The Overlooked Landscape

Buck Holzemer and Colin Kopp
July 18th – September 13th, 2008
The Overlooked Landscape brings together two photographers, each for his first extended exhibition. Their distinctive views of the landscape reflect the individual aesthetic each brings to the genre.

Buck Holzemer, with more than 25 years of commercial photography and video production experience, finds himself compelled to pursue his personal images on the road. In his first exhibition he presents spare but elegant compositions, devoid of people, that evoke the quiet solitude of travel. They also reveal the loneliness of the road, mitigated in Buck’s images by the photographer's contemplation and click of the shutter. Recent MCAD BFA graduate Colin Kopp found his new digs in Northeast Minneapolis reminiscent of his hometown Milwaukee. His portraits resemble peopled landscapes giving a feeling of distance and transience from brief encounters that are often part of the settling-in process.

Opening Reception: Friday July 18, 2008 from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm
Exhibition: Friday, July 18 – Saturday, September 13
