To take place during Los Angles Art Month, the exhibition represents the artist's first solo exhibition in Los Angeles of his monumental, hand-brushed composite photographs that represent a technical and aesthetic tour de force. Incandela is recognized for his unique photographic process, by which he conceptually merges drawing and photography. In the darkroom, Incandela transforms the images captured with the lens of his camera by creating new compositions though the combination of multiple negatives in a panorama like effect. During the course of developing the large format, black and white prints, Incandela selectively applies developer and fixer on paper with a brushas to reveal and animate selected elements of the captured image. This process also allows for him to create both warm and cool tones on the same unique, master print. Transforming the chemistry of photography into a charcoal or ink-like media and using a drawing-like process, Incandela employs his own bold, meaningful gestures to portray and retrace his subjects conveying his intuitive understanding and visual exploration of them. The exhibition presents Incandela's newest series of works, which employs the nude male figure to explore the artist's ongoing concern with pictorial space. Exploiting the angularity of the male body, the artist make use of a bent arm or leg as a gateway or entry point into the spatial depth that the camera has recorded. Using his distinct, drawing like process, Incandela makes marks that appear to be placed on different illusionary planes of the print, the ultimate effect of which is to expand the image's perception of depth. This achievement is heightened though compositing multiple source images, each with there own point of perspective. For the artist, "the challenge was to express more sensuality in the materials and their application than in the image of the nude body. The pictorial action is in the negative spaces surrounding the figure." Gerald Incandela New Photographic Drawings square

The School of Constructed Environments at Parsons The New School for Design will explore this question when it presents Detour, a traveling exhibition documenting notable architecture and design along 18 Norwegian National Tourist Routes. The exhibition, which is sponsored by the Royal Norwegian Consulate General and presented in collaboration with the Architectural League of New York and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, will be on view December 4 through January 19 at the Arnold and Sheila Aronson Galleries at the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center at Parsons. Detour features photography and architectural models of key works from Norway's National Tourist Routes Project initiated by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, which encourages designers across the world to propose alternatives to the traditional tourist-route architecture, which tends to value function over aesthetic beauty. The architects and designers make structures that harmonize with the surroundings and reinforce travelers’ appreciation of the great outdoors and unspoiled countryside. A centerpiece of the exhibition is a large viewing chamber that lets visitors peek inside at a film that winds along Norway's scenic roads and bike paths and explores in detail some of the projects. The initiative has so far resulted in close to 200 built projects, ranging from stopping points, information centers, picnic areas, rest stops, and observation platforms; including works by architect Peter Zumthor in collaboration with artist Louise Bourgeois, and Snøhetta. The project emphasizes creativity and innovation over cost efficiency, and has served as a way for young architects to launch themselves as independent designers. Two of the earliest participants, Jan Olav Jensen and Børre Skodvin from Jensen & Skodvin Architects, have become internationally recognized names, and their viewing platform at Gudbrandsjuvet was nominated for the 2009 Mies van der Rohe Award for Architecture.

The exhibition explores how 21st-century furniture makers seek to modify our aesthetic expectations—especially when it comes to forms that are multifunctional, recyclable, or made of alternative materials. Work by contemporary artists is featured alongside historical objects, exploring roots of the green idea in furniture design. The exhibition curators also strive to achieve a level of "green curating" that cuts down on this exhibition's carbon footprint.
