In Oblivious to Place, David Lefkowitz explores the uneven development of architecture in the landscape. There are multiple ways to understand architectural design such as the discussions of a period, a region's style, a client's particular taste or an architect's philosophy. In each case, decisions are made about how to manipulate a landscape. The installation of Lefkowitz's architectural images represent the unpredictable direction development can take as well as the historical overlaps and juxtapositions they represent. Lefkowitz suggests the uniform nature of contemporary architecture and landscape design in his images. He calls attention to how planned communities seem authoritarian and disconnected. His work creates discussion with the exhibition showing in Cheekwood's Museum of Art, A Genius for Place: American Landscapes of the Country Place Era, contrasting the 19th century picturesque landscape architecture with contemporary urban design issues. Oblivious to Place will be on display through December 30. David Lefkowitz was raised in Nashville. He currently lives in Minnesota and teaches art at Carlton College. He has had solo exhibitions at Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Nash Gallery at the University of Minnesota, the ARC Gallery in Chicago, and at DCKT Contemporary in New York.
