Press Release: About the Exhibition
Looking at Our
Landscape is an
exhibition of photographs taken by the residents of Benton, Carroll, Madison,
and Washington counties in Arkansas.
These four counties, often
referred to as Northwest Arkansas, are
undergoing rapid transformation caused by a number of economic and
environmental factors.
Regardless of whether change comes as improvements or
destruction to land and structures, the need exists to document our changing
landscape.
Looking at Our Landscape is a
regional response to Heroes of
Horticulture, an exhibition featuring 12 celebrated photographers’
documentation of threatened
heritage landscapes located throughout the United States.
On display at the Massey earlier this year, Heroes
of Horticulture was organized by the
George Eastman House
International Museum of Photography and Film in collaboration with The Cultural
Landscape Foundation of Washington, D.C.
From this inspiration,
residents of Northwest Arkansas community were
invited to look at the landscape in this corner of our state and send
photographs that
illustrate what is important to them – the public and private
places worthy of a second look. The photographs tell stories and share
memories;
each is more than ordinary documentation of a place. Together they
offer an identification of our regional character through the subjects and
moments presented.
