Curated by Nicholas Arbatsky.
Fisher Landau Center for Art presents “ALTERED APPEARANCES”, an exhibition dedicated to images that are not always what they appear to be. Utilizing experimental photographic processes & digital manipulation, the installation occupies the 2nd & 3rd floor galleries of the Center presenting 67 artworks by 28 artists from the Collection. Emily Fisher Landau’s passion for seeking out alternative visions is highlighted through the presentation of discrete themes focusing on ephemeral subject matter, innovative image processing & the construction of elusive architectural landscapes. Selections from Gregory Crewdson’s “Twilight” and Matthew Barney’s “Cremaster” series are juxtaposed with close cropped portraits including Andres Serrano’s haunting image of “Klanswoman (Grand Klaliff II, 1990) and Inez Van Lamsweerde’s otherworldly depiction of “Kirsten” (1996). James Casebere, Keith Cottingham, & Fariba Hajamadi create artificial interiors that are presented on a grand scale and form a complimentary dialogue with the exterior imagery of Lynn Davis, Michel Francois, Vera Lutter and Shirin Neshat. The 3rd floor gallery presents photographs by Adam Fuss featuring snakes, infants and moving water utilizing a photogram process whereby the image is created entirely without a camera, accompanied by the ethereal depictions of Barbaba Ess, made with a pinhole camera then printed to a format that is larger than life.
Additional artists include:
Peter Campus, Susan Derges, Nancy Dwyer, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Roni Horn, Barbara Kruger,
Robert Mapplethorpe, Vinoodh Matadin, Abelardo Morell, Richard Prince, Michal Rovner,
Lorna Simpson, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Cy Twombly, Neil Winokur.
