Monday, July 13, 5 – 7 – Landscapes: Urban & Rural
The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University presents a photographic exhibit July 13 – August 6, 2009, with an opening reception Monday, July 14, from 5 – 7 pm.
By forcing the photographer to impose limits and provide visual meaning to what amounts to a pre-drawn canvas, the photograph has the possibility of communicating a personal vision, revealing lines and relationships previously hidden. Roger Cody will exhibit a collection of landscapes that provide an opportunity to see the familiar and ordinary as something more. The locales are diverse, but the collection of images is united by a commonality of artifice—the transformations used to make the impersonal and chaotic, personal and meaningful.
Location: The Landscape Institute, 30 Chauncy Street, Cambridge, MA. For more information, log on to www.arboretum.harvard.edu.
