Gallery Talk August 10
Here and Abroad includes Taylor's full portfolio of monument photographs, installed in numerical order, to form a grid. It also features thirty recent photographs that complement and expand upon the artist’s documentation of the border.

"Wish You Were Here" Lecture SeriesFrontier/Frontera: Border as Place
6pm, Thursday, June 7, 2012
David Taylor’s work reveals the Mexico/U.S. border as a complex, and often contradictory, social, political, and physical topography. His photographic examination is anchored by an ongoing effort to document each of the 276 obelisks that dot the boundary from Juarez/El Paso to Tijuana/San Diego.
All “Wish You Were Here” lectures are in the Dryden Theater at George Eastman House. Admission to each lecture is $6 (free to Eastman House members).
Past, Present, Future: Michael Berman, David Taylor, and Connie Samaras
New Mexico Museum of Art
Curated by Merry Scully
Michael P. Berman, David Taylor and Connie Samaras have all lived and worked in New Mexico and their photographs in this exhibit concentrate on the landscape in and surrounding Southern New Mexico. Their diversity of approach results in three unique and layered sets of images of our desert terrain. This arid land captures time in a fashion that is at once biological, political and hypothetical. A condensation of time is so broad that its only rival for breadth is the sprawl of the site itself. Each of these photographers presents us with a desert landscape that is simultaneously of the present, reflecting the past and hinting at the future.
Silent Sentinels Along a Vast Frontier
From the NY Times Lens Blog:
By Jennifer Hamblet
The frontier is subject and studio for Mr. Taylor, who lives in Las Cruces, N.M., not far from the sister cities of El Paso, Tex., and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. In the course of his broad exploration of border issues, he set out to photograph 276 obelisk monuments, most erected in the 1890s, that demarcate the international boundary west of El Paso (more at NYTimes.com).
