Event Details A new photography exhibit is opening this week at Silver Eye and running through early next year. The sample pieces I've seen are stunning, so I thought others might enjoy a visit to the gallery and perhaps get inspired.... maybe a photo stroll to follow?? The World At Our Door: Melissa Farlow and Randy Olson September 23 – January 2, 2010 Through Farlow and Olson’s keen eyes, we explore middle-class China; the terrain and people of the Alps; the endangered wild horses of Kamchatka; hardships in the Sudan; life along the Pan-American Highway; the last salmon stronghold on the planet; the beauty of America’s public lands; and the human price of gold. “We photograph real people—unexposed—and try to show them as they really are,” says Farlow, “Our hope is that a viewer will take from it the things we have in common with others that may seem so different, or to show reality with the viewer being the judge.” From the tough, grim subjects in Olson’s series The Human Cost of Gold and Sudan to the spirited beauty of Farlow’s series Mustangs: Wild Horses, the exhibition brings the world right to Pittsburgh’s doorstep. This exhibition is made possible by Silver Eye Center for Photography members and by the Allegheny Regional Asset District, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, The Fine Foundation, The Grable Foundation, The Heinz Endowments, The A.W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation and Anonymous.
