Ian Baguskas "Sweet Water"
Jen Bekman Gallery
This event has ended.
Jen Bekman is pleased to present Ian Baguskas’ New York City solo debut, "Sweet Water," an exhibition of photographs documenting failed oases of the American West. "Sweet Water" presents us with striking images of vast land and open skies, lying in contrast to artificial, isolated structures, portraying a landscape fractured by modern aspirations’ collisions with the formidable, often unbeatable powers of nature. While journeying from one end of California to the other, Baguskas documented the remains of human attempts to transform untameable landscapes into personal utopias. The resulting images are at once archaeological, anthropological, and aesthetically beautiful.
