In conjunction with the opening of the Winslow Homer Studio in September 2012, the museum commissioned five contemporary photographers to reflect on this historic structure and its setting with works that combined the latest digital technologies with a variety of historic processes available during Homer’s lifetime. They employed both historic, large-plate cameras and modern digital cameras, and a variety of print processes. The earliest method of making images of the real world with light—the camera obscura—is the technique explored by Abelardo Morell with his unique tent camera.

The first career museum retrospective for American painter Lois Dodd will feature paintings that define the places and subjects that have mattered most in her nearly 60-year career—views of New York City’s Lower East Side from her apartment windows; of the woods and gardens of Midcoast Maine; and wintery scenes near her family home in New Jersey. Dodd was a key member of New York’s postwar art scene and part of the wave of modern artists who explored the coast of Maine in the latter half of the 20th century.

An hysterical, off-beat comedy set in Tuna, the “third smallest town in Texas,” where the Lions Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies.

Last Gas is set at Paradis’ gas station and convenience store—the last place for such items before the Canadian border. Nat Paradis is a 30-something, divorced single father. When his old high school flame, Lurene’s, arrival in town for her mother’s burial coincides with his best friend Guy’s birthday gift of tickets to a Red Sox-Yankees game, the sparks begin to fly.
