Saw this amazing show in Manchester (my second favorite city after Glasgow) at the Whitworth "The Land Between Us".

"Taking a radical approach to landscape art, The Land Between Us presents historic and modern as works together and on equal terms. The exhibition focuses on the imagery of landscape, the places it depicts, the cultural and political power invested in the land and how meaning is found between art and the viewer."

"The Land Between Us imagines a place where art, artist and viewer confront each other beyond the limits of their individual frontiers".
