Monika Bravo was an artist-in-residence at The Santa Fe Art Institute as part of that organization’s Emergency Relief Residency for artists from Lower Manhattan. Previously, she was part of the WORLD VIEWS Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) Studio Residency Program at the World Trade Center. For three and a half months, she shared space on the North Tower’s 92nd floor with 14 other artists. On September 10, 2001, Bravo filmed what she describes as “an unusual thunderstorm” from the windows of her studio. She left that evening with seven hours of time-lapse footage and three inkjet prints. On September 11, 2001, fellow artist-in-residence Michael Richards lost his life in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, and the remaining artists lost nearly all their work and equipment.

SITE Santa Fe is pleased to present an exhibition of Monika Bravo’s work titled Playing With Time, which includes five separate works. The exhibition will feature Bravo’s video projection, September 10 2001, Uno Nunca Muere la Vispera (One Never Dies the Day Before), a five-minute document dedicated to artist Michael Richards’ memory. Also included in the exhibition will be Liquify and A_Maze, two interactive DVD installations that will be customized for SITE Santa Fe, and Playing With Time and movingframe/stillframe, two additional video projections.

Thank you!
