Art, culture, and entertainment in the Heights and beyond
Fall may be the end of summer, but it's the beginning
of a new arts season. This issue of Heights Arts
newsletter is one to print out and save.
After Katrina
Heights Arts Gallery
2173 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights
216.371.3344
Photographs by Linda Butler, Daniel
Levin, and
Jonathan Wayne
Curated by Tom Hinson
Friday, September 8, 6 to 9 pm Opening
Reception
Through October 28
Guest curator Tom Hinson has gathered works by
area photographers who traveled to the gulf coast in
the fall of 2005 in the weeks after Hurricane Katrina.
This exhibition presents Butler’s meditative black-and-
white prints that feature eerie juxtapositions of
objects and structures, Levin’s panoramic composites
whose disjointed assembly reflects the broken
landscape, and Wayne’s large color images that
combine two or three square frames to present oddly
peaceful compositions of the aftermath of the
storm.
