REVIEWED: The Boston Globe - "PRC annual exhibit defies definition"

This past weekend the Juried show at the Photographic Resource Center was reviewed by Boston Globe's Pulitzer Prize winner for criticism, Mark Feeney:

PRC annual exhibit defies definition - The Boston Globe

The relevant quotes about my series, Imaginary Wars are:

Subjects range from obsolete machinery (Joseph Holmes’s renderings have a lustrous gravity) to staged reenactments of imaginary wars (as strikingly captured by Harlan Erskine, they look at once casual and emphatic) to issues of personal and familial identity (multiple examples).

and

A sense of the cinematic informs many of these images — either overtly, with Bates, or associatively, as with Erskine. His combat reenactments are like war movies infiltrated into home movies and vice versa.

EXPOSURE: The 15th Annual PRC Juried Exhibition will be at the Photographic Resource Center at Boston University, 832 Commonwealth Ave., through June 20. Please stop by if you are in the area.

Tonight, Opening: NOAH SHELDON presents "Miami, Miami" SAT MARCH 13, 7-10pm

Noah Sheldon, "Miami, Miami"

If you are in Miami tonight I would try to check out this opening of Noah Sheldon's"Miami, Miami" at the Bas Fisher Invitational. I'm looking forward to seeing picture of the show online. Hopefully I'll be down in Miami before the show comes down in May to see it for myself. I'm interested to see this New York based artist's take on Miami's landscape.

Press Release:

Noah Sheldon
"Miami, Miami"

March 13, 2010 - May 2009
Please join us for the opening of Noah Sheldon's exhibition "Miami, Miami" at the BFI on Saturday March 13, 2010 from 7-10 pm

"Mr. Sheldon...is skilled at separating beauty from the material world while reminding
us that it is just about everywhere. He makes his quietly ecstatic art out of almost
nothing, or, more accurately, several almost-nothings, carefully juxtaposed"
Roberta Smith, The New York Times, March 22, 2007

The BFI is pleased to present a solo show of Noah Sheldon's new series of photographs, "Miami, Miami." This is not the first time Noah Sheldon has visited Miami. In 2005 he was part of “Good Titles for Bad Books,” curated by Matthew Brannon at Kevin Bruk's gallery. Talking to Noah about that and his few subsequent visits to Miami, there was always a sense of wonderment and curiosity about this city. With help from the Fountainhead Residency and with a Knight Arts Challenge Grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, we were able to bring Noah back to make Miami his study. Since arriving last week, he has been to Homestead twice, has walked South Beach multiple times, has spied the Miami skyline from Key Biscayne, has boated down the Miami River, has visited a local high school and has done a model shoot in the BFI space. The result is a visual testament that is subtle as it is striking, each image a question being asked to this, at times, unfathomable place.

From the Photographic Resource Center (PRC):

Each year, the PRC is pleased to host a juried exhibition with a nationally-renowned juror. This prestigious competition is a great opportunity to view new work as well as see topics in which contemporary minds are engaged. With only about a dozen artists selected from close to 300 entries, the PRC Juried Exhibition is a highly competitive and revered program. All winners exhibit several images each in the PRC gallery.

Guest jurors represent esteemed curators, photographers, and professionals from the region and beyond. As each juror brings a different perspective, the show is unique and fresh every year. Past guest jurors of the PRC Juried Exhibition have included Mia Fineman, Russell Hart, Lesley A. Martin, Jen Bekman, Jeanine Fijol, Alison Devine Nordstrom, Rachel Rosenfield Lafo, Chris Enos, Diana Gaston, Deborah Martin Kao, Richard Woodward, and Edward Earle, among others.

In celebration of the PRC's 30th anniversary in 2006, and to reflect the mission and function of our annual photography competition, we changed the name of the PRC Members' Exhibition to EXPOSURE: The Annual PRC Juried Exhibition.
