The landscape remains an alluring subject for photographers - and the approaches that emerge are as diverse as the natural and human history they encounter along the way. This month, Jem Southam presents a new series at Robert Mann Gallery in New York while simultaneously opening a reprise of his acclaimed Upton Pyne project at the Davis Museum in Wellesley, MA.

Human encroachment on wilderness edges is the subject of Amy Stein's Domesticated, at Paul Kopeikin Gallery in San Francisco. At Chicago's Catherine Edelman Gallery, Michael Kenna's mysterious views of Mont St. Michel evoke the very atmosphere where land and water meet. At The New School, the continuing influence of Robert Adams' seminal work, The New West, will be the subject of an in-depth panel discussion. And that's just a preview of what's on in March. Please check links for details.
