"In their ongoing interdisciplinary work, exhibited for the first time, the artists of Unseen California respond to the role photography has played in defining attitudes toward the iconic Western landscape by its omission of multi-valent histories embedded in the land. The dominant canon of American landscape photography is inextricable from a colonial orientation to the land and its resources: from the photographic surveys of the 19th century, to the "untouched" vistas depicted in the 20th century, and later the encroaching sprawl of the built environment documented in New Topographics. Rather, the artists here propose new epistemologies and ways of belonging."--Exhibit website, https://www.penumbrafoundation.org/project-gallery-current
