From the Collective “In Spring 2020, the Environmental Photography Collective was born out of a desire to create a more inclusive space in the historically androcentric fields of landscape and environmental photography. As artists with a long history as educators, our members have diverse yet overlapping interests that include environmental science, land use, biology, geology, cultural studies, and social justice. The breadth of our interests helps to build connections between cultural producers, community leaders, emerging artists, and scientific researchers, creating new production methods and ways to disseminate our work.”

Climate / Change, a celebration of art, in all media, that captures the spirit and creative voices of artists living in Iowa and a 300-mile radius of Sioux City. This year’s exhibition showcases a powerful mix of emerging and established artists whose work engages with the unique cultural, social, and environmental narratives of our time.

The landscape photography exhibit “Homeland: Photographs from the Anthropocene” will be on view March 1-April 5 in the Brick City Gallery.

The exhibit features the works of four artists: Ian Campbell, Terra Fondriest, Dana Fritz and Drew Nikonowicz. Each artist will give a brief gallery talk April 5 from 6:30-7:30 p.m.

«Nuevas topografías fotográficas: de vueltas con el paisaje» es una exposición colectiva de carácter internacional integrada por el trabajo de dieciséis artistas visuales que investigan desde la plástica fotográfica la noción de paisaje. El título constituye un guiño al hito expositivo que supuso «Nuevas Topografías: Fotografías de paisajes alterados por el hombre», muestra organizada por la George Eastman House de Nueva York en 1975, donde diez fotógrafos cambiaron para siempre la forma de percibir y contemplar el paisaje como género fotográfico y pensamiento social y cultural.

Uncertain.

In these last few years, we’ve heard, read, and uttered this word repeatedly. The global pandemic, social upheaval, glaring inequality and the climate crisis. Uncertain is a word we use when we don’t know how to predict an outcome. It’s a word we use when the future feels unknowable. And because art has the capacity to hold time—the past, present, and future, often simultaneously—we turn to it for hope.

Field Guide to a Hybrid Landscape makes visible the forces that shaped what was once the world's largest hand-planted forest located in the Sandhills region of Nebraska, the largest intact temperate grassland in the world. Re:forest focuses on seedlings grown at Bessey Nursery, located in the Bessey Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forests and Grasslands. No longer producing seedlings for the hand-planted forest as originally intended, the oldest federal nursery now provides seedlings to National Forests with catastrophic fire and beetle damage.

In Field Guide to a Hybrid Landscape, Dana Fritz’s photographs make visible the forces that shaped the Bessey Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest and Grasslands, once the world’s largest hand-planted forest. Wind, water, planting, thinning, burning, decomposing, and sowing all contribute to its environmental history. A conifer forest was overlaid onto a semi-arid grassland just west of the 100th meridian in an ambitious late nineteenth-century idea to create a timber industry, and to change the local climate.

The Eide/Dalrymple Gallery at Augustana University opens “Views Removed: Photographs by Dana Fritz,” which will be on view from Thursday, March 24, through Saturday, April 23. A gallery reception will take place on Friday, March 25, with a public lecture from 6:15-7 p.m. in Room 123 of the Fryxell Humanities Center and gallery talk at 7:30 p.m.

San Francisco Center for the Book and San Francisco Public Library host Reclamation: Artists' Books on the Environment, a juried exhibition of artists' books exploring our relationship to the environment at this moment on the planet.

Environmental concerns demand increasing attention, from rising temperatures and dangerous weather events, to crises in water quality, to multiplying fires...the list goes on, echoed around the globe. Book artists create works that involve, educate, and inspire action. Book art takes many forms. Reclamation: Artists' Books on the Environment seeks to inspire and educate viewers to reflect on climate change and its impacts locally, nationally, and internationally. At the same time, the exhibition endeavors to avoid dualistic arguments common to today’s divisive political scene.

The photographs in the series Terraria Gigantica: The World Under Glass, frame the world’s largest enclosed landscapes as possible impossibilities: Biosphere 2’s ocean in the Arizona desert, the Henry Doorly Zoo’s desert in the Great Plains of Nebraska, and Eden Project’s tropical rain forest in notoriously gray and cool Cornwall, England. These vivaria are enclosed environments where plants are grown amidst carefully constructed representations of the natural world to entertain visiting tourists. At the same time, however, they support scientific observation and research on the plants and animals housed under these ‘natural conditions’ that require human control of temperature, humidity, irrigation, insects, and weeds to cultivate otherwise impossible environments and species. Taken together, these architectural and engineering marvels stand as working symbols of our current and complex relationship with the non-human world.

Stephen Bulger Gallery is pleased to present "Land Use", a group exhibition of work by artists Robert Burley,  Dana Fritz, Geoffrey James, and Jamey Stillings.

Much of human activity is spent either glorifying or mastering our natural surroundings. Whether nurturing a garden into harmony with a built environment, or finding a natural oasis within a large city, people's interaction with nature is constantly evolving. This exhibition combines the work of four artists whose projects each explore a particular connection with nature.

De getoonde foto’s in TERRARIA GIGANTICA: THE WORLD UNDER GLASS zijn gemaakt in Biosphere II. Het is een van ‘s werelds grootste indoorlandschappen waar planten groeien in zorgvuldig nagebootste ecosystemen, ter vermaak en educatie van toeristen en ter ondersteuning van wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Biosphere II is in de jaren tachtig ontworpen als een luchtdichte replica van de aarde, ten behoeve van onderzoek naar ruimtekolonisatie – Biosphere I is onze aarde zelf. Het experiment mislukte en de locatie wordt nu gebruikt voor onderzoek en educatie over duurzaamheid. Deze en andere architecturale en bouwkundige wonderen, met ecosystemen die elders onmogelijk zouden kunnen bestaan, zijn symbolen van onze complexe relatie met de natuurlijke wereld. Fritz nodigt zo de kijker uit om na te denken over onze verantwoordelijkheden en onze ecologische toekomst.
