Have you ever stood atop a hill gazing
out over an ash grove of a field splotched
with red sumac and just wished the view
would last forever? Through the miracle
of modern landscape photography, it
can.
An exhibit of the photography of Robert
Glenn Ketchum, scheduled to open Oct.
30 at Sheldon Art Gallery, look3 at land
scapes a little differently than its prede
cessors have.
Ketchum's work tends to be a little
abstract or even expressionistic. His photo
graphs, unlike traditional landscapes,
have no sense of dimension; they all
appear to be sort of flat.
"He (Ketchum) is considered to be one
of the new, young contemporary photo
graphers exploiting the New American
Landscape " Sheldon curator of photo
graphy Anthony Montoya said. "In con
trast to old romantic landscape, it deals
with more intellectual things . . . They've
learned from the old traditionalists and
they're taking it one step further."
The photographs in this exhibition are
very large Cibachrome color prints from
the "Order From Chaos" series, and very
small black and white photographs for
the "Winters" series.
The large (30 inch by 40 inch) prints
are "flashy, with seductive, vivid, brilliant
colors," Montoya said.
"From a distance, you get the idea of an
abstract painting, but up close you can
see a lot of detail," he said.
Mixed in with the large color prints are
5-by-7 inch black and white photographs,
many of which were taken during "white
out" snowstorms. Montoya said the' pho
tographs have expansive areas of white
tones with black seeping out, and very
little grey.
Ketchum likes to show the Winters"
and "Order From Chaos" photographs
together, according to Montoya; the bright
colors of the large prints and the whites
of the smaller photographs complement
each other well.
The exhibition will be on display
through Nov. 25.
Depeche Mode steps up
with romance, controversy '
Review by Stephanie Zink
Daily Nebrme&an Staff Eejsorter
Depeche Mode's new album Come Great
Reward (Mute-import) is a well put
together low-key product containing the
band's many different styles throughout
its short career as one of the most innov
ative of the English synth bands.
On Some Great Reward, Depeche Mode
steps up to something a little political, a
little controversial, and very much roman
tic. This was the same attitude they took
with A Broken Frame but they do this to
a greater extent with this album. For the
first time, Depeche Mode has done songs
about sex and religion (although luckily
not in the same song).
"Master and Servant," already a top ten
single in England, is completely different
from anything the group has done before.
The song has a fast beat and has fun, racy
lyrics -- "You treat me like a dog, get me
down on my knees." Definitely not typical
to anything anyone has done before.
Also unique to this album is that
Depeche Mode uses many strange sound
ing electronic instruments. They also com
bine the best of their three previous stu
dio albums and the interesting editing
techniques of their greatest hits album.
Some Great Reward combines the care
free fun of Speak and Spell, the melan
choly of A Broken Frame and the
extreme political viewpoints of Construc
tion Time Again to produce the best
album of their careers and possibly pav
ing the way toward the future and better
things.
