SOO SUNNY PARK: VAPOR SLIDE
NOVEMBER 17, 2012 THROUGH MARCH 17 2 013
"From Here to There: Alec Soth's America," is the first major U.S. survey to explore the past
15 years of work by one of the most compelling voices in contemporary photography, artist
Alec Soth. Featuring over 100 photographs, the exhibition includes a new body of work
that is the result of a road trip the artist took across Michigan in the weeks leading up to
the presidential election in November. "Alec Soth's America" is organized by the Walker Art
Center, Minneapolis.
Soo Sunny Park's large-scale installation SSVT (South Strafford, Vermont) Vapor Slide (2007),
is the artist's response to the undulating, snowy hills of South Strafford, Vermont. This
exhibition inaugurates a new series of one-person exhibitions that will showcase the work
of Academy alumni.
FROM HERE TO THERE: ALEC
SOTH'S AMERICA
