The Nave Gallery is small, but exudes a cozy intimate feeling, and the close quarters help bring the work together rather than making it seem crowded in any way. Having seen the Undergraduate Photography Now! show the night before, the difference in curation was especially striking: this show has clearly graduated from college. The fact that Young New England Photographers is peer-juried and not limited by comparisons between institutions allows the show to present and link the photographs in much more subtle ways. In addition, The zine Ain’t-Bad Magazine published in conjunction with the show is a professional looking takeaway. I left the show feeling excited about the state of emerging photography in New England – I hope you can stop by and get excited too.
