As a photographer, Jason Landry’s interest has extended beyond capturing images to collecting them.

“One way or another, almost everyone has collected photographs,” Landry says. “Whether it be snapshots gathered into a photo album, framed family photographs hung on the wall, or Polaroids clipped on the refrigerator door, all of these displays define various acts of collecting.”

And, he says, “New technologies such as the digital camera and camera-enabled cell phones have allowed people to capture and archive millions of pictures every day.”

A series of his photographs, The Collectors, is featured in the Griffin Gallery at the Griffin Museum November 18 through January 23. An opening reception is November 18.

In The Collectors, Landry says, “I created intimate portraits of photography collectors, gallery owners, and art patrons among their collections. Not only was I trying to see how people lived and interacted with their art, but whether there was a difference between the gaze of the photographer versus that of the collector and if there was a unifying thread that connect people who collect.”

Landry is a photographer, photography collector, and owner of the Panopticon Gallery in Boston, MA. His photographs have been exhibited widely, are in numerous private collections, and in the collection of the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA.

Floor Plan

Amy Rindskopf's Terra Novus

At the market, I pick each one up, pulled in by the shapes as they sit together, waiting. I feel its heft in my hand, enjoy the textures of the skin or peel, and begin to look closer and closer. The patterns on each individual surface marks them as distinct. I push further still, discovering territory unseen by the casual observer, a new land. I am like a satellite orbiting a distant planet, taking the first-ever images of this newly envisioned place.

This project started as an homage to Edward Weston’s Pepper No. 30 (I am, ironically, allergic to peppers). As I looked for my subject matter at the market, I found that I wasn’t drawn to just one single fruit or vegetable. There were so many choices, appealing to both hand and eye. I decided to print in black and white to help make the images visually more about the shapes, and not about guessing which fruit is smoothest, which vegetable is greenest.

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Tricia Gahagan

 

Photography has been paramount in my personal path of healing from disease and

connecting with consciousness. The intention of my work is to overcome the limits of the

mind and engage the spirit. Like a Zen koan, my images are paradoxes hidden in plain

sight. They are intended to be sat with meditatively, eventually revealing greater truths

about the world and about one’s self.

 

John Chervinsky’s photography is a testament to pensive work without simple answers;

it connects by encouraging discovery and altering perspectives. I see this scholarship

as a potential to continue his legacy and evolve the boundaries of how photography can

explore the human condition.

 

Growing my artistic skill and voice as an emerging photographer is critical, I see this as

a rare opportunity to strengthen my foundation and transition towards an established

and influential future. I am thirsty to engage viewers and provide a transformative

experience through my work. I have been honing my current project and building a plan

for its complete execution. The incredible Griffin community of mentors and the

generous funds would be instrumental for its development. I deeply recognize the

hallmark moment this could be for the introduction of the work. Thank you for providing

this incredible opportunity for budding visions and artists that know they have something

greater to share with the world.
