Time is of the Essence: Contemporary Landscape Art

Feb 22, 2008 - Jun 22, 2008
This spring the Asheville Art Museum is pleased to present an unusual look at landscape art. The exhibition brings together a select group of contemporary artists who consider intersections between time and place. Guest Curator Ann Batchelder assembled works in photography, video, painting, printmaking, film and sculpture from some of the most innovative and exciting artists working today. In a majestic yet unsettling photomontage, Ken Fandell merges images of the sky taken in different locations over a series of months. A large-scale photograph by Richard Misrach shows erosion from a more intimate point of view. Misrach`s chilling and beautiful Cancer Alley scenes suggest the impact of human thoughtlessness toward nature. Maya Lin offers layered sculptures of carved mountains and icebergs as well as a site-specific topographical depiction of the French Broad River made from hundreds of straight pins. Shot from a moving car along a hillside road in Hawaii, artist Kimsooja `s video A Wind Woman focuses on the elusive horizon, the blurred boundary where two worlds converge.
