If you're going to be anywhere near Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill in the next
few months, check out the photography exhibits being featured in
area museums:



At Ackland Art Museum in Chapel Hill, “PhotoVision: Selections from a Decade of Collecting” takes visitors on a trip through the history of photography as an art form from its beginnings in the early 19th century.



On display at the N.C. Museum of Art through March 22, “Private Eye: Allen G. Thomas Jr. Photography Collection” features contemporary works that cover a variety of photographic techniques and processes.

Allen Thomas, a collector from Wilson, donated the photographs to the museum in honor of Lawrence Wheeler’s 20th anniversary as director of NCMA.



In Durham, the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University is preparing to showcase a solo exhibition by photographer and writer Jen Kinney.

“City Under One Roof” is Kinney’s documentary of Whittier, Alaska, where 90 percent of 200 residents live in a single 14-story building. The only land access to the tiny outpost on Prince William Sound is via the longest rail and highway tunnel in North America. Kinney won the center’s Lange-Taylor Prize in 2013 for the project. Part of the award is an exhibit at the Center for Documentary Studies, said Courtney Reid-Eaton, exhibitions director.
