Links to publicity about Moonlight in the Gates:
Throughout 2018 beneath each month’s full moon, artist Michael Weil spent solitary evenings locked inside the gates of historic Lake View Cemetery photographing the monuments, grounds, and mood of one of Cleveland’s most celebrated outdoor spaces. From frigid, still January nights to blustery snow storms, into cool blossoming spring and humid summer midnights as well as breezy autumnal crow-time (just before dawn), Michael roamed Lake View’s extensive, unlit, park-like grounds to experience this familiar space in a wholly unfamiliar light. A transformative and personal project now has become a public presentation and celebration in honor of Lake View Cemetery’s 150th anniversary.
