Princeton Photographer Is New Anne Reeves Artist-In-Residence

PRINCETON, NJ — The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) recently announced photographer Robin Resch as its Winter 2021 Anne Reeves Artist-in-Residence.

Resch is a Princeton-based photographer who lived in Italy, France, and the Netherlands until 1998. She left Europe to pursue her Master’s in Architecture at Princeton University, which she combined with advanced photographic studies with Emmet Gowin and Andrew Moore.

Resch’s work has been exhibited at Princeton University’s Lucas Gallery, the Pringle Gallery in Philadelphia, Design Within Reach, Princeton Project Space, the Arts Council of Princeton, and the Nassau Club.

During her residency, Resch will work locally on her series, titled 'Taking Pause'. This series will explore the response to the challenges of this year and the COVID-19 pandemic. The completed portraits will be displayed at Princeton’s Dohm Alley from April to October, 2021.

“At a time when our country feels so torn and disconnected, this project aims to reconnect and place trust with those we don’t know,” Resch said in a statement. “Crucial to this project is its collaborative nature that aspires to connect with people, share stories, and spend time together. In short, to take pause, to reflect.”

Resch began work on this project back in 2018. She then expanded the project’s community and network by working with people across the United States and by driving solo 10,553 miles. Her goal is to capture a broad spectrum of the local community.

The Anne Reeves Artist-in-Residence Program, named after ACP Founding Director, was established by the Arts Council in 2009 to offer artists the opportunity to conceptualize and create work
