YOU SEE I AM HERE AFTER ALL
2009-05-04One of my favourite exhibition spaces in the world – Dia: Beacon presents You see I am here after all, a new work by American artist Zoe Leonard comprising several thousand vintage postcards of Niagara Falls that the artist collected in flea markets and online auctions., dating from the early 1900s to the 1950s. Rendered stereotypical and generic through repletion over decades, these landscape motifs are emblematic of mass culture’s transformation of natural sites into tourist destinations.
This exhibition runs until the 10th of September, 2010
