LAND/SPACE: Rodrigo Valenzuela & The New Topographics

About

The gallery will present ten canvas-based works from June 22nd until closing for the summer break in mid-August. Interspersed among the Valenzuela installation will be a selection of vintage photographs from the New Topographics era of the 1970s and 80s taking a cross-generational look at the potential energies and implications of land and space in the American West. Prints are included by artists Robert Adams, Nicholas Nixon, Henry Wessel, and Lewis Baltz, among others. In the gallery’s project room, an additional selection of Rodrigo Valenzuela’s photography series American Type will be on display. With this juxtaposition, the gallery continues to champion artists expanding the creative potential of photo-based art as its primary curatorial focus. All the while placing them within the perspective of the medium’s historical pendulum, celebrating rare examples of equilibrium between image and object.
