A selection of my City Space images are included in the current show Made In Chicago at La Galerie Rouge in Paris, France. Exhibition details below.

Galerie Rouge is pleased to present Made in Chicago, a thematic exhibition on Chicago and its photographic representation from the 1940s to the present day. For several generations of photographers, this city has represented a subject, a studio, a sociological object -- and also a starting point to realize themselves as artists. As a cradle of modern architecture, theater of social and racial divisions, capital of American industry, city of diverse and dynamic cultures, all these dimensions have indeed nourished the gaze of the photographers who have lived there. Less known than the New York photographic scene, this exhibition aims to restore Chicago as a vibrant and original photographic center. The exhibited photographers are brought together by the requirement of their photographic vision, which combines the beauty of the prints with the graphics of the images, and the documentary strength of their subjects. Made in Chicago also highlights the relationships and dynamics of influence between Chicago photographers, as the exhibition brings together professors and students from two photography schools. The upper floor of the gallery is devoted to the works of professors and students of the legendary New Bauhaus/Institute of Design school, with vintage works in sublime black and white tones. The second half of the exhibition located on the gallery's lower level, depicts a contemporary and colorful vision of the city presented through the eyes of Paul D'Amato and two of his former students, who now have become artists in their own right: Clarissa Bonet and Todd Diederich.
