Opening Reception: Friday, March 2nd, 2012, 5:30 - 7:30pm

Portraiture goes way beyond the reality of the surface. It entertains from a broader perspective of ideals and vanity. A portrait essentially freezes time, creating a document and preserves a singular moment, a split-second snapshot in the life of an individual.

Panopticon Gallery is proud to present What's In A Face, is a group exhibition on display from March 2 - April 10, 2012 exploring various uses of portraiture by photographers and artists Fritz Liedtke, Andrea Raynor, Holly Lynton, Samuel Quinn, Wendy Paton, KK DePaul, Marybeth Rothman, Zia Ayub, Stephen Sheffield, Hans Hiltermann, Charlotte Niel, Douglas Prince, Ellen Carey and others.

IN THE PRIVATE ROOM
New Works by students of the
AIB MFA in Photography program

The Art Institute of Boston M.F.A. in Photography program was created to emphasize craft and concept driven photography. The program is built upon photographic history, and the fluid integration of contemporary media with traditional, and alternative, photographic practice. This is predicated upon the philosophy that photography is not a single entity, but is unique among the visual arts in its ability to successfully merge new technologies and cultural influences with artistic production. In this constantly evolving medium, it is artists who are cognitively defining the future of photography. (text courtesy AIB website)
