Cecil Sharp
Appalachian Photographs
celebrating the 100th anniversary of his trip from England to Appalachia to study English Folk Music. From 1916-1918, English ballad collector Cecil Sharp traveled the Appalachian region to document variants of these songs and photographed some of the singers who shared their songs. These 30 rare photographs offer a stunning window into the life of Appalachian people in the period and will be on display for the first time. For much more information please visit: www.cecilsharpinappalachia.org
January 20 through February 11, 2017

Special Note about this work: Through This Lens was the first location in the US to show this work, and also provided printing and framing of the photographs and informational panels so that it could be enjoyed and travel safely to other venues. Please keep track of current or future venues for this show via www.cecilsharpinappalachia.org

Douglas Vuncannon
Sabungeros (Cockfighters)

The exhibit features black and white photographs of cockfighting in the Philippines.  Although cockfighting is legal in the Philippines, Vuncannon’s show focuses on illegal, open-air fights.  The show provides a personal, often touching portrait of the lives of sabungeros while raising questions about animal cruelty, violence, and the effect of this sport on impoverished communities.

Arnold Zann & Margo Taussig Pinkerton
The Yin and Yang of the Outer Banks
Often referred to as OBX, this area is a combination of beautiful, pristine seascape, much within Cape Hatteras National Seashore, and of businesses opened to make money off the tourism this area brings in.  Some of these businesses succeed, but some lie broken. The Yin and Yang of the Outer Banks is Arnie and Margo’s view of the two facets of a popular destination such as these barrier islands.

2011

Kevin Logghe
Object to Image:
A Multi-Media Installation and Photographic Exhibition


Curiosity and an introspective psychology are the forces behind this exhibition of conceptual work. The 3-D art, a first for Through This Lens, is closely tied to the photographs engendered from the installations and arrangements on display. Mr. Logghe draws on a complex history of photography dating to the 19th century for some of the printing techniques used, and into the 21st century for others. This rich grouping of contemporary work will delight and confound. There will be something for every viewer and student of photography.
Please join us for the artist's reception + our 7th anniversary party from 6-9PM, Friday, November 18th...
Works on display: November 18, 2011 - January 7, 2012
