EXHIBITION & LECTURE
Jeff Jacobson: Melting Point
Exhibition in the PRC Gallery: January 18, 2011 - March 20, 2011 Lecture with Jeff Jacobson and David Strick: Tuesday, March 8, 7 pm BU Photonics Building, Room 206 8 St. Mary's Street, Boston Click here for more information and to register >> 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.
