Gelatin silver print mounted on board
11 x 14" on 20 x 24" board
© Mark Ruwedel | | | | | | | Large Glass | 26 April – 5 July 2019 | | | | | Large Glass is delighted to present the work of American photographer Mark Ruwedel and Italian photographer Cesare Fabbri.
Mark Ruwedel will show a series of photographs, which document the Los Angeles River. For over two decades, he has been photographing American deserts or the remains of abandoned railway lines in the western United States and Canada - epic places with evidence of human intervention. "His photographs of the channelized LA River, and of similar stretches of Californian hinterland, show a place overwritten by industry, irrigation, urban planning and abiding fantasies about authentic wilderness."
Mark Ruwedel was born in Bethlehem, PA, USA in 1954. He lives and works in Los Angeles. He has been Professor of Art at California State University, Long Beach since 2002. In 2014 he was awarded both a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Scotiabank Photography Award. He has had solo exhibitions at the Chinati Foundation, USA, Presentation House Gallery and Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Canada. His work is held in the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Photography, National Gallery of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (USA) and National Gallery of Canada, (CA) and Tate, London. | | | | | | | | | Cesare Fabbri

© Cesare Fabbri | | | | Cesare Fabbri’s landscapes of Sardegna, reveal the remains of ancient cultures amidst geographical features, still relatively undisturbed by industrialisation. "Here are ruins both geological – a brutal promontory juts out of an eroded landscape of softer rock – and man-made: a vast cube of quarried stone has the aspect of a classical temple." (Quotes from a short essay by Brian Dillon). | | | | | | | | | | Cesare Fabbri

| | | | Mark Ruwedel: "Dusk #96, 2014", 2014
Gelatin silver print mounted
8 x 10” on 16 x 20” board
© Mark Ruwedel | | | | | | Hannah Collins and Mark Ruwedel draw on the tension that lies between documentary and conceptual photography and both share a fascination with the influential American photographer Walker Evans.
Hannah Collins will exhibit a selection of black and white photographic studies of large-scale sculptures by African American artist Noah Purifoy, which are situated in the Mojave Desert. "As a traveller from another history and a different continent, when I came across Noah Purifoy’s sculptures spread across the desert, I felt like an explorer encountering the ruins from another time and place." (Hannah Collins)
Mark Ruwedel will show a selection of black and white "portraits" of abandoned houses in the desert area surrounding Los Angeles (coincidentally near Purifoy’s desert sculptures). "Hundreds of abandoned houses are scattered across Wonder Valley, which lies east of the town of Twentynine Palms. There are also many that are occupied, but the mystery of abandonment was what attracted me: the atmosphere of unseen violence and tragedy, of failure of an undisclosed nature."
