Project Barbatype 
Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts 
Martin McDonald Gallery, 
Continues through October 27^th

^{For Project Barbatype, artists Bryan Wing and Scott Hilton use the archaic 19th century tintype process to record facial hair competitors, matching elaborate photographic process to the elaborate subject of facial hair. The care, craft, and time required for hand-made tintype photographs mirrors the deliberate and obsessive attention that facial hair competitors put into preparing their beards for competition.}
