"Air Lines" - Photographs by Alex MacLean
PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM, SALEM, MA
May 14, 2005 – April 23, 2006
MacLean’s photographs tell the story of the American landscape and of the people who interact with it. The linear patterns in the images (roads, subdivisions, farmland--even parking lots and playgrounds) selected for Air Lines remind us of the continuing role of technology in shaping our lives and our land. They also remind us that human nature leaves indelible marks. In these grids, stripes, bars, and networks are irrefutable evidence of waste and materialism—as well as ingenuity, perseverance, and optimism. The exhibition will include 25 images selected from MacLean's collection. Click to see Pictures from the show)
