Episode No. 430 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artists Alison Rossiter and David Maisel.
Rossiter is featured in “Unseen: 35 Years of Collecting Photographs” at the J. Paul Getty Museum. The exhibition shares photographs from the Getty’s rich collection that have never been shown at the museum, including many Rossiters. The exhibition is organized by Jim Ganz in collaboration with Mazie Harris, Virginia Heckert, Karen Hellman, Arpad Kovacs, Amanda Maddox, and Paul Martineau. It’s on view through March 8.
On March 6, Yossi Milo Gallery in New York will debut new Rossiters in “Substance of Density.” It will remain on view through April 25.
In just the last couple years, Rossiter has been featured in group exhibitions at the George Eastman Museum, the National Gallery of Canada, the High Museum of Art, the McEvoy Foundation for the Arts, the New York Public Library, the Tate Modern, the Denver Art Museum, the Musee de l’ELysee and Lausanne and the Centre for COntemporary Photography, Melbourne. In 2017 Radius published “Alison Rossiter: Expired Paper.” Amazon offers it for $40.
On the second segment, Maisel discusses his new book “Proving Ground.” The book presents aerial and on-site photographs made at Dugway Proving Ground, a military facility covering nearly 800,000 acres south of Salt Lake City. The U.S. government uses Dugway to develop, test and implement chemical and biological weaponry and related defense programs. The book is an extended meditation on land use in the American West, secrecy, and the dangers present in that which we can and cannot see. MAN Podcast host Tyler Green wrote an essay for the book. It was published by Radius. Amazon lists it for $65.
Maisel’s upcoming exhibitions include “The Expanded Field” at New York’s Edwynn Houk Gallery opening March 28; and “Desolation Desert” at San Francisco’s Haines Gallery opening April 16.
