Submitted by Bedford Center for the Arts Photo Group
A new photography exhibit, Different Looks, a juried show by members of the The Bedford Center for the Arts Photo Group will open at the Bedford Free Public Library on September 10, and run through November 9. An opening reception will be held at the Library, from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, September 11.
Different Looks showcases the best of the varied styles and photographic interests of BCA Photo Group members. The show will include about 25 images, and was juried by Frances Jakubek, Associate Director of the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA.
In Jakubek’s words, “In a group show, it is the parallels between images that define the arrangement and choices made. Light can have the same transformative effect on water as it does a woven fabric, and directs the energy from one photograph to the next.
“The trees in John Harris’s Forever Separate mimic the division of the volleyball players in Michael Albert’s Between Points, and create a pairing not based on subject matter, but emotionally defined factors and space. Relationships between nature and humankind come into play within this show and are congruently displayed in Helena Long’s photographs of Detroit. The trunk in Mark Levinson’s Hazel Brook Conservation Area has the same strength and visual direction as the facade in Joyce Saler’s Knox Hotel. “Looking at the range of images submitted delivered an introspective look to the artists working out of Bedford, and I was excited to see the medium be explored from many different perspectives. “
