Description
Suburban Escape: The Art of California Sprawl will be the first comprehensive look at a unique genre of suburban art created in California since 1950. The publication will survey the work of approximately thirty artists who have devoted a significant portion of their careers to the examination of suburban culture—including suburban development, tract home architecture, home construction, and land use in California. The interdisciplinary scope of the project — spanning the fields of art history, architecture, history, geography, environmental studies, suburban studies, and urban planning — assures broad appeal among both scholars and the general public.Some of the artists in the exhibition include: Lewis Baltz, Jeff Brouws, Angela Buenning, Darlene Campbell, Fandra Chang, Stéphane Couturier, William Garnett, Jeff Gillette, Todd Hido, Solomon Huerta, Robert Isaacs, Bill Owens, John Register, Mary Snowden, Joel Sternfeld, and Larry Sultan.
