Artist, photographer and helicopter pilot Hale Gurland welds large-size sculptures in metal. On September 11, 2001 and in the days that followed, he contributed to the rescue effort at Ground Zero in New York, cutting beams. His black and white images recalling Brueghel’s inferno, were shot on five rolls of film on those first few nights, before the media was granted access. These never-before-seen photographs from Ground Zero are the subject of Nights of 9/11 commemorating the 10th anniversary of that event. The exhibit was developed in collaboration with Contact Press Images of New York & Paris and will be on display through October 24, 2011. It is funded in part by PNC Bank.
