	Artfacts.Net: Uta Barth
		Further to Uta Barth´s previous work towards establishing photography as a metaphor for visual perception, this work stands in contradiction to the dominant impulse in photography towards document of spectacle.
		As in the earliest Ground series by Barth, and consistently presented throughout the artist's photographic investigations, the subject of the work is suggested, rather than revealed, and thus exceeds photography's inherent limitations.
		Uta Barth´s work was recently the subject of a travelling museum survey exhibition at the Henry Art Gallery, Seattle and CAM, Houston.

		Uta Barth's simultaneous shows at the CAM and Lawing Gallery present a comprehensive retrospective of her work for the past ten years.
		Barth's photos are a view of earth after the neutron bomb or the rapture: everything intact, but no people, just places where people used to be, as in the airless water tower photos of Bernd and Hilla Becher, or the anonymous industrial interiors of Andreas Gursky.
		Barth's genius is in using self-conscious, formal composition as an antidote for sentimentality.

		Barth: It seems to me that the work invites confusion on several levels, and that "meaning" is generated in the process of "sorting things out." On the most obvious level, we all expect photographs to be pictures of something.
		Barth: I get asked about Richter very often, and while I am a great admirer of his work I am not sure that I can see much, if any, relationship in what we are doing.
		Barth: The 1994 exhibition at domestic setting [a Los Angeles gallery] was the beginning of the interior project and it was a site-specific piece.

	Scott Fisher: "Ground" by Uta Barth
		Barth's work investigates the phenomenon of seeing, making the viewer conscious of the process of looking, aware of vision.
		In a later untitled series, Barth's use of multiple images, suggesting frames of movement informed by film, examines fleeting human vision captured in early dawn light or misty fogbound fields.
		In Barth's most recent series, nowhere near and 'and of time, she has worked with her own living space, recording sequences of light as it changes through windows and across walls.

	Guggenheim Collection - 1990s - Barth - Field #23
		Uta Barth's hazy photographs occupy the territory between abstraction and representation.
		In focusing her lens on the glass itself rather than the view behind it, Barth highlights the conceptual underpinnings of all her work: an examination of the act of perception.
		When she enlarges some photographs to epic proportions and arranges them in diptychs or triptychs, Barth effectively overwhelms viewers with an acute awareness of their own processes of seeing, very often by confounding their understanding of what it is they see.

		One look at German-born artist Uta Barth's photography show In Between Places (on view through January 21 at the Henry Art Gallery) will tell you — she has a concept.
		This is the first retrospective of Barth's work to appear anywhere, and the overall effect feels cohesive, expansive, and at times, illuminating.
		Here she has begun to explore the relationship of the foreground to the background more, pairing images to show how our eyes focus and follow moving objects such as leaves blowing on the tip of a tree limb.

	'Uta Barth (Contemporary Artists)' by Matthew Higgs (Books) - American Poems (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Born in Berlin in 1958 and now based in Los Angeles, Uta Barth is among the most influential artists working with photography to have emerged in the last decade.
		While they record their subjects in sharply objective archival detail, Barth’s images of interiors, buildings, suburban roads or natural environments are often out of focus, perversely cropped and apparently empty of any foreground subject.
		This splendid monograph on the work of Uta Barth lays out in lavish detail how she deconstructs vision into a series of sensations and effects.

	Tanya Bonakdar Gallery: Uta Barth
		Over the past 15 years, Barth’s work has repeatedly refused to address a central subject, presenting us instead with out-of-focus backgrounds, peripheral views and passing glimpses of scenes seen only in passing.
		The exhibitions presents us with pictures of various scale, some as diptychs and triptychs, which are occasionally interrupted by bright red optical afterimages and that bright flash of color we see, as we close and rest our eyes, if only for a moment.
		Uta Barth’s work has been exhibited widely by museums, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, MoMA, New York, the Guggenheim Museum, New York and Bilbao, the Tate Modern, London, MOCA, Los Angeles, the MCA Chicago, LACMA, Los Angeles, the Getty Museum, the Wexner Center and many others.

	The SocioWeb: Sociology Books » Uta Barth: nowhere near
		Barth's subject is the obviousness of the unconscious.
		By creating photographs of objects that are - for her, at least, banal - she creates a context in which one might find a more meaningful level of discourse about the subject.
		Jan Tumlir's essay provides the context for the work in a clear, concise prose, reminding the reader of Barth's philosophical importance, as well as her artistic value.

	Uta Barth: In Between Places - Henry Art Gallery - Absolutearts.com
		By photographing in ordinary places — in simple rooms and landscapes - Barth uses what is familiar to shift attention from the subject matter to a consciousness of the processes of perception and the visceral and intellectual pleasures of seeing.
		In an early series, Ground, Barth focuses her camera on unoccupied foregrounds in simple interiors, fashioning images of quiet space that seem expectant of incident.
		In Barth's most recent series, nowhere near and...and of time, she has worked in her own living space, recording sequences of light as it changes through windows and across walls.

		By using the conventions of photography (composition, lighting, focus, depth of field, etc.) and our expectations of those conventions, Barth makes photographs that shift our attention away from what is pictured to visual perception itself.
		However, they are the perfect subjects for Barth’s explorations of perception and the impossibility of separating the “reality” of something from how it is perceived.
		Without narrative, chronology, or other apparent meaning, Barth’s photographs are, in the words of one curator, a “study in sameness that attempts to reduce all activity and purpose to pure observation.”

		Her images invert the notion of background and foreground, drawing viewers' attention to what is often depicted as marginal visual information.
		Barth's work explores these peripheries of perception: the corner of a room (Ground #38, 1994); the brakelights of a passing car (Field #3, 1995); bare trees seen through a window (white blind/bright red, 2002).

		Barth works in extended series over a number of years.
		It also suggests the "in-between" place that is evoked by these extraordinary images that take us momentarily outside our habitual perception of the things around us.

		Uta Barth is among the key contemporary artists who have brought photography to the prominent position occupied by painting at the start of the 20th century.
		Her evanescent photographs of interiors, urban and natural environments capture fleeting moments as if seen out of the corner of the eye, where we become aware of the beauty of light, space, texture and luminous surfaces.
		In urban subjects such as the glare of lights on a road, the effect is reminiscent of the background ambiences created in cinematography.
