“History repeats itself, but the special call of art is to record that which has passed away and is never reproduced. It is utterly gone out of the world as the song of a destroyed wild bird.”   - Joseph Conrad

A popular television station in Mexico, which runs movies 24/7, repeats the phrase Buenas Historias at every possible opportunity.  As visitors immersed in another culture, we were constantly confronted with images of histories of people, places, and things revealing one good story after another.  This photo-based exhibition will feature the work of four artists who approach photography in radically different ways. 

The ASMS Gallery is now showing Buenas Historias. This exhibit showcases work by Pinky Bass, Douglas Baulos, Carolyn DeMeritt and McLeod Turner. 

The gallery is located in the Bedsole Building on the school’s campus and is free and open to the public.

The gallery is managed by artist and ASMS art instructor Orren Kickliter.  Funding for the Gallery is made possible through a grant from the Arts Initiative of the Undesignated Community Endowment of The Community Foundation of South Alabama. The gallery brings tangible academic and artistic content that will add to and support the excellent academic program at ASMS.
