Teaching Position for MFAs
The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (SMFA), one of the oldest and most prestigious art schools in the country, is conducting searches for visiting, one-year faculty—with the possibility of renewal for up to three years—in the disciplines of photography, sound art and text and image arts. All positions begin fall 2011 semester.
Visiting Faculty in Photography
SMFA seeks outstanding artists with solid classroom experience, a thorough understanding of and ability to articulate contemporary theory and current debates and a broad command of technical skills to fill one or more full-time visiting faculty positions and two part-time visiting faculty positions in photography.
The full-time visiting faculty position requires very strong digital skills, including in-depth understanding of cameras, scanners and other image-acquisition devices, image processing and fine print production. In addition to a range of studio courses, there will be opportunities to construct seminar courses on special topics.

PhotoGroup Presents: Zack Arias Lecture
Hi PhotoGroupies!

Come to the third floor studio in Bergen Hall on Thursday to hear all about what he does, how he does it and how he got there. Bring your questions! The lecture will last a little over an hour.
Check out his work here: www.zackarias.com (his site is under construction, but there is some work and be sure to check out his blog).

Kristen Densmore MFA Thesis Opening This Friday
Title: The Nature of Containment
Dates: January 19th-25th
Gallery Hours: 10am-4pm, or by appointment
Opening Reception: Friday, January 21 6-9pm
Venue: Oglethorpe Gallery, 406 E. Oglethorpe Ave.
The Nature of Containment is a photographic installation which explores the complicated relationship between humans and the natural world.
I believe that zoos and aquariums are metaphoric for the human relationship to the non-human world. Both the modern zoo and photography were conceived of during the Victorian era. I'm using a 'Victorian lens' to explore the idea of how we perceive and relate to the natural world, especially animals. One of the main parts of the installation will consist of photographic images printed on leaves. I will be displaying them in handmade wooden boxes that are reminiscent of insect collection boxes of the 1800's. The leaves will be pinned inside the boxes like specimens. The boxes are made completely with locally salvaged antique wood. Photographic silhouettes and stereoscopes will also be on display.
