May 21, 2013 - August 30, 2013
Reception Date: May 23, 2013 from 5 - 6:30pm. Claire Harlan’s Grandscapes is an examination of the similarities between the built environment of the city and the desolate expanse of the desert. She attempts to detach the anxiety associated with the congested spread of Los Angeles by navigating the urban surroundings in the bareness of night. By making photographs in the nocturnal hours, Harlan can focus on the immense impact of spatial design absent from human interference. Each of Harlan’s sites displays considerable beauty that occurs when the liveliness of everyday comes to a rest.
Venue Lionel Rombach Gallery

RECEPTION: May 15, 3-4:30pm. Between September and December 2012, a group of eighty-six talented and critically engaged 6th grade students from Alice Vail Middle School investigated the ways in which visual culture informs our perceptions of gender, the persuasive power of ecological art, and the reflective nature of art making. This exhibition validates and honors the voices of these students and the power of art integration.
