Dec. 6 - 31, 2005

For something completely different, the Soho Photo Gallery will present "Portraits, Portraits, Portraits: The Members' Show." For the first time, the entire main gallery downstairs will be taken over by series of portraits taken by 15 members of the Gallery. Each photographer will exhibit approximately four images and possibly give Cartier-Bresson's famous dictum, "You must somehow position the camera between [the subject's] shirt and his skin" new meaning as the photographers display their varied approaches to the fine art of portraiture.

Pinhole Visions: Photographs by Tricia Rosenkilde
Dec. 6 - 31, 2005

This show will feature the sepia toned pinhole images of landscapes, gardens, and chateaux that Rosenkilde took while living in Paris. She explains that her "cameras" are actually covered food tins that she loads with film; the lens is a needle-sized hole covered with black tape that acts as a shutter. . . . She says, "Pinhole photography requires patience, imagination and the willingness to be surprised by the results."

Group Portrait
Nov. 18, 2005-Jan. 22, 2006

The PRC is pleased to present a group show that highlights emerging and mid-career photographers who engage and challenge the genre of narrative and group portraiture. As we approach the holidays, when family and friends gather, it seems apt to consider the group portrait—a genre that traverses the diverse fields of fine art, commercial, and vernacular photography as well as painting. Featured artists include Julie Blackmon (Springfield, MO), Ben Gest (Chicago, IL), Jessica Todd Harper (Wynnewood, PA), Amy Montali (Northampton, MA), and Sage Sohier (Brookline, MA).

Farah Mahbub: Ethereal Ether Echoes
Nov. 10 - 29, 2005

This exhibition showcases works of analogue photography; Travelogues of Pakistan, India and Turkey, followed by digital photo montages of various landscapes and still-life.
On exhibition are emerging photo media arts. A single part of the gallery takes up a traditional photographic genre, but extends and subtly shifts it into compelling new realms of digital art. Ultimately the images within their individual environment reveal the essence of their nature. Larger images engage with complex concepts and the smaller tend to tone down to a simply series of travelogue images.
One of the most persuasive aspects of the digital art in the show is how ‘subjects’ are able to unnerve and seduce us at the same time. Ultimately the images within their individual environment reveal the essence of their nature. The artist here tackles notions of ‘landscape’, ‘still life’ and ‘architecture’ photography within a diverse range of approaches and vibrant aesthetics.

Luke Swank: Modernist Photographer
Nov. 5, 2005 - Feb. 5, 2006

Active from the mid-to-late 1920s until his premature death in 1944, Luke Swank was one of the pioneers of modernism in photography. At the height of his career, his work was included in several prestigious exhibitions in New York, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and received praise from critics, art historians, and renowned photographers. Widely recognizd during his lifetime, Swank has gone unnoticed since his death.

NEAL SLAVIN
When Two or More are Gathered Together

November 4 - December 3, 2005

Neal's photographs include the serious and the silly. A group of Sabrett hot dog vendors gather for a portrait in front of their headquarters in New York City. Some vendors stand behind their carts in the foreground. Each person has a telltale appearance of years of street vending. The Lloyd Rod and Gun Club features a group of men brandishing their shotguns, ready for a hunt with friends. And then there is a group portrait of senior veterans inside their dingy VFW Post saluting the flag. You get the impression these soldiers are empathetic friends that often gather to pay tribute to their country and trade war stories. These photographs illustrate the profound significance of groups in our culture.

Where's Joe? The Ghost of Bethlehem Steel Part lll
Oct. 7, 2005 to Feb. 5, 2005

Part three of the series is being shown at Lehigh’s, Girdler Gallery from Oct. 8 to Feb. 4, 2006 under the direction of Ricardo Viera Director / Curator. The work is part of the permanent collection of Lehigh University.

I wanted to explore this modern day archeological site. During my initial visit, I thought of my feelings and emotions while visiting Mesa Verde years earlier. Are the walls and structures of Bethlehem Steel, our cliff dwellings, cave paintings or canyon walls? Are these grounds in some ways sacred? What has become of those who were here? At times, I could sense the presence of the steelworkers who had passed through the buildings. When a train passed by, it felt as though the machinery was moving and alive. This sense of mystery and questioning is what I hope to convey through these photographs.

The exhibition, The Allen Sisters: Pictorial Photographs of New England, 1885 - 1920, on view at the Florence Griswold Museum from September 17, 2005 through January 8, 2006, is a tribute to the sisters' artistic legacy, which has been lost from view for most of a century. Although few people today have seen the depth and breadth of their work, in 1901 the Allen sisters were praised as being among “The Foremost Women Photographers in America.” Organized by Memorial Hall Museum in Deerfield, Massachusetts, the fifty platinum prints offer idealized photographs of country scenes, figure and child studies, and landscapes of New England, California, and Great Britain. To complement the photographs, works drawn from the Florence Griswold Museum’s expansive collection of Tonalist and Impressionist paintings will also be on view. The visual and thematic similarities between these works provide a provocative new context in which to consider the Allens' haunting compositions. The installation at the Florence Griswold Museum is generously sponsored by Xerox.

Alex Webb: Crossings - Photographs from the US-Mexico Border
Sept. 16 - Dec. 11, 2005

The United States-Mexico border is a narrow strip where cultural differences between the two lands are blurred and an atmosphere of transience and crossings dominates. For the last twenty-five years Alex Webb has documented this rich, diverse and contentious border region. In this exhibition his complex and poignant images capture the humor, pathos, paradox, and tragedy of life in a place of perpetual flux, transience and volatility.

Ron Haviv: Blood and Honey. A Balkan War Journal
Sept. 16 - Dec. 11, 2005

Many thousands of photographs emerged from the war in Yugoslavia. The Civil War and ethnic turmoil in that country during the 1990’s are captured in Ron Haviv’s compelling and unique record of inhumanity in the heart of Europe. Blood and Honey shows us not only the major news events like the “ethnic-cleansing”, Serbian concentration camps, para-military atrocities and the destruction of ancient cities and culture, but he also gives us a glimpse into the lives of the ordinary people swept up in the chaos.
