WEXNER CENTER OFFERS NEW EXHIBIT PLUS SYMPOSIUM--May 10, 16.
Viewing Olmsted: Photographs by Robert Burley, Lee Friedlander,
and Geoffrey James is a collection of 150 photographs of
landscapes designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903).
Olmsted is credited with shaping much of the public landscape of
North America in the 19th century, including parks, estates,
campuses and communities.  His ideas continue to resonate today
in park design, urban planning, and ecology.  In conjunction with
the exhibit, the Wexner Center will hold a symposium Shifting
Ground: Frederick Law Olmsted and the Changing Landscape of
Public Space, in the Film/Video Theatre, May 16, 2-5 p.m.
CONTACT: Darnell Lautt, Wexner Center, 292-0330.
