David Haislip:

Artists at The Aldrich

October 15, 2006 — January 21, 2007
Exhibition Reception: Sunday, October 15, 2006; 3 to 6 pm

Local photographer, instrument maker, and a member of the Museum's crew of preparators, David Haislip has been taking pictures of artists installing work at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum for the past seven years. His unique, behind-the-scenes perspective has allowed him to take intimate and informal photographs of individuals who have exhibited at the Museum during that time.
