Black Maps is the first in-depth survey of the major aerial
projects by David Maisel, whose images of radically altered terrain
have transformed the practice of contemporary landscape
photography. In more than 100 photos that span Maisel's career,
Black Maps presents a hallucinatory worldview encompassing both
stark documentary and tragic metaphor, and exploring the
relationship between nature and humanity today. Maisel's images of
environmentally impacted sites consider the aesthetics of open pit
mines, clear-cut forests, rampant urbanization and sprawl, and
zones of water reclamation. These surreal and disquieting photos
take us towards the margins of the unknown and as the Los Angeles
Times has stated, "argue for an expanded definition of beauty, one
that bypasses glamour to encompass the damaged, the transmuted, the
decomposed." David Maisel was born in New York in 1961. His
photographs have been exhibited internationally, and are included
in many permanent collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of
Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the
Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Maisel was a scholar in
residence at the Getty Research Institute in 2007, an artist in
residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts in 2008, and a
recipient of an individual artist's grant from the National
Endowment for the Arts. He is a trustee of the Headlands Center for
the Arts.
