The PRC focused its attention on new and novel ideas in photography and related media. Organized by PRC Curator Leslie K. Brown, the PRC solicited nominations from past and current staff and board for artists and entities that are beginning to garner attention (or deserve more) as well as those that will likely make a significant contribution in the next 30 years.

Picture Show
March 30 – May 6, 2007
Picture Show featured artists who engaged the idea of moving pictures in the 21st century via work that evoked early optical and cinematic devices. Within a gallery space turned theater/cabinet of curiosity, you could interact with, peer into, and animate many of the artworks—constructions that exist somewhere between photography, new media, sculpture, and installation. Artists included Steve Hollinger, Olivia Robinson, Erica von Schilgen, Deb Todd Wheeler, and work on loan from le Musée Patamécanique by Hans Spinnermen. Curated by PRC Curator Leslie K. Brown, the exhibition was presented in conjunction with the biennial Boston Cyberarts Festival (April 20-May 6, 2007), a region-wide celebration of art and technology.
