From May 26 to July 4, the Kent State University School of Art’s Downtown Gallery, located at 141 E. Main St. in Kent, will feature “Reframing the Real Good-looking Boy,” with photographs by Albert Reischuck, a Kent State faculty member in art history. The exhibit, subtitled “Images on Raising an Autistic Child,” is free and open to the public.
The collection consists of photographs of Reischuck’s son, Alec, including ones that Reischuck may have been hesitant to share in the past.
“I usually edit out the pictures that clearly reveal his autism before posting anything for friends and family to see on social media,” Reischuck explains. “The ‘reframing’ refers to my attempts to include many sides of Alec that I had previously chosen to edit from the visual narratives of our lives and his.”
Gallery hours are Monday to Wednesday, 9:30 a.m.-6 p.m.; Thursday, 9:30 a.m.-8 p.m.; Friday, 9:30 a.m.-7 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; and Sunday, noon-5 p.m.
