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.
