Presented by Dana Fritz, Hixson-Lied Professor of Art, School of Art, Art History & Design | University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Dana Fritz will share photographs from her new book and exhibition, Field Guide to a Hybrid Landscape. Over five years she visited, photographed, and researched the forest and tree nursery as well as the history and ideas that drove what was once the world’s largest hand-planted forest. This fascinating and little-known story is especially relevant to our current challenges with climate chaos and biodiversity collapse.
Biographical Sketch
Dana Fritz, Hixson-Lied Professor of Art at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, uses photography to investigate the ways we shape and represent the natural world in cultivated and constructed landscapes. Her work has been exhibited, published, and collected internationally. She is the author of Terraria Gigantica: The World under Glass (University of New Mexico Press, 2017) and Field Guide to a Hybrid Landscape (forthcoming from University of Nebraska Press in January 2023.) Coinciding with this book is an exhibition of her photographs from Nebraska’s hand-planted forest at UNL’s Great Plains Art Museum September 2, 2022 - March 11, 2023.
