About the exhibition: On the 150th anniversary of the Pacific Railway Act, The Permanent Way considers the impact of railroads on the American landscape. It blends recent photographs by living artists with archival material charting the 19th-century expansion of railroads. The photographers in this exhibition are not concerned exclusively with railroads, or even with American landscapes. Nonetheless, they are sensitive interpreters of their environment, and each has at some point noticed the continuing power and imaginative pull of railroads—or of their ruins. Brian Sholis is a PhD candidate in the department of history at the CUNY Graduate Center. From 2004 to 2009, he was an editor at Artforum, and is co-editor of an anthology of essays on art and American politics titled The Uncertain States of America Reader (Sternberg Press, 2006). He has written reviews and essays for numerous museum catalogs, artist monographs, and periodicals. |
