Works by five noted photographers – Thomas Broening, Robert Dahlquist, Linda Levinson, Klaus Schnitzer and Pamela Vander Zwan – will be featured in the Photography Invitational 2001 through March 14 in Union College's Arts Atrium Gallery.
.The show, free and open to the public, is curated by Timothy Archibald, Union Prof. Martin Benjamin and Schnitzer.
Broening, a professional photographer living in San Francisco, uses an 8 x 10 view to make street portraits. This is the first exhibition of his works featuring rich digital, ink jet prints.
Dahlquist is a graphic designer whose work consists largely of “typographic treatments, logotypes and identity systems.” He will exhibit works created with Diazo or blueprint process normally used by architects and planning engineers.
Levinson, who teaches photography and digital imaging at Montclair ( N.J.) State University, uses various photographic applications and contextual frame works to investigate the function of “found” photos as cultural artifacts and works of art.
Schnitzer, also a professor at Montclair State University, will exhibit mainly platinum prints. His early work is part of the tradition of social documentary and later moves into sequential imagery during the 70s.
Vander Zwan will be exhibiting works titled “The Bank Portraits,” black and white portraits of the neoclassical architecture of neighborhood banks. Fragile, beautiful, yet quietly subversive images, they are hand printed in a way that makes them appear to be graphite drawings.
