Converse College in Spartanburg, SC, Features Works by Lucinda W. Bunnen and Judy Lampert
An exhibit by one of the South's leading photographers will open the 2004-2005 season at the Milliken Art Gallery on the campus of Converse College in Spartanburg, SC. (RE) Similarities, on view from Sept. 2 - 30, 2004, features works by Lucinda W. Bunnen with additional works by photographer Judy Lampert.
"Bunnen and Lampert are two photographers that approach their discipline in very similar ways," said Kipp McIntyre, director of the Milliken Art Gallery. "They give us, as an audience, a view of the world as seen through a series of individual moments that share with us the beauty, excitement, passion, and fear that is interwoven with human nature in many cultures."
The exhibit will contain nearly 50 works, many of which are the result of recent trips to Bosnia, Burkina Faso and the American South. Images by Bunnen printed on large silk translucent banners will also be featured.
