Marlborough Chelsea's 'Landscapes' Exhibition Challenges Genre Conventions with Radical Juxtapositions

From June 23 to July 29, 2016, Marlborough Chelsea hosted the exhibition 'Landscapes' at 545 West 25th Street, New York. Curated by Nolan Simon and Jake Palmert, the exhibition examined how visual culture influences the dynamics between artists and their audiences. Featured works included Richard Estes's 'View of Nepal' (2010) and Ull Hohn's forest scenes from the 1990s. Nolan Simon also showcased 'Unisex Medium' (2016) and 'New Location' (2016). Additional artists in the show were Rackstraw Downes, Alex Katz, John Marin, John Miller, FLAME, Sylvia Pilmack Mangold, Keith Mayerson, Paul Thek, Mary Ann Aitken, John Kelsey, Mathew Cerletty, Jeanette Mundt, and Betty Tompkins, focusing on painting's challenges with subject matter and media imagery.
