The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University presents "Made in Poland: Contemporary Pinhole Photography" with guest curators Jesseca Ferguson and Walter Crump.
As photography becomes ever more high tech and digital, photographers around the globe are turning to the pinhole camera - a lensless, deceptively simple yet surprisingly versatile alternative to mainstream technology. The seven artists in this exhibition are all from Poland, the site of much exciting contemporary pinhole photography. Their pinhole images range in mood from whimsical, witty, poetic, and mysterious to slyly subversive.
Long-time, Boston-based pinhole photographers Jesseca Ferguson and Walter Crump had the privilege of exhibiting their own pinhole images in Kraków, Poland in 2005. As curators of this current exhibit, they are pleased to bring pinhole images and the artists who made them to Boston.
