Mark Klett: Ideas About Time
The idea of returning to a place to encapsulate change over time is central
to Klett's work. It is an elliptical commentary on ecological change, but
also a melancholy observation on mutability and human intrusion. The exhibition
will include works from throughout Klett's career that reflect on the ways
in which time can be shaped and redefined.
