Walead Beshty: Natural Histories

0/5 ( ratings)

Moments spent in elevators, check-ins at airports, subway rides--these are all examples of the kind of "in-between" time that fascinates Walead Beshty and supplies so much of the material for his photographs. "In-between time" applies to civic space, too--depopulated modernist housing developments that sit precariously between evacuation and demolition , plants, weeds and vegetation on isolated highway medians , or abandoned shopping malls . More recently, Beshty's adventures in "the in-between" have become a means of production, as he makes creative use of such mundane procedures as air travel or sending a package. This monograph presents a ten-year overview of Walead Beshty's approach to photographic and sculptural representation, and contains newly commissioned essays by Suzanne Hudson and Nicolas Bourriaud, as well as a conversation between Bob Nickas and Beshty.
