 Inspired by French philosopher Gaston Bachelard’s 1958 book La poétique de l’espace (The Poetics of Space), this exhibition features photographs that focus on the spatial dynamics of our architectural and natural surroundings. Some photographs, like Lynn Davis’s dramatic images of mountainous icebergs and dessert landscapes, illustrate the inspiring phenomenon of the natural world. And, the mysterious lives of interior spaces can be found in photographs by Julie Blackmon, William Clift, and Michael Eastman. Exhibition Artists: Julie Blackmon, William Christenberry, William Clift, Lynn Davis, Terry Evans, Walker Evans, Michael Eastman, Todd Hido, Richard Hodgman, Anthony Lepore, Joel Meyerowitz, Neeta Madahar, Nicholas Prior, Milton Rogovin, Mike Sinclair, Aaron Siskind, and Paul Strand Kansas City’s renowned free modern and contemporary art museum, the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art opened in 1994 and draws more than 120,000 visitors each year.
