BROOKLYN, NY.- Janet Borden Inc. announced an exciting new exhibition of work by Jim Dow.

Using an 8×10” view camera, Dow painstakingly photographs the light, the atmosphere, the colors, of international dining options. The alluring glow of neon beckons. His signature style elevates and ennobles these quirky locales. He has also eaten in most of them, being a connoisseur and fan of barbecue, tacos, ice cream, and all other foods encountered in his travels.

Long exposures allow Dow to illuminate the scene in a way that articulates every detail. This is definitely not the same as an iPhone snap. Dow’s images capture a sense of place, a sense of longing, and a sense of excitement.

Jim Dow was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1942. He lives in Belmont, Massachusetts. Dow holds both a BFA and an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. Jim Dow has a both an encyclopedic interest and appetite for photographs. His typologies include baseball and sports stadiums, taco trucks, barbecue, New York City social clubs, Uruguay, the buildings of university and secondary schools. Dow was part of the legendary “Court House” project, initiated by Seagram’s in honor of the U.S. Bicentennial.

All of his work is made from 8×10” analog negatives, whether in black and white or color. His work is collected by virtually all major American museums including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Eastman Museum, Rochester; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and more. His most recent monograph was American Studies.
