Exhibition Opening & Book Launch: Indifferent West by Daniel Mirer
We opened the autumn season with the celebration of Indifferent West, an exhibition and book by Daniel Mirer. The evening brought together a lively mix of friends, artists, collectors, and first-time visitors, all eager to experience a body of work that has been three decades in the making.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the event!
Mirer’s photographs, drawn from countless journeys across the American Southwest, are both arresting and unsettling. In their vivid detail, we glimpse the familiar iconography of the frontier: wide desert plains, faded roadside attractions, cowboy myths frozen in time. Yet beneath the surface lies a sharp critique. The work asks us to look again at what we think we know—the stories we tell about the West, how they are commodified, and what they conceal about histories, water politics, and ecological fragility.
The accompanying book that we launched, gathers 108 of these images into a single volume, extending the exhibition into an archive. Like the show itself, the book captures the strange duality of the West through both photographs and featured essays.
Couldn’t make it to the opening? The exhibition is on view at Elliott Gallery until 17th January. We invite you to visit during gallery hours, Wednesday to Saturday, 13:00–18:00, or to make an appointment for a more personal encounter with the work!
