The Multivalent Landscape with Michael Lundgren

Join us via Zoom Wednesday, August 17th, at 7 pm ET

Michael Lundgren's darkly beautiful photographs give the viewer a window into a mystical world where time itself seems to collapse. Motivated by a perceived lack of connection between humans and nature, Lundgren’s work offers insight into the richly storied realm of the animate landscape. Join us for this dynamic conversation where Lundgren will share deeply about his own work while giving us insights into his unique creative process.

“Landscape has always been an invitation for me into the mystical, for that which is beyond our rational understanding of the world. I’ve hoped to make photographs that act as parallels for that entrance. That invite the viewer to contemplate a world that they do not understand and in so doing, to arrest their own world view.“ - Michael Lundgren

Michael Lundgren was named a Guggenheim Fellow in 2017 and is the author of two monographs with Radius Books. Stanley/Barker published his latest book, Geomancy in 2019. Lundgren’s work resides in esteemed collections such as the Nevada Museum of Art, Reno; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; the Fralin Museum, Charlottesville and the Brandts Museum of Photographic Art, Denmark.
