An Evening with Justine Kurland

Justine Kurland is an artist known for her utopian photographs of American landscapes and the alternative communities, both real and imagined, that inhabit it. Her early work comprises photographs taken during many cross-country road trips that counter the masculinist mythology of the American landscape, offering a radical female imaginary in its place. Her recent series of collages SCUMB Manifesto continues to make space for women by transforming books by canonized male photographers through destruction and reparation. Kurland’s work has been exhibited at museums and galleries in the United States and abroad. Her work is included in permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Carnegie Museum, Getty Museum, Jewish Museum in New York; National Gallery of Art, Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
