An exhibition of 20-30 photographs depicting the everyday lives of residents at North Mississippi Regional Center in Oxford will open at Barnard Observatory on January 11, 1998, during a reception from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Michael Bailey made the photographs while a student in Tom Rankin's course on the Southern Cultural Landscape during the 1997 Spring Semester. As part of his documentary project, Bailey spent one month of intensive observation at NMRC photographing what he describes as the everyday lives of extraordinary people. The exhibition will continue through February and may be viewed during the Center's regular hours, Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., and at other times by request.
