DCP Speaker Series: Morgan Page and Dustin Rice
This event was held on Thursday, July 14.
In the tradition of Modernist photographers Edward Weston, Minor White, and Margaret Bourke-White, photography duo Morgan Page and Dustin Rice have traveled thousands of miles around Texas to capture the natural textures and patterns in Texas’ landscape, as well as the stark contrast in the dilapidation that these things left behind give to it.
During this talk, Morgan and Dustin will share their photographic journey that resulted in the Bones of Texas project and exhibition. They will be joined by historian Dr. Holle Humphries and guide Oliver Loving IV who both helped them shape this project.
Bones of Texas will be showing in the DCP Community Gallery from July 7-July 23. Each photograph in the exhibition will be accompanied by placards that weave stories of personal emotion and forgotten presence and absence in and around the remaining architecture.
This program is made possible in part by a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
