The Boston Globe Points Readers to a Danforth Show About Looking
The Boston Globe reviews a Danforth Art Museum show its headline splits into three modes of looking — outward, inward, and in between. Full details pending.
Updated

The Boston Globe has published a review titled "At the Danforth, looking out, looking in, and looking in between," signalling new critical coverage of an exhibition at the Danforth Art Museum.
The headline alone frames the show's central tension: photographers who turn their cameras outward, inward, and toward the uncertain territory between the two.
What do we actually know?
The syndicated feed available to Lens Gazette carried the headline and byline only, without the review's body text. I will not speculate about which photographers hang on the walls, who curated the exhibition, or what the critic concluded.
For practitioners, the reliable facts are these:
- The venue is the Danforth Art Museum, in Framingham, Massachusetts.
- The Boston Globe has reviewed it, which itself signals the show earned mainstream critical attention.
- The review's tripartite title — looking out, looking in, looking in between — suggests the critic organized the work around three modes of photographic attention.
Why a headline structure matters
When a critic builds a review around looking out, looking in, and looking in between, they are usually sorting a group exhibition into photographers who work in the world, photographers who work in the studio or the self, and photographers who collapse that distinction. That schema has a long lineage in American criticism, and it often marks a curator's attempt to make a heterogeneous roster legible.
Readers who want the substance — names, series, verdicts — should consult the full review at The Boston Globe's site. Lens Gazette will follow with a detailed report once the complete text and the museum's exhibition materials are accessible.
