Composite Landscapes examines one of landscape architecture's most recognizable representational forms, the montage view. The exhibition gathers work from a select group of influential contemporary artists and a dozen of the world's leading landscape architects. These composite views reveal practices of photomontage depicting the conceptual, experiential, and temporal dimensions of landscape. The first exhibition of its kind in North America, Composite Landscapes illustrates the analog origins of a method now rendered ubiquitous through digital means. In revisiting the composite landscape view as a cultural form, Composite Landscapes illuminates the contemporary status of the photographically constructed image for the design disciplines, and beyond. Composite Landscapes: Photomontage and Landscape Architecture is curated by Charles Waldheim, Ruettgers Consulting Curator of Landscape with Assistant Curator Andrea Hansen.
