Lynn Saville
| Lynn Saville: Dark City, Urban America at Night Lynn Saville's Dark City photographs illustrate her exploration of urban America between dusk and dawn. In this series, she focuses on evocative spaces that are generally devoid of people. Vacant buildings, shuttered storefronts, and empty streets are the ostensible subjects of her pictures, but the natural cycle of decay and rebirth in urban ecology is at the heart of each of her landscapes of downtowns after dark from New York to Los Angeles. |
Into the Night: Modern and Contemporary Art and the Nocturne Tradition
Into the Night: Modern and Contemporary Art and the Nocturne Tradition examines the long tradition of the nocturne in art and how that tradition has expanded to encompass various ways that contemporary artists consider the enigmatic notion of the night. This exhibition is comprised of paintings, photographs, and works on paper that investigate the psychological concepts of darkness, the dreamscape and its connection to the night, and the inter-connectedness of the environment with cultural and artistic discourse.
Work by Lynn Saville is featured in PHOTO ID, a group exhibition at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History, on display through July 7. The exhibition of photographs explores the theme of identity through the lens of self, society, and gender.
The Space in Between, an exhibition featuring the work of Lynn Saville, was recently on display at the Photographic Resource Center at Boston University, and is now on view at the Atlantic Wharf's Waterfront Square Gallery in Boston through March 22, 2013.
Lynn Saville's first monograph Night|Shift: Photographs by Lynn Saville, published by The Monacelli Press, was released in May 2009.
