06/22/2017 12:01 AMThe Yale University Art Gallery has announced the opening of Candy/A Good and Spacious Land, an exhibition of new work by photographers Jim Goldberg and Donovan Wylie that celebrates the publication of a two-volume set of photo books by the same title.
The exhibition and publication grew out of time that the artists spent in New Haven beginning in 2013 as Happy and Bob Doran Artists in Residence at the gallery. While many artists use the Doran residency as an opportunity to explore the gallery’s collections in depth and to access the resources of the university at large, Goldberg and Wylie opted instead to focus on the city of New Haven—its history and its unique character. The resulting images offer two complementary visions of the city: Goldberg, a New Haven native, captures the people and personal stories of his hometown, while the Northern Ireland–born Wylie examines New Haven through the framework of its highway infrastructure.
The exhibit runs through Sunday, Aug. 20 at Yale University Art Gallery, 1111 Chapel Street, New Haven. For more information about this and other exhibitions, visit artgallery.yale.edu.
