Venice Arts will present the official MOPLA associated exhibition from April 9–May 11. McCulloh and Straight will hold a free special public presentation and reading on Wednesday, April 18th, at 7pm. The exhibition arises from a continuing series that McCulloh and Straight publish on television station KCET’s website entitled “Notes of a Native Daughter.” At the Venice Arts Gallery, McCulloh’s large-scale photographs will be paired with Straight telling the tales. Visitors can use cell phones to hear audio narratives accompanying the images. The exhibition will also feature McCulloh’s recent project Dream Street.
