Outlandish: Contemporary Depictions of Nature
July 6 - September 4, 2011

Press Release

The Bedford Gallery wrapped up a memorable 2010–11 season with Outlandish: Contemporary Depictions of Nature — a two part exhibition that featured both a juried section and an invitational. Carrie Lederer, Bedford Gallery Curator of Exhibitions and Programs, invited twenty-eight contemporary artists that explore themes of nature — from micro to the macro — ranging from a tiny speck of a garden to a global view of the world. This intriguing exhibition looked at over-the-top depictions of landscape from a variety of vantage points and in a range of media.
