Site Galleries

"One of the biggest struggles of a student-run gallery is that its institutional memory is scattered amongst people, locations, and exhibitions...This challenge is one of the main reasons SITE and SAIC's Department of Exhibitions and Exhibition Studies decided to produce this publication -- a document that not only celebrates the gallery's unique history, but solidifies it. Transforming it from a purely oral history into a written one...While this is not an exhaustive account of the gallery's history, it will provide an overview of the last 30 years. In addition to that, at the back of the book is a list of all recorded exhibitions, gallery workers, and artists as reflected in the archive." -- Introduction, page 1.
