Booth B30
L, Parker Stephenson Photographs will again be participating in this international gathering of 133 galleries presenting photography along with and 40 photo-book publishers.
Our presentation is titled: READING THE SIGNS: THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF EARTH, WATER, AND HEAVENS
While our planet increasingly bears the imprint of humankind, the forces of nature reciprocate. L. Parker Stephenson Photographs will exhibit the work of four gallery artists who explore the intersections of these constantly fluctuating dynamics.
The economic history of a place, based on geography and natural resources, is charted by both John Davies (British, b. 1949) and Witho Worms (Dutch, b. 1959). Offering a broad vantage, Davies’ picturesque landscapes link their histories to the present. In contrast, Worms’ contact carbon prints aggregate conceptual typologies of seemingly wild sites which, in fact, are products of commercial practices. Ray Mortenson (American, b. 1944) pays reverence to the exquisite chaotic forces of entropy as vegetation claims its place. Shifting to the sublime and metaphysical, Kikuji Kawada (Japanese, b. 1933) invokes celestial magnetic powers causing them to glow amidst intense rich tones. We thank the Mondriaan Fund for its assistance in our presentation at the fair.
