The Arkansas Arts Center presents the exhibition Factories: Warhol, Sex and Disasters / Photographs by Tim Hursley, on view November 28, 2008 – February 1, 2009, in the Alice Pratt Brown Atrium.

Tim Hursley, an internationally known architectural photographer, documents Andy Warhol’s factory, brothels in Nevada, polygamist colonies and disaster in post-Katrina New Orleans.  During his initial foray into Warhol’s world, Hursley became interested in how architectural and interior spaces are metaphors for those who inhabit them.  This exhibition tells the story of each “factory,” beyond the structural bones of the rooms and buildings.


A local Arkansan, Hursley has photographed several structures around the world including the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C., the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, and the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, AR.  He has also received awards for his work including an American Institute of Architects Honor Award, an Arkansas Arts Council Fellowship and an Award of Excellence from Communications Art Magazine.

Factories: Warhol, Sex and Disasters / Photographs by Tim Hursley is sponsored by June and Edmond Freeman.

The Arkansas Arts Center is Arkansas' leading cultural institution.  On view:  Andy Warhol: 15 Weeks of Fame through February 1, 2009.  For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.arkarts.com.

Your Canvas Junkie Host

I am your host at Canvas Junkie and work in several media. I design and make one of a kind sculpture you can wear or jewelry.

As well as paint, make found object sculpture and generally will chase after anything sparkly. When I was a teen my dad would introduce me as his daughter with the disclaimer of "You know artists are weird".

Now that I have seen many years of life pass by (I'm in denial about exactly how many)............. I'm happy to be known as an artist because....... life is just weird.
