Forest Lawn Museum Director James Fishburne’s inaugural exhibition
as director marks the Grand Reopening of the newly remodeled Forest
Lawn Museum. Science and technology meet art and beauty in The
ELEVATED EYE: AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY PAST AND PRESENT, an exhibition
tracing the history of AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY, from its origins in the
nineteenth century to the boundary-pushing technologies of the
twenty-first century, as well as the medium’s parallel progression
with flight and the development of Southern California over the course
of more than a century. The exhibition brings together nearly 150
images along with video, satellite models, and drones from preeminent
collections, including Getty Research Institute; Huntington Library,
Art Collections and Botanical Gardens; and the Special Collections of
Los Angeles Public Library. It includes photographs from Forest Lawn
Museum’s permanent collection that have never been displayed
publicly as well as work by contemporary artists David Maisel, a 2018
Guggenheim Fellow in the Creative Arts; Jenny Odell, a
multi-disciplinary artist and writer; and photographer Lane Barden,
whose work traces major corridors of Los Angeles from above. The
exhibition includes more than twenty images and mesmerizing video
footage by the drone pilot and photographer Chen Ming. Moving beyond
the stratosphere, The ELEVATED EYE FEATURES HISTORICAL IMAGES FROM
NASA AS WELL AS THE WORK OF ERWAN RIVAULT (@earthfromsatellites), a
French geographer who uses data from European Space Agency satellites
to create stunning images of natural wonders on Earth’s surface.
With some of the most captivating work from Southern California’s
premiere collections and diverse content focused on a single theme,
