September 4 - October 20, 2007 Traces: Montana's Frontier Re-visited Richard S. Buswell's impeccably printed black and white silver gelatin prints examine the artifacts left behind by Montana's early miners, ranchers, and homesteaders. Traces is the third exhibition hosted at MMAC of Buswell's work. After its debut at MMAC, it will travel to other venues throughout Montana and beyond. It is accompanied by an exhibition catalogue published by The University of Montana Press, with an essay by Julian Cox, Curator of Photography at the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia. Mike Catlin, Butte: The 1970s This exhibition marks the first public viewing of Catlin's photographs of the mining town, donated to MMAC in 2002. A native of Missoula, Catlin visited Butte from 1975-1977 to document the moods surrounding Butte's storefronts, homes, streets, and people. The resulting images capture the drama of Butte's architecture and people, as well as its haunting uninhabited buildings. The vitality and character of Butte's citizens is evident in Catlin's portraits and street scenes, where images of people congregating on sidewalks convey the lively energy of civic engagement in a town that survives.
