Benjamin exhibits photos in several shows

Twenty-photographs by Professor of Photography Martin Benjamin are on exhibit in "The Four Kings" at Exposed Gallery in Delmar, N.Y. The show, which runs through Feb. 27, also contains work by Gary Gold, Mark McCarty and Bill Murphy. Benjamin's work spans the years 1971 to 2007.

In addition, Benjamin had three works in the 2006 Artists of the Mohawk Hudson Region Juried Exhibition at the University at Albany's Fine Art Gallery, and his photographs received a juror's award. The juror was Lilly Wei of New York City, an art critic for Art In America and ARTnews.

Benjamin had four vintage works included in the exhibition PICTURE PERFECT: Photographs of Washington Park at the Albany Institute of History and Art in conjunction with the bicentennial of Albany's Washington Park, which was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, also the landscape architect for Central Park in New York City.

Another group exhibit, Equus Vita, recently closed at Exposed Chatham at the Chatham House in Chatham, N.Y. It included 10 Benjamin photographs made on Saratoga Racetrack grounds in 2005/2006.

Benjamin has been photographing and making pictures since 1970. He has taught photography in the Visual Arts Department at Union since 1979. The recipient of many distinguished awards, he has had solo exhibitions throughout the United States.
