West Branch Pond Camps: Photographs by Adam Marcinek
March 4 - April 2, 2010
Artist Reception
Sunday, March 7, 2 to 5 p.m.
In West Branch Pond Camps by Adam Marcinek at the Brookline Arts Center, the photographs depict the artist's struggles and wonders during a month-long stay at a camp in rural Maine
Because the photographer is a Boston resident, Marcinek experienced a new way of living in the camp’s rural cabins. During his stay, he worked for the camp, cleaning dishes and serving meals. Each night at 9 o'clock the electricity would be turned off, throwing everything into utter darkness. It was a kind of living completely foreign to Marcinek, which at times left him uncomfortable and homesick.
"I think there is a quiet sadness that does come out in these pictures," says Marcinek, "they instantly become reflective––reflective of the quiet and calm mood of the place."
"West Branch Pond Camps" by Adam Marcinek will be on view at the Brookline Arts Center from March 4 – April 2, 2010, with an Opening Reception on March 7th from 2-5pm. The Brookline Arts Center is located at 86 Monmouth Street, at the corner of St. Mary's Street and is open Monday – Friday, 9:00am – 4:30pm. The center is easily reached by public transportation
