2004PRCEXHIBITIONSTUDENTMay7-30, 2004From its large universities to its smaller programs, New England is rich with giftedstudents and scholars. Photography has always flourished in this academic culture,making this a region celebrated within photohistory. In 2002, the PhotographicResource Center was pleased and proud to bring back its popular PRC StudentExhibition as a tribute to regional talent. While previous incarnations featured aselection juried by PRC staff (1995-1998), the new student show honors academicdiversity and thus features work selected by the schools themselves. Students andvisitors alike enjoy seeing the work displayed in a gallery setting as well as witnessingeach program’s unique approach to the photographic arts.Following, you will find short descriptions of the 10 schools that are currently InstitutionalPlus Members of the PRC. These students, professors, and staff use thePRC as an extension of the classroom—visiting exhibitions, attending lectures, andmaking use of our extensive library. The PRC was founded on this sense of communityand it is this same sense we honor here. >>>>>67

insightArno MinkkinenAn Interview withArno Minkkinen has exhibited his work worldwide, including recent retrospectiveexhibitions at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, the Carousseldu Louvre at Paris Photo, and the chapel of William the Conqueror at theMusée de Normandie in Caen, France. Three monographs of his work have beenpublished: Frostbite; Waterline; and Body Land. He teaches at the University ofMassachusetts, Lowell and lives in Andover, Massachusetts.12How are your compositions conceived?It’s sometimes suggested by the environment itself.Maybe it’s the natural slope of the land, or a rock,or it just the light at a particular time. Sometimesan idea just enters my mind. I scribble it down,throw it in a box, and try to return to it later. But,I’d say the best ones come on the site.In a past interview, you talked about tryingcolor photographs, but that they didn’t work foryou as you ceased being an object and becamethe photograph’s subject. What is important toyour photography?There are three things in my photographs that arevery important to me. I use myself, mainlybecause I can’t have anyone else endure the discomfortor the potential danger of making myphotographs. Secondly, I am nude because [otherwise]the photograph is dated immediately, andsometimes I am making a specific cultural reference.Finally, I call them self portraits, though Idon’t see them as such, to tell the viewer that Imade [the photograph] myself.Your son Danny is now showing an interest inphotography. What are your thoughts on thisdevelopment?Well, I worry a little bit because I know what ahard road it is. It isn’t that I don’t have confidencein him, it’s just that I know the pain that he willgo through. His fascination, his strong point, isphotographing people, but he also has a very nicekind of surreal eye. But it’s not my work, whichI’m happy about. There was a time when he did afew nudes, and people would say, "That’s like yourdad." That was the end of that! [laughter]Has the computer influenced your work?The computer has allowed me to revisit some ofmy older work. In working, I have never madecontact sheets. I have always gone right to the picturethat I wanted. But, there are lots and lots ofnegatives that I don’t have prints for. Now, I canscan a negative and get an idea of what it lookslike. Either it’s to keep, or it’s to reshoot someother day, some other way. But, this brings upanother danger. There is a project that Alan Colemanis working on, curating. They needed to seeall of my output, which is why I was scanning inthe first place. I kept sending them images until Igot an email saying, "Stop! No more! We’ve hadenough!." [laughter] Then Robert Klein himselfsaid that the problem that I may have is that Ihave too many images, and I understand that. Ithought it was wise thing to consider.But, looking back at older images has been interesting.I always remember this book review ofJohn Szarkowski’s Looking at Photographs wherethe reviewer stated that photographing at the endof your life is no different than photographing atthe beginning of your life. A painter doesn’t haveto go to India any more, he can paint from memory.A musician can play from memory. A writercan write from memory. But if you’re a photographer,and you want a picture off a tall mountain,then you’ve got to hike up there. This reviewer wassaying if you want to know what a photographer’slife is like, look in his shoe closet, and that’s true.If I want a new picture, I’ve got to be able to dothose things. I can’t just go into my memories.Tell us about your role as a teacher.For me, it all comes back to teaching, with thestudents in both New England and Switzerland. Igot involved with the Swiss students when Waterlinewas presented as a retrospective. It touredEurope, involved a lot of different museums. Itwas at Musée de l'Élysée, Lausanne (Switzerland),before Bill Ewing was the director. There was ahuge opening for Waterline as well as a photocompetition that Moet Chandon was sponsoring.During that opening, which was packed. Ratherthan being with the curators and the people withgallery connections, I always seem to find myselfin the company of strangers. I was talking to afew young people and to the headmaster of aschool in Switzerland. You could say, "Well, thatwas stupid," but it led to an invitation to deliver alecture [at the school] the next day there, which Idid. And then to go back to teach a workshop fora week. Now, I’ve been going there almost eightyears. Three times a year. For me, the work beingmade at that school has provided me with the satisfactionof work being made at a graduate school.Even though the work is not graduate level, it isphenomenal that it is coming out of there.Is there a single person who stands outas your mentor? Aaron Siskind?Harry Callahan?Aaron liked my work. I think he found it veryfunny as well… in a good way. But what Aaronwanted me to do with the work was to organize it.Because of Aaron, I produced this portfolio calledWhite Underpants, which was the start of Frostbite.Aaron was the first one to say, "Let’s get these picturestogether." He did it in a nice way. I amgrateful for it.Arno Minkkinen, Self-portrait, Kilberg, Vardo, Norway, 1990.Gelatin silver print. Courtesy of the Robert Klein Gallery.With Harry, it was more. I interviewed with Harry[for entrance to graduate school]. I remember, heasked me, "Why do you want to come here?" And,I said, "To continue this work." He didn’t wantstudents there who needed to find their vision.Once I was there, he knew what my vision wasand whenever I hit a bullseye, he would let everybodyknow it. That confidence that he had in mewas incredibly important. Remember, in 1971,there was no Robert Maplethorpe, no Cindy Sherman,no John Coplans. I’m not aware of [Lucas]Samaras, and I don’t know Bill Brandt. I’m awareof Ralph Gibson, Duane Michals, and Jerry Uelsmann,each saying that you could make pictures inyour mind. But, I’m making a nude. I’m takingmy clothes off. I know that I have no one beforeme doing that other than, maybe, Diane Arbus. Iwas trying to make her picture, in some way, bytaking my clothes off. For Harry—MoMA,Szarkowski, you know, a grand master—to say that[me], with my cleft palette and all my shyness,stripping naked in front of a camera…for him toaccept that, and to see that I was able to do somethingwith that, was an immeasurable contributionto my start.The second person was Robert Frank. I was anassistant professor at MIT when he came there forfour years. Frank was just a tremendous person. Iremember I was really nervous about showingFrank my work. It was only on the last day that Igave him a copy of Frostbite, and he loved it. Hethought it was funny and surreal. It was counterto what I thought his reaction would be. I startedto realize that I didn’t need to be so classified. Ihad such an inferiority complex about my work,that Callahan and Frank truly gave me the confidenceto believe in myself.What gives you confidence now?Barry Friedman. He really believes in the work,and he’s an Energizer bunny when it comes to gettingother people interested in the work. He’sincredibly dynamic.Thank you Arno.Thank you.© Bradford Washburn © Charles Gauthier © Alex Maclean© Ernest C.
