Hillwood Art Museum features "Eriberto
Guidi: Square Fields"
The Hillwood Art Museum at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island
University
will present an exhibition of photographs by contemporary Italian
photographer Eriberto Guidi. The exhibit, titled "Eriberto
Guidi: Square Fields," will be on display from September
5 through November 12, 2000.
Guidi's black and white photographic images use the play of
shadows on scenic landscapes to evoke nature's essence. Shadows
and light, rather than the actual landscape, are the focal point
of his high contrast images. Guidi, who was born and continues
to live in Italy's Marche region, says of his landscapes, "They
are never still or motionless, even when you try to fix their
shape on film." The exhibition will be accompanied by English
Romantic verse to enhance the poetic and natural elements of
Guidi's work.
An opening reception will be held Tuesday, September 12, 2000
from 5 - 8 p.m. at the Museum. This exhibition will be accompanied
by a lecture, "Important Photographs of the Twentieth Century,"
presented by C.W. Post Professor Peter Moriarty on Tuesday, September
19 at 7 p.m. in the Museum. For a preview of this exhibit, please
visit www.metonimia.com
or www.liu.edu/museum.
The exhibition and its events are free and open to the public.
Hillwood Art Museum is open Monday through Friday 9:30 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. and remains open until 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday evenings;
Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The museum is located in
Hillwood Commons on the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University,
720 Northern Boulevard, Brookville.
