The Center for Land Use Interpretation<\/a> (CLUI) is particularly adroit at turning our attention to places that we never noticed or simply stopped seeing. A case in point \u2013 CLUI\u2019s latest exhibition titled American Falls: Overlooking Urban Waterfalls.<\/em><\/p>\n

As the Center points out, while waterfalls were \u201c\u2026at the heart of the American pastoral industrial sublime,\u201d many of them have been destroyed by human development as the nation grew in size and its population expanded. Despite this destruction, \u201ca few specimens\u2026 remain in the middle of the urban and industrial nation that formed around them,\u2028where they are still, slowly and resiliently, at work, eroding.\u201d<\/p>\n

This exhibition calls attention to those overlooked waterfalls and asks us to contemplate how and why they persist, the roles they played in the life of the community that grew up around them, and the ways they relate to and affect their contemporary surroundings.<\/p>\n
