Framing Space: Photography and Architecture

This exhibition explored the relationship between architecture and the photographic image, a perhaps unlikely pairing of two mediums that have become inextricably linked. On view were several works created from the mid 1930s through the 1970s depicting buildings and urban areas in various states of construction and destruction that explore the technique of framing as a methodology.

Photographic representation of architecture allows us to define and interpret structures in ways that were not possible before the invention of photography, These remarkable photographs, all from the permanent collection, remind us of the ways in which structures, frames, and outlines influence how we experience space and how we understand photographic compositions.
