Collin Zipp Work from his video and collage series. Below is a IM / email interview I conducted with Zipp. The collages above are not originally diptychs, I have paired them for formatting reasons. “Raw video footage is degraded using physical forces. The resultant images are then digitally captured and edited.” – Collin Zipp JT: […]

Justin James King Work from And Still We Gather With Infinite Momentum. “Justin James King radically intervenes in the common spectacle of the tourist vista by removing the view itself. A lone figure stands on a promontory gazing out into the utter void. Commenting on the reflexive act of looking (and by extension, on the […]

Maryanne Casasanta Work from suffices to decide if the necessary mood is there. “Maryanne Casasanta’s work offers questions to unanswered histories and contemplates the elusive exchange between art and commonplace. These documents observe the space and pattern that ornaments the land, while paraphrasing a desire to be grounded.” – Maryanne Casasanta

Joan Fontcuberta Work from Landscapes Without Memory. There is also a great review here. “Rather than venturing out into nature, Joan Fontcuberta creates plausible, even spectacular landscapes using Terragen, a computer program originally created for military and scientific uses that turns maps into images of three-dimensional terrain. For these three works, Fontcuberta scanned details of […]

Edward Burtynsky Work from Urban Mines and Breaking Ground. “Nature transformed through industry is a predominant theme in my work. I set course to intersect with a contemporary view of the great ages of man; from stone, to minerals, oil, transportation, silicon, and so on. To make these ideas visible I search for subjects that […]

Statement for The Andromeda Strain: “After making many landscape photographs I realized the search for special places is more important than the place itself. The notion of discovery has always been intimately linked to photography. The cliché of the photographer as an explorer of unknown […]

Geert Goiris Work from Slow Fast. The iconography of Geert Goiris includes rather cheerless interiors, deserted playgrounds, stationary locomotives, staged explosions in park-like surroundings, and mysterious constructions that have, at some time, embodied a modernist architectural Utopia. His major fascination and his most concentrated attention, however, are focused on desolate landscapes, which often seem to […]

Céline Clanet Work from Un mince vernis de réalité [A thin layer of reality]. “In this work, I do not picture anything that comes within the event, the extraordinary, or even the anecdotal. Few subjects are filling these images : things or people, most of them are isolated, lost in a moment of silence. These […]

Jonas Criscoe Work from the West Collection. “My work depicts the new monuments of the contemporary American landscape – walled-in track homes, chain restaurants, and elevated highways. It explores how our ever-expanding consumer culture has shaped the environments in which we live. My paintings are shiny postcards that depict these monuments of contemporary America, reflecting […]

Daniel Shea Work from Removing Mountians. Check out his work on NPR here. “In the summer of 2007 I began shooting a body of work examining the coal industry in Appalachia. What started as an interest in the modern coal mining process known as mountaintop removal quickly evolved into an extensive study of the social/political […]
