The BYU Museum of Art and the Department of Visual Arts is thrilled to welcome Walead Beshty to the Museum this Thursday, March 1, at 6pm. Be sure to arrive early, this promises to be an excellent experience and seats will fill up quickly. '... brings together images of ambiguous places, altering them, and exhibiting them as documentation. Beshty invites the viewer into a surrogate of a place that, though real, by legal definition does not exist. This tenuous link between what is authentic and what is reproduced parallels the medium of photography itself, which captures moments in time that our eyes are trained to believe truly occurred. Beshty's work offers us a chance to experience the sense of uncertainty that this place engenders, lying unsteadily on a line between past and present, fact and fiction, day and night.' Hammer Museum, 2006. Beshty earned a Bachelor of Arts from Bard College in 1999, and a Master of Fine Arts from Yale University School of Art in 2002. His first solo exhibition debuted in New York in 2004 where he 'quickly captured the attention of the international art world with his probing meditations on political and social conditions.'
