Albin O. Kuhn Gallery

Albin O. Kuhn Gallery The Gallery also seeks to increase the accessibility to collections held in the Library, particularly the nationally recognized Photography Collections.

The Gallery sponsors exhibitions of original works of art and historical documents, as well as lectures, symposia, and tours intended to serve UMBC students, staff and faculty, as well as members of the surrounding community. In the context of UMBC, a research university, the Gallery serves as a crucible for the discovery of and encounter with ideas greater than any single book, object, image or c

oncept. Exposing students and visitors to a broad range of exhibitions and educational and public programming across a wide range of subjects, media, and aesthetic purposes is a primary goal of the Gallery. Exhibitions and programs are open to the public. Admission is free.

Opening in the Library Gallery on April 2nd: "Aftermath: War is Only Half the Story tells the incredibly moving stories of the people left behind after the cameras have moved on from a war zone. Drawing on photographs from over fifty photographers, these personal and often poetic post-war views unveil not only another side to the devastating effects of war, but also tell the stories of people coming together to rebuild and heal."

On display in the Library Gallery through March 18, "Our People, Our Land, Our Images" has been carefully constructed as a first person, indigenous account. Reflecting contemporary trends, the photographers and their subjects vary in style, from straightforward documentary accounts to aesthetically altered images combining overlays and collage. The variety found in the exhibition conveys the plurality of the indigenous voices and their concerns. The photographs are united, however, in how they convey their makers’ connections to the land, community, and traditions."

Victoria Sambunaris has traversed and documented the vast landscape of the United States for more than a decade, viewing the intersection of geology, industry and culture as both a record and a metaphor for the American experience. Sambunaris' large-scale photographs reveal the mystery and unease of a country where human intervention and natural beauty inspire wonder in equal measure.
