SuperNatural: Landscapes by Bruce Checefsky and Barry Underwood

Also an experimental filmmaker, Checefsky uses a flat-bed scanner as a field camera, aiming the scanner towards the flowers and foliage to create animated, lush images that appear to be traditional botanical studies or pastoral scenes except for the occasional scanning glitch, which blurs or distorts a part of the image. By staging temporary light installations in the landscape, Underwood similarly combines the effects of atmospheric light and his own light “interventions” to seemingly capture a secret happening—an unnatural moment in the natural world that he has chanced upon and recorded.

SuperNatural: Landscapes by Bruce Checefsky and Barry Underwood joins Michelle Droll: Landslide Between a Rock and a Place as a complement to the museum’s presentation of Landscapes from the Age of Impressionism, an exhibition of more than 50 impressionist paintings.
