The McMullen Student Ambassadors are pleased to present Art in Focus, featuring an informal discussion between professors from various academic departments at Boston College. With each new episode, we aim to uncover a new perspective on the works on display, informed by research and methodologies in areas of study across the University. Each conversation will bring the exhibition’s works “into focus” as both historic records and living objects that trade in today’s cultural and economic capital.
For this episode of Art in Focus, we have invited Photography Professors Lisa Kessler and Greer Muldowney from the Art, Art History & Film Department. Each professor was asked to choose a works from Alen MacWeeney and a Century of New York Street Photography, and share anything and everything that strikes them as interesting or curious.
