Saratoga Springs, NY (PRWEB) August 3, 2006 -- Black Magic Woman, Eleanor Rigby, Brown Sugar, Johny B. Good, Mustang Sally, and Layla all come to life through art and dance in a new exhibit at the National Museum of Dance August 11.
The show, entitled "Eleanor Rigby's Resurrection: Images Inspired by Music's Icons," is a collaboration between photographer Mark Andrew and choreographer Beth Hartle. The two have created a diverse series of images of dancers depicting the icons of classic rock music at the National Museum of Dance.
The exhibit fits well with the character of Saratoga, where visitors and locals look forward to the many cultural events of the summer.
“Here’s an opportunity to enjoy a world-class art and dance exhibit, alone with the many other wonderful exhibits we now have at the museum. Mark Andrew has created a truly wonderful series of images for all to enjoy,” said Hartle, director of the museum.
This is Andrew's second exhibition of dance photography at the museum. The first is an interactive display featuring the social dances of the six nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, which has been a very popular attraction for museum visitors.
The National Museum of Dance will exhibit the first 12 images during the month of August.
"We're working on additional images and anticipate new national venues for the exhibit this fall," said Hartle.
His past experience as an innovative businessman, coupled with his instinctive artistic abilities, bring a freshness and unique quality to artistic photography not found in the work of other photographers. Andrew instinctively knows how to work with his subjects, background, light, computer software, and creative frame design to create a beautiful work of art.
"The collaborative process of working with Beth Hartle and the dancers was a wonderfully creative process that has not ended. We are continuing this process with other forms of dance to develop a variety of exhibits," explained Andrew.
