This event has ended.

Continent, city, country, society:
the choice is never wide and never free.
And here, or there… No. Should we have stayed at home,
wherever that may be?

–Questions of Travel, Elizabeth Bishop

Planthouse, in collaboration with Aspinwall Editions, present Susan Goethel Campbell | Questions of Travel, the first exhibition with the artist at the gallery. The exhibition includes eleven prints from her series Lost Cities. The prints all made while in lockdown are being shown in New York for the first time.

Susan Goethel Campbell is a multi-disciplinary artist based in metropolitan Detroit. Her work considers the engineered environment as a natural process. The integration and erasure of human agency over broader global systems is a concept central to Campbell’s practice. Her work is realized in several formats, including prints, drawings, photographs, video, and installation.

Campbell’s work has been exhibited internationally in Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Slovenia, and throughout the United States. Her work is in the permanent collections of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the New York Public Library, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Grand Rapids Art Museum, the Toledo Museum of Art, and the University of Michigan Special Collections Library.
