THE NOUN SHOW | June 6 - 28, 2025| Atlantic Works Gallery

Atlantic Works Gallery (AWG) is thrilled to proclaim that its June exhibition will be The Noun Show, photography by Jean M Bernstein and Eric Hess. This enticing artistic presentation opens Saturday, June 7th with a super cool reception from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. and closes Saturday, June 28th.&nbsp;There will be an AWG traditional “Third Thursday”—the gallery’s friendly, cultural community get-togethers featuring hip and swanky DJ Dylan Jones—on June 19th from 6-9pm. Well, every person you can know And every place that you can go And anything that you can show You know they're nouns A noun is a person. place or thing. American members of Generation X grew up glued to the TV and will remember this from watching Schoolhouse Rock on Saturday mornings. In planning for this show Jean Bernstein and Eric Hess looked at our work and decided a bit of our photography leans towards the objective side of art. Basically they encompass a person place or thing. Hence these Gen X members’ memories were sparked by the jingle from our childhood. Jean and Eric plan on showing work that basically encompasses a person, place of thing, therefore The Noun Show. Jean Bernstein is a photographer from the Midwest who now lives in East Boston. Traveling has opened opportunities for her to explore diverse cultures, landscapes, and experiences. She feels that by highlighting the familiar aspects within the unfamiliar, we can better understand and appreciate each other. Seeing something familiar can be a catalyst for bringing people together. It’s often those moments of recognition and understanding that pave the way for meaningful connections. Eric Hess, an East Boston resident for many years, is a photographer who has been showing at Atlantic Works for 22 years. For The Noun Show he is getting back to his roots which started with photography. In this show Hess will show a group of photos that are reminiscent of one his favorite photographers Elliot Erwitt. The photos have humor and irony to them. Hess will also show some of his travel photography from over the years. He was inspired to look back at this body after seeing Bernstein’s work the past two years. Most of this series was taken with a Holga Camera to keep his style loose and whimsical. Atlantic Works Gallery, 80 Border Street, Boston, MA 02128, now in its twenty-first year, is an artist-run collaborative space for art and ideas located in East Boston. The gallery is open to the public every Friday and Saturday, 2:00 – 6:00 p.m. For private viewing, contact <a href="mailto:contact@atlanticworks.org">contact@atlanticworks.org</a>.
