Searching for Sugarman Monday, January 28, 5 & 7:30 p.m.

Ware Center - Lancaster $7 general admission; $5 seniors and students In the late ’60s, two celebrated producers, who were struck by his soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics, discovered a musician in a Detroit bar. They recorded an album that they believed was going to secure his reputation as one of the greatest recording artists of his generation. In fact, the album bombed and the singer disappeared into obscurity amid rumors of a gruesome on-stage suicide.

But a bootleg recording found its way into apartheid South Africa, and, over the next two decades, it became a phenomenon. Two South African fans then set out to find out what really happened to their hero. Their investigation led them to a story more extraordinary than any of the existing myths about the artist known as Rodriguez. Searching For Sugarman is a film about hope, inspiration and the resonating power of music.

Due to the nature and concept of this work of art, wheelchairs will not have access to the maze. In lieu of access listening stations will be available.

All rights reserved. the canvas of war through Surrealist eyes and documented the event with photographs and essays. The mélange formed by Miller’s temperament, artistic background and training, personal relationships, as well as the fact that she photographed for elite Vogue magazine, rather than an arm of the “hard news” media, influenced the nature of her documents of the Second World War. These photographs exist simultaneously as photo reportage and Surrealist art; accurate representations of the reality of war, yet also carefully selected vignettes providing ambiguous and evocative statements. Miller’s documentation of the war began in the besieged city of London, continued over the battlefields of Europe, and ended in the concentration camps in Germany.

Although she was trained within the milieu of Surrealism, Miller attained the height of her artistic abilities when, spurred by the cataclysm of war, she conflated her Surrealist aesthetic with the genre of documentary photography and succeeded in creating a category all her own. Lee Miller’s records of the Second World War reveal a revolutionary method of documenting a horrifying reality.

Exhibition contains some strong content.

Reception, Gallery Talk, and Opening Night of “Behind the Eye”: The exhibition is presented in conjunction with the play “Behind the Eye” (see “Theater” section for more detail). Join us in the gallery on opening night of the play, April 26, for a reception and gallery talk. Lisa Jo Epstein, guest director for the play, will provide a short talk in the gallery referencing the research she conducted on Lee Miller as the director of “Behind the Eye.”
