DAYTON — An artist talk with acclaimed photographer Richard Mosse, in conjunction with the special exhibition, “Ravaged Sublime: Landscape Photography in the 21st Century,” will be at the Dayton Art Institute, Friday, Dec. 16, at 6:30 p.m.

Mosse’s work, as well as the work of Edward Burtynsky, is on view through Jan. 8. “Ravaged Sublime” presents nearly 30 monumental landscape photographs by the two internationally acclaimed artists. The special exhibition demonstrates the continued interest in landscape imagery, while revealing its evolution through the works of these artists.

Mosse was born in Ireland and is based in New York. He earned Master of Fine Arts in Photography from Yale School of Art in 2008 and a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, London, in 2005. He is the winner of the 2014 Deutsche Börse Photography Prize and in 2013, represented Ireland in the Venice Biennale with the “The Enclave,” an immersive six-channel video installation that utilized 16mm infrared film. Mosse has exhibited internationally, and his work is part of many public collections, including the Portland Art Museum; the Martin Margulies Collection in Miami; the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston; the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago; and the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City.

Tickets for the artist talk with Mosse are $5 for museum members and $10 for nonmembers. A special combination ticket that also includes admission to the special exhibition is $20 for nonmembers.
