Mixed Greens presents an exhibition of drawing, sculpture, and video by Joseph Smolinski. Relating to the environment and the power struggles between nature and technology, this new body of work marks the expansion of Smolinski’s focus. Over the past few years, Smolinski created a world in which cellular communication towers disguised as trees infiltrated the landscape. There, technology proved victorious through these hybrid forms. In the new works, Smolinski visualizes a turning of the tide, where animals and nature play more active roles in their fate.

"Staged and Startled" refers to the various processes artists use in achieving their final images including lighting, setting, equipment and planning, or conversely, deliberate eschewal of preparation. The opportunity to compare these works side by side reveals the individuality of the century’s most iconic photographers. The exhibition spans from the premeditated studio portraits of artists such as Richard Avedon and Irving Penn to the spontaneous street photographs of such masters as Robert Frank and Lee Friedlander and also includes work by Joel Sternfeld, Harry Callahan, Tina Barney, Lisette Model and Garry Winogrand.
