Doug Hall: In Finite Spaces
August 21 - September 29, 2003

In Finite Spaces is a selection of fifteen large color photographs by California artist Doug Hall. Hall achieved considerable success in the 1970s and 80s as a videographer, but since 1990 he has also pursued large-format color photography. His subjects are primarily interiors and landscapes. This exhibition includes images from Brazil, Vietnam, Italy, Japan, California, and China. Strongly influenced by 20th century critical theory, he is concerned with the issues surrounding the spread of mass culture and bourgeois society. The images may be taken as commentaries on globalization, urban spectacle, and social ordering.
