A Journey through the History of Childhood

Curated by Ray Merritt, this exhibition will chronicle the role of children from Queen Victoria to today, featuring more than 200 works of art, both photography and sculpture, from five private collectors.  Fatima NeJame calls this exhibition “our most ambition show to date.” Several panel presentations on this exhibition will be presented during the run at PBPC.

 

The Opening Reception for FULL OF GRACE will be on Thursday, January 26 – 6 to 7:30 p.m.

 

March 21 – June 9, 2012

WYNN & EDNA BULLOCK

This stunning exhibition will include a selection of contemporary archival pigment on paper Estate Prints (black & white) as well as a group of original Wynn Bullock prints covering the entire range of his creative photography from the early experimental work to his last body of abstract imagery; a selection of Edna Bullock’s black & white prints will provide a complementary attraction to Wynn’s work; the entire 44-piece Color Light Abstraction traveling show; and even a few larger (40” x 60”) color prints.  This is only the second time that this entire body of work has been shown.

 

The Opening Reception for WYNN & EDNA BULLOCK will be on Wednesday, March 21 – 5:30 to 7 p.m., followed by a panel discussion led by Wynn and Edna’s daughter Barbara Bullock Wilson, along with Dr. Richard Zakia and Gordon Brown.

 

Now running through November 5 at the Palm Beach Photographic Centre are two exhibitions:

+ The View Project edited by Joyce Tennyson, showcasing work by 70 international photographers that attempt to reveal something about each photographer’s inner life – images that are personal and powerful, yet perhaps not clearly understood, even to the viewer/photographer. There will be a special opening reception at PBPC on Friday, November 2, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., followed by a lecture by Joyce Tennyson at 7:30 p.m.

+ FOTOcamp 2011, featuring numerous moving and magical images captured by children and teens who participated in one of PBPC’s three special FOTOcamp sessions last June & July.
