Re: In focus
 Just a quick note on attributions for this exhibition. I checked with curator Nancy Grinnell about this: the Hine photo above is courtesy Slater Mill, Pawtucket, RI. Slater Mill paired Hine's work with Lapham's to show how the sites and people had changed over the decades. Nancy said, " Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} Hine was seeking to change society, not make a lasting fine art contribution." Also, the Siskind image is from the collection of Dr. and Mrs. Joseph A. Chazan. Thanks Greg!

    At “Harry Potter: The Exhibition” at the Museum of Science, when a robed attendant places the sorting hat on a visitor’s head and soon after a door whooshes open to reveal the Hogwarts Express, you find yourself filled with the kind of giddy expectation you feel when getting your hands on a Potter book the day it’s released.
  •   GANG OF FOUR  |  November 03, 2009
    The elegantly simple shapes of Providence artist Lisa Perez’s shallow wooden wall sculptures at 5 Traverse Gallery take on charming, wobbly, bubbly forms with uneven edges, as if they were worn away by rivers.
