Tina Barney’s Small Towns<\/em> is a great big feeling show in Janet Borden’s bright and beautifully intimate space. The project spans from 2005 to the present and is best described in Tina’s own words (as lifted from The New Yorker Photo Booth<\/em> section, November 2011).<\/h5>\n

\u201cIn 2005, I was driving from my house, where I\u2019ve lived since the nineteen-sixties, to Westerly, Rhode Island\u2014a 15 minute drive,\u201d Barney told me. \u201cI realized I had overlooked this town where I\u2019ve shopped for groceries, gone to the dry cleaners, fixed my car, gone to the bank, and repaired a watch. I began thinking about a new project to photograph.\u201d The project, \u201cSmall Towns,\u201d is in many ways different from her earlier bodies of work. \u201cI was outside, which is rare for me, and I was also photographing strangers,\u201d she said. But there are similarities as well. \u201cThe communal act of repeating events over and over, year after year, that develops into traditions, has always been the main attraction in whatever I seem to photograph,\u201d she said. For \u201cSmall Towns,\u201d Barney \u201cstarted by photographing holiday parades with the local marching bands, craftsmen whose families had worked in the same locations for decades, such as metal workers, stone carvers, garage mechanics, and carpenters. A theme developed that branched out over six years into discovering situations like county and agricultural fairs, flower shows, Civil War re-enactments, Renaissance fairs, and all of the visual and patriotic delights that feed my fascination.\u201d<\/em><\/h5>\n
