It’s a fitting solution for a show inspired by the timeless landscapes of the American West: The works improvise with the horizon line for instance, in a painting of billowing clouds plastered on a billboard or a photograph blown up and wheat-pasted to the side of a desert hut in the Navajo Nation.
