Our Cities are Landscapes Too
If you didn’t pick up last week’s SEE Magazine, you missed seeing this in print:
“We think of ourselves as rugged outdoorsmen, Mounties and everything else, and we don’t think of ourselves as city folk,” starts Anthony Easton, curator of Not Another Fucking Landscape, one of two new photography exhibits opening at Latitude 53 this Friday. “We haven’t constructed an identity of urbanity, but we are. I think that we have to acknowledge urban constructions of landscape as part of our geographic core and we have to acknowledge that we aren’t survivors anymore in the Margaret Atwood sense of the word. It’s a good life we have, most of us. But it’s a life constructed almost entirely through urban existence.”
Kathleen Bell spoke to curator Anthony Easton about his show Not Another Fucking Landscape which is up right now in the ProjEx Room.
