As Cycle 4 of the Carnegie Museum of Art's Hillman Photography Initiative, the museum is mounting the exhibition Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape.
David Hartt's The Histories (Crépuscule) (2021; single-channel 4K video, 7:22, continuous loop, color, sound, monitor, FM radio transmitter, National Panasonic RF-9000 shortwave radio, tapestry) is included in the exhibition.
Photography has dramatically altered our access to, understanding of, and impact on the natural world. Through programming that includes the exhibition Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape, a podcast series, and publication, Widening the Lens examines inherited narratives about people and ecology to offer audiences multiple points of entry into landscape photography.
Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape is organized by Dan Leers, curator of photography, with Keenan Saiz, Hillman Photography Initiative project curatorial assistant.
