Simple Stories: The Photography of Robert Houston
ART 427 Students Curate Exhibit at Creative Alliance in Balt
A curatorial project of Sandra Abbott’s UMBC Museum Studies class, this exhibit explores the work of photographer, Robert Houston. Houston's 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.
About the exhibition: Over the past few decades Baltimore has struggled with fragmentation. Rather than seen as a unified city, Baltimore is instead viewed as a grouping of disparate neighborhoods. However, art has the power to transcend limiting imagined identities. The photographs of Robert Houston celebrate the underlying essence of humanity embodied by each and every one of us.
On view in the Creative Alliance's Amalie Rothschild Gallery Dec 6-14. Gallery hours Tue-Sat, 11am-7pm.
