Edward Goldman Reviews Uta Barth Exhibition on KCRW's Art Talk
 




"If you care to see another poetic presentation of images chosen seemingly at random, treat yourself to an exquisite exhibition of photographs by LA-based artist Uta Barth at Gallery 1301 PE. Along with older, never seen before, small black and white images, she shows large new color diptychs and triptychs, but in the thirty years that separates these bodies of work, the essence of her vision remains the same: she directs our attention to spaces and objects at the edge of our perception which makes for a surprisingly satisfying aesthetic encounter.

So whether it's a mere glimpse of her feet observed from above, or the branch of a blossoming tree shot from below, you find yourself basking in the beauty and ambiguity of seemingly randomly juxtaposed images, trying to resolve the mystery of their coexistence."
