| Description: |
The College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) at UMass Dartmouth continues its 2007-2008 exhibition season with 'A View From the Rez.' This solo exhibition features recent work by visiting artist John Willis, whose stunning black-and-white photographs document the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, tribal home of the Oglala Lakota Sioux People. John Willis received an MFA in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1986. His photographic work has been exhibited throughout the country and internationally, and is included in many private and public collections including The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Boston Museum of Fine Arts, The Houston Museum of Fine Arts, and Harvard University. Currently, Willis is professor of photography at Marlboro College in Vermont and co-founder and board president for the In-Sight Photography Project, a non-profit organization that has offered free photography classes to Southern Vermont youth since 1992. 'A View From the Rez' will be on view January 28 through February 14, 2008, in the CVPA Campus Gallery. There will be a gallery talk on Thursday, February 14, from 4-5pm. A reception will follow from 5-6pm. Regular gallery hours are Monday through Saturday from 10am-5pm, or by appointment. This exhibition is free of charge and open to the public. |
