Terri Loewenthal and Sally Martin Katz In Conversation

Wednesday November 15th, 6-8pm


Join us for a conversation with artist Terri Loewenthal and SFMOMA Curatorial Associate of Photography, Sally Martin Katz. Loewenthal and Katz will discuss the artist's new solo exhibition Mountain Goat Mountain currently on view at CULT Aimee Friberg in San Francisco.

Loewenthal's new body of work is a further evolution of her initial reckoning with the impact of Manifest Destiny and her perspective on the West as a female photographer. In this time of drastic impacts to the climate and our planet, Loewenthal pushed herself, both deeper into the remote landscape and deeper into her process. Using new techniques and handmade tools, she offers her audience the opportunity to look beyond the sublime into a space where awe culminates in a sense of connection and whole-ness, celebrating what it means to be a human in nature.

Loewenthal describes herself as an “astronaut of the human experience.” Her work addresses the parts of our lives and our world that are difficult to process by not only giving us the aerial view, but also a front row seat, to the ethereal. The photographs in Mountain Goat Mountain are a reminder of our temporary existence on this planet, of the trees that have been growing and the mountains that were formed long before we were here. Loewenthal’s feminist vision of the sublime does not wish to interfere with the otherness of the awesome. Instead, it seeks to look beyond the metaphors of the sacred and the holy, to create a closer connection with our appreciation of Earth’s beauty.
