THOUSAND ISLANDS PHOTOS ON EXHIBITION AT ST. LAWRENCE GALLERY

CANTON - An exhibition of large-scale photographs of the St. Lawrence River's Thousand Islands region, called "A Floating World: Ian Coristine's Thousand Islands," will be in St. Lawrence University's Richard F. Brush Art Gallery from May 14 to July 15.

On Saturday, June 2, at 2:15 p.m. in Room 123 of the Griffiths Arts Center, there will be a lecture by Paul Malo, professor emeritus of the Syracuse University School of Architecture and past president of the Preservation League of New York State, with additional comments by Robert Charron, exhibition curator, and Coristine. A book-signing will follow the lecture. The event is open to the public, free of charge.

Coristine's color photographs of the Thousand Islands, taken from the air and the water, have been shown in the Brockville Arts Center in Ontario and the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton. His books, The 1000 Islands and Water, Wind and Sky are best-sellers.

Malo is an award-winning author and nationally recognized authority on the art and architecture of the Thousand Islands, having researched and documented the region's past for over 50 years. His books Boldt Castle - In Search of the Lost Story, Fools' Paradise - Remembering the Thousand Islands and A Floating World - More People, Places and Pastimes of the Thousand Islands, contain hundreds of historic photographs and illustrations that vividly portray the present scene and region's lost lifestyles.
