Summary:
"The great wide open" focuses on photographic concepts of the "panoramic," or the wide-angled view, tracing how this specific form of visual representation amplified the idea of the American West as a supposedly virgin and sparsely populated land of endless resources, and an ideal landscape for American enterprise.

Summary:
The photographs of Angela Grauerholz (born 1952) are filled with people, glimpses of public and private interiors, and ethereal rural and urban landscapes. Their out-of-focus quality transforms them into a stream of consciousness—“a representation of our experience: a continuous prodding into something that escapes us continuously.”
