'Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape', featuring Lucy Raven at Carnegie Museum of Art, USA

30 July 2024

Until January 2025, the Carnegie Museum of Art presents 'Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape' featuring artist Lucy Raven among others. The exhibition examines environmental history and degradation, particularly in the American landscape, as well as urgent concerns about climate change, through the camera lens.

Featuring works by 19 different artists with multiple museum premieres and new commissions, this exhibition considers our relationship to the environment and how photography helps envision alternative paths forward. Lucy Raven's distinct and methodical practice combines an extended and interdisciplinary enquiry into the form, function and apparatus of the moving image – whether animated, digital, mechanical or cinematic – with an ongoing appreciation for the landscapes, labours and myths surrounding the American West.

'Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape' is organized by Dan Leers, curator of photography, with Keenan Saiz, Hillman Photography Initiative project curatorial assistant.
