Dan VanLandingham Opening (June 23, 2012)

The treatment of space both culturally and physically is one of the greatest human experiences taken for granted. Spaces are transformed by those who inhabit them. It is for this reason that the American Landscape today has been so greatly abused. What we are left with are the physical remains of an ongoing struggle for power. These Landscrapes serve as a common ground between distressed and sublime spaces at the mercy of human encroachment.

Because there is no hierarchy, the spaces become both timeless and banal. Within the world of pictures, I’m able to create a harmony between forces in opposition. Picture making allows me to become the authoritative figure and neutralize any imbalance or contradiction within the space, thus creating what I refer to as an option rather than a solution.
