Zoe Leonard is among the most influential artists of her
generation. Her work merges photography, sculpture, and
installation, balancing rigorous conceptualism with a distinctly
personal vision. Al Rio / To the River, initiated in 2016, is an
ambitious photographic project addressing the more than
one-thousand miles of river boundary shared by the United States
and Mexico. Leonard approaches the river, known as Rio Bravo in
Mexico and Rio Grande in the United States, as a multifaceted
leitmotif in which cultural, ecological, historical, social,
political and economic concerns intersect. Published in two
volumes, the first will feature Leonard’s photographs, while the
second will bring together written contributions from a remarkable
group of international artists, essayists, journalists, poets and
scholars. Conceived as an alternate form of circulation for the
work, the publication also provides an interdisciplinary reference
for people interested in the river, environmental issues,
borderlands culture and contemporary border issues. Writers: C.J.
