"Past Present Future: Michael Berman, David Taylor and Connie Samaras"
NEW MEXICO MUSEUM OF ART - Santa Fe, NM
October 28 - April 22, 2012
Michael P. Berman, David Taylor and Connie Samaras have all lived and worked in New Mexico and their photographs in this exhibit concentrate on the landscape in and surrounding Southern New Mexico. Their diversity of approach results in three unique and layered sets of images of our desert terrain. This arid land captures time in a fashion that is at once biological, political and hypothetical. A condensation of time is so broad that its only rival for breadth is the sprawl of the site itself. Each of these photographers presents us with a desert landscape that is simultaneously of the present, reflecting the past and hinting at the future.
