Peripheral Vision November 21, 2010 February 6, 2011
Peripheral Vision New Work by Bremner Benedict and David Politzer features the work of two artists who have participated in the MNA Artist-in-Residence program. Each artist spent three weeks at the Museum in 2009, exploring the area around Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon, and the southern Colorado Plateau to create their unique, and perhaps unexpected, work for this exhibit.

Despite their different styles and artistic attitudes, photographer Bremner Benedict and videographer David Politzer offer postmodern perspectives that avoid the more often seen romanticized images of this region.
