As you may or may not know, we in the darkroom have been working with Rick Ring at the Providence Public Library Special Collections since December on a very special project that is starting to take shape right before our very eyes. Behold:
The images in the Glass Negative Collection have not been seen in close to 100 years, and we're getting a first hand history lesson in the ways of the past. Look at this:
Ice skating at Roger Williams Park anyone?
Perhaps you'd prefer a day at the beach:
Pretty amazing, right? Even the double exposures look good:
We are all so excited to be working with Rick and the PPL to help save this collection from utter obscurity and further deterioration. Once we work our way through the 3,000+ glass negatives at the PPL, we will start printing selected images in our very own darkroom, again recreating history and giving life to these incredible artifacts for the first time in almost a century. If you are interested in the Glass Negative Digitization and Preservation Project, please contact krystal@as220.org, or visit the Special Collections on the web.
Jeremiah Joseph wanted to do tattoos so he took the tattoo design class. He started drawing animals and getting inspired by looking at other pictures. He said that the story behind his painting was to create a nice tattoo that you wouldn't regret. The painting took him a month to finish. He was actually in a fashion show which is what made it take so long, since he had to leave early all the time. But he quit the show so the painting could be his first priority. The materials that he used where pencil, marker, and paint. He feels very proud about the finished product since it is his first painting.

Providence artist Joshua Enck, whose sculpture can currently be viewed at the AS220 Project Space, is giving a talk this Thursday at 6 pm on his current exhibition at the AS220 Project Space at 93 Mathewson St. Josh , a trained architect and furniture maker, creates unique sculptural forms in wood and metal that obliquely draw reference from the agricultural and industrial landscape of the midwest. The forms he creates, from a range of materials, are at one familiar an ambiguous, marked by age, weather, and interaction that hint at a narrative the viewer is left to complete. Josh earned an MFA from the Department of Furniture Design at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2003 and was the recipient of the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts 2008 and 2010 Fellowship Merit Award in Crafts.
The talk begina at 6pm at the AS220 Project Space at 93 Mathewson St. Providence RI and free and open to the public. For more information please contact Gallery director Neal Walsh at 401.831.9327 or neal@as220.org. Gallery hours are Wednesday-Friday 1pm-6pm and Saturday Noon-5pm.
