Stephen Ferry has been called out of the country on assignment. 

 

rodriquezAlan Chin and Joseph Rodriquez, two renowned photojournalists and documentary photographers, will discuss in conversation format visual storytelling using still photography as the primary media. 

 

Chin will be showing work from the Egyptian Revolution in 2011 and will discuss how he covered it for the alternative news site BagNews and for the Newsweek. Rodriguez recently launched the website ReleaseFromDarkness.org. Each venue tells a compelling story of social importance using non-standard publishing techniques. BagNews is focused on the social, cultural and political "reading" of the individual picture. It is an ongoing conversation between citizens, professionals from the photojournalism world, visual scholars and leading instructors and students from liberal arts, communications and photojournalism and journalism. ReleaseFromDarkness.org, a website using both still images and multimedia, chronicles the life of Jesse De La Cruz, a former drug addict, career criminal and prison gang member, who, after more than 30 years of recidivism, turned his life around.

$35 General Public | $25 PRC Members

richfieldThis April, Gallery Kayafas celebrates its 10th anniversary! From April 5 - May 11 the photographs of Aaron Siskind and his student, colleague, and close friend Robert Richfield will be on display. Join us at Gallery Kayafas [include link] to discuss Robert Richfield's new exhibition, Perpetuidad, with the artist himself and the gallery owner and director, Arlette Kayafas. Learn more about collecting from the dealer perspective and mingle with other art lovers interested in establishing or enriching their photography collections.

 

Collectors Focus meets at different photography-related institutions around Boston several times per semester. At each location, a PRC host welcomes the group and introduces the director/gallerist/curator from the host institution. Whenever possible, an artist represented in the featured exhibition also discusses his/her work, but the evenings are not considered artist talks. The PRC host--be it a board member, collector, or staff person--will facilitate discussion with the group, focusing on topics like condition reports, storage, value, reselling, materials, editions, matting and framing, etc.
