Footage Airs in Belfast on Friday, July 20th at 7:00 pm(Belfast, ME) In conjunction with the highly regarded David McLaughlin & the Art of Salvage exhibition currently on display at Waterfall Arts' Clifford Gallery, two hours of films and videos featuring David McLaughlin will be shown on Friday evening, July 20th beginning at 7:00 pm.
McLaughlin, who passed away in 2010, was a sculptor, metalworker, designer, historian, actor and local phenomenon. He purchased the old Liberty Corn Cannery in 1971 and, over the next forty years in his own particular aesthetic, he saved the old buildings and within them, built a comprehensive environment much like a gigantic Joseph Cornell box of art, which housed his many collections of rusty iron and steel, building materials, volumes of books, birds' nests, tools and his own sculpture. The exhibit features many of his sculptural and functional objects as well as reconstructed parts of the Cannery itself. Gallery hours through August 24th are Tuesday through Thursday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, Fridays from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm and by appointment. To arrange a time to see the exhibit outside of regular hours, please call 207-338-2222. McLaughlin was the subject of two video interviews about his work and acted in one fictional film, "Who Will Say Kaddish for Shapiro", along with local realtor, Blair Einstein. McLaughlin also had a cameo, non-speaking role in the Mel Gibson film, "Man Without a Face", in which he appeared as Gibson's misty, flashback father. The two video interviews and "Who will say Kaddish for Shapiro" will be shown at Waterfall Arts, located at 256 High Street in Belfast on Friday July 20th, beginning at 7:00 pm. Admission is free, but donations are gratefully accepted. The exhibit and related events are sponsored by Harvest Energy and Rockport Mechanical, the Maine Community Foundation, Cold Mountain Builders, the Davistown Museum and Liberty Tool, Liberty Graphics, Darby’s Restaurant, Bittersweet Landing Boatyard and the Lookner Family Foundation.
