>THE PROJECT:
>
>Third Generation is a website crafted from the photo albums of three
>artists' respective grandparents.  Each artist writes about images from
>each album, unaware of what the others have written.  As they grapple with
>their historical context, the photographs become artifacts of memory,
>interpretation, and family history.
>
>
>THE ARTISTS (AND THEIR GRANDPARENTS):
>
>Beckham Dossett, Indianapolis, Indiana: website design
>Jael Lehmann, Berlin, Germany: content
>Andrea Slane, Norfolk, Virginia: content, editing
>Rachel Schreiber, Baltimore, Maryland: content, editing, website design
>
>Rachel Schreiber's grandfather photographed his trip abroad in 1937. Rachel
>has been struck by the unimaginable fact that her grandfather enjoyed a
>leisurely vacation in Europe so soon before a time when Europe was a
>dangerous place for a Jewish man to be.
>
>Andrea Slane's grandfather was a judge and a member of the Nazi party: he
>was killed in a Russian POW camp after the end of WWII. Andrea grew up in
>the US, but spent many childhood summers in Germany. Family photographs
>reveal a layered German history: Mother crosses and Nazi party pins--some
>erased, some inked out, some left as is--which are part of a visual family
>history that her grandmother
>never mentioned.
>
>Jael Lehmann's family left Germany during the war, but returned soon after.
>She grew up as a Jew who is often not read as one by her fellow
>Germans,living in a Jewish community a fraction of its former size. Jael's
>grandmother asked that her photo album be buried with her.  She struggles
>with what is now her missing family archive.
>
>*****
>Beckham Dossett is a graphic designer. She currently teaches typography,
>corporate identity, and digital video at Herron School of Art in
>Indianapolis, Indiana.
