Wilhelm Neusser’s atmospheric paintings explore how land continues to register the sublime—not as heroic grandeur, but as a fragile, shifting presence shaped by ecological uncertainty and perceptual complexity.
Originally from Cologne and now based in Somerville, Massachusetts, Neusser’s paintings draw from both memory and imagination instigating reflection on how beauty, landscape, and time interweave in an era of environmental change.
Neusser will be in conversation with James Voorhies, founder of Spritz3000 and curator of Relational Landscapes.

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.

Josephine Halvorson’s commitment to direct observation profoundly shapes her paintings, resulting in works infused with a palpable sense of the immediacy of time spent in place. Working primarily in painting, she often creates her works on-site, spending extended time in direct observation of the world around her. Halvorson’s landscapes are not sweeping vistas but grounded, attentive renderings of specific places—rock formations, culverts, frost-covered fields—each imbued with the nuances of weather, light, and material.
Halvorson will host an intimate visit to her studio where curator James Voorhies will serve as an interlocutor talking about the artist’s process, materials, and ideas—deepening the engagement beyond the finished work.
Excursions are outings to artist studios, exhibitions, and cultural sites connected to the exhibitions.

In the early 1990s, photographer Bill Jacobson gained recognition for his defocused images of the human figure— soft, shadowy silhouettes that challenge conventions of portraiture and clarity, instead privileging perception and emotion. Over the years, Jacobson has turned his lens outward with photographs that reflect his ongoing interest in the built environment and the experience of space—landscape.
Jacobson will talk about his work from the series when is place featured in Relational Landscapes and included of the limited edition book when is a place (a playlet in multiple voices) published by Some Planes Press.
Jacobson will be joined in conversation by artist, poet, and critic Wayne Koestenbaum and curator and writer Marvin Heiferman, contributors to Jacobson’s book.

The discussion will explore Yamaoka’s decades-long experimentation with materiality and her shifting engagement with landscape as something both fractured and relational. Together, Yamaoka and Tang consider how abstraction, affect, and resistance move across visual and textual registers—and how curatorial dialogue can echo those movements.
