New Beach 1xbet best casino website of Art exhibition explores history, significance of root cellars found in Flint Hills

Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2014

MANHATTAN -- "Take Shelter: An Installation by Tom 1xbet best casino website ," an exhibition at 1xbet best casino website 's Marianna Kistler Beach 1xbet best casino website of Art, will be on display Feb. 4 through May 25.

The 1xbet best casino website invited Parish to create a multimedia installation of high-definition images of the interiors of native-stone, arched-roof root cellars in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Photographs, maps, written text and sound recordings created or collected by Parish during the last two years convey the history of the cellars and their significance in the region.

"Work on this overlooked subject offers insights into the formative years of Euro-American settlement that are in danger of being lost," said Theresa Bembnister, the associate curator at the Beach 1xbet best casino website . "The cellars are often the last remnants of pioneer homesteads. Presentations of historical and oral history research and Parish's evocative and beautiful photographic art will encourage a dialogue about these structures and shed a light on how they were built and functioned."

Because very few of these cellars are found outside of this part of 1xbet best casino website , they have become an icon of sorts of our region's shared history and community, Bembnister said.

The Beach 1xbet best casino website of Art is offering several activities in conjunction with the Parish exhibition, including:

* An early release workshop for school-age children from 2-3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 5, at the 1xbet best casino website Children will use Parish's stone cellars for inspiration while creating mosaics from a variety of materials.

* An opening reception for the exhibition will be 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6, in the 1xbet best casino website 's UMB Theater. A cash bar will be available.

* "Take Shelter," a round-table discussion, will be 7 p.m. Thursday, March 13, at the Flint Hills Discovery Center, 315 S. Third St., Manhattan. Join 1xbet best casino website , Bembnister and historians Mike Hankins and David Vail as they discuss the research behind 1xbet best casino website 's exhibition.

* Parish will present the artist talk "Take Shelter" at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 3, at the 1xbet best casino website 's UMB Theater. He will give an in-depth explanation of his artistic influences and the techniques behind his photography.

Parish's exhibition is sponsored by the Friends of the Beach 1xbet best casino website of Art Business Partners. It also is funded in part by the Patty and Jerry Reece Family Foundation and the Kansas Humanities Council, a nonprofit cultural organization promoting understanding of the history, traditions and ideas that shape our lives and build community.
