BETHLEHEM, Pa. –\u00a0Machines of Interest: The Selected Works of Stephen Mallon,\u00a0an exhibit featuring over two dozen original prints from the New York-based photographer, has been extended at the National Museum of Industrial History. Originally set to end this weekend, the works will now be on display through August 29th, 2021.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic quite obviously had an impact on our institution and this exhibit,\u201d said Glenn Koehler, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for the museum. \u201cThere\u2019s no substitute for seeing Mr. Mallon\u2019s ethereal images of railroads, recycling yards, and other industrial settings in person. We are extremely grateful for Stephen and our curatorial team\u2019s hard work in extending the lifespan of this exhibit and ensuring the community has ample opportunity to see these modern, industrial works of art.\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Machines of Interest\u00a0highlights Mallon\u2019s most recent projects in a celebration of beauty and function intersecting with the natural world. The exhibit features photos from the artist\u2019s collection spanning life on the rails, deconstruction in the recycling yard, and unique perspectives of human-made machines. Stephen\u2019s work gives visitors a look at industry like never before.<\/b><\/p>\n
