ACCIDENTAL ARCHITECTURE: DEPICTIONS OF DEMOLITION
Photoworks Gallery and Photography School in historic Glen Echo Park presents Accidental Architecture: Depictions of Demolition, a photography exhibition by Julie Miller. Between deliberate architectural patterns and a jumble of rubble are the unpredictable forms of a structure on its way down. In her images of demolition sites in the Washington, D.C., area, Julie Miller captures edifices in their final hours. Rather than gloomy depictions of decay, these photos reflect the old making way for the new while providing a reminder that just a few decades ago, each structure promised lasting appeal. A resident of Silver Spring, Miller took most of the photos in D.C., Silver Spring, and Rockville.
The exhibition runs through June 10, Saturdays, 1-4 p.m. and Sundays, 1-8 p.m. (and anytime there is a class in the photography school); with a reception and gallery talk on Friday, May 10, 6:30-8:30 p.m. Visit www.glenechophotoworks.org.
