MALLONEE EXHIBIT IS SHOWING AT BALDWIN PHOTO GALLERY
‘Evidence of Passing: Vanishing Points Along an American Road’ Displayed Until Dec. 4

(MURFREESBORO) — Noted photographer Tom Mallonee’s exhibit, “Evidence of Passing: Vanishing Points Along an American Road,” opened recently and will be displayed until Dec. 4 in the Baldwin Photographic Gallery on the first floor of the McWherter Learning Resources Center.
Tom Jimison, professor in electronic media communication and gallery director, said Mallonee “has pursued large-format black-and-white work since 1979 and often has chosen subjects which stray from conventional notions of western landscape, yet still embrace decisive composition and meticulous printing techniques such as this 14-year project of bypassed sections of Route 66.”
In recent years, Mallnee has been on the cutting edge of fine art monochromatic inkjet printing, Jimison said, adding that Mallonee founded Bishop, Calif.-based Owens Valley Imaging, which exclusively produces black and white ink prints for artists.
Exhibitions are free and open to the public. For information, call 615-898-2085. A Lecture by the Mallonee will be held at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 3, in the John Bragg Mass Communication Room 103, with the reception afterward in the gallery.
Baldwin Photographic Gallery hours are from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, from noon until 4 p.m. on Saturdays and from 6 until 9:45 p.m. on Sundays. The gallery will be closed Nov. 27-29 (Thursday through Saturday) for the Thanksgiving holiday.
