UMMA exhibit, Kinghorn cited in Free Press article on photo collection
The Free Press reported the Dowling Walsh Gallery in Rockland will open an exhibit of selections from the Bruce Brown Photography Collection organized by the Center for Maine Contemporary Art (CMCA). The show is half of a two-part exhibition celebrating the collection of Bruce Brown, CMCA’s curator emeritus, who began collecting works by Maine photographers in 1989, according to the article. Thirty-six photographs from his collection are featured in the CMCA show, and 30 in a show at University of Maine Museum of Art (UMMA) in Bangor, as part of the yearlong Maine Photo Project. For the two-part exhibit, directors Suzette McAvoy of CMCA and George Kinghorn from UMMA each made an initial selection of photographs and asked Brown to “pair” their choices visually or thematically, the article states.
