Comment by AB: American farms and farm buildings as recreated, revered romanticized by Michael Gregory. The show's title, Five Hundred Miles, refers to Gregory's exploratory travels throughout Western and Midwestern rural America in order to more completely experience the inspirations for his art. Worth a visit.
