Solo exhibitions from Alyssa Baguss, Marc Berghaus, and Mark Cowardin.
October 27, 2021 - January 2, 2022
New Landscapes contains three independent solo presentations from artists Alyssa Baguss, Marc Berghaus, and Mark Cowardin. While the title suggests a collective exhibition, New Landscapes stretches out to connect the ways in which these three artists individually mediate, manipulate, and mitigate the natural world. The term “landscape” is inherently tied to environment, land, and geographical placement, but can also refer to the horizontal orientation of an artwork. In either case, landscape is an aesthetic reference of what surrounds us and how we understand our habitat. Whether we think of this in nostalgic terms, in an idealized setting, or simply as a reminder of where we are in the world, landscape fundamentally shapes the way we understand our place.
Artists Baguss, Berghaus, and Cowardin create immersive installation-based artworks that serve as hyper-realized landscapes which are equal- ly representative as they are imaginative. These artworks also suggest imagined landscapes that allow us to transport ourselves to a new locale. While commenting on our current condition and asserting a hopeful future narrative, these artists are ultimately creating spaces for reflection.
