Cheap camera leads to gallery exhibit

Photographer Susan Bowen tries to capture the essence of New York City through her multiexposure photographs. An exhibit of her work, "Urban Fusions," opens today at the Reed Whipple Cultural Center Gallery, 821 Las Vegas Blvd. North, and runs through Aug. 15. Admission is free.

Using a $20 plastic camera with only one f-stop and one shutter speed, Bowen partially advances the film between exposures, creating overlapping images that convey the pace and flow of New York.

The gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays. The gallery will be closed on Sundays and Mondays in August. For more information, call 229-4674.

A new exhibit of ceramics, "Going Broke" by Gary Marx, opens at the Clark County Government Center, 500 S. Grand Central Parkway, on Monday.

The exhibit runs through July 30, and the opening reception will be from noon to 2 p.m. June 18 in the rotunda. It will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

Marx is an art instructor at the Community College of Southern Nevada teaching beginning and advanced ceramics, 2-D and 3-D design, sculpture and correlation of the arts.
