SUSAN RESSLER: EXECUTIVE ORDER Images of 1970s Corporate America
OCTOBER 5 – NOVEMBER 30, 2018

RECEPTION WITH THE ARTIST: OCTOBER 20, 5-8PM

“For more than 40 years, Susan Ressler has been photographing affluence in America — in particular, the power relations that inhere in corporate and consumer culture. In Executive Order, Ressler invites us to examine the executive boardrooms, private offices, and lobbies of businesses that became especially prominent during the 1970s in downtown Los Angeles and other urban environments in the Mountain West. Ressler’s images provide a fascinating critique of corporate America during this period of explosive growth when profits were increasingly preempting people. Her work, which has an undercurrent of cool detachment coupled with a dose of irony, combines images devoid of people allowing us to see the hollowness of these modern work spaces, with portraits of employees playing the typical roles assigned to them in the new American economy.”
