Life on Land brings together works by Teresa Baker, Dawoud Bey, Yoan Capote, Sky Hopinka, Carlos Rolon, and Paul Rudy. Through photography, film, drawing, textiles, painting, and sound, the exhibition explores how landscape is shaped by history, embodiment, and the archive, offering new ways of understanding place as a site of memory, narrative, and ongoing cultural exchange.
Taking inspiration from shifting art histories and the cultural force of artists who expand how we understand landscape, the Artspace has organized a constellation of exhibitions that reconsider landscape as both subject and method. Together, these projects unfold new narratives and deepen our understanding of how meaning is shaped through depictions and evocations of the physical environment.
Life on Land introduces encounters with six artists – Teresa Baker, Dawoud Bey, Yoan Capote, Sky Hopinka, Carlos Rolón, and Paul Rudy – who explore hidden or invisible truths, reimagine exile through abstraction, and evidence the archive of lived experience through innovative approaches to documentation.
