Exhibit on basketball and American culture

Posted on September 15, 2010 by Staff

Basketball as an artistic window into American culture and communities will be the topic of a free public program on Sept. 23 in Davis Library on the UNC campus.
The talk, by Mebane photographer and UNC alumnus Bill Bamberger, will formally open “Ball,” an exhibit of 16 photographs that he took between 2004 and 2009. The exhibit will be up through 2013.

Bamberger’s large-format color prints depict basketball hoops in American landscapes, from the deserts of Arizona to the streets of New York to the farms of the American prairie.

The program will begin at 5:45 p.m. on the second floor of Davis after a 5 p.m. reception and exhibit viewing. Bamberger uses basketball as a way to explore the diversity of American culture and the athletic experience that unites communities across the country.

The “Ball” exhibit was co-curated by Ann Stewart Fine Art of Chapel Hill and the library’s Public Art Committee.
