Nathan Miller: Notes from the Mississippi Delta

MONASH GALLERY OF ART presents Nathan  MILLER:

Book launch and exhibition opening Opening: 3.00pm Sunday 04 May  2008 Exhibition Dates: until 08 June 2008 

Notes from the Mississippi Delta reveals Miller as an astute observer of a culture that has brought us legendary  musicians such as RL Burnside, Big Jack Johnson, T-Model Ford and drummer Sam Carr. In this exhibition musicians, juke joints, barbershops and the expansive landscape of the Delta are recorded in Miller’s extensive travels through “the Land where the Blues began”

As Shelley Ritter, Director of the Delta Blues Museum, Mississippi states: ” Perhaps what is so striking about these images is their freshness. This is what he came to see and it is almost as though he is surprised to have found it. So surprised – and delighted even that he documented his experience as a validation of sorts. Almost a “aha” moment of “Yes, the blues is real”
