About the Artists
Jason Weems is a co-curator of the exhibition and Associate Professor in Art History at the University of California Riverside where he specializes in American art and explores the intersections between art, sight and technology in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His first book, Barnstorming the Prairies: Aerial Vision and Modernity in Rural America, 1920-1940, traces the impact of aerial view-making on representations of the American Midwest. Other interests include the changing conceptualization of scale in American art and the scientific visualization and consideration of pattern in American landscape art.
Julie Shafer’s series Conquest of the Vertical is a series of 6’ pinhole negative images of remote Indigenous lands that were appropriated by executive order and altered by mining. She relinquished control so that the barren, stripped land, devastated by years of mining, could itself make a mark/trace and serve as evidence of an unknown history. Each of the photographs were developed on location, where sand, dust, and snowstorms all affected the chemistry and the surface of the paper, leaving a mark on the photo, just as one has been left on the land.
Out of Site: Survey Science and the Hidden West is among more than 70 exhibitions and programs presented as part of PST ART. Returning in September 2024 with its latest edition, PST ART: Art & Science Collide, this landmark regional event explores the intersections of art and science, both past and present. PST ART is presented by Getty. For more information about PST ART: Art & Science Collide, please visit: pst.art
