(3.12) Do not attempt to adjust your television screen. Photographer Bill Jacobson will discuss his work Tuesday in the List Art Auditorium: Presented in conjunction with “Recent Acquisitions: Photography and Abstraction.”
Photographer and Brown alum Bill Jacobson is best recognized for his ghostly, out of focus images of people. Begun during the height of the AIDS epidemic, the images evoke both loss and the futility of capturing true human likenesses in portraiture and memory. In recent years, Jacobson has investigated geometry and space —particularly rectangles, which he notes do not exist in nature—in natural and man-made settings.
