An exhibition of Maine photographer Jeffery Becton’s digital images, which merge seascape and interior views in dreamlike ways, and a show of posters from the worldwide Occupy movement open at the Bates College Museum of Art with a reception at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, in the Olin Arts Center, 75 Russell St.<\/p>\n

Becton will sign copies of the new book, The Farthest House<\/em> (Marshall Wilkes), during the opening. The book features 68 reproductions of Becton’s images; an exploration of his work and career by noted Maine art historian Carl Little; and appreciations of the artist by novelist Deborah Weisgall, Wall Street Journal<\/em> critic Peter Plagens and Bates museum director Dan Mills, who curated the exhibition.<\/p>\n
