Relish on the Road: New Topographics at George Eastman House

August 27th, 2009 Jason Parker Posted in Interview, Out of Town, Photography 1 Comment »

We normally concentrate on Atlanta visual arts, but recently I had the opportunity to speak with curator Alison Nordström of Rochester’s George Eastman House on their new presentation of the seminal New Topographics exhibition and could not pass up the opportunity. The show is up at Eastman House until Sept. 27, when it will travel to eight international venues, though unfortunately it won’t be coming to Atlanta.

This video is a little longer than usual. I find it fascinating. Part two of our interview concerns a concurrent exhibition called “Nature as Artifice: New Dutch Landscape in Photography and Video Art.” I’ll have that up as soon as I can.
