Description
Artist and geographer Trevor Paglen looks to the past in an effort to define what modern abstract art actually is. An illustrator, sculptor and photographer Paglen is not afraid to stir up the pot. He has photographed predator drones, a secret CIA prison and has created a sculpture made of irradiated glass from Fukushima and Trinitite, a mineral forged during the first U.S. atomic in New Mexico. Paglen's haunting 2010 piece, Time Study, will be displayed alongside the work of other 19th and 20th century photography pioneers from the Cantor’s collection. (VS)
