from the director
As many of you know, these past few years have been quite exciting for the
Photographic Resource Center. With the development of a strong education
program, the continued success of its exhibitions, and the growth of participation
and patronage, the PRC has greatly increased its ability to serve its community.
Secure in the knowledge that the PRC will continue to thrive, I am stepping down
from my post as Executive Director to pursue several wonderful opportunities for
my family that will take us out of the area. My wife, Jennifer Tanner, Ph.D., has
accepted a Research Fellowship at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, and
I am returning to full-time design (you can find out more information about this
side of me at terrencemorash.com).
As you can guess, this decision was certainly not easy. I care deeply about the
PRC and all of the fabulous individuals whom I have met over the past six
years and will continue to support the organization through this transition (and
beyond). I will remain at the PRC through early October. In the interim, PRC
Board Member Jim Fitts will serve as Acting Executive Director.
On a related note and knowing that our search for a new Executive Director is just
beginning (see page 3), I encourage you to help start the new programming year
on a strong foot by attending and bidding at the upcoming PRC Benefit Auction
on October 5th. It is truly a wonderful evening and an important fundraiser for
the PRC. See you there!
Best regards,
Terrence Morash
Executive Director

Amy Thompson
www.bu.edu/prc/thompson.htm
Amy Thompson (Medford, MA) is currently
completing her MA in documentary photography
from Ohio University (Athens,
OH). She has worked as a freelance and
staff photographer for The New York Times
(Washington D.C. bureau), The Valley
News (Lebanon, NH), several newspapers in
Michigan, and has been a featured photographer
in National Geographic Magazine.
Thompson has lived and worked all over the
world, including North Africa, the Middle
East, Europe and Asia. In 2003-2004, she
received a Fulbright fellowship to travel to
Morocco for a project titled Behind Walls.
For Thompson, this was also a homecoming;
as a child, she had lived there while her father
served in the military.
Featured online are selections from her Fulbright
project. For 11 months, Thompson lived in
Morocco, studying the local Arabic dialect
and gaining access to one of the girls’ dormitories
(known as Dar Talibas) set up as
part of a national initiative to combat illiteracy
among young girls in rural areas. The girls
stay at The Dar Taliba for weeks while
attending school and return home as time
and finances permit. Through her elegantly
composed images in available light, she
shows a world where girls are themselves,
given cultural and economic realities.

SEMINAR: A Review of
Contemporary Photography
Tuesdays, September 12, 19, 26, 2006,
and October 3, 2006, 7pm
Boson University’s College of Arts and Sciences,
3rd Floor, Room 313, 725 Commonwealth

$50 Members/$75 Non-Members/
$30 Full-time Students/
$20 for Students of Institutional Members
Registration required. Please call
617.975.0600 to register.
Seminar participants will have the opportunity
to study the photographers, movements, and
trends that have shaped what photography
is today. In the 1960s, artists and theorists
questioned how the medium was understood
and conceptualized in an important new
way, by asking the most basic, yet most
complicated, question: what is photography
In the first session, we will address the new
consideration of photography within the
larger art world, looking at the relationship
of photography both to painting and
conceptual art movements of the time.
Subsequent sessions will be structured thematically
to cover a range of photographic
issues from the 1970s to today. Topics will
include new approaches to landscape,
looking at artists such as Richard Misrach
and Joel Sternfeld; the evolving nature of the
portrait, with artists such as Nan Goldin,
Thomas Ruff, and Nikki S. Lee; and attitudes
towards constructed realities, both in the
manner of digital production by artists such
as Aziz + Cucher and theatrical tableau by
artists such as Gregory Crewdson. Questions
and discussion will be encouraged at each
meeting, and suggested readings will be
available for further study. This program is
offered in conjunction with the PRC’s 30th
anniversary Auction Exhibition and in anticipation
of the 30th anniversary exhibition.
Instructor’s Bio:

program in Art History at Boston University,

captures Rantoul’s fascination for the varied
and diverse landscape, both natural and
manmade, that comprises America. The lush
black-and-white duotones represent more
than twenty years of the artist’s work, never
before published, and together create a
sense of place that is at once familiar yet
distant, nostalgic and immediate. The artist

$10 Members/$15 Non-Members/
$5 Full-time Students/Free for Students of
Institutional Members
One of our time’s foremost landscape photographers,
John Sexton creates images that
range from intimate and contemplative to
bold and sublime. His majestic landscapes
reference an American photographic tradition
characterized by his longtime friend, mentor,
and colleague, Ansel Adams. His luminous
black and white prints have earned him
international acclaim, not only as a superior
photographer, but also as one of the medium’s
great printmakers. As Director of the
John Sexton Photography Workshops
program, he shares his craft with many
eager students each year.
Many prestigious publications have featured
Sexton’s photographs including Time, Life,
and American Photo. His work has been the
subject of three award-winning monographs.
The first, Quiet Light, presents fifteen years of
his work and pays tribute to photography’s
activating force. Listen to the Trees chronicles
Sexton’s passion for the natural environment.
His third book, Places of Power: The Aesthetics
of Technology, renders in film human
technological achievements from historical
Anasazi sites in the American Southwest to
space shuttles. Sexton will discuss his upcoming
fourth monograph, Recollections: Three
Decades of Photographs, during the lecture.
Sexton’s work is in exhibitions and permanent
collections across the globe. Copies of
Recollections will be available for sale at the
lecture and the artist will be on hand to sign
copies after the talk.

$10 Members/$15 Non-Members/
$5 Full-time Students/Free for Students of
Institutional Members
One of the most innovative and maverick
photographers of the 20th century, Duane
Michals continues to inspire and influence
generations of artists. His fine art photography,
stamped with his unique and sometimes
surreal aesthetic, is a fascinating tapestry
of visual images, written text, personal narrative,
and references to film, literature, and
philosophy. His unique body of work often
reflects the most basic yet compelling of
human conditions such as love, mortality,
memory, familial relationships, desire, and
the interplay between fantasy and reality.
Michals’s work has been widely collected
and exhibited by such prestigious institutions
as the The Museum of Modern Art, New
York; the International Center of Photography,
New York; the Fotomuseum Winterthur,
Switzerland; and the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, New York, among others. He has
received numerous awards including a
National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship,
the International Center of Photography Infinity
Award for Art, and the Foto España International
Award. His books include Nature
of Desire; Duane Michals: Now Becoming
Then; Salute, Walt Whitman; The Essential
Duane Michals; and Questions Without Answers.

Critically acclaimed contemporary photographer
Andrea Modica uses an 8 x 10
camera to create images that are documentative
and theatrical, wistful and tender. Her
book Treadwell, for which she spent ten
years photographing a group of children in
rural upstate New York, is her most widely
recognized body of work. In addition to
Treadwell her photography graces the pages
of numerous other monographs including
Minor League, Human Being, Real Indians,
and Barbara, whose namesake, a prominent
personality in Treadwell, succumbed to juvenile
diabetes, and whose last images are captured
in this book.
In addition to her fine art work Modica
has managed a very successful commercial
career, which she will also discuss during
her lecture. Her photographs have been
included in publications such as American
Photo, Harper’s, Life Magazine, Newsweek,
The New Yorker, Vanity Fair and others. Her
work is extensively exhibited and can be
found in the permanent collections of many
prestigious institutions such as the Biblioteque

50 Photographers
of Tomorrow
William A. Ewing, Nathalie Herschdorfer,
and Jean-Christophe Blaser.
New York: Aperture, 2006.
Published on the occasion of an exhibition
of the same name at Aperture in New York.
By Kate Palmer, PhD Candidate, Art History
Program, Boston University
If you haven’t heard of many – or any – of
the photographers in this new survey, don’t
feel badly: all fifty of them only finished art
school in the past few years, many just a
year ago. The curators at Lausanne’s Musée
de l’Elysée invited sixty-five art schools to
nominate their top photography students for
inclusion in an exhibition that would attempt
to identify fifty photographers whose work
would be known in the year 2025; reGeneration
is the culmination of this “audacious” (as
they put it) goal. It was a truly international
effort: students from Asia, the Americas, Africa,
and all regions of Europe were all invited,
though not all made the final cut.
The curators’ selections are strong, even surprisingly
so. Inevitably, some work calls to
mind that of prominent photographers – the
influence of Tina Barney, Louise Lawler,
Andreas Gursky, Wolfgang Tillmans, and
Gregory Crewdson, among others, are all
in evidence. Color work prevails; only two
artists in the show use decidedly old-fashioned
black and white. Unfortunately, print
dimensions are not included in the catalog.
Digital work is well represented, though
with mixed results. Most effective are those
artists who work with the technology subtly,
such as Eva Lauterlein, who creates vaguely
unsettling portraits of men and women that
are revealed to be constructed composite
bodies without personal identity. Less successful
are the photographs that appear to
be primarily about their own manipulation,
flaunting technological effects.

made geometric structures within extraordinary
natural beauty. Miklos Gaál, of
Finland, creates what appear to be scenes
from a dollhouse miniature theatrical production,
yet in fact are real-life ice hockey
players, young swimmers, or shoppers at
the trendy H&M. Perhaps the most poignant
images in the show are made by Mieke
Van De Voort of the Netherlands, who in
the series People Who Died Alone collaborated
with the social services department
in Amsterdam to document the cluttered
interiors of the homes of those deceased
without known friends or relatives. In these
apartments, the seemingly banal takes on
the resonance of hidden, unknown lives.
Even within this small group, the range of
approaches the curators’ found – from landscape,
to political commentary, to theatrical
constructions, to a kind of social documentary
– is evident.
The catalog presentation follows a democratic
alphabetical order, an approach
that avoids curatorial heavy-handedness.
The short essays give a clear explanation of
the curators’ questions and methodology at
the outset regarding their self-appointed task.
Somewhat disappointingly, they shy away
from proposing answers, perhaps preferring
to let the reader draw his or her own conclusions.
Still, given the volume of high quality
student work they saw one would have
hoped for a more in-depth critical analysis
of current trends.
The Art Institute of Boston is exhibiting
reGeneration: 50 Photographers of Tomorrow
in two parts. Part I is being shown from
September 5-30, 2006. Part II is being
shown from October 5 - November 5,
2006. For more information, please visit
