Artistic Heights

There are several recent artistic expressions (performances/exhibitions, ...) which gravitate around the concept "Wuthering Heights". Although we don't really know if many (or all) of them have actually anything to do with Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights.

At the Galerie Mikael Andersen (Berlin) a recent installation by Moshekwa Langa: Wuthering Heights.
The exhibition WUTHERING HEIGHTS by the South African artist Moshekwa Langa (born 1975) has been on view at Galerie Mikael Andersen since April 30th.

Moshekwa Langa lives and works in Amsterdam and Johannesburg.

The Icelandic artists Sally and Mo with their video installation Wuthering Heights described like this:
Wuthering Heights
Video 6:37min

Sally and Mo, stand side by side on the banks of a small stream. Slowly they walk into the middle of the stream, stop and face each other, then disappear. In a field of freshly cut grass Sally and Mo experience the wide open space in their surreal way. For this they have brought their generator and an army of fans. The generator produces energy for the fans and Sally and Mo have completed their task.

It can be seen until July 25th at the Ketilhús & Deigla Art Center in Akureyri (Iceland).

Photography exhibitions like the following one: Iván García's Cumbres Borrascosas (Wuthering Heights) which is described like this in the Heraldo de Soria (Spain):
La transposición de los sentimientos en el paisaje que ve al otro lado de la cámara es el fundamento de 'Cumbres borrascosas', trabajo de Iván García que en marzo podrá verse como exposición en el Museo del Bosque, en Vinuesa, y unos meses más tarde el Muriel de la Fuente y San Leonardo de Yagüe.
'Cumbres borrascosas' nace de dos circunstancias: su trabajo como vigilante forestal y la muerte de uno de sus mejores amigos, a cuya memoria va dedicado este trabajo fin de estudios. "Busqué espacios atemporales, utilicé la naturaleza para plasmar los sentimientos que yo viví allí", señalaba emocionado en su presentación. (Sonia Almoguera) (Google translation)
Or the winner of the photography contest Potrerillos Todo el Año (Argentina): José Hernán Montero with Cumbres Borrascosas (Category Spring-Summer). The picture can be seen here.
