About
As a nod to John Berger’s “Ways of Seeing,” this webinar will highlight different approaches to displaying artwork and how those choices affect the viewer. We will discuss the choices presented while hanging artwork in gallery settings, museums, art fairs, and design within the home. Further, we will emphasize the importance of identifying what the installation is meant to communicate and how the physical display dictates how we move and experience art in a designated space.
Frances Jakubek is an image-maker, independent curator, and consultant for artists. She is the co-founder of A Yellow Rose Project, contributing writer to Art New England, past Director of the Bruce Silverstein Gallery in New York City, and past Associate Curator of the Griffin Museum of Photography in Massachusetts.
Recent curatorial appointments include Critical Mass, Potential Space: A Serious Look at Child’s Play featuring works by Nancy Richards Farese, Filter Photo, The Griffin Museum of Photography, British Journal of Photography, Les Rencontres d’Arles, Save Art Space, and Photo District News.
Jakubek’s photographs explore the boundaries of private and personal space and the emotions that bind them. Private Publicity looks at images paired with text that investigate the demanding language of our social outlets. The Sensual Subway embraces the New York City transit system and all it has to offer in its intimacy and delusion. Archive of the Ego is an ongoing series of self-portraits that have evolved and changed over the past 20 years.
Jakubek has been a panelist for the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s Photography fellowships, speaker for SPE National and Colorado Photographic Arts Center, and lecturer for the School of Visual Arts, Boston University, University of New Mexico, and Washington and Lee University. She has taught workshops for The Southeast Center for Photography, The Center for Fine Art Photography, Maine Media, and the University of Iowa and is on the Board of Directors of the Griffin Museum of Photography.
