Five national and international lens-based artists will show their creative relationships with landscapes in July at WallSpace-LNK. A special “second Friday” reception July 8 at 5pm for “that space, that garden” features artists from Canada, California, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Washington.
Several of the visiting artists will be at the opening reception and in Lincoln for a few days surrounding the opening.
Madeline Cass of Lincoln curated the group show of artists that use tools from the earliest photographic methods to the most postmodern, to investigate the feelings, both literal and emotional, elicited by a climate on the brink of catastrophe.
Invited artists:
Meganelizabeth Diamond, living in rural Manitoba on Treaty 1, uses photography, collage and moving image “to recontextualize our relationships with the natural world and domestic spaces.” All Sides of the Grassblades, Hahnemühle Photo Rag
Berkeley-based Leah Koransky works with light, shape, and shadow in a variety of photographic and painterly techniques on paper and fabric. She often uses minerals and plant-based inks to highlight lesser noticed or overlooked aspects of the landscape. Sun fused to the blue, cyanotype on arches paper
Emily Margarit Mason creates momentary sculptural sets for the camera using fragmented photographic prints and found materials. Living and working in New Mexico, she “reimagines the perceived natural world from something seen to something felt.” A Wet Sunset, archival pigment print on satin
Meg Roussos starts from Seattle to find sites for installations she makes, then photographs. Dragging materials and camera into wild spaces, her work “engages in a dialogue about what it means to physically experience the landscape.” Inlay 1, archival pigment print
Madeline Cass is a multidisciplinary artist based in Lincoln, Nebraska. She primarily works within photography, poetry, artist books, painting, and drawing. She uses these tools to examine the multitude of relationships between art, science, nature, and humanity. Suns, archival inkjet print
