Cornell University’s College of Architecture, Art and Planning will present James Casebere: Scales and Dimensions from August 24 to September 20, 2014. The exhibition will take place across two gallery spaces, the John Hartell Gallery and the Olive Tjaden Gallery.
The John Hartell Gallery will focus on Casebere’s recent work, predominately from the Landscape with Houses (Dutchess County) series. The exhibition will consist of photographs from large to small and, unusually, a display of the corresponding scale models that were used to create them. The Olive Tjaden Gallery will feature highlights from several other series, including, Classroom, Hallway, and Spanish Bath.
Casebere rarely reveals the scale models that contribute to his photographs. This exhibition is uniquely organized to engage students and faculty in the process of making the work, with an emphasis on how modeling is incorporated in creating an image from specific vantage points.
The exhibition presents a broad interdisciplinary practice joining art and architecture.
