The
Museum of the South Dakota State Historical Society will host a special webcast
of the Smithsonian Institution’s American Art Museum’s program, “Landscapes in
Passing,” at 2 p.m. CST on Sunday, March 9, at the Cultural Heritage Center in
Pierre.
The
program, in the center’s education room, is hosted by The American Art Museum
and features a panel discussion led by Curator Lisa Hostetler, who will facilitate a
discussion about evocative images of the American Landscape with photographers Steve
Fitch, Robbert Flick and Elaine Mayes. The multimedia presentation will focus
on how all three photographers challenged traditional representations of the
American landscape beginning in the 1970s as they acknowledged the country's
increasingly mobile society.
There
is no fee to view the program, but standard admission fees apply for visitors
wanting to go into the museum galleries. “Landscapes in Passing” was originally
broadcast on Sept. 12, 2013, at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
“Photography
and history have long been joined in a variety of ways,” said Jay Smith,
director of the Museum of the State Historical Society. “We are especially
pleased to present this program from The American Art Museum that focuses on
landscape photography and how it has both changed over time and reflected an
evolving culture and society. Our audience will be inspired and entertained by
this topic.”
