michael hintlian
Starting in 1997, Michael Hintlian began
photographing the 5,000 men and women
who worked on the Big Dig. Hintlian’s
work was selected for three PRC juried
exhibitions (1996, 1997, 2000). Since
his last appearance at the PRC, he has
shown work in galleries in Boston and
New York City and is represented by Panopticon
Gallery (Boston, MA). In 2004,
his documentary book on Boston’s Big
Dig, Digging, was published. His work
has been subject of features in American
Photo magazine and magazines in Europe
and Asia. He is a founding member of
Group M35, a collaborative photo agency
based in New York City. The Boston
Public Library’s Print Department recently
acquired 30 of Hintlian’s Big Dig prints
and will feature them in this coming fall
when their new gallery at Copley opens.
His website is www.hintlian.net.

liz linder
Liz Linder has continued to work on a
diverse group of projects. In 2005 she
showed a then-boyfriend-inspired look
at the American male, entitled The Boyfriend
Project, at Samson Projects (Boston,
MA). In 2003, she examined our cultural
reaction to September 11th in a muchacclaimed
web-based project entitled
God Bless America. A series of these images
were shown and collected in Europe.
Linder’s work regularly appears in The
Boston Globe, The Phoenix, and other local
publications. In between artistic endeavors,
she’s helped to launch Phototropos,
an animated photography company, and
continued earning her bread and butter
shooting musicians, corporate-types,
occasions, and social projects that move
her. Her projects have been featured in
publications such as The New York Times
and People Magazine. Linder continues
doing what she does best in everything
from personal to commercial work: uncovering
what already exists, in unexpected
ways. Her website is www.lizlinder.com.
