June 5 – July 18, 2012 Opening Reception: June 7, 2012, 6:30 - 8 pm From a submission pool of 270 photographers, Juror Alison Nordström selected the following ten artists for inclusion in EXPOSURE 2012: >> Mary Ellen Bartley Standing Open >> Thomas Brennan Collecting Feathers >> Nan Brown Trailers Collected >> Odette England Thrice Upon a Time >> Tony Loreti Working Portraits >> Mark Lyon Landscapes for the People >> Robert Moran Relics >> Garie Waltzer Living City >> David Wolf Nurturing Time, Life in a Backyard Garden >> Diana Zlatanovski Wrench Typology “We need look no further than the 2012 EXPOSURE selections to affirm that photography is alive and well, more diverse than ever in medium, approach and intention and tellingly aware of its own history and inherent capabilities. This is as true for the ten finalists as for most of the other submissions that could not be chosen. The overall quality of the work is high and the artists understand how their chosen medium can realize their ideas like no other.” --Alison Nordström Read the review in The Boston Globe >> View the Flickr set from the Opening Reception >> View a virtual tour of the exhibition on Flickr >> Best of Show Award Tony Loreti (Belmont, MA) - selected by juror, Alison Nordström Staff Picks Awards In addition to the EXPOSURE winners, the PRC selected two artists from the original submission entries for “Staff Picks Awards.” C.E. Morse (Cumberland, ME) has been selected for inclusion in Loupe, the journal of the PRC published three times a year, and Thomas Ladd (North Easton, MA) has been selected for inclusion in the PRC’s online gallery, NEO. The organization looks forward to presenting these artists’ work in the pages of its innovative print media and through its popular web-based showcase of regional photography, respectively.
