Join us this Thursday, November 6th from 5:30 - 7:30pm, for the opening reception for Keeping Time!

The gallery is painted a beautiful Benjamin Moore historical color (Templeton Gray) and the work is on the walls. Today, I finish the labels and clean up.  All of the artists are great and I am very proud of them and the show. If you are not in town, you can poke around the special online component (which includes an essay, statements, and all images) and wait for our flickr images to be posted. A caveat, with work ranging from Harper’s 40 x 50 inch prints to McCaw’s one-of-a-kind burned paper negatives, the work is so much more in person.

ABOUT THE SHOW: This group exhibition brings together photographers who deal with concepts of time, duration, and cycles—human, celestial, and photographic—in their work. From its beginnings, photography has been lauded as nature capturing itself and as a method with which to stop, pause, preserve, and contemplate time. In creating their work, each artist in Keeping Time uses a different idea or aesthetic means to capture time and bookend or collect their exposures.Artists include Stuart Allen (TX), Erika Blumenfeld (TX), Rebecca Cummins (WA), Sharon Harper (MA), Chris McCaw (CA), Matthew Pillsbury (NY), Byron Wolfe (CA).

CALL FOR PHOTOS!

The PRC invites you to share your photographs with our new Flickr group, “New England Survey Online.” - www.flickr.com/groups/newenglandsurveyonline

Can’t make it physically to see the exhibition New England Survey at the Photographic Resource Center? Or, you did see it, were inspired, and want to respond artistically? Or even, have you scads of wonderfully poetic photographs of and about the New England landscape?

Well then, you are in luck… we have launched a topical PRC flickr group. Help us test the waters of this new idea in the hopes that we can do it with other topics in the future. Share your work with us and the world! To date we have over 100 photos, 40 members, and an active discussion. Browse the photographs in the pool here and see how to add yours below.

This is an open opportunity for all to share and discuss photographs which resonate with our current exhibition and asks “What is New England about New England landscape?” We are hoping to gather together images that explore a state of mind and a sense of place that is unique to this region. We invite you to post your thoughts about this issue as well as any information on your images (and even poems too!).

To share your New England photographs and get started, first you must have a Flickr account (free!). After you do, sign in as yourself first, then go to the PRC’s group page by clicking here and to the right you’ll see “Join this Group” link. Click on it, read the rules and if you agree, and then join the group! (The rules are very minor but will help to keep the group running smoothly and a joy to all.) After you’ve joined, return to your Flickr page, click on the picture you want to share and along the top of it you’ll see “Send to group.” Click on that, select our group’s name, and then presto you are all set! If you have any issues, first visit these Flickr group FAQs, or send us an email.
