"OASES: A Group Show of Photography"
2003-07-08 until 2003-08-22
Laurence Miller Gallery
New York, NY, USA United States of America

Laurence Miller Gallery is pleased to present OASES, a group show of photographs that explore the landscape as a place for sanctuary, shelter, protection, and contemplation, as well as a place of risk, threat, menace and jeopardy. The ten artists exhibiting are Larry Burrows, Lois Conner, Stephane Couturier, Yannick Demmerle, Lennart Durehead, William Eggleston, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Uta Kogelsberger, Mark Mann and Toshio Shibata.

The landscape has always provided artists with an infinite range of choices for personal expression, whether it be the depiction of a holy place or the carnage of a battlefield. The ten artists selected for OASES each bring a different interpretation to the landscape. Larry Burrows, shooting from U.S. Marine helicopter, reveals a group of helpless Vietcong prisoners being marched across gorgeous water-filled paddies; Yannick Demmerle invites the viewer to feel lost within the rich details of an endless autumn forest; William Eggleston records a detail of golden sand scarred by a tire track, and punctuated by weeds; Mark Mann creates an urban oasis in which a family seeks safety in the median of grass between lanes of a highway; and Uta Kogelsberger reveals a nighttime scene in which a barren house sits aglow within the darkness of a subterranean land.
