overview

One of the most compelling voices in contemporary photography, Alec Soth captures offbeat images that uncover narratives of the American experience. From Here to There: Alec Soth’s America, the artist’s first major traveling survey in the United States, will be on view at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art from September 13, 2014 through January 4, 2015. This exhibition, which was organized by the Walker Art Center in Soth’s hometown of Minneapolis, explores 15 years of Soth’s career, from 1995 to 2010. Featuring over 100 photographs, MMoCA’s presentation includes works ranging from the artist’s well-known and celebrated projects to rarely seen photographs dating to his early career, in addition to selections from his Madison-based Lothlorien Series.
