George Eastman House revives influential show ROCHESTER, NY (WXXI) - This weekend (June 13th) a new exhibition of photographs opens at the George Eastman House in Rochester.

Actually, it's a recreation of an old show that, over time, has become one of the most-talked about shows in the history of photography. WXXI's Brenda Tremblay spoke with curator Alison Nordstrom about how a small show mounted in Rochester influenced a whole generation of photographers. The exhibition New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-altered Landscape, held in 1975 at George Eastman House, signaled the emergence of a new approach to landscape photography. A new version of this exhibition, organized with the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, will re-examine more than 100 works from the 1975 show, as well as some 30 prints and books by other relevant artists to provide additional historical and contemporary context.
