Contemporary Culture: Photographs by Erik Schubert and Brian Kaplan

Panopticon Gallery is pleased to be exhibiting photographs by Erik Schubert and Brian Kaplan, two emerging photographers with ties to New England. In the exhibition, Contemporary Culture, Schubert and Kaplan tackle two very different regions of the United States. Schubert has been actively photographing the landscape of the west, examining how manifest destiny has shaped this region, leaving in its wake a place where culture continues to prevail and how their identity owes itself to past explorers. Kaplan's counterbalance is photographs that focus on the northeast, specifically what he refers to as America’s consumption-driven culture and its relationship with the natural world.
