Exhibition details
Artist Gregory Thielker collaborated with anthropologist Noah Coburn to create a complex portrait of Afghanistan today. Featuring a thirty-five foot long panoramic painting of Shomali Plain north of Kabul as well as smaller paintings, photographs, text, and video, the exhibition takes stock of the present political and social upheaval in Afghanistan. In the panorama installation, dramatic mountains and lush fields contrast with barbed wire and concrete of the base, creating a representation of the fractured political and social lives of the people near Bagram.
