RAY MORTENSON: MEADOWLAND Vintage Prints 1979-1980
September 15 – November 26, 2016
Ray Mortenson (b. 1944) has been exploring industrial zones, isolated natural areas, and neglected urban neighborhoods along the metropolitan corridor of the United States’ Northeast since the late 1970s. In this early project, spanning 10 months from 1979-1980, Mortenson surveyed the 8,000+ acre marshland located in New Jersey a few miles from New York City. Produced during a vibrant period in American photography, following the landmark New Topographics exhibition at the George Eastman House and just prior to John Szarkowski’s American Landscapes exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, this project offers an unguided tour of a borderland which, for over a hundred years, has straddled the complex co-existence of nature and industry.
