SUZANNE CHESSLER
Special to The Jewish News

ynne Cohen alters visited
rooms — in factories, sci-
ence centers, schools — and
photographs them all in the
starkness of black and white. The
rooms' visitors are not people; they're
mannequins and dummies used to
intensify the impact . of their surround-
ings.
Cohen's photographs of public
spaces will be shown through Jan. 4 at
the Cranbrook Art Museum, where
viewers will see a style begun in 1971,
when she was a graduate student at
Eastern Michigan University.
Sometimes scary, sometimes funny,
her pictures fall in line with the theme
of two concurrent exhibits — contem-
porary photography relating to the
built environment.
Cohen's works are part of
"Evidence: Photography and Site,"
organized by the Wexner Center for
the Arts at Ohio State University. The
traveling display features the work of
nine artists capturing the sense of the
human presence in man-made struc-
tures.
"Fragments Toward a City," an
exploration of the urban environment
through an examination of small, con-
ceptual images, showcases architecture
and photography talent demonstrated
by students at Cranbrook Academy of
Art.
"My pictures couldn't possibly be
true," said Cohen, 53, a University of
Ottawa teacher whose institutional
settings follow a series of domestic
scenes. "They're a funny mixture of
life and art, reflecting how spaces
affect people's lives.
"They're sometimes scary because
you can't really figure how you get out
of rooms that I depict; they seem to
lack entrances, exits and air. They're
also scary because the spaces are con-

structed with materials that are cold."
Cohen's rooms often are decorated
with the stainless steel and linoleum
dominant in 20th-century contract
interiors, suggesting people through
scale and function of objects. Environ-
mental colors absent in the pictures
are brought into the frames.
As an example, Cohen has an
anthropomorphic dummy in a labora-
tory that studies acoustics, a room
filled with wires and a linoleum floor
to form a vision she labels "a funny

Lynne Cohen: Statements with photos.

kind of craziness."
"The work in the Cranbrook show
reflects more of what I'm doing now,"
said Cohen, who began her artistic
career as an abstract sculptor.
"In a way, the new spaces are also
private because people need permis-
sion to get into them. These are pic-
tures of real places, but we [should]
step back with a kind of disbelief as to
the world we've created for ourselves."
Cohen doesn't view herself as a
photographer in the technical sense.
Because she teaches photography in an 0
art school context, her classes de-
emphasize the technical.
The former Ann Arbor resident
developed her interest in art when she
was 20 and living in England. After
going to a number of exhibits, she
made her career decision.
