    LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Louisville will host four photography exhibitions with the Louisville Photo Biennial that reflect a wide array of style, technique and subject.

    • Hite Art Institute will show “Overshadowed” at the Cressman Center for Visual Arts, 100 E. Main St., Sept. 22-Oct. 28, with an opening reception 6-8 p.m. Oct. 6 during the First Friday Gallery Hop. Directed by Professor Mary Carothers and British photographers Brian and Gareth McClave, “Overshadowed” will feature slow-scan images from the recent eclipse taken by a team of 18 photographers stationed across the country. As a UofL liberal studies visiting scholar, Brian McClave will give a talk titled “Space, Place and Time,” from 3-5 p.m. Oct. 2 in the Chao Auditorium of Ekstrom Library.
