Abstract or Description: | Lovely View - A Group Exhibition at Way Out East, London. Despite its own fabricated construction, landscape functions as a marker of the ‘natural’ and the anthesis of the ‘unnatural’. Wrapped up in a symbiotic relationship with Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the Romantics’ obsession with a ‘return to nature’, this exhibition explores how landscape maps onto and continues to shape visual culture; exploring its semi-ironic appropriation in nostalgic online memes and the resurgent interest in pastoral mythology, its exploitation for touristic purposes, its ever-evolving role in ecological concerns, and its iconographic form in tracing the relationship between nature and artifice. |
