Bulletin

A photograph by Ken Abbott ’80 is part of an exhibit at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. The show, “The Printed Picture,” was curated by Richard Benson and chronicles the history of printing and photographic reproduction. The photograph is part of Ken’s ongoing photographic project at Hickory Nut Gap Farm in Fairview, N.C. Ken was a political science major at CC, and he worked as a photographer for both the Catalyst and the Bulletin. He studied photography in the art department with Ben Benschneider, Mark Johnstone, and visiting photographer Frank Gohlke. He recalls one of his final days at CC: “I ran into Professor Tim Fuller (who was my adviser) in line waiting to order at the Hub in Rastall Hall. We were chatting about my future plans, and he said to me that one day he expected he’d see my work in the Museum of Modern Art. Well, I never forgot that, and I thought that I should let him and my classmates know that it has indeed come to pass – 29 years later.”
