Jan Staller: Exhibition Opening
Images from his published monographs, Frontier New York, On Planet Earth, and Travels in an Unfamiliar Land, will be exhibited in the Joseph Clayes III Gallery in the Athenaeum.
These photographs depict the urban and industrial landscapes in Greater New York from the late 1970s through the 1990s, as well as those from travels to places as distant as Asia and as near as New Jersey. Selected from more than 30 years of work, these works plot the range of his interests while demonstrating a consistent investigation of the expressive possibilities of the photographic medium.
Staller’s philosophy and process will be examined in a documentary film currently in production by independent filmmaker Dale Schierholt. The film will be screened at the Athenaeum in conjunction with the show.
