I had the pleasure of hearing the Artists talk last night at the MoCP for the opening of their new show PhotoDimensional (through April 19th). The show deals with the translation of 3D objects into 2 dimensional Photographs (or vice versa).

I particularly enjoyed the work of Katalin Deér. This was first due to her sculptures that incorporated photographs, but I really love that she used concrete within her work. Anyone who can convince a museum to allow them to pour concrete on the wood floor easily wins my admiration over.

Tonight is the opening of Intervention at Vespine Gallery with works by Brandon Blunden, Andrew McComb, and my good friend Allison Grant.
Opening 7-9p, February 13th
Show runs through February 28th
Vespine Gallery
1907 S. Halstead Ave.

My good friend from grad school Curtis Mann has a 12×2 show at the Museum of Contemporary Art opening this Friday 6-10pm. The show runs February 7 to March 1, with a lecture on Tuesday, February 17, 2009, 6:30 pm.

This is a must see if you are a Chicagoan interested in photography.
Congrats Curt, see you Friday!
