Lewis Baltz in conversation with

摘要

Beginning in the late 1960s, Lewis Baltz (1945-2014) occupied a singular but complex position within art, architecture and photography. While his work always showed a modernist commitment to the camera's powers of visual description, what interested Baltz was the growing tension between the seeable and the knowable. What does it mean when the surface of the world obscures meaning? How do we relate to an architecture that ceases to communicate? Baltz's serial photographic works, videos and site-specific installations dramatise this rupture in differing ways.
