Auto Rewind/Fast Forward celebrates the 25th anniversary of the college’s photography program with an exhibition of works by 19 of its alums.

MIAD’s photography program started 25 years ago with one faculty member and two students. The nearly 150 photographers who’ve graduated since then include many whose work is known locally and nationally.

Their talent is well represented by the photographers selected for the show: James Armstrong, Lila Aryan, Lauren Davis, Sara Griffin, Ricky Heldt, Maria Ellen Huebner, Jillian Huver, Stacy Kaat, Jessica Kaminski, Tashana Kjelland, Isaac Kolatzki, Sarah McEneany, Eric Oxendorf, Scott Paulus, Bruce Saille, Zave Smith, Cassie Tompkins and Jennifer Zator.

“It’s a group show that’s very individual,” said MIAD Fine Arts Dean Al Balinsky, who also was the founder of the MIAD photography program. “We feature the work that the photographer’s enjoy doing most.”

The show includes portraiture, architectural photography, landscapes, cityscapes, and sports shots in black and white, color and digital media. Six of each photographer’s current work are paired with two of his or her student photographs.

Balinsky juried the show with Sarah McEneany, one of the program’s first graduates, and Mark Lawson, director of galleries for MIAD.

With the exhibit is a display of rare and unusual cameras from the Jack and Audrey Keyes Collection of Photographic Equipment. An exhibition of MIAD student photography is also featured in MIAD’s East Gallery supplements the exhibit.
