NOVEMBER NEO Yusuke Suzuki: Muslims in America 
A man reading the holy Quran.
Yusuke Suzuki's photographs have a formal integrity that makes them compelling works of art, but do not shy away from focusing on content essential to telling a complex story about the culture and everyday lives of Muslims living in America today.

LECTURE Lynn Saville: Explorations in Night Photography Wednesday, November 9, 2011, 6:30 pm BU Photonics Building, Room 206 8 St. Mary's Street, Boston, MA $10 General Public | $5 Members and Students (must present valid membership card or student id) No charge for students of Institutional Member Schools >> Lynn Saville, Night Shift.
Lynn Saville, who has earned an international reputation for her black and white and color photographs of cityscapes during the transitional hours of dawn and dusk, will discuss her fascination with the mysterious nocturnal urban landscape and her extensive experience with night photography. Her cityscapes range from the forgotten and unloved, off-beat industrial areas to the more-familiar bridges and monuments. The places are seen at varying conditions of season, light, and weather. During her lecture, Saville will show projections of her photographs, including her earliest black and whites and very recent color images. A new project entitled Vacancy has taken her back to the commercial centers of cities like New York and Boston where, at twilight, stores shuttered by the Great Recession emanate a disquieting beauty. A book signing will follow the lecture.

The workshop will present two sessions: Part 1 will explore the notion of branding and the development of your unique identity; Part 2 will focus on translating that brand and visual identity and extending it into your portfolio and marketing materials.

Janelle Lynch: Los Jardines de Mexico November 29, 2011 - January 28, 2012 Artist's Talk: December 1, 5:30 pm Opening Reception: December 1, 6:30 - 8 pm 
Janelle Lynch, Los Jardín de Juegos. The photographs in Los Jardines de México explore themes related to the life cycle and its representations in the urban and rural landscape. Made between 2002 and 2007, each project investigates, if not embraces, a specific facet of existence: loss, death, regeneration, and life. The exhibition is comprised of four series: El Jardín de Juegos, serving as her first project upon moving to Mexico City; Donde Andaba, juxtaposing wild plant life with architecture; Akna, anthropomorphizing tree stumps in a nature reserve; and La Fosa Común, focusing on a functioning, century-old common grave centrally located within the city. The combination of these four bodies of work, three from Mexico City and one from Chiapas, examines the persistence of life. |

Threefold: Selections from the Indie Photobook Library Curated by Larissa Leclair, Shane Lavalette, and George Slade September 13 - November 12, 2011 
When you think about photographs, when you imagine them in context, realized in some physical form, how do you see them? Some see them in print portfolio boxes, some see them on computer screens, others see them matted and framed, hanging on walls. Though for nearly as long as there have been photographs, they have appeared in fixed sequences, pasted, printed directly, or reproduced in ink on pages bound together in some fashion - in other words, as books. Whether pocket-sized or table-sized, photographically-illustrated books have long served as an important showcase for the medium. Threefold reflects the idiosyncratic interests of three curators - Shane Lavalette, Larissa Leclair, and George Slade - each adopting a unique focal point in an attempt to represent a remarkable moment in contemporary independent publishing. more information >> |
