"Volterra and Pasqua" at the LSU Museum of Art
to
LSU Museum of Art 100 Lafayette Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802
Running alongside the LSU MOA's exhibition Mediterranea: American Art from the Graham D. Williford Collection is a separate exhibition of two series of works by Kevin Benham. His photo series Voltura documents the unique ecology of the mosses, lichens, and other vegetation that grows on the ancient rock formations that make up an ancient amphitheater from the Augustan Period of the first century BC. Also on view with Voltura is Benham's short documentary film Pasqua, which look into the Italian tradition of a Transhumanza—in which cows or sheep are herded from the highlands into the lowlands and back again—through a modern lens. A gallery talk with featured artist Kevin Benham will take place January 27 at 6 pm. Free. lsumoa.org.
