ALIEN LANDSCAPE
2020-08-17Alien Landscape brings together a variety of contemporary approaches to depicting the natural world and beyond. The artists in this exhibition confront the vastness of their subject matter by directing our attention toward a particular vista, phenomenon, plant or creature to be considered anew. Conspicuously absent are people themselves, though traces of human intervention and technology appear. Rendering terrain both observed and invented, these works reframe our perspective, while in turn cultivating a heightened awareness of ourselves as just a small part of a big planet— one that requires our attention and care.
