Jade Doskow, a New York-based architectural and landscape photographer, will have an art exhibition, colloquium lecture, and reception later this month.
Doskow is a New York-based architectural and landscape photographer known for her rigorously composed and eerily poetic images that examine the intersection of people, architecture, nature, and time. Doskow is best known for her work Freshkills, Lost Utopias, and Red Hook.
The exhibition will run from October 10 to November 4, 2022, in the John Hartell Gallery in Sibley Dome. It will elevate the importance of public imagination related to circularity, land use, and waste and feature Doskow’s art exhibition that focuses on the transformation of what was once the largest household waste dump on Earth into a massive urban park.
Doskow’s CRP Colloquium lecture is on October 14, 2022, at 12:25 pm in Abby and Howard Millstein Auditorium in Milstein Hall. Her lecture, centered around the conversation of Fresh Kills Landfill to Fresh Kills Park, offers a compelling view of how visionary urban planners can take a landscape that has been destroyed and resurrect it, transforming the garbage of the U.S.’s most populous city and creating grasslands replete with rare species of flora and fauna and waterways once again attracting marine life. Doskow’s work asks: if 2,200 acres of New York City’s household waste can be transformed into glorious meadowlands and woodlands, what else is possible?
There will be a Reception open to the public in the John Hartell Gallery at Sibley Dome on October 14, 2022, at 5:00 pm.
These events are Organized by the Just Places Lab with support from the Clarence S. Stein Institute for Urban and Landscape Studies, Cornell Council for the Arts, and the Department of City and Regional Planning.
