Rider University Art Gallery is set to present a photography exhibition titled “Landscape: Social, Political, Traditional”
The exhibition features works by photographers Josh Brilliant, Annie Hogan, Joshua Lutz and Wendel A. White.
Landscape is scheduled to run Sept. 18 through Oct. 12. An opening reception is set for 5 p.m. Sept. 18 and a program discussing the artists’ work for 7 p.m. Oct. 2.
The focus of the exhibit is landscape and how selected images presented in a very particular way can move the viewers’ ideas away from thinking about the landscape as a pastoral image.
