DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHER CAROLE GALLAGHER TO DISCUSS
`EXPLOSIVE' EXHIBITION AT DUKE UNIVERSITY MUSEUM


     DURHAM, N.C. -- Documentary photographer Carole Gallagher
will discuss her work "American Ground Zero: The Secrect Nuclear
War," currently on exhibit at the Duke University Museum of Art,
Friday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m.
     Sponsored by the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke
University, the free lecture will be held in the museum's north
gallery on the East Campus.
     "American Ground Zero: The Secret Nuclear War" includes
approximately 50 black-and-white documentary photographs and text
that will remain on display at DUMA through Oct. 30.  These works
were created during Gallagher's decade-long collection of
portraits and interviews of people whose lives were affected by
above-ground atom bomb testing in the United States.
     The touring exhibition was organized by the International
Center of Photography in New York City.
     A successful New York photographer, Gallagher became
interested in nuclear issues in 1979 when President Carter
declassified files from the Atomic Energy Commission during
Congressional hearings brought on by widely publicized class-
action lawsuits against the government.  This was the year of the
Three Mile Island accident.  By 1983, Gallagher had moved to St.
George, Utah, to begin her photographic documentation and oral
history.
