Mark Klett Virtual Walk-Through photo-eye Conversations

Описание: As part of our video series photo-eye Conversations, photo-eye Gallery Director Anne Kelly and Mark Klett do a virtual walk-through of Seeing Time: A Forty Year Retrospective, his online exhibition. They also discuss the artist's prolific career and the making of his book.

Seeing Time: A Forty Year Retrospective, an online solo exhibition by renowned photographer Mark Klett, is the first in a series of our Gallery’s major online shows that use photoeye’s revolutionary new VisualServer X website builder.

With a career spanning over four decades, Mark Klett has advanced a new notion of landscape photography, one that reframes our idea of what “pictures of the land” can mean. His projects explore relationships between time, change and perception while exploring the language of photographic media as it evolves technologically.

Influenced by late nineteenth-century expeditionary photographers, including Timothy O'Sullivan, Mark Klett visually explores the contemporary versions of these landscapes and the marks left on them by humankind, whether it be the lights of a city, a hat, foot or shadow jutting into the frame, or debris/artifacts left behind by ancient or modern passers-by. Primarily working in the Southwestern deserts, Klett neither laments the peopling of the landscape, nor attempts to visually preserve the last of the pristine landscape of the American West. Rather, he explores the inevitable interaction of culture and habitat.

Mark Klett was born in Albany, New York, earned a B.S. in geology in 1974 from St. Lawrence University and an MFA in photography from the State University of New York, Buffalo, in conjunction with the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester in 1977. Klett has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, and the Japan/US Friendship Commission. Klett’s work has been exhibited and published in the United States and internationally for over thirty-five years, and his work is held in over eighty museum collections worldwide. He is the author/co-author of fifteen books. Klett lives in Tempe, Arizona where he is Regents’ Professor of Art at Arizona State University.
