During the first week of June, many of the artists selected to participate in SITE Santa Fe's Seventh International Biennial, Lucky Number Seven were busy preparing their spaces and artworks. In the unfussy work atmosphere, amid the sounds of hammering and drilling and sawing, there was laughter, as well as concentration, camaraderie, and sometimes intensity.
Entering the SITE space on June 3, I just missed biennial curator Lance M. Fung lambasting one of the artists. "My work is so transparent, the same as how I speak, just like you would have heard me screaming at this artist, saying some really heavy-duty stuff, which I meant and I won't take back," Fung said. "It is what it is. Look at Lucky Number Seven. My work is me, and I'm my work. I'm not conceiving anything here. Lucky Number...

Helle examines the social class and economic realities in her recent work about US poet Sylvia Plath, who labored picking strawberries during her teen-aged summers and who kept exact notes about the money she made from her writing.

Long before Andy Warhol (1928-87) made art out of a common soup can, another artist turned the art world upside down by questioning what art is or what it can be. That artist was Marcel Duchamp (1887- 1968), a Frenchman who changed the rules in 1917 by entering a urinal for an exhibit in a New York gallery.
Duchamp conceived of the artwork, titled "Fountain," for a show promoting avant-garde art. Paying the $6 entry fee for an exhibit of the American Society of Independent Artists, he signed it with the pseudonym "R. Mutt" as a prank to his fellow avant-garde artists. It was never actually included in the exhibit. Nevertheless the piece has become iconic, and is widely considered one of the most influential modern artworks of all time.

A family may survive the economic conditions, yet still lose its home in a missile strike, for example. Since Operation Cast Lead, the continuing Israeli siege has meant the unavailability of critical building supplies needed to rebuild hope and promise a life of future normalcy.
