To date, Dow has documented more than two hundred major and minor league parks in the United States and Canada. Dow is an internationally exhibited artist and has received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, LEF Foundation, and the Mellon Foundation. He was also awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. His work has been published in American Studies (2011), Marking the Land (2007), Where We Live: Photographs from the Berman Collection (2006) as well as in international magazines and academic and fine art journals. In addition to teaching at Harvard University and Tufts University, Dow has taught photography at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for over twenty years.Dell Hamilton (b. 1971) is an artist, writer and independent curator whose performances have been presented to audiences in New York at Five Myles Gallery and Panoply Performance Lab. She has extensively presented her work in the New England area including at the Museum of Fine Arts/Boston, Dartmouth College’s Hood Museum of Art, as well as at the Clark Art Institute, where she became the first visual artist -in the Clark’s 64-year-history - to present a performance artwork in their galleries.
