This’ll be good, very good.

 

I’d not heard of the Center for the Study of the American South. I wonder if they’d be a partner in the Black History Month and the options for that

Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans

photographs by John Rosenthal

Love House and Hutchins Forum
410 East Franklin St.
on view June 5-August 15

Lizard Street, 2007


Chapel Hill's John Rosenthal spent the better part of last year photographing the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. The 18 photographs at the Love House and Hutchins Forum, home of the Center for the Study of the American South, are the fruits of that labor and will be on view this summer through mid-August. This work focuses on a 20-square block of the Lower Ninth Ward and constitutes a memorial to a once vibrant New Orleans neighborhood that, contrary to what the mass media has reported, cared deeply about itself and includes loved buildings—especially homes and churches—mostly demolished during the time-span of this project. Seeing the photographs in person is essential: the painterly, landscape quality of the large-scale, color format--images are approximately 2 by 3 feet--lends both immediacy and distance to the work. For more information visit the Center's Web site at UNCSouth.org.

John Rosenthal will be available at the Love House and Hutchins Forum to answer questions about his work during a special Meet the Artist viewing of the show on June 5, from 4 until 6 p.m.  The exhibition will be featured on the Chapel Hill-Carrboro 2nd Friday Artwalk on July 11 from 6 until 9 p.m. Regular viewing hours at the Center are Thursday afternoons from 2 until 4:30. A more extensive version of the show, titled "Then, Absence," will open on August 29, 2008, the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, at the New Orleans African-American Museum in Treme,  just a few blocks from the French Quarter, and will remain at the museum until October 31.
