"[A] mountain range may receive
the attention of the hydraulic engineer or of Gutzon Borglum, of
the skiing enthusiast or of Robert Frost - each will see it differently:
as a utilitarian, a hedonist, a conceptualist, or a moralist, whatever
he may be, connecting the phenomenon with his own intuitions and
ideas." --From Man-Made America, by Christopher Tunnard and
Boris Pushkarev

The Wendover Exhibit Hall opened to the public this
summer, presenting the show "Around Wendover: An Examination
of the Anthropic Landscape Through Maps and Photographs".
The show explores landscapes in the geographic vicinity of Wendover,
and incorporates the work of several photographers.
The Exhibit Hall, a former military barracks located
at an abandoned airbase in Wendover, Utah, is dedicated to showing
art and documentary media related to land use in the region, and
is part of The Center's Land Use Museum Complex.
The opening of the exhibit, which took place on
the first weekend of June, was attended by friends and supporters
of the CLUI, and a number of area residents. Excerpts from the
exhibit are featured in the center section of this newsletter.
