Jim Dow's photography concentrates on architecture, from the overtly grandiose to the totally funky. His subjects include North Carolina barbecue joints, Buenos Aires tango halls, London pie and mash shops, private New York City clubs, and minor league baseball parks from coast to coast. His work is included in major collections such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Canadian Centre for Architecture, the J. Paul Getty Museum, the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, the Library of Congress, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Recent one-person exhibitions include the George Eastman House; Presentation House Gallery, Vancouver, British Columbia; the Gallery of Contemporary Photography, Santa Monica, California; Janet Borden, Inc., New York; and a five-year touring exhibition for the Smithsonian Institution Travelling Exhibition Service. Various projects have been supported by the Guggenheim Foundation, three National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, the New England Foundation for the Arts, the Mellon Foundation, and the Polaroid Foundation. He is a full-time member of the Visual and Critical Studies faculty for Tufts University at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts.
