SUMMARY:Spiraling: Photographs of the Great Salt Lake by David Maisel
DESCRIPTION:In January 2023\, climate scientists from Utah’s Brigham Young University warned that the Great Salt Lake could disappear within the next five years. David Maisel has been working in the vicinity of the lake for more than 35 years\, originally drawn there by the Kennecott Copper Mine and Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty; this exhibition is his latest chapter in tracing an environmental crisis unfolding before our eyes in real time. Few lakes rival Utah’s Great Salt Lake in size and significance — it is the largest saline lake in the United States and the eighth largest in the world. However\, drought conditions caused by climate change and industrial development have caused the lake to decrease in size by more than two-thirds in the past forty years. The surface area of the Lake has declined from 3\,330 square miles in 1980 to a record-low 950 square miles in 2021. A terminal lake\, meaning it has no natural outlets\, over time it has become a repository of arsenic\, dioxins\, mercury\, PCBs\, and other toxins from the mining industry as well as from agricultural runoff. As more of the lakebed becomes exposed due to the lake’s depletion\, the surrounding atmosphere has become increasingly poisoned by toxic airborne dust emanating from the playa. This threat directly impacts the 1.2 million residents of Salt Lake City and more than a million others living in the greater metropolitan area\, as well as some ten million migratory birds that rely on the Great Salt Lake. \nAcross the four decades of my photographic practice\, I have pursued themes surrounding the development and destruction of the environment\, particularly in the American West. Through my aerial photography documenting sites of industry\, urbanization\, military land use\, clearcutting of forests\, water reclamation projects\, and natural resource extraction\, I have chronicled the consequences of our transformation of the earth. As we move further into the twenty-first century\, my work has come to address issues related to climate change and the shape of our future.My horizonless images are made from a steeply banking aircraft\, using a handheld medium format camera\, the resulting pictures encompassing documentary and aesthetic perspectives in equal measure. With this multi-chaptered work\, I’m seeking to expand and redefine our understanding of the landscape and landscape art to include the defiled\, the ruined\, the chaotic\, and the toxic realms of our own making. —David Maisel \nFor information on hosting Spiraling\, please contact exhibitions@barrylopezfoundation.org

SUMMARY:From Here to the Horizon: Photographs in Honor of Barry Lopez
DESCRIPTION:For over five decades\, Barry Lopez explored the landscape through prose that offered a vivid and passionate account of our relationship with the natural world. His careful and conscientious descriptions of place were an inspiration for many artists\, who discovered a sympathetic connection with his intimate understanding of the world around us. In recognition of Lopez’s lasting influence\, fifty photographers donated a collection of prints in his honor\, selected in relation to entries in Home Ground: Language for an American Landscape\, a “reader’s dictionary” of regional landscape terms compiled by Lopez and co-editor\, Debra Gwartney. In this volume\, forty-five American writers — William deBuys\, Gretel Ehrlich\, Barbara Kingsolver\, William Kittredge\, Carolyn Servid\, Kim Stafford\, and Arthur Sze among them — explored our relationship with place and the value of local knowledge. They considered terms both familiar and evocative\, such as alluvial fan\, basin and range\, blue hole\, floodplain\, mesa\, lahar\, swale\, and sawtooth. In turn\, the photographers in the collection sought resonances between these phrases and their own work – from badland and sandhills to old-growth forest and slot canyon – to evoke both specific locations and the distinctive character of American topography.  \nPhotographers in the exhibition include Robert Adams\, Virginia Beahan\, Barbara Bosworth\, Lois Conner\, Linda Connor\, Peter de Lory\, Terry Evans\, Frank Gohlke\, Emmet Gowin\, David T. Hanson\, Alex Harris\, Ron Jude\, Mark Klett\, Laura McPhee\, Mary Peck\, Edward Ranney\, Mark Ruwedel\, Joel Sternfeld\, Bob Thall\, and Geoff Winningham\, among thirty others. From the quotidian to the mythic\, their images trace the profile of the landscapes we call home and the ones that fill our imaginations. While American photography has spent much of its recent history exploring the “Man-altered landscape\,” it never abandoned the pleasure to be found in the elegance and lyricism of the land itself. Together\, these photographers have created a catalog of American places\, from New England to the Great Lakes to the mountains and deserts of the West\, offering vistas that are welcoming and inspiring\, reassuring and sometimes ominous. \nIn Home Ground\, Lopez sought to revitalize a language of place in order to re-connect us to our communities\, our nation\, and ourselves. From Here to the Horizon: Photographs in Honor of Barry Lopez shares much the same goal\, celebrating the pleasures to be found in the land and seeking to renew our connection to the places that inspire our memories\, hopes and desires. \nFrom Here to the Horizon opened at the Sheldon Museum of Art\, University of Nebraska – Lincoln in January 2023 and will travel to three venues through spring 2027. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog with essays by Debra Gwartney\, Toby Jurovics\, and Robert Macfarlane\, distributed by Trinity University Press.
