Christina Laboissonniere, Emerson

Here is what Christina has to say about her work:

These photographs are from a recent body of work titled: Buttons, a study of form and function.
As a photographer I often find myself fascinated by common, mundane objects and their ability to be transformed through the art of photography. By examining the form, texture, and shape of an object it can be changed into an entirely different thing, no longer a utilitarian object, but a work of art. This project is a study, a typology, of the simple button in its various forms, textures and shapes.

Here is what Jessica has to say about her work:

Jessica challenges her audience with her explorations in tangible installations, where the audiences’ interaction contributes to the final product. Her experimentation with video and ambiguous, abstract photographs of the human body, all revolve around the examination of the human mind. While overstepping the traditional limitations and boundaries of photography she encourages her audience to question their ideas about a photograph and combine the two-dimensional object with other mediums.

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals: A View of Other Windows by Neal Casal (Hardcover, Abrams Image, 160 pages)

A View of Other Windows is a collection of photographs that centers around the band Ryan Adams and The Cardinals. The images were taken by The Cardinal’s lead guitarist, Neal Casal, chronicling the short-lived time frame in which this group of musicians came together in a whirlwind musical effort lead by Ryan Adams, from approximately 2004-2009. The band is currently on hiatus following Ryan Adam’s decision to take time off from The Cardinals and the unfortunate passing of bassist Chris Feinstein in December, 2009. These photographs offer a rare glimpse into the lives of contemporary musicians, intimately portrayed to the viewer through the eyes of an insider.

The book is dominated by carefully composed snapshots in black and white interspersed with text written by the band members, though the occasional color photograph does make appearances increasingly towards the end of the sequence. The traditional black and white images have an incredible ability to withstand timestamp, seemingly transporting the viewer back to the rock and roll eras of preceding generations. The color photographs feel very different, more contemporary, but grounding in a way that lacks the mystery and drama of the black and white. Either way, the images complicate the viewer’s perception of a typical band photograph, moving far past a strict documentation of onstage musical endeavors and posed album covers. These photographs capture what it means to be at the heart of a band, a tour, a friendship and a legacy, as could only be seen by a member. They chronicle the in-between; not the climactic two hour performances but the waiting that consumes much of a musician’s life. They document the thinking, the writing, the practicing, the set-up and just what it is to hang out and be along for the ride across the globe. Often, the subject of a photograph is just as surprised as the outside viewer when looking back upon a moment captured on film. These are moments sealed from the real-life blur of space and time, made solid and tangible by a musician equally as talented in photography, attempting to piece together the past five years of his life in stills.

Michelle Lamunière, John R. and Barbara Robinson Family Assistant Curator of Photography, Harvard Art Museum/Fogg Museum

This compelling photograph of a mother and her twins is the basis for a larger discussion of Harvard’s Social Museum, a compilation of photographs and graphic material established in 1903 to collect the social experience of the world as material for university teaching. The image prompts an exploration of the early use of photography as a social document and its role in educating students about social problems and the solutions ­- such as the provision of pasteurized milk ­- developed to ameliorate them.

Southerly by Dan Plunkett (Hardcover, Ophidia Press, 159 pages)

Dan Plunkett’s Southerly is a collection of photographs created over forty years, a documentation of the American southern culture in which he was brought up. Equally as unique as they are generic, the images capture the inherent contradiction of life in the south. As described in the forward by his son, Ryan Plunkett, the work documents “that unquantifiable southern grace, that delicate mixture of sense and senselessness”. Gritty, black and white photographs exhibiting a healthy amount of film grain, the carefully considered compositions manage to have a snapshot quality that lends itself to the depiction of the subject matter. The book combines straightforward, simple portraiture with more complicated, environmental portraiture, periodically breaking up the images with quotes expanding upon both the nature of photography and southern culture.

At first glance, the photographs appear to depict a seemingly uncomplicated lifestyle. Small, insular towns, made up largely by a population of farming and blue collar citizens- timeless, in a way. Upon closer inspection, the invasion of contemporary culture becomes evident and complicated relationships emerge between people, both in their relationships to each other and to their environment. Traditional stereotypes of southern culture are at once reinforced and broken as the viewer begins to identify individuals in a sea of generic characters. Facade begins to meld with reality as these southerners embody a lifestyle indoctrinated at birth. Life in the south can only be described as life in the south; it is the way it is, and Plunkett recognizes this as only a native can.

The bulk of the book is dominated by the people- their vices and virtues, the times of violence, the times of serenity and everything in between. The book is punctuated, however, with two scenic photographs, the only two images not containing people. An interesting editorial choice, it makes sure that no one individual can sum up the culture and enforces the importance of place in the shaping and development of a lifestyle. Though the American south is perhaps a more than well traversed subject, the book is nonetheless intriguing in its juxtaposition of images and text, and the photographs are poignantly enlightening.

Lincoln Russell

Adventures in Burgundy (Hardcover, 168 pages). Pinot Press.

In his book Adventures in Burgundy, long time PRC member and BU alumni Lincoln Russell chronicles the culture and lifestyle characterized by the Burgundy region of eastern France. Known for its wine industry, Burgundy is portrayed as a place of beauty, hospitality and history. Adventures in Burgundy introduces the viewer to every aspect of this place and describes its overall cycles of existence.

Possessing an interest in wine since childhood, Russell has compiled a collection of photographs that both informs the viewer of the process of wine production, as well captures the essence of wine and the unconditional admiration that is characteristic of its makers. The photographs describe everything from the vineyards on which the grapes are grown, to the people who harvest them, to the cellars in which the wine is aged, to the people who enjoy the finished product. The attention to detail evident in the photographs provides deeper insight to the true nature of Burgundy. Adventures in Burgundy is an invitation to experience and enjoy the Burgundian way of life.

Alfred Buellesbach and Marcus Cowper

Battlescapes (Hardcover, 224 pages) Osprey Publishing

Battlescapes, a new publication by Osprey, is a collection of photographs and essays that survey concurrent landscapes that were once battlefields. Using a 6×17 format camera, Buellesbach photographed grounds with history that spans over two thousand years, from the battle of Alesia in 52 BC to Waterloo in 1815.  The thirty-four battlescapes surveyed are located in twelve European countries.

The basic, straightforward nature of these contemporary landscapes lend to the viewer’s impulse to imagine the horrors that once took place on these grounds. Time has caused the signs of previous battles to vanish; only man-made monuments or fortresses suggest the specifications. One is encouraged to conceptualize the location’s historical events. These beautiful, untouched landscapes were at one point blood stained and littered with bodies. The contrast of the present beauty with previous ugliness makes for an interesting allusion to the overall cycles of history.

Accompanying the panoramic photographs in Battlescapes are writings and other images of historical attractions and geological sites significant to each particular battle that informs the viewer of the details of the landscape’s preoccuring incidents. War is a significant component of a country’s history and identity, and Battlescapes brings further awareness to that. The photographs spark remembrance of the events and locations where these hostilities transpired.
