NEO | JUNE 2008
Guillermo Srodek-Hart (Cambridge, MA)
www.prcboston.org/srodekhart.htm
Guillermo Srodek-Hart’s striking image of
his grandmother seen through a cage of yellow
birds graced our first postcard for the
PRC student show in 2002. It is apt, therefore,
that we feature his work again as he
completes his MFA degree at Massachusetts
College of Art + Design in Boston, MA. After
graduating from the School of the Museum
of Fine Arts, Boston, Srodek-Hart returned to
his native Argentina, only to return to Boston
again in 2006. Shown internationally and
recently published in View Camera magazine,
Srodek-Hart has been a long-term assistant
to Jim Dow on a variety of projects in North
Dakota and Mexico. Featured online will be
selections from two series, both taken in
rural Argentina, “Accumulations” and “Animals.”
The latter, a natural outgrowth of his
earlier “Animalia” series showcased in the
2003 PRC Juried Exhibition, is complemented
by links to new videos investigating the
similarities and differences between animals
and humans.
NEO | JULY 2008
Alan Arsenault (Brookline, MA)
www.prcboston.org/arsenault.htm
Alan Arsenault is a junior photography major
in the New England Institute of Art’s new
BS program in Digital Photography. Before
coming to NEIA in Brookline, MA, Arsenault
pursued photojournalism. Inspired by AI
professors Rachelle Dermer and Thomas
Gustainis, Arsenault added a new conceptual
bent to his studies and image making. Constructing
sets to photograph using simple
materials, he thus embarked on the “Edgerton
Follies” series (his image was most recently
featured on our 2008 PRC Student Exhibition
postcard and poster). Featured online will
be other images from the “Edgerton Follies”
series as well as examples of his other
humorous constructions.
NEO | AUGUST 2008
Kevin Van Aelst (New Haven, CT)
www.prcboston.org/vanaelst.htm
Currently teaching photography in CT
at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, and at
the ACES/ECA arts magnet high school in
New Haven, Kevin Van Aelst holds an MFA in
photography from the University of Hartford,
West Hartford, CT and a BA in psychology
from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. Besides
the recent Art and Math group show at Axiom
Gallery in Jamaica Plain, MA, Van Aelst’s exhibitions
include solo showings at the Khaki
Gallery in Wellesley, MA, and Real Art Ways in
Hartford, CT. Recently awarded a Connecticut
Commission on Culture & Tourism Artist
Fellowship Grant, his work is included in CT
collections such as the Wadsworth Atheneum
in Hartford and Artspace in New Haven. Van
Aelst’s constructed, often humorous, photo
illustrations can be seen weekly in “The Medium”
column of the New York Times Magazine.
Featured online will be a selection of mathematically-inspired,
constructed images as
well as an ongoing series of recreated fingerprints
in sites of childhood memories.
