| April 1998 | As our site has grown, so have the requests to make it easier to find the pages for specific exhibitions, articles, interviews, projects, biographies and all those other good things we have. So we've added a search engine for the site to our home page. |
| February 1998 | Emerging from winter hibernation with the new project Figure, the most recent collaboration of Bill Botzow and Frank Peseckis. Figure looks at the processes of figurative and nonrepresentational image-making in parallel, and incorporates both still and video imaging techniques. There are also new additions to Gorge, a backyard exploration, which now includes mpeg video of transformations through the final images of the Gorge sequences. Plus, we have received a 4 star rating in Microsoft's Best of the Web in several categories including Art and Architecture (within both the Education and Reference and Lifestyles sections), Earth and Life Sciences, and Physical and Applied Sciences. What more can we say but thank you! |
| October 1997 | The latest installment, titled Leaves, in the series Gorge, a backyard exploration, is added to our Projects pages. |

Plus, the Dry series of images, based upon photographs taken during the height of summer in the gorge, have been added to the collaboration Gorge, a backyard exploration. And color images of the installation Shift, courtesy of the Williams College Museum of Art, are added to Peseckis' essay Bill Botzow and Tony Carruthers -- Shift. |
| August 1997 | We welcomed the first show in our newly refurbished exhibition spaces: Real and Invented, a dozen images of painter Steven Perkins' carefully conceived work that explores the richness of nature and of the artist's imagination. We also significantly restructured the organization of pages here at 5points.com, along with new graphics, new layout elements, and we hope an even greater focus on the synergies of art and science. |
| July 1997 | Added to our library pages the History of Exhibitions at Five Points Gallery, 1987-1994, a chronology and summary of the 66 exhibitions featuring work by over 200 artists we presented at Five Points Gallery's exhibition spaces during the years 1987 through 1994.
