Three Mormon Towns
February 19 - March 18, 2010
In 1954, LIFE Magazine published the photo essay, “Three Mormon Towns,” by renowned photographers Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams. The photographs highlighted the southern Utah towns of Gunlock, Toquerville and St. George. Unfortunately, the project never reached its potential due to disputes between the two artists.
Now, more than fifty years later, Provo-based photographer Mark Finch Hedengren will exhibit his project of re-photographing the “Three Mormon Towns.” He shows how all three towns have grown and evolved significantly since the 50’s. Accompanying Hedengren’s photographs is the artful poetry of Susan Howe, Lance Larsen, Kim Johnson and Nathan Robison, telling the story of the region and these historic towns.
