La Defense and Seine Arche have chosen to highlight the work of Alex MacLean, in the framework of the theme of the Venice Architecture Biennale: "People meet in architecture". Alex's aerial photographs of La Defense, Seine Arche, and the historical axis leading from the Louvre focus on the close relationship between the city's royal core and the modern urban architecture nearby. The exhibition will be open from August 29th to September 19th, 2010, every day from 2:00 to 8:00 PM (except September 2nd, 7th, and 14th).

Return of Landscape

March 13 - May 30, 2010

Academy of Art, Berlin

The Akademie der K�nste (Academy of Art) in Berlin is hosting a large, interdisciplinary exhibition entitled Return of Landscape (Wiederkehr der Landschaft), which opens on March 12 and will be accompanied by numerous events.

Among other topics, the exhibition aims to compare and contrast the world's two most artificial cities: Las Vegas and Venice. Even though their surrounding environment and histories could hardly be more different, both cities are struggling with similar ecological problems, including urban sprawl, air pollution, and water shortage.

For more information, please visit the Academy of Art website.

Alex has been honored with the World of Pictures Award for OVER: The American Landscape at the Tipping Point by the CORINE International Book Award. Please visit CORINE's website for more information.
