Holiday Greetings from the PRC!
Dear Members, Friends, and Supporters:
All of us at the PRC would like to wish you very a very happy holiday season and new year! It has been an exciting year for us; we have presented many dynamic exhibits, lectures, workshops, and special events. But just as important, it has been great for us to meet so many wonderful people over the course of the past year and to get to know our community better. What we do with photography at the PRC is only important in that it enriches our lives and the lives of those in our community through an exploration begun by each photographer. We hope you feel the same way.
Happy holidays!
Julie Kukharenko, Laura Norris, Glenn Ruga, George Slade

Thank You, Alice!
The PRC's Aaron Siskind Library has benefited immeasurably from nearly twenty years of dedicated, volunteer attention from Alice W. Hall. Alice told us earlier this month that the end of 2010 would be the end of her time with us. Anyone who has visited our library knows what a special part of the PRC's identity it is; Alice had given both time and books to help this collection grow and become the unique resource it is today. Please join us in wishing her well in all her endeavors, and if you don't know the library, come in, browse a while, and appreciate what Alice has accomplished.

 IN THE GALLERY!
Then/Now: Recent Work by PRC Founders Carl Chiarenza and Chris Enos
Through January 9, 2011
 Chris Enos, Untitled from Portal Series, 2006In honor of the 25th anniversary of the PRC gallery and the 35th anniversary of the founding of the PRC, the PRC will honor two individuals who were instrumental in the PRC's history and photohistory in Boston, Chris Enos and Carl Chiarenza. Besides their intersecting history, lifelong careers in photo education, and mutual friendship, Enos's and Chiarenza's work shares aesthetic and conceptual affinities, including the use of recycled materials, the transformation and abstraction of the image, and references to painting and landscape. This show celebrates these two remarkable artists and individuals as well as the past and future of the gallery and the PRC itself.

UPCOMING IN THE GALLERY!
Jeff Jacobson: Melting Point January 18, 2011 - March 20, 2011Opening reception: Thursday, February 3, 6:30 - 8:00 pm Lecture with Jeff Jacobson and David Strick: Tues., March 8, 7 pm  Shanghai, China, 2002Melting Point reflects over 20 years of Jeff Jacobson's observations of what he describes as "a meltdown period, when old norms of politics, religion and even photography are changing.... In working from the paradox of a curious melding of beauty and fear these photographs emerged." While photographing the American presidential campaign in 1976 Jacobson began using color film-Kodachrome, particularly-in innovative ways, branching out from the black-and-white norms that dominated documentary-style photography at the time.

UNCATALOGUED - Wide Open: Photographs by Linda McCartney Review by Stefanie Maclin, PRC Library Volunteer.Wide Open: Photographs by Linda McCartney was an exhibition on display from June 4 to July 2, 1998 at the Bonni Benrubi Gallery in New York. McCartney never saw the exhibition, having passed away April of that year, although she had been involved in the preliminary processes. "Last September, I spent time with Linda, in England," writes gallery owner Bonni Berubi in the book's introduction, "and quite literally looked at every photograph she had made in the past thirty years."Very different from her early years spent photographing the "swinging sixties" music scenes and Rolling Stone stories, Wide Open is a series of nature photographs, just a small microcosm from a lifetime of work. Published to correspond with the exhibition of the same name, the book is divided into four sections--platinum prints, photogravures, silver-bromide prints, and Polaroid transfers. Subject matter includes garden variety photographs, desert scenes, forest glades, and flowers. The flowers, and my personal favorite Several Autumn Maple Leaves, 1996, are featured in the Polaroid transfers section, also the only color photographs in the book.Read more >>
