Photos shown by UNL professor
After more than 50 exhibitions througliout
the United States during the last 10 years,
Associate Professor of Art Jim Alinder Thursday
ended his first exhibit in New York City.
More than 60 photographs showing
"something about America and something about
what's going on now" are on route from New
York to New Mexico, according to Alinder,
director of photography at UNL's Art Dept.
Alinder said his prints will be exhibited at the
F22 Gallery in Santa Fe, N.M.
Alinder used a Frank H. Woods Fellowship
last spring to take his family on an 18,000-mile
picture shooting expedition across the United
States. The photos from that trip comprise about
one-Half "of his collection, Alinder said.
The Woods Fellowship is a yearly sabbatical
which allows six UNL professors regular salary
and a one-semester leave to work on a creative
activity, Alinder said. NU has no sabbatical
system, and must depend on sources such as the
Woods Foundation to finance leaves
"They're very personal things, but are meant
to be appreciated by a lot of people," Alinder
said of his photographs. All photos in the
collection were taken with a panoramic camera
and include at least one member of his family.
Alinder, 33, received his Master of Fine Arts
degree from the University of New Mexico. He
spent two years in the Peace Corps teaching
English and worked as photography adviser to
the Somali, Africa, Ministry of Information. He
received his Bachelor of Arts degree from
Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., and last
studied at the University of Minnesota.
During his eight-year stay at UNL, he said, his
work has evolved into "some sort of combination
of experimental and documentary photography."
He says his use of the panoramic camera is
unusual because that camera usually is used for
landscapes or large groups or people. .
"Photography is the most accessible art form
in terms of ability to control the medium. A
photographer is limited only to his imagination,"
he said.
Photography students should exhibit their
work if it embodies a true sense of
self-expression, he said.
An artist's work is ready for show, Alinder
said, "when you're convinced that you had
something to say and you said it."
