2928 West 13th St. Ashtabula, Ohio 44004 phone: 440-964-3396 Search This Site: October Exhibit: Posted: Thursday, August 21, 2003 CHINA: Exploring the Interior, 1903-1904 The Ashtabula Arts Center will host an exhibit of photographs from early 20th Century China throughout the months of October and November. Entitled “CHINA: Exploring the Interior, 1903-1904,” the exhibit is a travelling exhibition of works by late photographer R. Harvey Sargent of Sargentville, Maine. The photographs were taken by Sargent during a two year Carnegie Institute expedition to the remote interior of China. Accompanied by a geologist and a student, Sargent traveled nearly 1,800 miles across rural lands during his trip. Many times the group had to be escorted by soldiers because of the unsettled conditions in the country at that time. These photographs document the places, people, lifestyles and personalities of China during the years 1903-1904. The exhibit has been essembled by Sargent’s grandson, Robert Sargent. All total, the exhibit consists of 49 museum quality photographs, in addition to artifacts and related materials from his travels. The exhibit is produced and sponsored by the Chinese Room of the Newport Public Library in Newport, Rhode Island. “CHINA: Exploring the Interior, 1903-1904” will be on display in the gallery October 3 - November 21. An opening reception will be held Friday, October 3, from 7 - 9 p.m. Admission is free.
