Join the Sun Valley Center for the Arts for a conversation with internationally known photographers Emmet Gowin and Laura McPhee about their work in the Great Basin, the vast portion of the American West defined by the fact that its rivers all drain internally. What drew these celebrated artists to spend time in the Great Basin? How has each used photography to tell complicated stories about the environment and ecosystems of the Great Basin, and about the intersection of governmental agencies, corporations and individuals on its landscapes?

Mirage: Energy, Water and Creativity in the Great Basin is supported in part by grants from the Robert Lehman Foundation and an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
