Lisa K. Blatt Untitled (heatscape) 2016
Approx 8" x 10" print - unframed
Lisa K. Blatt often works in extreme landscapes examining site, sight, pop culture and social and political issues.
For her art, she has survived a Condition One storm trapped in a tent for 6 nights on top of a live volcano in Antarctica and camped with international scientists, including from NASA, for a month, at the driest desert in the world in Chile.
Blatt's art has been exhibited widely internationally, including in the Shanghai Biennial, China, the Havana Biennial, Cuba, Museo de Tigre, Argentina, Reykjavik Museum of Photography, Iceland (solo), Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Contemporary Art Platform, London, Kunstverein Haus, Germany, Wexner Center, Asian Art Museum and Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco, CA, Bellingham National Museum, Santa Cruz Museum, Phillips Museum, DC, and Sean Kelly in New York.
Cindy Sherman chose and wrote about Blatt, when asked which one photographer Sherman thought was doing groundbreaking work (Smithsonian Magazine (March 2012)). In 2018, Sandra S. Phillips, Photo Curator Emerita at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, nominated Blatt for both the MACK First Book Award (London) and the Gardner prize (Harvard).
Her art is in public and private collections, including the Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art (LACMA).
