Nights of 9/11: Photographs by Hale GurlandSeptember 11-October 25, 2011 1901 Mulberry Street, Scranton, PA
Artist, photographer and pilot Hale Gurland crafts large-size sculptures by welding metal. On September 11, 2001 and in the days that followed, he contributed to the rescue and recovery effort at Ground Zero in New York, cutting steel using his tanks, torches and skill. His black and white images recalling Brueghel’s inferno, were shot on just five rolls of film on those first few nights. As a trusted volunteer he had unbridled access; no media were ever allowed on the "pile." These never-before-seen photographs from Ground Zero are the subject of Nights of 9/11 commemorating the 10th anniversary of that event.
Financial support for this exhibit is provided by PNC Bank. The exhibit was developed in collaboration with Contact Press Images. For additonal information please call (570) 346-7186 or go to www.Everhart-Museum.org
