LANA Z CAPLAN: peach blossom spring
On View: January 3 – February 1, 2014
Reception: Friday, January 3, 6 – 8pm
In 2012, Lana Z Caplan was invited to spend the summer in Beijing as an Artist-in-Residence at the Inside Out Art Museum. While in China, Caplan was struck by the changes she witnessed since her previous visit in 2005. With a combination of color photographs, video installation, and 8x10” tintypes, Caplan uses her experiences in China to explore the larger theme of how our relationship to nature has changed as a result of industrialization and the shift to city dwelling.
