With a special introduction by Humberto Moro\, Deputy Director of Program at Dia Art Foun dation\, this discussion celebrates the concurrent opening of two shows th at explore evolution over time: THIS LAND: Considering the American Landsc ape at The Church (opening June 21\, 2026) and De sol a sol at Dia Bridgeh ampton (opening June 26\, 2026)\,\n\n \;\n\nRaven and Ruiz will discus s their respective work before exploring the intersections between the two . Following the discussion there will be a Q&\;A led by This Land exhib ition curators Donna De Salvo and Seph Rodney that will then open to quest ions from the audience.\n\n \;\n\nRaven\, whose work Deposition\, Dam Breach\, 21\, 2024 will be on view at The Church this summer\, examines fo rces of pressure\, industry\, and material transformations that mark weste rn American landscape. In the Depositions\, Raven modelled a series of dam breaks\, setting up container-scale breaches of earthen dams with tempora ry reservoirs whose fluctuating cycles of pressure and release are registe red against their silk substrates demonstrating how the endurance of natur al materials in the fluctuating cycles of pressure and release literally t urn “land into landscape.”\n\n \;\n\nRuiz\, who is creating a new site-responsive work at Dia Bridgehampton\, examines man-made landscapes a nd environments. By considering the physical sites and social relations be hind industrial\, institutional\, and bureaucratic spaces\, Ruiz juxtapose s the physical and historical\, the man-made and the natural.  Exploring Dia’s architecture and its previous lives as a fire station and First Ba ptist Church of Bridgehampton\, as well considering the symbolic and layer ed meaning in the natural light of the East End\, Ruiz leverages the viewe rs’ attention and perception\, creating a unique experience within the s pace.\n\n \;\n\nBe sure to stop by both institutions this summer to ta ke see this incredible work in person.
