Abstract:
The photographs of John Menapace of Durham will be exhibited this fall in the Museum’s North Carolina Gallery. The series of black and white photographs show public places in urban areas which are in a state of decay or disrepair. Despite the situations and the lack of humans, the photographs seem to capture the beauty and elegance and show the passage of time. Menapace has been the design and production manager for Duke University Press in Durham for nearly 30 years.
