'Author and independent scholar William L.

Join Fox for this talk, which will focus on images on view in David Maisel: Black Maps.

Following Fox’s talk, please join us for a roundtable discussion about the intersections of art and environment with photographer David Maisel; writer Geoff Manaugh, creator of BLDGBLOG, and William L. Fox, author of, Making Time: Essays on the Nature of Los Angeles, The Void, the Grid & the Sign: Traversing The Great Basin and In the Desert of Desire: Las Vegas and the Culture of Spectacle.

This program is presented as part of the NMA’s Art + Environment program series, an initiative that brings community, artists, and scholars together to explore the interaction between people and their environments."
