BDN Previews Art Exhibit Commemorating Anniversary of Hiroshima Bombing
The Bangor Daily News advanced an audio-visual art installation at the University of Maine to commemorate the anniversary of the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing. UMaine new media artists N.B. Aldrich and John Carney worked with Maine poet and musician Duane Ingalls and Japanese sound artist Adachi Tomomi on the project that was led by Aldrich. The installation incorporates images of the bomb’s devastation taken from historical documentary films that are combined with “a bilingual spoken word composition,” the article states. The exhibit will be on display from noon to 7 p.m. Thursday through Sunday at UMaine’s Innovative Media Research and Commercialization Center. The center is in Stewart Commons; admission is free. UMaine’s Masters of Fine Arts in Intermedia program, the IMRC Center and Maine Arts Commission are sponsoring the exhibit. WLBZ (Channel 2) also mentioned the exhibit in a report on Hiroshima memorials.
