Cover: "Brooklyn Promenade," Lorie Novak
Lorie Novak is an artist who has been questioning the relationship between photographs and memory in her work for the past twenty years. Her photographs, installations, and Web projects have been in numerous solo and group exhibitions. In 1996, she launched Collected Visions (www.cvisions.nyu.edu), an ongoing interactive Web project that investigates how photographs shape our memories. More than 2,500 family photographs are in a searchable database and more than 250 stories are posted throughout the site. Her awards include National Endowment for the Arts and New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowships and residencies at Bellagio, MacDowell, and Yaddo. She is Chair of Photography and Imaging at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. More information on her work can be found in the collection The Familial Gaze, edited by Marianne Hirsch, or on-line at www.cvisions.cat.nyu.edu/novak. Her photographs illustrate "Refracted Visions: Looking at the World after September 11."
