Museyrooms: Intersections of People and Art in Museums

by Polytekton
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781941892152 Obvious Press

A collection of color photographs that show mobile people in static spaces (museums). The book contains more than 300 images of people and art intersecting formally and informally in museum spaces around the world. Many of the blurred images create impromptu relationships between the museum visitors and the art work. The title of the book acknowledges the single instance of the word in the first chapter of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, and it is also a reference to Jennifer Bloomer's Assemblage 5 article "In the Museyroom"-a literary journey into John Soane's own house museum, referenced obliquely, like everything else in Joyce's work-that was published in 1988.

Devour the Land: War and American Landscape Photography Since 1970
<b>Tracing the impacts of militarism on the American landscape, through the lens of art, environmental studies, and politics</b> <p/><i>Devour the Land</i> considers how contemporary photographers have responded to the US military's impact on the domestic environment since the 1970s, a dynamic period for environmental activism as well as for photography. This catalogue presents a lively range of voices at the intersection of art, environmentalism, militarism, photography, and politics. Alongside interviews with prominent contemporary artists working in the landscape photography tradition, the images speak to photographers' varied motivations, personal experiences, and artistic approaches. The result is a surprising picture of the ways violence and warfare surround us. Although most modern combat has taken place abroad, the US domestic landscape bears the footprint of armed conflict--much of the environmental damage we live with today was caused by our own military and the expansive network of industries supporting its work. Designed to evoke a field book and to nod toward ephemera produced by earlier artists and activists, the catalogue features works by dozens of photographers, including Ansel Adams, Robert Adams, Dorothy Marder, Alex Webb, Terry Evans, and many more. <p/>Distributed for the Harvard Art Museums <br><p> <br><strong>Exhibition Schedule: </strong></p><b>Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, MA</b><br> (September 17, 2021-January 16, 2022)<br>
