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  Jersey City, New Jersey, 2001 Click here for Boston Globe exhibition review by Mark Feeney >>
Melting 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.

February NEO
Peter Dreyer: Assorted Works
PRC's Monthly Online Gallery of Work by New England Members 
S. Norwood Tree, 2001, Photogram/Photograph series
The camera eye extends the human mind's disposition for patterns. Human consciousness wants order and simplicity, seeks reason where there is chaos, wants to understand and enlighten what is mysterious and dark. Peter Dreyer's photographs, made largely within the last 15 years with the visual elegance and pre-digital craft of such forbearers as Minor White, Wynn Bullock, Paul Caponigro, and Jerry Uelsmann, reflect both the search for order and the accompanying revelations of new worlds within small spaces.

February Issue of Loupe in Mail
 The February 2011 issue of Loupe features portfolios by Justin Newhall, Julia Curtin, and Lori Grinker. Newhall and Grinker show us places of discovery; for Grinker, these are sites through which her family has passed in its flight from Lithuania, and for Newhall, the discoveries occur in the tundra of northern Manitoba, near Churchill and Hudson Bay. Curtin unveils new meanings in structures of the 1930s; she reconstructs the work of Farm Security Administration photographers, building new shelters out of their images. Vicki Goldberg's comments in Retrospect reconsider the PRC's relationship to developments in photographic history. In Center Weighted, the PRC's Gala takes center stage.
Members, look for your next Loupe in your mailbox soon!
