Locating Landscapes: New Strategies, New Technologies @ Sam Lee Gallery


Paho Mann "Mr. Formal" Phoenix, Arizona, 2006


Margot Anne Kelley "N 36° 14.381 W 115° 18.746 (Lone Mountain, Nevada)" 2002


Lewis Baltz "Hidden Valley, Looking South" 1977


Locating Landscape showcases artists working at the edges of photography, landscape, technology, and geo-location, and includes work by Lewis Baltz, Christiana Caro, Andrew Freeman, Frank Gohlke, Margot Anne Kelley, Mark Klett, Paho Mann, Adam Thorman, and Byron Wolfe.

Inspired by the current revival of the influential and critically acclaimed New Topographics exhibition from 1975, which will be concurrently on view at LACMA, Locating Landscape highlights some of the most interesting young artists at work in Los Angeles and the Southwest today, linking their work with the New Topographics generation. This earlier generation has proven decisively influential for the artists in the show, sometimes directly so. Margot Anne Kelley and Christiana Caro studied with Frank Gohlke; Andrew Freeman studied with Lewis Baltz; and Paho Mann and Adam Thorman studied with Mark Klett as well as Bill Jenkins, the original curator of New Topographics at George Eastman House in Rochester, New York.
