McNichols Civic Center Building opens two fall exhibitions; related programming

9/14/2017

 
The McNichols Civic Center Building is pleased to announce two new exhibitions opening Friday, Sept. 15.
 
Second Floor Exhibit (Boettcher Cultural Pavilion): ICE: Portraits of Vanishing Glaciers
Through December 23
Marking the tenth anniversary of the Extreme Ice Survey, this exhibition features nationally-known Boulder artist James Balog’s stunning color photography. The Extreme Ice Survey, based in Boulder, Colorado, uses time-lapse photography, conventional photography and video to document the effects of global warming on glacial ice. For more than 30 years, Balog has broken new conceptual and artistic ground on one of the most important issues of our era: human modification of our planet’s natural systems. He and his Extreme Ice Survey team share images that give a provocative insight into how changing climate affects the global landscape.
 
Third Floor Exhibit: Under the Mexican Sky: Gabriel Figueroa – Art and Film
Through December 23
From the early 1930s through the early 1980s, the Mexican cinematographer Gabriel Figueroa (1907-1997) helped forge and evocative and enduring image of Mexico. Among the most important cinematographers of the Gold Age of Mexican Cinema, Figueroa worked with leading directors from Mexico, the United States and Europe, traversing a wide range of genres while maintaining his distinctive and vivid visual style. This exhibition features film clips and photographs from the Televisa Foundation collection.
