EXHIBITION CELEBRATES 'PHOTOGRAPHS AT ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY'

CANTON -- Photographs at St. Lawrence University is the name of a new book 
and an exhibition running from October 23 through December 15 in the Richard 
F. Brush Art Gallery at St. Lawrence, highlighting the range of expressive 
strategies present in the University's collection.
	Gary D. Sampson, associate professor of art history at the Cleveland 
Institute of Art, is curator and co-editor of the book, with Gallery Director 
Catherine C. Tedford. Sampson will give a lecture on Monday, October 23, at 7 p.m. 
in Room 123 of the Griffiths Arts Center.
	Since its inception, the photography collection has grown to include nearly 
1,000 photographs: some 600 individual photographs and 28 portfolios, series, 
and artists' books consisting of over 325 photographs. In the last decade, the 
Gallery has focused on photography in particular in terms of educational outreach 
and collection development.  Photographs, more than any other works in the 
collection, are used to enhance teaching and learning in the wide variety of 
departments and programs that characterize an undergraduate liberal arts environment. 
Photographs at St. Lawrence University is the first publication to document 
comprehensively in printed form any aspect of the permanent collection.  Students, 
faculty, scholars, and the broader community will be able to survey the collection 
via a checklist, over 200 duotone and full-color reproductions, and several 
interpretive essays that envision some of the ways photographs enhance teaching 
and learning.  
	The publication of Photographs at St. Lawrence University was made possible 
by generous gifts from University Trustees Richard F. Brush and Cheryl L. Grandfield, 
and with funds from the Hap and Betty Barnes Endowment established by the parents of 
Lynne Barnes Leahy '72, Joan Barnes Flynn '77 and Fuller Barnes '80.
	The gallery welcomes individuals and groups for guided tours; please contact 
(315) 229-5174 for information.
