Frank Döring
Coalscapes
January 23—February 26
Opening reception: January 23, 6-8 PM

Institute 193 presents  Coalscapes, an exhibition of photographs by the  German-born, Lexington-based photographer Frank Döring.

Döring’s photographs document the landscape and  culture of the coal-rich Lausitz region of
southeastern Germany. The images in this exhibition  track the coal industry’s impact over several years,  recording the evacuation and destruction of entire  towns, the extraction and incineration of coal, and  the eventual reclamation of the land for a wide  variety of recreational uses.
