Outside Inside is a lecture on the occasion of Bruce Davidson's new three-volume book of the same name, which contains eight hundred photographs from his archives. Davidson's photography spans an intense fifty-year period, from his work as a student in 1954 to two recent works in progress, a series of innovative urban landscapes made in Paris (2006) and Los Angeles (2009). These three volumes celebrate the development of a master of the medium and reflect the artist's own journey of consciousness.Held in collaboration with The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University, with additional support from the Northeastern University Photography Program.Read Mark Feeney's article in the Boston Globe >>

Michal Chelbin: Strangely Familiar
Through October 31, 2010Opening reception: Thursday, September 16, 6:30 - 8pmArtist Lecture: Tuesday, October 19, 7pm | | Jenya in My Hotel Room, Ukraine, Color Coupler Print 2005 |
" Because I shoot portraits I can say that people are my first inspiration. They are intriguing, mysterious, and unsolved." -Michal Chelbin (from 9/4/2008 interview on Nymphoto) Michal Chelbin (born 1974, Haifa, Israel) started making pictures when she was 15, and honed her skills as a photographer during her compulsory service in the Israeli military. Following four years of study in Haifa, Chelbin began pursuing personal photographic projects and traveled in Russia, Ukraine, England, and Israel making the portraits that appear in Strangely Familiar (also the title of her 2008 Aperture monograph; The Black Eye, her new book, is forthcoming from Twin Palms). The body of work on display at the PRC this fall demonstrates Chelbin's search for those displaying a "legendary" quality, which she describes as "a mix between odd and ordinary."
