THE ASSASSINATION OF LINCOLN
Photographic Exhibit Depicts
Historic Mill Building's Demolition

LAWRENCE, MA (11/18/08) - A pictorial eulogy depicting the dismantling of
the 108-year-old Lincoln Foods Mill Building will be on exhibit in December
at the Essex Art Center. "The Assassination Of Lincoln: Teardown of a
Century-Old Mill" will be displayed in the Chester F. Sidell Gallery from
Tuesday, Dec. 9 through Friday, Dec. 19 with an Opening Reception Monday,
Dec. 8, 2008.

The show will feature original photographs by filmmaker Lorre Fritchy. "As a
filmmaker, I saw the visual appeal and symbolism of this event and felt it
was worth capturing. But as a history-lover and Lawrence resident, I admit
it broke my heart to witness," said Fritchy. "And when vision and heartache
intersect, that's a worthy place for art to begin."

Fritchy documented some of the building's destruction with her film crew for
her upcoming feature film MILLIES, but took hundreds of additional pictures
during the months-long dismantling process. The highlights of these photos
form the heart of Fritchy's exhibit. Ironically, the Lincoln Foods building
was previously owned by Sidell, the preservation-award-winning mill owner
for whom the art gallery was recently renamed.

The public is invited to a free Opening Reception on Monday, December 8th
from 6:30-8:30pm at the Essex Art Center, 56 Island Street, Lawrence MA.
(Refreshments, silent auction, meet the artist).

MILLIES, written and directed by Fritchy, is the story of a group of mill
workers who return from 1912 to convince a bankrupt, modern-day mill owner
that *her* future threatens *their* past. Essex Art Center
(http://www.essexartcenter.com) is open Monday-Friday 10-6 throughout the
exhibit, Free Admission.
