Going to this event. UPCOMING EVENTS AT PERSPECTIVE GALLERY: The Perspectives on Photography Lecture Series Opens This Season with… Melissa Ann Pinney Fine art photographer and educator, Melissa Ann Pinney, will open the second season of Perspective Gallery’s lecture series on Sunday, November 16, at 4:30 p.m. in Evanston. Ms. Pinney will discuss and show images from her latest series and book, TWO, to be published by HarperCollins in April, 2015. In her presentation, award-winning photographer Pinney will briefly show highlights of her decades-long series on feminine identity, including her monographs Regarding Emma and Girls Ascending. She will then move on to TWO, a series which represents a new direction in her work. Pinney will discuss the process of photographing and editing TWO and the ways the images and text inform one another. TWO, a stunning collection of ninety images by Ms. Pinney, is a provocative, nuanced visual investigation of the complex, often enigmatic relationship between two beings. It includes short essays by ten distinguished authors on the idea and nature of two. Ann Patchett edited and wrote the introduction. Pinney’s powerful work and these extraordinary prose pieces present the multi-faceted connection between beings that is at once wholly unique, yet universally understood. According to Peter Bacon Hales, esteemed photographic and cultural historian, “The strength of Pinney’s work has always lain in her ability to sympathetically inhabit the lives of her subjects, while understanding their place in the larger ebb and flow of social life around them.” Ms. Pinney’s photographs are in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; George Eastman House, Rochester; and the J.Paul Getty Museum, L.A., among others. Melissa Ann Pinney was born in St. Louis. She holds a B.A. from Columbia College, Chicago and an M.F.A. from the University of Illinois, Chicago. Ms. Pinney has taught photography at Columbia College, Chicago, since 1988. Ms. Pinney’s work will be included in Perspective Gallery’s second annual invitational group exhibit in December, 2014. perspectivegallery.org/
