Must See Portrait Exhibition @ PRC, BU

We will let the image speak for itself, but Bostonist was very excited to stumble across information for the current group exhibition on at the Photographic Resource Center at BU. Today marks the opening of the exhibition to the public and it will remain on display until January 22, 2006. Simply put,

This group show highlights emerging and mid-career photographers who engage and extend the genre of narrative and group portraiture. Featured artists include Julie Blackmon, Ben Gest, Jessica Todd Harper, Amy Montali, and Sage Sohier. Many recall paintings in their arrangement, lighting, large scale, and method. Within their groupings, these artists—all of whom use their own family and friends in interiors—investigate ideas of the self and group and address the dynamics of relationships and situations, simultaneously real, created, or somewhere in-between.

We are particularly intrigued by Julie Blackmon's work.

PRC is located at 832 Comm Ave and the hours are as follows: Monday: Closed, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday: 10am-6pm, Thursday: 10am-8pm, Saturday-Sunday: 12-5pm. Admission is $3 and FREE Thursdays and the last weekend of every month.
