¹ Rebecca Solnit, The Faraway Nearby (New York: Viking, 2013), 108. In naming the show, we echo the title of Solnit’s 2013 book. Solnit’s title in turn references Georgia O’Keeffe’s letters to loved ones following her move from New York to rural New Mexico, which the artist signed, “From the faraway nearby.” We’re interested in the collapsible, mutable, and personal experience of place that O’Keeffe’s poetic sign-off suggests. The quotation cited above illustrates Solnit’s interpretation of the artist’s intentional phrasing. Lucy Lippard’s The Lure of the Local and Miwon Kwon’s One Place After Another also shaped our thinking while putting together this exhibition.
