 sidered_View_The_Photographs_of_Wayne_Gudmundson\nEvent Date Begin: 2010-0
 2-03\nEvent Date End: 2010-02-21\n\nWayne Gudmundson has been photographin
 g the upper Midwest for over 35 years and in that time created a body work
  offering a glimpse of life on the plains. Gudmundson's project of photogr
 aphing the vast\, beautiful\, terrifying\, sublime terrain has resulted in
  a body of work that helps to establish how sense of place creates our col
 lective sense of identity. Gudmundson succeeds in recognizing and recordin
 g a vision of the terrain that is all too easily dismissed or simply misse
 d outright by those not familiar.\nGudmundson sees the land in ways that m
 ost others do not. He seeks vistas that are not necessarily heroic or over
 tly romantic. Vistas that can speak to different kinds of truths\, the mul
 tiple truths of people living on the land\, marking the land\, trying to m
 eld with the land\, and in the process\, identifying with the land. Gudmun
 dson photographs stand as testimonies to the upper Midwest's unique sense 
 of place. Few\, if any\, artists have approached the upper Midwest landsca
 pe in such a manner.\nGudmundson's work is in major museum collections acr
 oss the US\, as well as Canada and Iceland\, including the San Francisco M
 useum of Modern Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The wor
 k in MoMA was selected by John Szarkowski\, Director Emeritus of the Depar
 tment of Photography at MoMA.\nThe exhibition catalogue will be co-publish
 ed by the Plains Art Museum and the North Dakota State University's Instit
 ute of Regional Studies. The museum has commissioned Frank Gohlke and Thom
 as Isern to write exhibition catalogue essays.\nFrank Gohlke turned to pur
 sue photography after earning his MA in English literature from Yale Unive
 rsity. Gohlke was one of the seminal photographers included in the landmar
 k exhibition 'New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape\,' 
 curated by William Jenkins in 1975 for the George Eastman House Internatio
 nal Museum of Photography and Film. His photography was first shown at the
  Museum of Modern Art in 1978\, and later in 1983\, and 2005. Currently\, 
 the Amon Carter Museum is organizing a major retrospective of Gohlke's car
 eer.\nThomas Isern is a Professor of History at North Dakota State Univers
 ity. Isern's area of academic expertise is the history and folklore of the
  Great Plains. He is the author of five books\, including Dakota Circle: E
 xcursions on the True Plains. Dr. Isern is a former Fulbright Scholar and 
 has also researched and written on the plains of Canada\, New Zealand\, an
 d Australia.\nThe Gudmundson exhibition and catalogue will deepen the unde
 rstanding of the upper Midwest landscape and establish the land's importan
 ce to our collective psyches.\n \n\nStart time: Exhibit galleries and Muse
