LANCE FUNG TO CURATE NEXT SITE SANTA FE

SITE Santa Fe has announced the appointment of Lance Fung as curator of its Seventh International Biennial exhibition, scheduled to run from July 2008 through early January 2009. Currently, Fung is curating the first international large-scale exhibition of public installations in Beijing in conjunction with the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. As an independent curator, Fung has worked on such exhibitions as “Crossing Parallels” at the SSamzie Space in Seoul, Korea, and “Revisiting Gordon Matta-Clark” at the Venice Architectural Biennale in 2002. In a statement, Fung said, “As the curator for 2008, I want to do more than just another big group exhibition—I want to redefine the paradigm of a biennial through collaboration.”
