Birthdays are always an occasion to take stock of things, and America’s 250th is, much like most of our big round number anniversaries, a kind of who-are-we-anyway moment. Andrew Edlin Gallery celebrates this country’s great visionary experiment in identity and belonging with a broad collection of artists whose divergent perspectives reflect the cultural spectrum of our commonality. The American Landscape is a place of possibility, the irrational sum of the facts on the ground and the dreams that permeate our consciousness.
