Maya: Michael Plyler Exhibit

12 Feb 2012 18:00:00 GMT

UNLV Marjorie Barrick Museum
Sunday, February 12, 2012, 10am – 6pm

Maya - A Thirty Year Retrospective: Photographs by Michael Plyler
January 13 – April 2, 2012
Michael Plyler, a UNLV alumnus (class of 1977), presents a thirty year retrospective of his photographs of the Maya of Guatemala at the Barrick Museum on campus from January 13 - April 2, 2012. Join us for a photographic exploration of the changing lives of contemporary Mayan Indians, as seen through the lens of Michael Plyler’s camera. Plyler's black and white images record the beauty and resolute strength of this fascinating culture. Plyler's work spans the early eighties through 2008, including some of the most intense years of the civil war which plagued the country for thirty six years. Trained as an archaeologist, Plyler brings an anthropological perspective to his photography, and his work is in permanent collections throughout the Western hemisphere. Over the course of years his portraits record the subtle changes and diminishment of the traditional dress, or traje. Mayan culture predates Rome by almost 1,000 years and has endured roughly six times as long. They pioneered the concept of zero, had the most advanced writing system in the western hemisphere, and claim numerous astronomical achievements. Today's Maya are acclaimed as some of the finest weavers in the world.

An opening reception will be held at 5:30pm on January 26th, followed by a UNLV Forum lecture by the artist in the museum’s auditorium. Both events are free and open to the public.
