Janelle Lynch is an American large format (8×10 inch) landscape photographer.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
For nearly twenty years, Lynch has been creating long-term projects in the United States, Mexico, and Spain. She has two monographs: Los Jardines de México (2011) and Barcelona (2013). Lynch's work is held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and of the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, New York, among others worldwide.
Education
In 1999, she received an MFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts, where she studied with Stephen Shore and Joel Sternfeld. In 2003, she completed the Master Class in Photography, a one-on-one tutorial, with Shore at Bard College.
Work
For nearly twenty years, Lynch has been creating long-term projects in the United States, Mexico, and Spain. She has two monographs published by Radius Books: Los Jardines de México (2011) and Barcelona (2013).[7][8][9][10]
Los Jardines de México consists of four related projects, using the landscape of Mexico City and the countryside of Chiapas to explore aspects of life cycles. Three of these projects were realized while Lynch was living in Mexico City.[11] In 2008, photography writer and independent curator Charlotte Cotton named Los Jardines de México a finalist for the Santa Fe Prize for Photography.[12]
Barcelona contains five related series that were realized between 2007 and 2011, when Lynch was living in Spain. Photographs were created along seminal waterways in Catalonia's history to explore what remains after loss, such as puddles, leaves, and litter. Barcelona also includes the artist's writings about her creative influences and nature.[13] American Institute of Graphic Arts named Barcelona a recipient of their 50 Books/50 Covers Award in 2013. In 2013, jurors Charlotte Cotton and Diana Edkins named Lynch’s Walls series (from Barcelona) a finalist for The Cord Prize.[14] Also in 2013, Lynch was named the first Artist-in-Residence at the Burchfield Penney Art Center in Buffalo, NY. The resulting project, Presence, was acquired by the museum and exhibited there in 2014.[15]
Another Way of Looking at Love is a three-year project that is influenced by her recent immersion in drawing and painting from observation and from her interest in relational-cultural theory. In 2018, Radius Books will publish a monograph of the work that Lynch co-designed.[16]
Lynch’s practice has been supported by substantial 8×10 film grants from Kodak in 2007, 2008, and 2011. She writes about contemporary issues in photography, reviews books, and lectures widely. She was a 2012 to 2013 Fellow at The Writers’ Institute, CUNY Graduate Center, New York, NY.[17] She teaches at the International Center of Photography.
During 2018-2019, Lynch will be an artist-in-residence at The Hermitage Artist Retreat.[18]
