Simple Stories: The Photography of Robert Houston, a curatorial project of the Museum Practice class (Art 427), was mentioned this week in an interview with the artist in City Paper and in the contemporary art blog, Bmore Art, as “best Baltimore art opening.”
Read the interview, “Images of Struggle,” at City Paper‘s website, or see which other exhibitions top the list of Bmore Art picks.
Simple Stories explores the work of photographer, Robert Houston whose photographic career documents half a century of portraits and everyday life, including his work for LIFE magazine and images of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Museum Practice is a course under the Art History/Museum Studies concentration in the Department of Visual Arts taught in the fall by Sandra Abbott, curator of collections & outreach at the CADVC. The course addresses professional museum and gallery practice, includes several visits to area institutions — such as the BMA, Homewood Museum and the Archaeological Museum at Johns Hopkins University — and then culminates in a student-curated exhibit at a Baltimore institution.
Simple Stories opened at the Creative Alliance at the Patterson December 6, and continues through December 14. Starting at 8:30 pm on Thursday, December 12, the Marquee Lounge will host “A Night with the Storyteller,” in which the artist shares accounts from his career of visually chronicling those from all walks of life. The Amalie Rothschild Gallery is open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. — 7 p.m.
