The Lyndon House Arts Center is pleased to announce the opening of Of a Moratorium: Georgia Theaters, featuring photographs by Brandon Narsing, on June 8, 2023.  This exhibition is on view through September 1, 2023.  The reception is Thursday, June 8, 6:00 – 8:00 pm.

This photography exhibit by Brandon Narsing, reflects the emptiness of public theaters during the sheltering of the pandemic.  During Covid 19, Georgia theaters were bereft of value due to their large gatherings for performance arts, an impossibility at the time. What resided is an accumulation of props, dim lighting, and illusions of inhabited spaces. The theatre is and always has been a habitat of the life it provides and has roots and characteristics deeper than that of its structure. This photographic series spans the entirety of Georgia performance theaters, void of musicians, performers and audience.

Brandon Narsing is a photographer who builds calm, minimalist photographs of urban environments. Originally, a Mechanical Engineering student at Georgia Southern University, Narsing transitioned his interest of applied science into the BFA program in Photography at the University of Georgia. 

All exhibitions are free of charge and open to the public.  Exhibitions are on view during regular gallery hours Tuesday and Thursday 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.  Children must be accompanied by an adult.  The Lyndon House Arts Center is closed on Saturdays when there is a UGA home football game day.
