8 APR 2022 / 22 NOV 2022Nani Chacon
In connection with the exhibition Nani Chacon: SPECTRUM, SITE SANTA FE also presented large-scale reproductions of three murals by artist Nani Chacon (b.1980 Chinle, Diné). Illuminating the literal and figurative through lines between works that are otherwise physically distant from one another, Chacon's triptych on SITE Santa Fe's billboards illustrates the way disparate influences in one's life intersect to form a rich spectrum of experience.
