  • Saturday, October 29, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm – Trees: Intimate Portraits

    Scars, burls, peeling bark, lichen, insect and animal markings—come explore the intimate, fascinating, up close world of tree bark as seen through the lens and sensibilities of photographer Jennifer Weigel. This Arnold Arboretum exhibition of Weigel’s photographic series illuminates the often overlooked beauty found in the bark of trees and shrubs. As an artist, Weigel is particularly drawn to details in nature and the unique individuality of each tree. Through her images, she portrays each plant’s history within the beauty, as well as the bruises, of its outer surfaces.

    Jennifer Weigel has a BFA in Studio Arts from Webster University in St. Louis, and has participated in a wide variety and number of solo, group, and small format exhibitions. In April of 2017, the Arboretum show, Trees: Intimate Portraits will travel to the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, DE.

    Free and open to the public. The exhibit runs October 28 – February 5 in the Hunnewell Building at the Arnold Arboretum, and the Reception with the Artist takes place Saturday, October 29 from 1 – 3.

  • Monday, July 13, 5 – 7 – Landscapes: Urban & Rural

    The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University presents a photographic exhibit July 13 – August 6, 2009, with an opening reception Monday, July 14, from 5 – 7 pm.

    By forcing the photographer to impose limits and provide visual meaning to what amounts to a pre-drawn canvas, the photograph has the possibility of communicating a personal vision, revealing lines and relationships previously hidden. Roger Cody will exhibit a collection of landscapes that provide an opportunity to see the familiar and ordinary as something more. The locales are diverse, but the collection of images is united by a commonality of artifice—the transformations used to make the impersonal and chaotic, personal and meaningful.

    Location: The Landscape Institute, 30 Chauncy Street, Cambridge, MA.  For more information, log on to www.arboretum.harvard.edu.
