The Influence of The New West
Confounding Expectations: Photography in Context

7:00 p.m.

Originally published in 1974, Robert Adams’s The New West signaled a significant shift in photographic representation of the American landscape. Adams focused on construction of tract and mobile homes, subdivisions, and urban sprawl in the Denver area, where he lived at the time. Coinciding with the reissue of this seminal photography book by Aperture, panelists will discuss the impact of this body of work as well as the ongoing issues related to our not-so-delicate relationship with the western landscape.

Panelists include: Joshua Chuang, Yale University Gallery; Mark Klett, photographer; Shane Coen, coen+partners.
