Artist as Witness: The 9-11
Responders
EMMY AWARD-WINNING ARTIST'S
EXHIBITION OPENS
at The CLEVELAND POLICE MUSEUM
on
SEPTEMBER 11TH 2011 from 1-4 P.M.
To mark the ten-year anniversary of
September 11th, the Museum is
honoring those who were so vital to
the recovery and rebuilding of New
York City from the devastating
terrorist attacks at the World Trade
Center.
Aggie Kenny's watercolors and
sketches are a rare, inside view of
workers at the World Trade Center
Recovery Operation, capturing
everything from the mundane to the
heroic. This will be the first time these
views have been displayed outside of
New York City.
Kenny brought her sketchbook and
years of acclaimed talent as a
courtroom artist to the site in the
spring of 2002. She used no
photographic reference; her scenes
are seized from life, and from her own
unique first-person perspective. The
juxtaposition of exhausted
dust-covered responder asleep just
feet away from the smoldering pit
compelled her to begin recording the
tragic landscape laid out in front of her.
Artist as Witness will be on view
through NOVEMBER 23, 2011,
Monday through Friday, 10 am to 4
pm. Admission is Free.
The Cleveland Police Museum is
located in the Justice Center at 1300
Ontario Street, Cleveland, Ohio 44113.
