A constant in all Goodman's work is his connection to people and his ability to photograph them during the moments when they are most revealed. He captures the boxer lost in thought, the ballet dancer preparing for her moment onstage, a gospel singer in song, the couple who have playfully shed their clothes on a summer day to pose for his camera. Goodman's world is one in which oppositions become dualities-one can't exist without the other.

Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera Since 1870

Walker Art Center
May 21 - September 18, 2011


Exposed offers a fascinating look at pictures made on the sly, without the explicit permission of the people depicted. With photographs from the late nineteenth century to present day, the pictures present a shocking, illuminating and witty perspective on iconic and taboo subjects. 

Exposed comes to the Walker from the Tate Modern in London and SFMoMA where it was on view for the last year.

Being naked is analogous to revealing oneself in an unorthodox way, of exposing
what is usually hidden or covered, due to convention. To be naked is to be bold, overt and confident. Howard Yezerski Gallery is pleased to present NAKED, a show of work that is playfully bold, technically fearless and openly defiant of the conventional use of nudity in art. Comprised of the work of 14 artists, NAKED raises questions about appropriateness, customs, intimacy and privacy.

BOSTON COMBAT ZONE
JOHN GOODMAN
JERRY BERNDT

ROSWELL ANGIER

Howard Yezerski Gallery
February 12 - March 16, 2010


The works of Goodman, Berndt and Angier depict the Combat Zone during the pinnacle of its transformation, and provides a view into the complex world of adult entertainment, still today a lightning rod for cultural conflict in American society. John Goodman and Jerry Berndt photographed the provocative and at times, arresting energy of the streets as well as the personas that inhabited them. Roswell Angier provides an intimate perspective of the nightclubs and their performers. These three photographers created a unique portrait of a time and place as they captured the energy of the street, the clubs, and the general mayhem of the night that was the Combat Zone.
