Lay of the LAND: Interpretation of SCAPES
On view from September 9, 2024 through June 27, 2025
About the Exhibition
Through different techniques, landscapes have been a foundational genre for artists and viewers for centuries. This constant presence has made it easy to overlook the depth and breadth in depicting and relating to landscapes. Curated by University of Denver undergraduate and graduate students, Lay of the LAND: Interpretations of SCAPES reaffirms landscape as vast and variable, rather than stagnant and contained.
Across five sections, landscapes will be presented, examined, and sometimes challenged. Variations in “traditional” depictions, abstraction, physical changes through topography or season and human engagement with land thematically explore transitions across time, media, culture, and style. As a whole, the exhibition broadens landscape art to encompass multiple horizons.
Curated by University of Denver students: Kit Bernal, Miyo Fukuzawa, Megan Gannon, Celia Haims, Marianne Hughes, Karissa Johnson, Savannah Kirksey, Eden Leal, Courtney Lindy, Annie Petty, Danielle Reisman.
