Mapping The Sublime

 “Mapping The Sublime: Reframing Landscape in the 21st Century” was created by Los Angeles-based artists Lawrence Gipe and Beth Davila Waldman. The artists organized this survey of a diverse group of 19 artists that challenge our culture’s entrenched conceptions regarding the landscape genre. This exhibit critically re-examines the genre as a mediated view of nature and a construction of centuries of aesthetic processing, demarcation, and colonial expansion. The works persuade the viewer to consider the landscape genre anew, with traditional notions of the Sublime reevaluated to reflect contemporary issues of climate change and the Anthropocene. The featured artists have made compelling cases, over decades of practice and passion, for an issue that needs to be faced with ever-growing urgency. 

A free, public reception will be held on Saturday, April 23, 2022, with an artist’s panel discussion moderated by Shana Nys Dambrot. 

Exhibiting artists include Luciana Abait, Kim Abeles, Fatemeh Burnes, Linda Connor, Rodney Ewing, Guillermo Galindo / Interventions with Richard Misrach, Lawrence Gipe, Dimitri Kozyrev, Ann Le, Constance Mallinson, Ryan McIntosh, Liz Miller Kovacs, Deborah Oropallo & Andy Rappaport, Kit Radford, Aili Schmeltz, Alex Turner, Beth Davila Waldman, Rodrigo Valenzuela, Amir Zaki.
