Mary Weatherford and May Stevens Exhibitions at Site Santa Fe Present Career Retrospectives
In 2021, Site Santa Fe showcased two notable exhibitions. From April 16 to September 5, a career retrospective of Mary Weatherford was displayed, curated by Bill Arning and Ian Berry. This exhibition highlighted her early target paintings alongside later creations featuring neon tubes, which were influenced by a residency at CSU Bakersfield in 2012. Concurrently, a focused exhibition on May Stevens ran from March 26 to June 9, curated by Brandee Caoba and Lucy Lippard. A Santa Fe resident for 20 years, Stevens rose to fame in the 1970s with her feminist art and produced distinguished works such as Green Field (1988) and Her Boats (1996-97). Both exhibitions took place at 1606 Paseo De Peralta, Santa Fe, NM 87505.
