Museums: March 2006 Archives

Archinect has published an interview with photographer David Maisel by BLDGBLOG author Geoff Manaugh.

For the most part, I’m interested in landscape images not merely for what they look like, but for what they make us feel, and for what they might represent metaphorically. I’ve also wanted my pictures to take the viewer to places and sites they’ve never seen before, with a resulting sense of alienation or displacement. I'm less interested in being warm and fuzzy than in being harsh and cruel! [laughter] Those possibilities don’t exist when looking at the familiar.

Maisel's Black Maps project is being shown at the Southest Museum of Photography in Daytona. If you're on spring break, you might want to swing by.

Through June 23rd at Southeast Museum of Photography

Modern Art Notes has the run down on the expanded Getty Photography Center, 7,000 square feet of exhibition space scheduled to open in October. Cool for the Angelenos.
