I missed "The Disappeared" while it was in Washington DC. It looks like an extraordinary exhibition. I'm unable to attend the University of Wyoming show. Can someone tell me where it will travel next?
And a word to the wise from someone who has seen photos of the works but procrastinated too long to go in person - if you can see it at UWY, don't miss it!
The remaining venues for The Disappeared are:
June 11 - September 12, 2009
Stanlee adn Gerald Rubin Center fo rthe Visual Arts, University of Texas at El Paso
October 10, 2009 - January 10, 2010
Weisman Museum of Art
MInneapolis, MN
Update on Minneapolis: you might want to check the dates for this venue.
I'm so happy to have found your blog. I intend to view the exhibit when it reaches El Paso.
I included references to your museum, citations from the exhibit narrative and links back to your sites in my current WordPress blog, The Disappeared: An Exhibit, A Life.
Thanks to all who have helped to make this important exhibit possible.
