Mirror To The World
“Abandoned Lace Factory” by Michael BorekMirror To The World: Documentary Photography 2011
March 11 – April 17, 2011
Opening Reception: Friday, March 18, 6-9 p.m.
Photoworks Gallery in historic Glen Echo Park is proud to present Mirror To The World: Documentary Photography 2011. Mirror To The World seeks to celebrate narrative photography — story telling with photos and words. This exhibit represents some of the best in documentary photography, by a local group of six not-yet-famous photographers. Curated by nationally recognized documentary photographer and author, Frank Van Riper, this show offers a series of intimate “picture stories” — including an exploration of abandoned prisons, a rehearsal and performance by the Folger Consort, and a woman-on-the-street view of a raging fire in Brooklyn. As Van Riper states, “It will, as always, be a hell of a show.”
Participating Artists:
1. Michael Borek- Scranton Lace (A pictorial study of an abandoned lace factory in Pennsylvania)
2. Claudia Copeland- ‘A Concord of Sweet Sounds’ (Images from the Folger Consort)
3. Rachel Eisley- Fire in Brooklyn (A vacant tenement burns in the snow)
4. Mark Parascandola- Relics (Studies of abandoned buildings — including a Spanish prison and a remote military installation)
5. Erica Wissolik- The Carrie Furnace (One of the last great steel mills in Pittsburgh…)
6. Eric Zhang- Rituals (Three slices of life from the DC area: Way of the Cross, No Pants Day, and Sharing the Dream)
