Pittsfield grew into the city it once was largely on the strength of the General Electric Corporation, which dominated economic and civic life and shaped the very landscape there. Now a greatly diminished presence, and fading by the day, it seems, General Electric’s industrial sites and their surroundings are the subject of photographer Susan Mikula’s soft-edged, painterly photographs, a group she calls “American Vale.” The “creative economy” that shapes Pittsfield today is exemplified by the show of Mikula’s photographs that opened at Ferrin Gallery on Saturday, June 26.
