We are happy to announce that the Los Angles County Museum of Art has acquired two works from Alex Turner’s project “Blind River” for the museum’s permanent collection.
Through collaborative research with University of Arizona wildlife biologists, Turner was able to photograph the single jaguar known to be living in the United States just north of the US/Mexico border. The work was included in the gallery’s recent exhibition, Into the Uncanny Valley, which curated three emerging artists whose projects question the boundaries of reality in an era of augmented and artificial digital technology.
This work was featured in our 2022 exhibition "The Intimacy of Distance: Explorations of the Figure/Ground" at Marshall Gallery curated by Douglas Marshall and Lawrence Gipe, and is now planned for inclusion in an exhibition related to the 2024 edition of PST ART: Art and Science Collide.
