UMaine Museum of Art’s winter exhibits featured in BDN
The Bangor Daily News reported on three exhibitions on display through May 6 at the University of Maine Museum of Art in downtown Bangor. The centerpiece of the museum’s winter exhibits is “Brenton Hamilton: 20 Years,” a mid-career retrospective of the Maine-based photographer’s work, according to the article. Hamilton uses old-fashioned photographic techniques to create images that blur the line between the antique or historic and the decidedly contemporary, the article states. “There’s now a resurgence of people that are working in photography in those early processes,” said George Kinghorn, the museum’s director and curator. “I think that’s certainly a response to the prevalence of digital. There’s so much digital photography, and this is kind of a counterbalance to that, investigating those old processes in a contemporary way.” Also on display is “Siobhan McBride: Four Hour Fortune Cookie” and “Jared Cowan: The Life of David.” The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturday. Admission is free.
