An exhibit of Henry Horenstien's photographs will be at the O. Winston Link Museum in Roanoke Virginia from June 15 through September 4. Here is the press release about the exhibit:
The Photographs in Show serve as an homage to the neo-burlesque resurgence of the last several years. The noir-styled images are variously amusing, sexy, and harsh true reflections of the world they document. The project covers a myriad of burlesque-style performance, including drag, fetish, and sideshow. Horenstein says, These performers are todays modern version of the starving artist living on the margins and delivering their personal expression through song, dance, comedy, and narrative charged sexually and often highly political.
