In the 1980s, photographer John Yang turned his lens toward Innisfree Garden, a distinctive landscape in Millbrook, New York, rooted in the mid-century aesthetics of Chinese garden design and American modernism. Yang’s black-and-white photographs capture the garden’s atmospheric qualities—mist rising from the lake, sculptural rock placements, and the quiet drama of shifting light. His images emphasize the meditative spirit of Innisfree while documenting the ways in which nature, architecture, and human intervention coalesce.
A visual artist, designer, and musician based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Naomi Yang will talk with curator James Voorhies about John Yang’s photographs of Innisfree and his contemplative approach to documenting landscape and architecture.
Conversations is a series of talks with artists, writers, and curators related to the work on view and themes explored in the exhibitions.
