Re(de)fining Landscape

Re(de)fining Landscape is an exhibition in the Art Gallery at Penn State Abington (September 3 – December 13, 2024)that showcases two bodies of work alongside artist's journals, reflecting Levinthal's response to place through a sampling of artworks completed at home and abroad. In a large work on view, entitled Strata, she contemplates ice and sediment core sampling, geological formations and topographical patterns, completed while a resident fellow at the Ballinglen Arts Foundation in Ireland. In a body of work on view throughout the gallery, Between Two Rivers is an exploration and response to the waterways in and around Philadelphia, a record of observations of atmosphere, weather, and a record of her studio practice during the pandemic. The journals on view illustrate Levinthal's many responses to various bodies of water, both actual and imaginary.
