Internationally Acclaimed Photographer Richard Misrach to Speak at
Westminster
SALT LAKE CITY (Feb. 17, 2005) Internationally acclaimed photographer
Richard Misrach is a Westminster College Distinguished
Artist-in-Residence. Misrach is known for his unique landscape work which
incorporates social, political and environmental emphases with traditional
landscape photography. Although he has worked in many regions worldwide
since the early 1970s, from 1975 to the present he has been concentrating
on the deserts of the American West. He has photographed manmade
fires and floods, space shuttle landings and nuclear test sites, mass
graves of dead animals, and conventional bombing ranges. He has also
brought more conceptual approaches to the medium with the exploration of
language and theory in relation to the American landscape and its
politics. His work appears in over 50 major institutions including
the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the National Gallery
of Art in Washington D.C. Misrach will speak at Westminster in the Vieve
Gore Concert Hall in the Emma Eccles Jones Conservatory on Tuesday, March
8, 2005 at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
