Tracing the impacts of militarism on the American landscape,
through the lens of art, environmental studies, and politics Devour
the Land considers how contemporary photographers have responded to
the US military's impact on the domestic environment since the
1970s, a dynamic period for environmental activism as well as for
photography. This catalogue presents a lively range of voices at
the intersection of art, environmentalism, militarism, photography,
and politics. Alongside interviews with prominent contemporary
artists working in the landscape photography tradition, the images
speak to photographers' varied motivations, personal experiences,
and artistic approaches. The result is a surprising picture of the
ways violence and warfare surround us. Although most modern combat
has taken place abroad, the US domestic landscape bears the
footprint of armed conflict-much of the environmental damage we
live with today was caused by our own military and the expansive
network of industries supporting its work. Designed to evoke a
field book and to nod toward ephemera produced by earlier artists
and activists, the catalogue features works by dozens of
photographers, including Ansel Adams, Robert Adams, Dorothy Marder,
Alex Webb, Terry Evans, and many more. Distributed for the Harvard
Art Museums Exhibition Schedule: Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, MA
