Save the date! In Response to Place coming to the Boston Public Library in July

In Response To Place is an exhibition of extraordinary photographs exploring and celebrating the natural world will appear at the Boston Public Library from July 16 through August 31, 2005. An exciting opening event on Friday July 15th will give TNC friends a chance for a private preview of the exhibit and a celebration in the Boston Public Library’s Italian garden. Save the date for a fun-filled summer evening of music, fine food and surprises!

 

In creating the exhibit to mark The Nature Conservancy’s 50th anniversary, curator Andy Grundberg invited twelve visual artists to visit one of the Conservancy’s Last Great Places and record their response to that place on film. The exhibition’s range of styles, from landscape photography to portraiture and photojournalism, illustrate the rich and complex splendor of these places, as well as the diversity of artists represented. 

 

The featured artists include those who are famous for their landscape photographs – such as Terry Evans and Richard Misrach – those who have achieved wide followings for their portraiture – like Annie Leibovitz and William Wegman – and those who are best known for their work on the cutting edge of the art world, such as Sally Mann and Lee Friedlander. 

 

The June issue of Conservation Across the Commonwealth (606kb PDF) includes detailed information on the opening event, lectures and programs surrounding the exhibit. For further information, please call Angela Ellis at 617-227-7017 x 307.

The Massachusetts Chapter is also featuring Preserving Place: Reflections of Massachusetts, a juried sister exhibit to In Response to Place. On May 19th, Andy Grundberg and Blake Fitch (of the Griffin Museum) chose five talented artists to have their work featured in this exhibit: Tom Zetterstrom, Brian Jolley, Leslie Bartlett, Tom Warhol, and Vanessa Earl.
