David Hartt: Peripheries
25 Sep 2026 — 7 Feb 2027 at The Met Fifth Avenue
· New York
David Hartt: Peripheries brings together works by the Canadian-American artist David Hartt, whose practice spans photography, film, and installation. Known for his meditative investigations into modernist ideals, utopian projects, and the communities that inhabit — or have abandoned — them, Hartt turns his lens toward the edges: peripheral spaces, overlooked landscapes, and the quiet residue of ambitious human endeavor.
The exhibition invites visitors to consider how the margins of society and architecture hold their own distinct histories and meanings, offering a thoughtful counterpoint to dominant narratives of progress and place.
