MTA Arts & Design Lightbox exhibition at 42nd St & 6th Ave, New York City
Jeanette May’s “Tech Vanitas” photographs are displayed in the Bryant Park/42nd St/6th Ave subway station. As part of the MTA Arts & Design Lightbox Project, the exhibition Tech Time Capsule will be on view for the entire year of 2020!
Large light boxes of this type are most often used for advertising imagery, which is ideal for the “Tech Vanitas” photographs; at first glance they strongly resemble slick product shots. These still lifes address the desire for beautifully designed gadgets and the anxiety around ever changing technology.
This exhibit was generously sponsored by Griffin Editions and Kodak/alaris.

The German women’s magazine, Barbara, features Jeanette May’s “Morbidity & Mortality” photographic series in issue #31, December 2018. The magazine aims to be smarter and funnier than the typical women’s magazine. The theme for this issue is “crime,” so May’s photos of pet toys as murder victims fit perfectly.
