Visual Arts presents a dual exhibition relating to current world events – “Pilgrimage & Clips” – through March 21 in the Arts Atrium Gallery.
“Pilgrimage” is a series of photographs of visitors to the World Trade Center site by Kevin Bubriski, a Vermont-based photographer who has received Guggenheim and Fulbright fellowships as well as a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Some of this series was published in a recent special edition of DoubleTake magazine.
“Clips,” curated by Martin Benjamin, professor of photography, features a selection of news clips pertaining to photography coverage of recent world events from sources such as the New York Times, New Yorker and Life.
In that issue of DoubleTake Bubriski wrote:
“I found people experiencing a profound sense of community, but also the deepest kind of personal reflection on loss and mortality … most visitors appeared to finally grasp the horror of the images on television and in magazines and newspapers.”
There will be a reception on Thursday, Feb. 28, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in the Arts Building.
For more information, call ext. 6714.
