Magnetic West: The Enduring Allure of the American West, Souix City Art Center, Souix City, Iowa, 2021
Memorial a los Muertos and Cattle Drive from the Carbon County project will be included in the Magnetic West exhibition at the Sioux City Art Center, Sioux City, Iowa, 2020-2021
“Organized by the Figge Art Museum, Magnetic West features over 150 photographs by some of the most renowned photographers of the 19th and 20th centuries. Picturing the west as a metaphor for promise and peril, the exhibition explores issues of identity, implications of living in a changing landscape, and the centrality of Native and immigrant communities to the essential dynamism of the region. Including images made by artists from the U.S. and abroad, the exhibition expands the dialogue of how our view of the west has evolved from the 19th century to today.
Assembled from many public and private collections, the exhibition includes important works by Robert Adams, Edward Burtynsky, Laura Gilpin, Zig Jackson, Elaine Mayes, Chandra McCormick, Cara Romero, Wendy Red Star, Victoria Sambunaris, Carleton Watkins, Wim Wenders and many others. The exhibition will also appear at the Sioux City Art Center, Sioux City, Iowa October 24, 2020 to January 17, 2021. A catalogue will be published in conjunction with the exhibition.” - Figge Art Museum
