“How are present day artists responding to the land? Have technologies
like satellite imagery and the internet demystified the landscape? How are
artists in turn using these technologies to enrich and influence their work?
Has the reverence for the landscape that artists like George Innes and Winslow
Homer portrayed in their work diminished or increased in recent artwork?"
These are the questions that curators Nirmal Raja and Christopher Willey are
exploring in the upcoming exhibition Chasing Horizons; which opens at the Villa
Terrace Museum of Decorative Arts on May 3, 2013.
12 Artists will be exhibiting their response to the varied, open, and
constantly changing concept of “landscape” through a variety of media such as
digital photography, video, kinetic and site specific sculpture, paintings, and
mixed media installations.
Artists: Emily Belknap, Beki Borman, Crystal Ann Brown, Stephen
Cartwright, Allan DeSouza, Kevin Giese, Tonia Klein, Dara Larson, Paul Ramirez
Jonas, Alessandra Torres, Clement Valla, and Jason S. Yi.
