PORTFOLIO - Mike Yuhasz, Great north development group
Multidisciplinary artist Mike Yuhasz’s Great North Development Group project explores the way we conceive of and relate to land in today’s complex world. Yuhasz’s confected, prearranged, set-up, and situational photographic and informational material carries contradictory and duplicitous messages about the consumer ethos.
The project is as much about our potential collective perception, understanding, and potential exploitation of land as territory as it is about the orchestration of visual information and the sophistication (or lack thereof) of presentational frameworks in today’s society. Mike Yuhasz’s project does not necessarily encourage an understanding of our links to nature, but it successfully explores the parameters of contemporary media and corporate culture.
