Trevor Paglen: Impossible Objects

Mar 15 - May 5, 2018
Overview

Altman Siegel is pleased to present Impossible Objects, Trevor Paglen's fourth solo exhibition at the gallery. Presenting new sculptures, photographs and works on paper, Impossible Objects offers multiple takes on the history of spaceflight, from the utopian visions of late 19th Century Russian "Cosmists," to present-day military and surveillance apparatuses. In his investigation of the role images play in structuring geography and power, Paglen draws attention to our surrounding landscape, offering a reconsideration of our fraught relationship to the environment and technology.
