“Machines of Interest: The Selected Works of Stephen Mallon,” a new exhibit featuring over two dozen original prints from the New York-based photographer, debuted Oct. 17 at Bethlehem’s National Museum of Industrial History (NMIH).

Machines of Interest highlights Mallon’s most recent projects in a celebration of beauty and function intersecting with the natural world. The exhibit features photos from the artist’s collection, spanning life on the rails to deconstruction in the recycling yard to unique perspectives of human-made machines. Stephen’s work will give visitors a look at industry like never before.

“Stephen’s crisp, detailed, and beautiful images are something to behold,” said Glenn Koehler, director of marketing and public relations at NMIH. “His eye for finding beauty in industrial landscapes and his diverse body of work will resonate with everyone from art enthusiasts to engineers to hobby photographers.”

Stephen Mallon is well known for his series, Next Stop Atlantic, featuring decommissioned NYC Subway cars as they are retired to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean as artificial reefs, as well as his series, Brace for Impact, which chronicles the reclamation of the plane successfully landed in the waters of the Hudson River by Captain “Sully” Sullenburger. Mallon’s work has been exhibited in museums and galleries internationally, and his work has been written about in publications that include National Geographic, The New Yorker, New York Times, Vanity Fair, Wired, Stern, PetaPixel, Viral Forest, BuzzFeed, New York Magazine and The Huffington Post. Mallon’s work has also been featured on CNN, CBS, MSNBC, and NPR.
