NEO | JUNE <strong>2008</strong><br />
Guillermo Srodek-Hart (Cambridge, MA)<br />
www.prcboston.org/srodekhart.htm<br />
Guillermo Srodek-Hart’s striking image of<br />
his grandmother seen through a cage of yellow<br />
birds graced our first postcard for the<br />
PRC student show in 2002. It is apt, therefore,<br />
that we feature his work again as he<br />
completes his MFA degree at Massachusetts<br />
College of Art + Design in <strong>Boston</strong>, MA. After<br />
graduating from the School of the Museum<br />
of Fine Arts, <strong>Boston</strong>, Srodek-Hart returned to<br />
his native Argentina, only to return to <strong>Boston</strong><br />
again in 2006. Shown internationally and<br />
recently published in View Camera magazine,<br />
Srodek-Hart has been a long-term assistant<br />
to Jim Dow on a variety of projects in North<br />
Dakota and Mexico. Featured online will be<br />
selections from two series, both taken in<br />
rural Argentina, “Accumulations” and “Animals.”<br />
The latter, a natural outgrowth of his<br />
earlier “Animalia” series showcased in the<br />
2003 PRC Juried Exhibition, is complemented<br />
by links to new videos investigating the<br />
similarities and differences between animals<br />
and humans.<br />
NEO | JULY <strong>2008</strong><br />
Alan Arsenault (Brookline, MA)<br />
www.prcboston.org/arsenault.htm<br />
Alan Arsenault is a junior photography major<br />
in the New England Institute of Art’s new<br />
BS program in Digital Photography. Before<br />
coming to NEIA in Brookline, MA, Arsenault<br />
pursued photojournalism. Inspired by AI<br />
professors Rachelle Dermer and Thomas<br />
Gustainis, Arsenault added a new conceptual<br />
bent to his studies and image making. Constructing<br />
sets to photograph using simple<br />
materials, he thus embarked on the “Edgerton<br />
Follies” series (his image was most recently<br />
featured on our <strong>2008</strong> PRC Student Exhibition<br />
postcard and poster). Featured online will<br />
be other images from the “Edgerton Follies”<br />
series as well as examples of his other<br />
humorous constructions.<br />
NEO | AUGUST <strong>2008</strong><br />
Kevin Van Aelst (New Haven, CT)<br />

Currently teaching photography in CT<br />
at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, and at<br />
the ACES/ECA arts magnet high school in<br />
New Haven, Kevin Van Aelst holds an MFA in<br />
photography from the University of Hartford,<br />
West Hartford, CT and a BA in psychology<br />
from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. Besides<br />
the recent Art and Math group show at Axiom<br />
Gallery in Jamaica Plain, MA, Van Aelst’s exhibitions<br />
include solo showings at the Khaki<br />
Gallery in Wellesley, MA, and Real Art Ways in<br />
Hartford, CT. Recently awarded a Connecticut<br />
Commission on Culture & Tourism Artist<br />
Fellowship Grant, his work is included in CT<br />
collections such as the Wadsworth Atheneum<br />
in Hartford and Artspace in New Haven. Van<br />
Aelst’s constructed, often humorous, photo<br />
illustrations can be seen weekly in “The Medium”<br />
column of the New York Times Magazine.<br />
Featured online will be a selection of mathematically-inspired,<br />
constructed images as<br />
well as an ongoing series of recreated fingerprints<br />
in sites of childhood memories.<br />
