A new exhibit at the Power Plant Gallery, Deborah Stratman: Speculative Terrains, examines both rural and urban landscapes through lenses of history, science, and mythology. The show features a range of work—photography, video, and installation—by the award-winning artist and filmmaker that explores how places, ideas, and the undercurrents of society are intertwined. Stratman will be a visiting scholar with Duke’s MFA in Experimental and Documentary Arts program in early February, where she will provide feedback to current students’ work through individual studio visits and other events.
Deborah Stratman: Speculative Terrains On view through February 28, 2014. For more information on the exhibition, contact powerplantgallery@duke.edu.
