Perspective Gallery is proud to present a new show by fine art photographer, Alexa Frangos. Titled (Re)arranging, the work finds inspiration in her daughter’s hands, using photo-collage to imagine them reassembling what is broken. Playful and performative, the work both looks back to Surrealist photography of the 1920s and 1930s and forward to the potential of today’s younger generations to create a more beautiful world.
(Re)arranging opens on Thursday, October 1, with a public reception on Saturday, October 3 from 5 p.m.- 7:00 p.m. Alexa will give an artist’s talk on Thursday October 15th and the show will close on Sunday, November 1st.

\r\n\r\nPerspective Gallery’s February exhibition is a solo show by Stephanie Taiber
\r\n\r\nStephanie Taiber’s series titled, Resonance, was Inspired by – and very much in conversation with – writings by Virginia Woolf. The images reference moments and rhythmic patterns of self-reflection that take shape throughout a woman’s lifetime. A natural oscillation repeats itself between intimacy and aloofness, longing and withdrawal, time and space, then and now. According to Taiber, “Chronology is of little importance in this interior space. Here, emotional fluctuations resonate through a stream of consciousness and come to shape self-perception, just as energy passing through water becomes recognizable as a wave. They inform one another by perpetually reimagining the past while moving with anticipation into an expansive future. Simultaneously bearing the weight of ephemerality and the lift of possibility, ‘being’ is the endless effort to find the balance between upheaval and rapture.”

Arnold's vivid, mural-szied collages juxtapose mass media imagery with abstract painterly gestures to commen on contemporaneous social and political issues related to the artist's experience as a black, gay, Korean War veteran living in Chicago. They raise significant issues about the use of photography in the mass media by re-appropriating those images and putting them in the service of Arnold's progressive ideas about identity politics.
\r\n\r\nThe final result of Foster-Rice's research will be a book and exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in the fall of 2018 as part of the city-wide Art Design Chicago iniative, organized by the Terra Foundation for American Art.

\r\n\r\nLong before camera phones, picture-taking was made easy through the efforts of one man, George Eastman. Snapshots became the main product of his remarkable company, Eastman Kodak. An able chemist, a visionary businessman and a marketing genius, Eastman brought photography to the masses. A predicted fad, his cameras and films quickly became a fundamental part of millions of lives as Kodak defined amateur and professional photography for the next century. In his talk, Joe Gioia reviews Eastman’s little-known life and work, paying special attention to the technological advances and business innovations he employed to make photography available to everyone.
\r\n\r\nJoe Gioia was born in Rochester, New York and spent many happy hours at the George Eastman House museum of photography before going away to school. During his illustrious career, Mr. Gioia has been Senior Editor of Modern Photography magazine and a contributing editor at American Photo magazine. He has also written about photography for PDN, Lens on Campus, Salon and the New York Times. His photographs are included in the Polaroid Corporation Collection, now housed at the Westlicht Gallerie in Vienna, Austria, and at the Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul, Minnesota. His work can also be seen online at www.visiblerepublic.com.

Agritecture by Anthony Iacuzzi
\r\nWhen we think of architecture, we normally don’t think of farms and fields. We think of urban environments where we find a wide array of residential and commercial buildings. In his series, Agritecture, Anthony Iacuzzi invites us to view the structures found in the rural countryside as architectural statements that punctuate the landscape. Iacuzzi’s Agritecture presents a vignette of the rural American landscape amid the natural beauty that is farm country. According to Iacuzzi, “Agrarian architecture has a style all its own which is immediately identifiable. It tends to be utilitarian with clean, geometric lines. it also has a traditional color palette. These conventions of color began and have endured for practical as well as cultural reasons.”
\r\n
\r\nDiptychs by Stephen Murphy
\r\nIn his first featured exhibition at Perspective Gallery, Stephen Murphy investigates alternative meaning-making by pairing images – diptychs – that are as much about his imagination as they are about the visualization of the original images or their subsequent connection to each other.
\r\nAccording to Murphy, “Pairing two photographs alters the meaning of the individual images and the experience of the resulting work. In creating a diptych, storytelling is reshaped, contrasting or related visual ideas are explored, and analogies and associations are created.”
\r\n
\r\nAll events are free and open to the public. Perspective Group and Photography Gallery is a not-for-profit 501 [c][3] cooperative of member artists. It’s mission is to promote fine art photography in all its forms through its exhibitions, lectures and community outreach activities.

Alone Together by William Bridges
\r\nSince the 1800s, social critics have commented on the spirit of anonymity that pervades city life around the world. But what does contemporary urban isolation look like? The widespread diffusion of technology in the form of hand held devices with their opportunities for escape into a three by four-inch self-absorbing world have only accelerated the trend of indifference to the surrounding social world. According to Bridges, “From another perspective, cell phones are simply another prop that allows us to share personal space with strangers. A book, a bag lunch, or a strategically placed jacket can be as effective as suit of armor (not to mention the cabin of an automobile) in protecting our inner selves from those in close proximity. At the same time, our twenty-first century eyes understand that the presence of a nearby ‘other’ provides context for a different interpretation.” Seen from this angle, Bridges’ images provide a window into the unique urban activity or project of “performing aloneness.”

\r\nPorches of Jeffersonville, Indiana by Jeffrie Chirchirillo
\r\nWhile attending his cousin’s wedding in the southern Indiana river town of Jeffersonville, Jeffrie Chirchirillo awoke very early one morning and explored the neighborhood with his camera. He was taken in by the morning light and how it showed off the porches found on almost every home, no matter what its size or the owner’s economic status. Most had swings and were decorated with flowers, American flags and items of whimsy. Some were decorated with the latest indoor/outdoor furniture while others gave old furniture new uses. According to Chirchirillo, “The porches of Jeffersonville are so different from those in the Chicago area I could not stop taking pictures.” He goes on to say that “Porches are a very common feature of pre WWII southern homes that were built in the days before air conditioning became economical and widely available. A porch offers an escape from the hot summer air inside a home. Porches shade homes from direct sun. They provide places to sit, relax, socialize and watch the comings and goings on the street.”
\r\n
\r\nThe exhibition will be on display August 3-28, 2017. An opening reception for the artists will be held on Saturday, August 5, 5-7 p.m. An artist talk/discussion is scheduled for Thursday, August 17 at 7 p.m. All events are free and open to the public.

\r\n\r\nDonna Wesley Spencer has spent most of her adult life in Evanston, IL., but she grew up in the South. The photographs in “A Southern Diary” are her response to a long-ago question about when she would be coming home. For the past few years, she has been spending more time in the rural and small town South, photographing places and people that define the region for her, making work in East Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia. She is especially interested in places that retain the remnants of history. What she first considered to be the project of a summer has become a continuing journey.
\r\n\r\nAlso showing work in September are Lisa Beard, Alexa Frangos, Mark Kaufman and Christopher Schneberger.

\r\nThe exhibition will be on display December 6-31, 2017. An opening reception for the artists will be held on Saturday, December 9, 5-7 p.m. An artist talk/discussion is scheduled for Thursday, December 28 at 7 p.m. All events are free and open to the public.
This exhibition showcases the work of five artists who further challenge and deconstruct the medium and its materials. Doug Fogelson makes images of cameras, but not by photographing with any camera. They are color photograms which record the shadows and contours of vintage cameras set below the enlarger in the darkroom. Julie Weber addresses the transitory nature of the light sensitive material by allowing the photo paper, exposed prior, but not fixed, to slowly reveal and wash away the latent image during the exhibition. Jaclyn Wright interrogates the intersection of analog and digital processes by taking 4x5” film holders, generally meant to protect film from light, and artfully ruining their intended function with laser cuts that produce overlapping patterns and tonalities. Juan Fernandez also uses the form of the photogram (exposure of paper with white light and no negative) to depict three dimensional objects like icosahedrons, with the precision of a draftsman and the texture of an intaglio print. Through the gestures of curling, warping, overlapping and cascading film transparencies Elina Ruka contemplates the ever-changing nature of water and the malleability of image - its form and meaning.

\r\n\r\nThis exhibition showcases the work of five artists who further challenge and deconstruct the medium and its materials. Doug Fogelson makes images of cameras, but not by photographing with any camera. They are color photograms which record the shadows and contours of vintage cameras set below the enlarger in the darkroom. Julie Weber addresses the transitory nature of the light sensitive material by allowing the photo paper, exposed prior, but not fixed, to slowly reveal and wash away the latent image during the exhibition. Jaclyn Wright interrogates the intersection of analog and digital processes by taking 4x5” film holders, generally meant to protect film from light, and artfully ruining their intended function with laser cuts that produce overlapping patterns and tonalities. Juan Fernandez also uses the form of the photogram (exposure of paper with white light and no negative) to depict three dimensional objects like icosahedrons, with the precision of a draftsman and the texture of an intaglio print. Through the gestures of curling, warping, overlapping and cascading film transparencies Elina Ruka contemplates the ever-changing nature of water and the malleability of image - its form and meaning.

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Our perception of place is formed through our personal experience of it over time, a two way process between the observer and the environment. In turn, we each form a personal, unique understanding and mental image of any given place. For the past seven years, Clarissa Bonet has been using the camera to make tangible her understanding and vision of the urban space. In her talk, she will discuss two concurrent and ongoing projects, City Space and Stray Light, and provide insight into her work and creative process.
\r\n\r\nClarissa Bonet is a Chicago based artist. Her work explores aspects of the urban space in both a physical and psychological context. She received her M.F.A. in photography from Columbia College Chicago and her B.S. in Photography from the University of Central Florida.
\r\n\r\nBonet’s photography, which has been exhibited nationally and internationally, resides in the collections of the University of Michigan Museum of Art, The Museum of Contemporary Photography, the Southeast Museum of Photography, the Haggerty Museum of Art, University Club Chicago, and the JPMorgan Chase Art Collection.
\r\n\r\nHer work has been featured on CNN Photos, The Wall Street Journal, The Eye of Photography, Photo District News, Chicago Magazine, Harpers Bizarre, Juxtapoz and many other notable online and print publications. In 2017 Bonet received recognition and support for her work from the Individual Artists Program Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events. In 2015 she was chosen as one of PDN’s 30 New and Emerging Photographers to Watch. She was selected as a 2016 Flash Forward Emerging Photographer by the Magenta Foundation. Bonet was the first recipient of Perspective Gallery’s LENS, Juror’s Prize back in 2012. She exhibited at the Gallery in a two person show later that same year.

Photographer Doug Haight found it to be the perfect title for his upcoming exhibit of photographs at Evanston’s Perspective Gallery.
\r\n\r\n“Wandering Yuma” presents images from crosscurrents of everyday life in Cuba, from young ballet dancers to butchers, from o\u001eerings to the sea to street parties; all displayed in a salon-style exhibit of more than 50 images created from multiple visits to the island. The show will be on exhibit at Perspective Gallery, 1310 Chicago Avenue, May 31 - July 1. The public is invited to an opening reception June 2, 5-7 pm, and an artist talk July 21 at 7 pm. For over 20 years, Doug Haight has been a photographer and video producer. His work has been featured in festivals, gallery shows, and publications including the New York Times.
\r\n\r\nHe is a member of Perspective Gallery and the owner of Evanston-based Fortune Fish Films.

According to Beard, "Although sifting through it can be interesting and reveal much, it can also be quite overwhelming in a sort of visual flooding."
\r\n
\r\nHer series, UnOccupied, is a body of work that explores places left behind. The spaces shown were photographed exactly as found. The minimalist style allows the essence of what once was, to fuse with each viewer’s experience in order to form an individualized story. It also provides a nice break from the visual saturation we constantly face in today's environment.
\r\n
\r\n"In a complicated world,” Beard states, “it’s nice to know that much is revealed through simplicity."
\r\n

The #metoo movement has dominated much of the news this past year. While an increasing number of survivor stories have surfaced, the actual number of people affected has been difficult to quantify. In January of 2018, the National Study on Sexual Harassment conducted an extensive study in which they found 81% of women and 43% of men said they had experienced some form of sexual harassment or assault in their lifetime. Those numbers are staggering.
\r\n
\r\nCurator Jane Fulton Alt shares, "Last fall social media sites were saturated with #metoo posts. I was privy to a confidential Facebook conversation in which a woman shared her story. With the support and encouragement from others, she confronted her perpetrator. Much to her surprise, he apologized profusely, acknowledging his responsibility, opening a path for her to move forward with her life. This conversation was the catalyst for organizing this exhibition. Many of the exhibiting artists were investigating sexuality and the lingering consequences of unwanted attention long before #metoo."

\r\n
\r\nWHITNEY BRADSHAW…Outcry…a grid of women screaming

\r\n
\r\nIn her series Worry Doll, Frangos is looking to refract her parental anxieties in story pieces that look to early cinema, fairy tales, and Dare Wright’s Lonely Doll books. Each piece uses the same doll posed in a sequence of images, like found segments of a fuller, lost story. According to Frangos, "The doll acts as a surrogate for the child in the story, and perhaps also acts as talisman to receive these anxieties, like traditional worry dolls might."
\r\n
\r\nAlexa Frangos is a Chicago-based photographer. She studied Visual Communications and Photography at Washington University in St. Louis. She earned her M.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where her multimedia work focused on representations of women in film. Her current work consists of photographs that reference narrative, domestic life, self-portraiture and early cinema.

"The first time I made a picture like this I was 16 years old, standing in the stairwell of my small high school. Decades have passed. I have aged; yet that image remains." ~ Marcia Mahoney
\r\n
\r\nGrounded in the reality of that seminal moment, Mahoney's work now tells stories expanded by nostalgia and life experience. Importantly for her, the making of that picture spawned a lifelong practice of observing people, following light, and scripting narratives suggested by ordinary moments.
\r\n
\r\nThe street photographs in Mahoney's collection, Infinite Pleasure, capture the familiarity, beauty and ephemeral pleasure of everyday gesture and light. Irving Penn once described photography as the synthesis of reality and imagination. The images in this series expose that fusion. For both artist and viewer, their reality triggers memory and imagination.
\r\n
\r\nImages from this collection can be seen at Amanda Smith Gallery in Texas, PhotoPlace Gallery in Vermont; Blue Sky Gallery in Portland, Oregon, and the Los Angeles Center of Photography. One of the photographs in this portfolio, Final Act, won Best in Show in the Images of Illinois competition. In addition to being a member of Perspective Group and Photography Gallery, Marcia Mahoney is a member of f8collective and serves as Treasurer of Chicago's Filter Photo.
The show runs October 4 - 28, 2018.
\r\n\r\nAn opening reception will be held on Saturday, October 6, 5-7 p.m.
\r\n\r\nA conversation with the artists is scheduled for Thursday, October 18, at 7 p.m.

\r\n"Since becoming a parent, my fears have become lucid dreams about the traumas and enigmas of childhood that end before any climax can define them." ~ Alexa Frangos
\r\n
\r\nIn her series Worry Doll, Frangos is looking to refract her parental anxieties in story pieces that look to early cinema, fairy tales, and Dare Wright’s Lonely Doll books. Each piece uses the same doll posed in a sequence of images, like found segments of a fuller, lost story. According to Frangos, "The doll acts as a surrogate for the child in the story, and perhaps also acts as talisman to receive these anxieties, like traditional worry dolls might."
\r\n
\r\nAlexa Frangos is a Chicago-based photographer. She studied Visual Communications and Photography at Washington University in St. Louis. She earned her M.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where her multimedia work focused on representations of women in film. Her current work consists of photographs that reference narrative, domestic life, self-portraiture and early cinema.
\r\n
\r\nInfinite Pleasure | Marcia Mahoney
\r\n"The first time I made a picture like this I was 16 years old, standing in the stairwell of my small high school. Decades have passed. I have aged; yet that image remains." ~ Marcia Mahoney
\r\n
\r\nGrounded in the reality of that seminal moment, Mahoney's work now tells stories expanded by nostalgia and life experience. Importantly for her, the making of that picture spawned a lifelong practice of observing people, following light, and scripting narratives suggested by ordinary moments.
\r\n
\r\nThe street photographs in Mahoney's collection, Infinite Pleasure, capture the familiarity, beauty and ephemeral pleasure of everyday gesture and light. Irving Penn once described photography as the synthesis of reality and imagination. The images in this series expose that fusion. For both artist and viewer, their reality triggers memory and imagination.
\r\n
\r\nImages from this collection can be seen at Amanda Smith Gallery in Texas, PhotoPlace Gallery in Vermont; Blue Sky Gallery in Portland, Oregon, and the Los Angeles Center of Photography. One of the photographs in this portfolio, Final Act, won Best in Show in the Images of Illinois competition. In addition to being a member of Perspective Group and Photography Gallery, Marcia Mahoney is a member of f8collective and serves as Treasurer of Chicago's Filter Photo.

\r\nAbout the Exhibition
\r\nThe show runs October 4 - 28, 2018.

Gallery hours are Thursday-Saturday, 12-6 p.m. and Sunday, 12-5 p.m. For more information go to www.perspectivegallery.org.
Opening Reception: Saturday, November 3, 5-7 p.m.
\r\n\r\nThe philosopher, Jacques Derrida, wrote that traces are the “mark of the absence of a presence.” For Bob Tanner, traces are connections to memories of a shared life. Through his photographs, Bob has been exploring his understanding of mortality and ephemerality for over twenty years. The photographs in his series, Traces, were made soon after Bob’s wife died, and in locations familiar to them both.
\r\n
\r\nIn describing his work, Bob Tanner states: "Birth, growth, love, maturation, decline, erosion, death, disappearance, knowledge, beauty, ephemera, craters, lumps, wrinkles, marks, traces. All are descriptors of what we see, feel and experience during our lives. At a certain point we become aware of and acknowledge the constant alterations to ourselves, to those we love, to those who share our lives, and to the human and natural landscapes that surround us. Reality steps in and becomes an acknowledged part of our human journey."

Opening Reception: Saturday, November 3, 5-7 p.m.
\r\n\r\nIn his career as a photographer and teacher, Stephen Murphy has challenged himself and his students with examining historical alternative processes after a mastery of darkroom and digital photography. Since retiring in 2015, Murphy has focused on his own work. One avenue of exploration has been the use of photography in the encaustic medium.
\r\n
\r\nRecently Murphy was introduced to blending the encaustic medium with traditional screen-printing from photographs onto birch panels. Developed and still being refined here in Chicago by an encaustic painter, this unique alternative photographic process invites an intuitive exploration of applied color such as tinted gessos and oilsticks while manipulating the beeswax with a torch. Working primarily at the Bridgeport Art Center, Murphy has created a new body of work with imagery sourced from his adopted city of Chicago.
\r\n
\r\nConcurrently, he has been "experimenting with the ubiquitous and often castigated mobile camera, drilling down into apps and cross-fertilizing them for their creative potential."

Larry Chait’s Noir series represents a synthesis of his love of film noir and of Georges Seurat's black conté crayon drawings from the mid-1880's. According to Chait, \"Seurat's drawings are blurry, dark, mysterious and very photographic in the sense that they contain almost no visible contour lines; shapes are defined entirely by changes in tone.\"
To create his series, Chait used images that he appropriated from old photos, TV shows, movies and photos by and of himself. In many of the images, he made himself the protagonist. Sometimes he donned disguises to \"thwart and confuse his enemies.\"
Chait also developed a procedure in Photoshop® to mimic the look of Seurat's drawings, down to the type of textured paper that the artist used. As a final homage to Seurat, Chait drew on his prints with black conté crayon.

In 2016, Katsy Johnson encountered a delightful, little blue boat that had washed up on a picture-perfect beach in the Florida Keys. She later came to find out that the boat, packed with 20 Cuban refugees, had almost capsized during a storm at sea. The survivors narrowly escaped death, thanks to a last-minute rescue by the Coast Guard, which abandoned the sinking vessel to the Atlantic Ocean.
This story sparked Johnson into venturing on to other beautiful settings with somber backstories. In her series “Pretty Dark Things,” she chose not to relate the scenarios as documentaries. Instead, she has developed a multimedia process of hand coloring her photographs and using layers of acrylic to conjure up bucolic scenes that have the effect of looking like vintage reverse glass paintings.
Through this process, Johnson has taken situations involving fleeing refugees, environmental dangers, mental illness and poverty, and transformed them into best supporting actors to the staid, but beautiful backgrounds in which they were photographed.
Katsy Johnson's photo-based art can be viewed at www.katsyjohnson.com.

Perspective Gallery is pleased to present Where We Live, a group exhibition featuring the work of Anja Bruehling, Hossein Fatemi, Dave Jordano, Noritaka Minami, and Brad Temkin. We aspire to live in a utopia but fear a dystopian future. However, we often reside in a reality which has elements of both. The photographers in this exhibition have dedicated themselves to photographing the domestic culture of specific locations and, in doing so, they reveal both the hopes and realities of life in those places. Anja Bruehling looks at the way of life for families and children in Oaxaca, Mexico. Hossein Fatemi grew up in Iran and shows us the culture of that often misunderstood country and how it is both different and like our own. Dave Jordano observes daily life in the Inuit fishing town of Iqualit, Canada. Noritaka Minami examines a capsule style apartment building in Tokyo which was very progressive when built in 1972, but now faces demolition due to obsolescence. Brad Temkin documents the people and culture of a Danish commune of artists and anarchists on a former military installation.

Since the founding of the United States, voices of resistance have given rise to concerns and movements to improve the quality of life for a greater cross section of \"The People.\" Filley's series looks to the past for an understanding of the struggles, gallant efforts and endurance of those who came before. It seeks to find inspiration in the work they did laying the cornerstones of who we are today as a nation. It builds a bridge of conversation between then and now in order to connect more deeply with those who were ignored and devalued in the past. Moreover, the series strives to imagine a more inclusive, brighter future for generations to come.
The images in Voices of Resistance revisit the lives of numerous historical figures both real and, in some cases, partially imagined, including: Harriet Tubman, Betsy Ross, Frances Willard, Ida B Wells, Frances Harper, Pandita Ramabai and Catherine Waugh McCulloch. The images focus on the early organizing efforts of women for social change and examine the causes and struggles for justice that have transcended time. Their scope spans from the fight for abortion rights, voting rights, immigration rights, the right to bare arms and the #MeToo movement, to the thread of history that runs through the abolition of slavery, the anti-lynching movement, the civil rights movement and the Black Lives Matter campaign.
Inspired by the Women's Marches in January 2017/ 2018, the recent Year of the Woman and the November 2018 elections, Filley states that \"it has felt imperative to look to the past for reminders of hope, to see a timeline of change that respects the humanity of the many over the few. It is from the triumphs of history that we can imagine a more hopeful union.\"

Paul D'Amato's series, Midway, is a project that explores the twilight zones of urbanity which exist between neighborhoods that are geographically, ethnically and socio-economically distinct. The heart of it is Chicago's Midway Airport, one of the few airports in the United States that is embedded within a residential area of a city. It is a rock thrown into the middle of a pond of humanity, with economic and cultural ripples extending for miles in every direction.
Though working class, the Midway community is difficult to define and routinely ignored by everyone going to the airport in order to fly to places that are far more exotic. Just about every ethnic group in the city lives there against a backdrop of strip malls, fast food restaurants, light industry, shipping firms and transportation companies. Most of the residents are midway between poverty and middle class. Very few have flown on the jets that make their dishes rattle every ten minutes. It is hard to conceive of anywhere that is less romantic. The challenge that D'Amato faced while shooting this project was to weave all these incoherent pieces together into a body of work that could be from anywhere in the United States; because, it is emphatically midway and distinctly nowhere.
\"Midway is somewhere between becoming and being, between entropy and stasis, between learning and knowing, between alienation and belonging, between isolation and community, between immigration and assimilation, between urban and suburban, between poetry and blight. Midway is a metaphor and it’s a state of mind. It’s also an airport.\"
– Paul D'Amato
Paul D'Amato (American, 1956- ) was born in Boston where he attended Boston Latin School at the height of racial unrest, civil rights and busing. He moved to Oregon to attend Reed College and claims to have learned as much from traveling cross-country four times a year – often by hitch-hiking and hopping freight trains – as he did in class. After receiving an MFA from Yale School of Art, he moved to Chicago where he discovered the communities of Pilsen and Little Village. The pictures and writing D'Amato produced there over the next fourteen years were made into the book, “Barrio.\" His most recent book of images made in the African-American community on the West Side, entitled \"Here/Still/Now,\" was awarded the Lucie Foundation Book Prize in 2018. He has been awarded numerous grants and fellowships including a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Pollock-Krasner Grant and a Rockefeller Foundation Grant to Bellagio, Italy.

Behind shops and restaurants in Chicago, there are service alleys. These narrow passages are lined with trash dumpsters which are filled each day and emptied each night. Sometimes, discarded things spill out of the dumpsters and onto the pavement. Most of these items are the things that are used just once and then summarily disposed of.
In 2017, Steve Geer began to photograph this spillage, placing the discarded items in reflecting puddles to provide an informative backdrop. And, sometimes, inspired by their usage, he would arrange these one-and-done items into still-life groupings. The fact is that many of the discarded things will still be around in landfills or elsewhere; long after we're gone and, perhaps, long after the city has gone.
In describing, Discarded, Steve Geer explains his series by stating, \"I live in the city. I buy things in its shops and eat in its restaurants. I see my own day-to-day activities in many of these still-life vignettes. Essentially, they are self-portraits in which I am absent. \"

Choosing a lily as the subject for her series Consider the Lilies was tough for Verna Todd. She is forever on the artist’s quest to show people something they have never seen before. Something new. \"A lily is just too common,\" she reasoned, \"everyone has grown an amaryllis; or, at least seen boxes of them stacked in stores.\"
Yet she relates that a crimson amaryllis given her by a friend insisted on being photographed. “Morning, noon and night, it shamed me for not getting out my camera.” Resentfully, she gave in.
That’s when the lily took Todd to another place, a quiet place where she could simply enjoy its presence. She relates that her tussle with the amaryllis is like ones she encounters often – doing versus being. \"I’m a doer,\" she proclaims, \"and it bugs me when I arrive at the end of a day with nothing to show for myself. Photography calls me to be, and helps me balance.”
In our information-heavy society, we can become disconnected from nature, and even perhaps from ourselves. It is Verna Todd's hope is that, through this exhibit, she can share with the public the respite of a quiet moment simply to be.

On Sunday, July 21 at 4:30 p.m., Perspective Group and Photography Gallery member, Lisa Beard, will discuss and show images from her new book,Abandoned Illinois, Volume I: Secrets Behind the Spaces. The book consists of her photographs and the history behind several abandoned spaces located within a three-hour driving radius of Chicago. The sites include Joliet Prison, the Savanna Army Depot, the Damen Silos and others. Beard's book is a culmination of over three years of documenting these fascinating, historical places. Two additional books will follow in the near future: a second volume of work on Illinois and another focused on Wisconsin. Volume I will be available for sale and signing at the presentation.
Lisa Beard is a fine art photographer who also enjoys creating mixed media and writing. She was born and lives in Woodstock, Illinois where she is currently a high school English teacher. Throughout life, Lisa has been drawn to art that tells stories, especially photography. From an early age, Lisa has been an avid reader and was told she had an “active imagination.” This influenced her to complete her BFA in English and to pursue teaching. It was while teaching high school that Beard re-discovered her love for storytelling and creating art by making pictures. That love is expressed through her conceptual and editorial work and through exploring and researching the history behind places and objects left behind and abandoned.

Photography, like all two-dimensional art forms, is accessible through a single sensory channel – sight. One can feel music or touch sculpture, but one needs vision to interact with a photograph. Seeing is thus inextricably linked to photography, both before, during and after its creation. More generally, seeing is one of the most ubiquitous metaphors in our culture. To see is to know, to apprehend or to understand. But, when our seeing is obscured or our vision is clouded, we lack complete comprehension or insight. Only occasionally, do we see clearly. However, for many of us, these rare moments of unfiltered glimpses of reality, no matter how ephemeral, draw us into a closer connection with the world and life itself.

Imagine spending a crisp fall evening wandering through a botanical garden who’s woodlands and meadows are sprinkled with a display of Chinese lanterns – that is China Lights. The lanterns are a menagerie of metal frames that are covered with colorful silk and studded with LED lights. The frames are in the shapes of Chinese cultural gems that are recreated for the display. The shapes include natural, architectural and mythological characters – dragons, flowers, birds, all sorts animals, giant goldfish and carp, dancing trees, more dragons, phoenixes, flying turtles, pandas, blue elephants, pixies and even more dragons. The list goes on and on. The Chinese tradition of lighting lanterns began many centuries ago. Early lantern festivals can be tracked to the Eastern Han Dynasty which spanned nearly two hundred years starting in the year 25. Viewing this show is intended to be a fun experience. There is no hidden symbolism or deep meaning; no deep context; no secret message; no social commentary or political message. The objective of this show is for the viewers to have as much fun as I experienced while capturing and producing the images. It is my hope that each viewer can, in some way, escape their everyday world and connect with their inner child for a few minutes as they find themselves Wandering Through China Lights.

The South is an evocative place for Spencer, both because it is a fundamental part of her past and because it is a place where the layers of history and culture are still a visible presence. Nature is close and enveloping, and encounters with both people and place are often wonderfully unexpected.
The exhibition will consist of her more recent photographs and a book, A Southern Diary, which includes all of the photographs in the project as well as the reflections which Spencer made over the course of the project. The photographs in the exhibition were made in Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina and Virginia.

Sandra Ullmann’s photographs, taken along Illinois Route 22, often lead viewers to ask her what she photographed, perhaps with the hope of finding themselves on more solid ground as they try to understand what they see.
In her series, Ullmann invites viewers to bypass that urge and to play with what comes to mind. She hopes her images will raise questions about the ambiguity of seeing and about the many ways in which we see and don’t see. For Ullmann the “reality” of these images both is and isn’t what we see.
Ullmann considers each image to be a portrait expressing something that is deeply human, but wrapped up or contained. Easier to take in, she believes, are the forms that appear more gentle, loving and protective. More difficult are those that suggest fears of abandonment and isolation, the inability to see or to cry out.
Ullmann’s many years as a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst have made her sensitive to the endless similarities between making art and making sense of who we are. She states, “It is clear to me that in art, psychotherapy and life, seeing requires forgetting the name, the assumption, the judgment. Seeing also demands that we tolerate the unknown; it asks that we come back again and again to look more deeply.\"
The exhibition includes an artist’s book in a limited edition of eighteen copies, with twelve photographs printed by Ullmann. The book was hand bound and designed by Ed Marquand, Paper Hammer Press, Tieton, Washington.

For years, Bob Tanner’s photography has been concerned with questions of mortality – his own and that of the world we inhabit. The images in his exhibit are from a continuing series titled,What Was Left Behind. Typically, living organisms leave evidence of their existence. Sometimes they are easy to find, while other traces can be obscured or difficult to understand. According to Tanner, \"The objects in this series appear to be packages, or sacks, or luggage, perhaps only tea bags. We sense they are filled, but with what and why? And what about their scale? Is it important?\"

Five years ago Kurt Kramer undertook an important \"shoot-every-day\" project which eventually took shape as a collection of photographs titled,I Took My Camera Out for Coffee.The initial idea of the project was to photograph daily for a year in the hope of achieving evolution and growth as an artist. Soon after he started, however, he realized that shooting every day made traveling to a variety of sites impractical, so Kurt started taking his camera with him on morning walks to his repertoire of neighborhood coffeehouses. Life in and around those coffeehouses emerged as his on‑going subject matter. His intention was to capture the beauty and poignancy of this aspect of urban life. The timing of the walks had the added benefit of beautiful morning light which often illuminated the scenes that he found and captured.
He almost named the series “Lost In…” because in addition to seeking and finding beauty, Kurt found that \"…people, while having their morning coffee, generally get lost in something: each other, their work, the weather, a discussion, their private thoughts, the news, a book, a phone call or simply in their enlivening cup of java.\" At the end of a year of shooting, Kurt found that he enjoyed and benefited from the discipline so much that he continues to shoot with the same approach to this day.

Most aspects of contemporary human existence, including water supply, air quality and, ultimately, our physical and mental health, are impacted by population growth and urbanization. A case in point is storm water runoff which is generally considered waste. Yet, more than 700 American cities reclaim and reuse waste and storm water with the use of combined sewer systems. As we mimic nature and separate impurities like sludge, salt and chemicals, a transformation occurs. The recycled, transformed water is used for agricultural irrigation and even as drinking water. Chicago photographer, Brad Temkin, brings attention to the visual and ecological beauty of the transformation of wastewater by showing the structures and processes that go largely unseen.
Temkin believes that it matters less what each structure is used for; or, whether the water pictured in his photographs is pure or wastewater. His eye is drawn to the strangeness of these forms and their distorted sense of scale. Moving beyond mere description, he embraces the abstract and surreal landscape of water transformation.
While tension necessarily exists between our survival and our resources, according to Temkin, his \"…practice focuses on humanity’s delicate interdependence with the environment – how we appreciate and accommodate it, and how it accommodates us –rather than the more glaring aspects of environmental plunder.\" By capturing the unexpected beauty that exists in this relationship, his work encourages the viewer to ask their own questions about urbanization, infrastructure and environmental responsibility.
Chicago native Brad Temkin is best known for his photographs of the contemporary landscape. He has been an adjunct professor at Columbia College in Chicago since 1984. His work is in numerous permanent art collections, including: The Art Institute of Chicago; the Milwaukee Art Museum; the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Akron Art Museum, Akron, Ohio; the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Ft. Worth; and, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago.
His images have appeared in such publications as Aperture, Black & White Magazine, TIME Magazine and European Photography. He has been awarded numerous grants and fellowships including an Illinois Arts Council Fellowship in 2007, and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2017.

Five years ago Kurt Kramer undertook an important \"shoot-every-day\" project which eventually took shape as a collection of photographs titled, I Took My Camera Out for Coffee. The initial idea of the project was to photograph daily for a year in the hope of achieving evolution and growth as an artist. Soon after he started, however, he realized that shooting every day made traveling to a variety of sites impractical, so Kurt started taking his camera with him on morning walks to his repertoire of neighborhood coffeehouses. Life in and around those coffeehouses emerged as his on‑going subject matter. His intention was to capture the beauty and poignancy of this aspect of urban life. The timing of the walks had the added benefit of beautiful morning light which often illuminated the scenes that he found and captured.
For years, Bob Tanner’s photography has been concerned with questions of mortality – his own and that of the world we inhabit. The images in his exhibit are from a continuing series titled, What Was Left Behind. Typically, living organisms leave evidence of their existence. Sometimes they are easy to find, while other traces can be obscured or difficult to understand. According to Tanner, \"The objects in this series appear to be packages, or sacks, or luggage, perhaps only tea bags. We sense they are filled, but with what and why? And what about their scale? Is it important?\"
—«»—
The exhibition will be on display at Perspective Gallery in Evanston through October 27, 2019. All events are free and open to the public. Seating is limited for the artist talk, so please plan accordingly.

Larry Chait's exhibition titled, “Las flores para los muertos.” (“Flowers for the Dead”), consists of dark and moody photographs that were taken at the Panteón de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, a public cemetery in the town of San Miguel de Allende in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. According to Chait, there’s a section there where foreigners are buried that resembles a typical American cemetery. But Chait found the section where the locals are put to rest to be of greater interest. That area contains several long rows of burial niches (nichos) which relatives decorate with flowers and other personal artifacts as a way of remembering and paying respect to the deceased. Many of the flowers are artificial because they last indefinitely. Chait states that he was inspired to photograph these nichos \"because of the contrast between the brightly colored, perfectly preserved flowers and the dark, deteriorating niches, adorned with crudely written text.\"
Larry Chait is a Chicago-based photographer who has been pursuing his artistic vision since 2002. He studied photography at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and at Columbia College Chicago. His work has been included in the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, the Block Museum at Northwestern University, and the Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis. He has exhibited widely nationally and internationally in more than 90 solo and group exhibitions.

The idea behind Lisa Beard's series is to offer the concept of a “phantom limb” as a visual metaphor for the feeling that comes from something which is no longer present to either our individual or collective human experience. Beard's work compares the physical loss of a limb to how we react to people and parts of our lives that disappear. \"Although difficult at times,\" Beard explains, \"we all have to deal with loss and change and the accompanying feelings attached to those situations. This is something that unites us as humans.\" All the images in the series are documentary in nature. They are not staged. And elements in the images have been manipulated to illustrate the phantom limb theme. This symbolic \"limb\" is presented as an experience that begins to fade and emotionally alters us by causing us to pause and contemplate what exactly it is that we have lost, or paradoxically, gained through the loss. Beard's series is also meant to call into question such ideas as: Do we really appreciate things as we are losing them or are they missed only after they are gone? Do experiences disappear or do parts of them stick around indefinitely? Is recollecting and reliving experiences harmful or healthy? And, ironically, are our memories accurate or do we idealize the past as we accrue new experiences and gain new insights?
Lisa Beard is a fine art photographer who also enjoys creating mixed media work and writing. She was born and lives in Woodstock, Illinois where she is a high school teacher. While teaching, she re-discovered her love for storytelling and creating art by making photographs. Her images reflect her conceptual and editorial work and her exploration and historical research of places and objects left behind. Much of Lisa Beard’s signature work contains elements of juxtaposition including light and dark imagery, beauty and destruction, and the illusion versus reality. Lisa is the author ofAbandoned Illinois Volume I: Secrets Behind the Spaceswhich was published in January 2019.

Most viewers expect photographs to reveal a lens-based, visually “accurate” representation, one that reconciles perception with memory. However, the characteristics that distinguish acts of documentation, abstraction, appropriation and materiality are complicated and as an artist, Jay Wolke scrutinizes the potential intersections that connect them. By experimenting with strategies that alter the cognitive cues of photographic representation, Jay has generated images that hover between multiple readings and contexts. In this presentation, Wolke will present examples of his current projects and discuss their intent and production.

“We do not see Nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.”
~ Art critic, painter and philosopher William Hazlitt (1778-1830)
The natural world has always been one of Anthony Iacuzzi’s favorite subjects. The medium of photography has been his vehicle of choice for sharing his vision of Nature’s beauty. Since the dawn of the digital age, he has spent countless hours exploring and experimenting with photo editing software in order to express Nature's beauty in his own way. His efforts have resulted in effects and techniques which give his images a stylized look. According to Iacuzzi, “The studied abstraction of the images in my series, NatuReVisioned, is intended to intensify the aesthetic experience in much the same way that painting idealizes its subject matter. One could say that while Nature provides the foundation of my digital canvases, technology provides the brush strokes.”
Anthony Iacuzzi lives and works in Evanston, Illinois where he co-founded Perspective Group and Photography Gallery in 2010. His photography has received local, national and international recognition. He has a BFA degree in photography from Columbia College Chicago.

Sheds and garages house broken snow blowers, old hoses, bicycles and more. They are the last stop for the things our bloated homes can no longer hold. The structures in this series are an homage to our complicated relationship with stuff. Over a lifetime we accumulate an enormous amount of stuff ranging from “priceless” family heirlooms to the latest gadgets which have been quickly rendered obsolete. Why is it nearly impossible to purge our homes of this useless clutter? Is it just inertia, or are we afraid to face what our accumulation says about us? Or, perhaps, is our stuff an anchor to the past which, once purged, would cause us to become unmoored?
All the images in Suzanne Metzel's series, Inside, are polymer photogravures. In this alternative process, digital images are transferred to a photosensitive polymer substrate that is adhered to a steel-backed plate. Once processed, the plate is inked and printed using an etching press. This laborious process is slow and definitely hands-on. According to Metzel, “The process has allowed me to produce images of structures that look to host a history of secrets.\"
Suzanne, a former trial attorney, has studied drawing, watercolor, printmaking and photography at the American Academy of Art, Evanston Art Center and Lillstreet Art Center. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. She is a lifelong resident of Evanston (3rd generation) and a founding and board member of Perspective Group and Photography Gallery.

This series by Joerg Metzner, Going Home, chronicles his unexpected journey home to see his dying mother in Kiel, Germany. The exhibit documents Metzner’s somber journey to see his mother one last time, while being oddly comforted by familiar everyday customs like going to a butcher for a quick Wurst Brötchen, all the while speaking and hearing his mother tongue. Small, familiar details, like the hand-cranked awning of an old-fashioned shop and the smell of freshly-butchered meats, imprinted themselves in his memory during those few days with his family as they waited for his mother to take her journey home.

\"Deep in the winter, after the water has lost its summer heat, the surface of the river in Chicago freezes. Sunlight and city lights are reflected from the ice and, when it’s newly washed and wet, the frozen water also reflects the cityscape. It’s magical.\" ~ Steve Geer
Each year Steve Geer looks forward to the wintery transformation of the Chicago River. It does not freeze often, nor does it remain frozen for long. Usually, it lasts just a few days before the water warms by one or two degrees and the ice melts. While it lasts, the floating ice is always in motion and the compositions formed by its broken sheets and irregular polygons are forever changing. The appearance of the textured surface also changes with the light, as clouds come and go and, as the day progresses, the color palette varies from fiery-heat to frigid-cold. Geer began the project, River Ice, in January 2017. Each year the ice-cover, its appearance and extent, has been different. The resulting series of images is, for him, a celebration of the phenomena of winter. According to Geer, his series is \"a celebration of the natural world reaching into the center of the human world and of things that are novel because they are forever changing and brief.\"

When viewing and thinking about art, people react both emotionally and intellectually. Nelson Armour's series underscores these responses by taking you from a specific reality to an abstracted setting. The viewer moves from the everyday details of life and is transported to a new place – the world of the heart or mind. The Art of Viewing…Art explores both the way people interact with art and the way art is created.
In this series, Armour considers ways to portray people's interaction with art. Fascinated by observing and photographing people in art galleries and museums, his approach separates the immediate environment from the people and the art itself. Visitors seem to float in space while viewing the art, talking with each other, taking selfies and photographing their museum or gallery visit. At times the interactions are private and contemplative while at other moments the dynamics are open and public.
Nelson Armour's photography includes landscapes, environmental portraits, social documentary and constructed works. His work has been shown locally, nationally and internationally; and has appeared in numerous publications. Armour helped form Artists for Action Chicago, a group of area artists who stand for progressive values.

Jessica Prugh's work explores themes of nostalgia and wanderlust. Highway Hypnosis is a quiet road trip crisscrossing through the Midwest and South made over the last 3 years. It is an ongoing body of work that explores the vast, diverse American landscape by car.
Due to the booming post-war economy and driven in part by the automobile industry, the U.S. road trip became a popular summer vacation activity after World War II. Much of what Prugh has documented in her photography reflects the many ups and downs in the economy as reflected by the ever-changing roadside. Fruit and firework stands, “world’s largest” tourist attractions, vintage motels, hand-painted signs and other assorted Americana feature prominently in her work.
Growing up in Metro Detroit, Jessica was inspired by car culture from a young age and at different times in her life she has lived near some of America’s most iconic highways, including U.S. 1, Route 66, Interstate 10 and Woodward Avenue.

When viewing and thinking about art, people react both emotionally and intellectually. Nelson Armour's series underscores these responses by taking you from a specific reality to an abstracted setting. The viewer moves from the everyday details of life and is transported to a new place – the world of the heart or mind. The Art of Viewing…Art explores both the way people interact with art and the way art is created.
In this series, Armour considers ways to portray people's interaction with art. Fascinated by observing and photographing people in art galleries and museums, his approach separates the immediate environment from the people and the art itself. Visitors seem to float in space while viewing the art, talking with each other, taking selfies and photographing their museum or gallery visit. At times the interactions are private and contemplative while at other moments the dynamics are open and public.
Nelson Armour's photography includes landscapes, environmental portraits, social documentary and constructed works. His work has been shown locally, nationally and internationally; and has appeared in numerous publications. Armour helped form Artists for Action Chicago, a group of area artists who stand for progressive values.

Jessica Prugh's work explores themes of nostalgia and wanderlust. Highway Hypnosis is a quiet road trip crisscrossing through the Midwest and South made over the last 3 years. It is an ongoing body of work that explores the vast, diverse American landscape by car.
Due to the booming post-war economy and driven in part by the automobile industry, the U.S. road trip became a popular summer vacation activity after World War II. Much of what Prugh has documented in her photography reflects the many ups and downs in the economy as reflected by the ever-changing roadside. Fruit and firework stands, “world’s largest” tourist attractions, vintage motels, hand-painted signs and other assorted Americana feature prominently in her work.
Growing up in Metro Detroit, Jessica was inspired by car culture from a young age and at different times in her life she has lived near some of America’s most iconic highways, including U.S. 1, Route 66, Interstate 10 and Woodward Avenue. This background has served as the motivation and inspiration for most of her photographic work.
Prugh has published two zines of her work: A View of the Lincoln Highway through Illinois, and Highway Hypnosis. Her work has been shown at Filter Photo Gallery, Chicago. She has an upcoming show at South x Southeast Photo Gallery in Molena, Georgia.

A Solo Exhibition by Alexa Frangos
Virtual Artist's Discussion: Thursday, September 17, 2020, 7 p.m. (check our website for details)
In this series, Frangos has taken found imagery from films, along with elements of projection and household objects, and created constructed collages. The act of photographing these constructions transforms the scraps of paper and other objects by distilling the repetition, illusion and other hallmarks of cinema which they contain. The work is both a eulogy to the dying art of celluloid cinema and a celebration of its essence.
\"During my adolescence, any ounce of free time I had was spent with movies. I read about movies voraciously, watched them at home and immersed myself in them at my local cineplex. Films were my higher reality, the primary object of my dreams and reveries. Growing up in the era of light through celluloid, going to the movies felt like a tactile experience. I learned to spot the “cigarette burns” that signaled the end of a film reel, and I would often try to catch a glimpse of the projectionist cueing the new reel. Today, these cans of celluloid are jettisoned in favor of streaming and digital projection.\"

WE MATTER documents the local protests set off by the death of George Floyd in 2020. United in solidarity, demonstrators throughout Chicago and the U.S. took to the streets to denounce the failures of systemic racism and colonialism and to fight against racial oppression and police brutality. The members of CAAAP and other Chicago photographers have captured these protests that have inspired demands for social policy change and economic accountability.
The exhibition, WE MATTER, validates that WE are intolerant of infrastructures that support racism in America. The word WE in the title represents the collective voices of protest.
A Brief History of the Chicago Alliance of African American Photographers
The Chicago Alliance of African American Photographers began 21 years ago when seven of Chicago's best photographers created a place for black photographers within the Chicagoland area to cultivate and celebrate black culture and curate diasporic photographic arts.

A Brief History of the Chicago Alliance of African American Photographers
The Chicago Alliance of African American Photographers began 21 years ago when seven of Chicago's best photographers created a place for black photographers within the Chicagoland area to cultivate and celebrate black culture and curate diasporic photographic arts. The founding members include: Leslie Adkins, Bob Black, Martha Brock, Milbert O. Brown Jr., Terry Harris, Brent Jones and Lee Landry. CAAAP continues to increase its membership and create educational photography programs for the African-American Community.

While somewhat house-bound and experimenting this past summer, Kurt Kramer decided to print a few photographs on watercolor paper. He loved the retro look and decided to use it as the basis for this collection titled \"Retrographs.\" For this exhibition, Kramer has drawn from images he has made over the past 22 years. He attributes his search for an old-fashioned sensibility partly to Perspective Gallery member Suzanne Metzel’s December 2019 exhibit of photogravure images.
Once captivated by the look and feel of antiquity, Kramer experimented with different papers and ultimately chose one made by Fabriano, an Italian manufacturer named after the village where paper has been produced since the 13th century. While these images have not been made with a centuries-old process, Kramer found the output on this paper to have the vintage look he sought.
In addition to the look, these images represent somewhat of a retrospective of Kramer's images captured since 1998. His selections are among the more pictorial images from this period. The small size of the images is significant as well because the tendency for 20-30 years has been to exhibit very large images. But, contrary to that practice, Kramer has chosen to show smaller images in order to \"draw viewers in for a closer, more intimate experience.\"

The images in Anthony Iacuzzi's exhibition titled \"Polytonal\" are a combination of monochromatic and color images of buildings located in Chicago's central business district.

You're Invited to a Perspectives on Photography Zoom Lecture and Discussion with Gina Costa! Expanding the Boundaries/Expanding the Discourse: Mobile Phone Photography as a Worldwide Art Movement
Registration in advance is required for this event. To register go to the following link: Gina Costa Lecture Registration
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information on how to join the event.
Gina Costa views mobile photography not only as a convenience, but as a powerful creative tool that can enhance a photographer’s practice. Discussion of some of the most useful and robust apps that can accomplish this will be part of the presentation. This lecture is intended for any photographer interested in mobile technology as a complement to their current creative practice and workflow. The presentation will explore mobile photography as a world-wide art movement and look at work by some of the leading international mobile artists who are continuing to expand the discourse.
According to Costa, \"Mobile or cellphone photography is part of the arc of the history of photography’s technical advancements. From the popularity in the early 1900‘s of the photo booth, to the evolution of the polaroid during the '50's and '60's, people have sought inexpensive and immediate ways of capturing the world around them. As technology has evolved, so too did the definition of what was considered a photograph. The cellphone camera has become the logical next step in this historical arc and has shifted the discourse and boundaries of what we consider to be a photograph.\"
Gina Costa is a photographic artist, art historian and independent curator. She earned her graduate degree in art history from the University of Chicago and has worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago. Costa explores multiple photographic formats including film, digital, polaroid and mobile phone. She has taught workshops, exhibited and written about mobile phone photography in the United States and Europe. She is currently a curator and instructor at the Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame.
In addition to being a winner of the 2018 and 2019 Julia Margaret Cameron Photography Award, Costa has won the 2016 Latin American Photography Award. Her work has been featured in Lensculture, F-Stop and Lenscratch magazines and has been shown at: The Mira Foundation, Porto Portugal; Griffin Museum of Photography, Winchester MA; Filter Space, Chicago; Perspective Gallery, Evanston, Illinois; The Rebekka Jacob Gallery, Charleston, South Carolina; the Minneapolis Photography Center; The Vermont Center for Photography; LightBox Gallery, Eugene Oregon; Tethys Gallery, Firenze, Italy: and, MART, Rovereto, Italy.

Kevin J. Miyazaki is a fourth generation Japanese American, born and raised in Milwaukee. His childhood in a Wisconsin suburb created a desire later in life to examine his ethnicity and ancestral history in Hawaii, the West Coast and Japan. Stories from his own family infuse this personal and inward-looking aspect of his artwork, with larger themes of immigration, forced migration and assimilation. A more outward-looking aspect of Miyazaki’s practice is portraiture, in which he often engages with subjects he has just met. He recently completed a 19-month project (with the journalist Mary Louise Schumacher), in which they photographed and interviewed more than 100 subjects about democracy and citizenship at this historic moment.
Kevin J. Miyazaki is a photographer and artist based in Milwaukee. His work has been exhibited at venues including the Hyde Park Art Center, The Museum of Wisconsin Art, Griffin Museum of Photography, Center for Photography at Woodstock and the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. For nine years, he operated the website “collect.give,” which sold affordable photographic prints to support artist-selected charities. Miyazaki is an adjunct instructor at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and works as a freelance editorial photographer whose clients include The New York Times, Architectural Digest, Food Network, AARP and Smithsonian.
For Perspectives on Photography, Kevin will discuss the two separate components of his artistic practice: The exploration of ethnicity and identity, which often relates to his own family history and portraiture, where he engages with specific communities and members of the public.

The black & white photos in Sandra Ullmann’s series were made in Bangladesh while traveling with a small group of photographers. Ullmann's images speak to her fascination with strong light and shadows and forms emerging and disappearing. Staring into the darkness of streets and market stalls, she would wait for a face to emerge and be held by the light.
Having grown up playing with found materials and creating clothing and objects, Ullmann has wanted to become an artist since childhood. However, she has always been torn between making art and doing what she and others consider to be “useful.” After graduating from college with majors in both Art and French, she taught French and literature at Lake Forest College and Lake Forest and Barrington high schools. Returning to her interest in art, Ullmann studied fiber sculpture (School of the Art Institute of Chicago) and created sculptural pieces both on-loom and off, wall hung and free-standing. Many of those works were exhibited nationally in juried shows and in the contemporary fiber sculpture show she curated at Lawrence University, Appleton, Wisconsin. In photographing her fiber work for submission to shows, Ullmann discovered the camera, which led her to photography classes at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with Barbara Crane and Joyce Neimanas.
Ultimately, upon earning a doctorate in clinical psychology and a certificate in psychoanalysis she devoted herself for the next twenty-five years to a private practice. However, when time permitted, Ullmann would pursue her photography, taking classes and using the darkroom she built in her home.
Once Ullmann understood the complementary value of her two loves, photography and clinical psychology, she began showing and speaking about art and psychoanalysis at professional conferences. In 2018 Ullmann closed her practice, joined Perspective Group and Photography Gallery and has devoted herself to photography ever since.
Zoom conversation with Ullmann and Tanner on Thursday, February 18 at 7:00 p.m. Go to our website to register.

\"Further Conversations\" is a direct extension, at least in form, of Bob Tanner's series titled, \"What Was Left Behind.\" The objects in this series are, again, those used in everyday life that can be thought of as both intimate and comforting.
Technically, a big difference between the two series lies in the nature of the prints. Unlike \"What Was Left Behind,\" the prints in \"Further Conversations\" are low key with no white tones. According to Tanner, \"They require a closer, slower viewing, which I hope viewers will take the time to do.\"
Bob Tanner is a graduate of the Institute of Design and gives credit to his teachers, Harry Callahan, Aaron Siskind and Frederick Sommer, and to his friend and fellow student, Joseph Jachna, for giving him a solid foundation on which to grow as a photographer.
Bob has been a member of Perspective Gallery since its founding in 2010. He feels that his renewed growth as a photographer over the past decade is due in no small part to the congeniality and constructive critiques he has received from its current and past members.

“…They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And they put up a parking lot…”
“Big Yellow Taxi” by Joni Mitchell
This tune comes to mind whenever Joerg Metzner thinks about the tree at Greenwood Beach.
But it wasn’t a parking lot that felled this tree. It was climate change that eventually led the city of Evanston to put up big, black sandbags in its place—a Sisyphean effort to stem erosion by the rising water from Lake Michigan.
In this past year of Covid pandemic and political turmoil the tree had endeared itself to many. Up until it’s untimely demise it stood tall in the face of adversity, resisting the onslaught of wind and waves, and becoming a symbol of resilience.
For years this tree had been a meeting spot for friends and families, a shady oasis on hot summer days, beacon to surfers and paddle boarders. Mentioning it would elicit smiles. It was a member of our community.
Some years ago it became the focus of Joerg Metzner’s photography project Omnipotence of Dream. At the beginning of 2020 Metzner set out to chronicle the tree once again. The result is the series of photos in this exhibit.
Joerg and many others knew what they had before it was gone.
Born and raised in the forests of the Harz Mountains of Germany, Metzner worked as a dental technician before moving to Ireland where he herded goats, photographed and painted. After traveling across Europe, he ended up in Los Angeles where he attended Santa Monica College of Design, Art and Architecture, which was founded in the spirit of the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College. The interdisciplinary nature of the curriculum became the foundation for his professional life as a graphic designer and photographer.
Metzner graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a BFA in Photography and Visual Communications and worked for various design firms and agencies in Chicago while all along maintaining his photography practice.
Metzner’s photography is narrative by nature, encompasses environmental portraits, landscape, documentary, editorial and fine art photography. Point him in any direction for a travel assignment and he will happily hit the road.

The images in Anthony Iacuzzi's exhibition titled \"Polytonal\" are a combination of monochromatic and color images of buildings located in Chicago's central business district. Some of the buildings captured by Iacuzzi with his digital SLR are iconic and easily recognizable, such as the main entrance to the Civic Opera House, or a south view of the Auditorium Building, while others are anonymous, generic and/or abstract. A few of the images vividly contrast architectural styles by superimposing one upon another in the frame. In the image titled \"Mondo Condo,\" taken in 2016, he focuses on the residential skyscrapers that have come to populate that part of the city. In this series, Iacuzzi endeavors to \"showcase the inherent beauty of some of the structures that make Chicago world famous for its wealth of architectural styles and innovation.\"
Anthony Iacuzzi is a graphic designer, art director and fine art photographer who has made Evanston, Illinois his home since 1980.

While somewhat house-bound and experimenting this past summer, Kurt Kramer decided to print a few photographs on watercolor paper. He loved the retro look and decided to use it as the basis for this collection titled \"Retrographs.\" For this exhibition, Kramer has drawn from images he has made over the past 22 years. He attributes his search for an old-fashioned sensibility partly to Perspective Gallery member Suzanne Metzel’s December 2019 exhibit of photogravure images.
Once captivated by the look and feel of antiquity, Kramer experimented with different papers and ultimately chose one made by Fabriano, an Italian manufacturer named after the village where paper has been produced since the 13th century. While these images have not been made with a centuries-old process, Kramer found the output on this paper to have the vintage look he sought.
In addition to the look, these images represent somewhat of a retrospective of Kramer's images captured since 1998. His selections are among the more pictorial images from this period. The small size of the images is significant as well because the tendency for 20-30 years has been to exhibit very large images.

Jessica Brewer Prugh’s new body of work titled, I Have Ridden Superhighways and Believed the Billboard’s Promises, consists of two large photo collages. According to Prugh, the title of the show is taken from Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s poem, Autobiography. After a year of taking very few photographs and even fewer trips, Prugh explains that she found herself traveling back through time by scrolling through photographs she had taken with her smartphone’s camera. Because of the changes that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about, she came to realize that those photos and trip memories had become nostalgia before their time. The two collages, one titled North, the other South, showcase this nostalgia. South is of places that are less familiar to the artist; whereas, North is closer to home – the Midwest. Both work together to offer an autobiographical glimpse of Ms. Prugh.

In his latest photography series, Washing Dishes, Jeffrie Chirchirillo explores the soap bubbles he has encountered while performing the mundane task of washing dishes. The bubbles he has captured take on many shapes and appearances. Some are large and resemble delicate crystals. Some are small and clustered into interesting configurations. Still others are transparent with a touch of iridescence. While others are as white as snow.
According to Chirchirillo, “Observing bubbles presents a diversion from the drudgery of washing dishes and pots and pans.” His visual celebration of bubbles allowed him to put together a unique body of work without risking exposure during the Covid-19 pandemic. By exploring the images closeup, as well as from a distance, his images present multiple views of the world of bubbles. With this show, Mr. Chirchirillo challenges viewers to slow down and take a closer look at the hidden beauty of soap bubbles.
Jeffrie Chirchirillo is a charter member of Perspective Group and Photography Gallery in Evanston. He has had several featured shows at the gallery which have included: nighttime landscapes along Michigan Avenue, Chicago; dancers performing at Native American Pow Wows; unique lanterns in a Chinese Lights Festival; rain drops on windows at night; and, the intricacies of icicles.
Jeffrie, a native Chicagoan, was raised in Wauconda, Illinois. His formal training is in biological and computer sciences. Pursuing these disciples has given him a sense of observation and attention to detail – skills that are directly applicable to his photography.

“Children hold nothing back—living somewhat feral days. There are heights of wonder, depths of terror. They are fully themselves, but what if I slowly discovered I am not who I thought I would be as a woman, as a mother? Everyday mishaps feel jarring. Noise threatens to unglue. Baking rarely occurs. I am terrified of being used up, of losing myself, of not actually knowing what coherent adult thoughts feel or sound like anymore. Capturing the collision between childhood and adult expectations illuminates a dim path through the Sisyphean mess. Perspective charges the horizon: maybe not in that exact second, maybe a year later. These are deeply personal days, rooted in this particular place, this season; yet, these are also moments of tension and joy.”
Ashleigh Coleman was born in the mountains of Virginia, reared in South Carolina, and for the last decade has lived in rural Mississippi. Through her photography, she is looking for her way home, searching for joy in chaos.
Her work has been exhibited across the United States, including solo shows at the Fischer Galleries in Jackson, MS, the University of Mississippi's Center for the Study of Southern Culture, and the Claire Elizabeth Gallery in New Orleans.

A Zoom Conversation with Bob Tanner will be held on Thursday, July 22nd at 7:00 p.m. Click HERE to register.
In 1996, following 36 years directing films and video, Bob Tanner returned to making expressive photographs. Among his early photographic subjects were dried and peeling avocado pits. Another 24 years passed and one evening after enjoying an avocado, Bob began to make photographs of the pits once again. This time he also included the skins of the dried fruit. Bob explains that, “Photographing common objects allows me to carry them into a new space. I enjoy working with the colors and textures of the avocado. I’m able to meld and merge the color palette with the various textural surfaces I find within the dried fruit.” Scale remains an important factor in all of Bob’s recent still-life photographic series and, What Was…Isn’t, is no exception. His subjects in this show are printed at about four times life size.
Tanner studied photography with Aaron Siskind, Harry Callahan and Frederick Sommer at the Institute of Design. He directed and produced films and video for over 30 years before returning to still photography. Bob has been a member of Perspective Group and Gallery since its founding in 2010.

What does an urban street photographer do when there is no one on the streets? Although he shot plenty of empty streetscapes, like many people last year, Howard Hart spent more time in the natural world than in the city. There he learned to slow down and look at things more closely. Consequently, he found that silence and stillness have a different type of visual interest that can be just as captivating as the chaos of the street. In his exhibition, \"Remains,\" at Perspective Gallery in Evanston, Hart presents us with his discovery of subtle and intricate patterns of light, texture and color that he discovered in the decomposing remains of plant life exposed by the melting snow of Spring.
Howard Hart is a charter member of Perspective Group and Photography Gallery in Evanston. He graduated from Ray Vogue College of Design, where he studied portraiture and photojournalism. His interest in photography was re-energized by classes at the Evanston Art Center, where he studied with Chris Schneberger, Angela Kelly and Dick Oberman. Hart is interested in the spontaneity of street photography and its ability to document small moments and hidden stories. He enjoys both darkroom printing and the versatility of digital photography.
The artists will discuss their work via Zoom on Thursday, August 26th at 7 p.m. To register for the artist talk click HERE.

In-Person Discussion with the Team: Thursday, September 23rd at 7 p.m.
See My Story is a collaborative, photography-based, multimedia project designed to raise awareness about homelessness in Evanston. It combines large scale portraits of homeless individuals by Doug Haight along with their personal stories. Working with project partners Connections for the Homeless and Interfaith Action, this community-based project invites local homeless individuals to powerfully share their personal narratives to offer deeper understanding of their often complicated lives. Each portrait and the accompanying story is the result of a relationship built on respect and trust that recognizes each participant as a unique individual with a story to tell – and learn from.
See My Story not only seeks to empower the subjects of the photographs but hopefully it will also inspire all homeless individuals in Evanston to see themselves with greater self esteem, equality and opportunity. The success of See My Story depends on bringing a diversity of people from all parts of Evanston, the Northshore and Chicago to experience the exhibit and participate in a community conversation that raises awareness about the challenges of homelessness and opportunities for better solutions.
See My Story has received grants from the Evanston Arts Council and the Evanston Community Foundation. Additional completion funds were raised through a See My Story Go Fund Me campaign of 47 friends and supporters. See My Story was originally scheduled to exhibit in April of 2020 but was delayed by the Covid pandemic. Some edits and additions have been made for the September 2021 exhibition.

In his series “Stories To Be Written,” objects discovered by chance by walking the sidewalks of Chicago are shown in their found context – the ground on which they rest and the towering environment around them. Their unwritten stories are like latent images waiting to be developed with the experience and personal bias of the viewer.
Each image was made by combining two photographs taken from one spot, the place where the object was found. At each location Steve Geer has chosen to look vertically straight-up and then straight-down. He then combined the images in the digital darkroom. Somehow our brains are able to disentangle these composite views and interpret the results. The Cubist painters understood our ability to do this when they constructed canvasses that showed multiple views of a subject. The merged up-down images in the present series can be thought of as the inverse of these Cubist paintings. Instead of looking at a fixed point from multiple directions we are looking outwards from a fixed point in two directions. According to Geer, \"The merged up-down images are perhaps relatively easy for us to interpret because we have strong expectations for what things should be up and what should be on the ground, and in sorting this out we begin to write our version of the unwritten story.\"
Steve grew up in England where photography and natural science were the passions of his youth. After completing studies in Physics at Liverpool University, Geer went on to work as an experimental physicist in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1987 he moved to the U.S. to teach Physics at Harvard University. His scientific career eventually brought him to Chicago to work at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois. It was in Chicagoland, at the time of the digital revolution, that Steve’s photography really took off when he began selling stock images. In 2015, Steve joined Perspective Group and Photography Gallery in Evanston, Illinois where he is currently on the gallery’s Board of Directors.
In recent years, Geer [www.stevegeer.com] has had his work featured in photography magazines, published in books and exhibited in galleries in the United States and Europe. His previous featured exhibitions at the Perspective Gallery have been: Chicago through the Looking Glass (February 2016), From the Ground Up (April 2017), One-sixth of a Second (February 2018), Discarded (June 2019), and River Ice (February 2020). Steve has recently been awarded with a Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society. Steve currently lives in Chicago with his wife, Liz, who is also a Fermilab scientist.

Poetry Reading at the Gallery: Thursday, November 11, 2021, 7-8:30 p.m.
Perspective Gallery Presents the Premiere Showing of \"Poetry and Photography\" by The P2 Collective
Exhibiting Artists: Maureen Tolman Flannery, Alexa Frangos, Steve Geer, Caroline Johnson, Suzanne Metzel, Wilda Morris, Susan T. Moss
According to Merriam-Webster ekphrasis is defined as a literary description of or commentary on a visual work of art. In practice the description or commentary does not have to be one-sided. A visual work of art can also be a description or commentary on something written.
In the summer of 2019, a group of Chicago area photographers and poets met to discuss the idea of pursuing an ekphrastic conversation between poetry and photography, a conversation in which one art-form inspires the other. For example, a photograph might inspire a poem, which in turn inspires another photograph, which then inspires another poem and so on.
The group eventually named itself The P2 Collective, a collaboration of four poets and three photographers. During these last two pandemic-constraining years, the P2 Collective has held online poetry readings in which accompanying photographic images have been displayed, and has produced several poetry-photography videos. The exhibition at the Perspective Gallery of Fine Art Photography in November 2021 is the first physical exhibition of the work of the collective and consists of excerpts from some of the P2 members’ favorite “conversations.”

According to Merriam-Webster ekphrasis is defined as a literary description of or commentary on a visual work of art. In practice the description or commentary does not have to be one-sided. A visual work of art can also be a description or commentary on something written.
In the summer of 2019, a group of Chicago area photographers and poets met to discuss the idea of pursuing an ekphrastic conversation between poetry and photography, a conversation in which one art-form inspires the other. For example, a photograph might inspire a poem, which in turn inspires another photograph, which then inspires another poem and so on.
The group eventually named itself The P2 Collective, a collaboration of four poets and three photographers. During these last two pandemic-constraining years, the P2 Collective has held online poetry readings in which accompanying photographic images have been displayed, and has produced several poetry-photography videos. The exhibition at the Perspective Gallery of Fine Art Photography in November 2021 is the first physical exhibition of the work of the collective and consists of excerpts from some of the P2 members’ favorite “conversations.”

Opening Reception at the Gallery: Saturday, January 8, 4–7 pm and Sunday, January 9, Noon–5 pm
Talk by Exhibition Curator: Sunday, January 23, 2 pm | To register for the online talk > CLICK HERE <
This January 2022, Perspective Gallery presents Through A New Lens, an exhibition by seven internationally-recognized iPhoneographers. The exhibit, curated by museum professional, art historian and photographer, Gina Costa, demonstrates a broad range of styles and approaches used by mobile technology. Works range from traditional, “straight” photographs, to abstract and highly “apped” works of art. Visitors to the exhibition will observe the incredible span of possibilities mobile technology permits.
The evolution of mobile photography can be understood as the logical next step of developments in the history of photography. Technically, what preceded the mobile photography movement led naturally to its adoption, becoming an important world-wide art movement. The camera on mobile phones has redefined picture-making within this historical arc, and has shifted the discourse and boundaries of what we consider a \"photograph”.
This exhibition provides a small glimpse to how a mobile device is not only a convenient device in one’s pocket, but also a powerful creative tool harnessed by these artists to redefine how we understand picture-making. The question before us now is: What is the next technical advancement mobile photography is paving the way for?
Exhibiting photographers are: Juta Jazz, of Cyprus; Manuela Matos Montiero, of Portugal; Amineh Hovanesian, of France and Iran; Oola Cristina Omichi of various global locations; Jane Schultz, Stephen Murphy and Gina Costa of the U.S.A.
Through A New Lens goes on view on Thursday, January 6, with a public reception on Saturday, January 8 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. Curator, Gina Costa, will give a talk on Sunday, January 23 at 4:00 p.m. The exhibition will be on view through Sunday, January 30.

Perspective Gallery presents 28 Days, a solo photography exhibit by Nelson W. Armour.
During May 2022, Perspective Gallery will host a new, solo exhibit by fine art photographer and Perspective Group member, Nelson W. Armour. Armour’s work, titled 28 Days, explores his progress through radiation treatments for prostate cancer. The work arose from issues and emotions related to longevity, trauma, malignancy, loss and the future, stemming from his diagnosis and subsequent 28 days of treatment. On his drive to the hospital each day, Armour stopped at South Beach in Evanston and photographed the same scene, with its variability, its moods, its challenges and its colors. Accompanying these images in the exhibit are constructed works exploring how advanced technologies impact people’s health.
Due to the recent rise of Covid-19 cases, the Opening Reception will now be a registered “timed-entry” event from 4-7 p.m. on Saturday, May 7, 2022. Masks will be required. Please register HERE.
Nelson Armour will discuss his work at a virtual artist’s reception on Thursday, May 19, 2022 at 7 p.m. Attendees to the virtual artist discussion are asked to register HERE. The exhibit will close on Sunday, May 29, 2022.
Perspective Group and Photography Gallery is a not-for-profit, community-oriented cooperative whose purpose is to promote fine art photography. In addition to monthly group and featured artists exhibitions, the gallery features a guest speaker lecture series, monthly artist talks, an annual national juried exhibition, an annual invitational show; an annual Vicinity exhibition, and an annual juried show for Chicago-area high school students.

This June, Perspective Gallery is pleased to present recent work by one of its newest members, Kambua Chema; and, by one of its founding members, Suzanne Metzel.
Kambua Chema’s collection of images, Postcards of Morocco, are a snapshot of moments throughout Morocco printed on Hahnemühle paper. Each image presents a unique personal experience that provides a sense of place and keepsake in the form of a picture postcard from a place that has come to feel like home to her.
Suzanne Metzel’s series, Still Life, is a collection of photopolymer gravure prints of natural subjects. With the help of UV light, these images have been transferred to steel-backed plates which are then inked and printed by hand with an etching press. The technique is the perfect vehicle to reveal nature’s inherent beauty.
The exhibit opens on Thursday, June 2 with a public reception on Saturday, June 4 from 5-7 p.m. Chema and Metzel will give an artist talk on June 16. The show closes June 26.
Perspective Group and Photography Gallery is a not-for-profit, community-oriented cooperative of fine art photographers whose purpose is to promote fine art photography.

This June, Perspective Gallery is pleased to present recent work by one of its newest members, Kambua Chema; and, by one of its founding members, Suzanne Metzel.
Kambua Chema’s collection of images, Postcards of Morocco, are a snapshot of moments throughout Morocco printed on Hahnemühle paper. Each image presents a unique personal experience that provides a sense of place and keepsake in the form of a picture postcard from a place that has come to feel like home to her.
Suzanne Metzel’s series, Still Life, is a collection of photopolymer gravure prints of natural subjects. With the help of UV light, these images have been transferred to steel-backed plates which are then inked and printed by hand with an etching press. The technique is the perfect vehicle to reveal nature’s inherent beauty.
The exhibit opens on Thursday, June 2 with a public reception on Saturday, June 4 from 5-7 p.m. Chema and Metzel will give an artist talk on June 16. The show closes June 26.
Perspective Group and Photography Gallery is a not-for-profit, community-oriented cooperative of fine art photographers whose purpose is to promote fine art photography.

Verna Peterson Todd’s exhibit We Left Home, began as a way for her to know her quiet dad more deeply. Exactly 100 years ago, her father emigrated as a 17-year-old from the Swedish area of Finland to Hoquiam, Washington. From family photographs, her dad’s diaries and stories, trips to the old country, and elderly family members’ remembrances, Todd has created a photographic history of her father’s journey. Her series also explores the influences that shaped the man he became – folk culture, history, religion, immigration issues and family tragedy.

This August, Perspective Gallery is pleased to present recent work by two of its veteran members, Jeffrie Chirchirillo and Verna Peterson Todd.
The title of Jeffrie Chirchirillo’s series is “'Bad Weather Makes for Good Photography\"…Ansel Adams. This iconic quote was not only the inspiration for this work, it also provided motivation. In his series, Chirchirillo explores Chicago’s Lincoln Park during a raging snowstorm. Despite the many technical and physical challenges which the storm presented, he was able to produce a compelling body of work.
Verna Peterson Todd’s exhibit We Left Home, began as a way for her to know her quiet dad more deeply. Exactly 100 years ago, her father emigrated as a 17-year-old from the Swedish area of Finland to Hoquiam, Washington. From family photographs, her dad’s diaries and stories, trips to the old country, and elderly family members’ remembrances, Todd has created a photographic history of her father’s journey. Her series also explores the influences that shaped the man he became – folk culture, history, religion, immigration issues and family tragedy.
The show opens on Thursday, August 4, 2022. There will be a public reception on Saturday, August 6, 4-7 p.m.; masks will be required. The exhibit will close on Sunday, August 28.

Perspective Gallery is proud to present a new show by fine art photographer, Katsy Johnson. It will be the first public viewing of her work in several years. Titled The Wild Waning West, Johnson’s work revolves around the decline of old tourist spots and cowboy towns in the western United States. Her hand-painted photographs, while being large in size, are reminiscent of old mass-produced travel postcards from the 20s through the 50s.
The Wild Waning West opens on Thursday, September 1, and runs through Sunday, September 25. There will be a public reception on Saturday, September 10 from 5 to 7 PM, and Katsy will give an artist talk on Sunday, September 18 at 7 PM.

Susan Isaacson’s work, Suspended explores meditative spaces. During the pandemic, days manifested a slower pace, creating the sensation that Susan was floating through time. As her world drew smaller, she sought the expansiveness of surrounding skies and seascapes and grew highly attuned to fleeting moments flowing by. This collection of minimalist images echoes the quiet restraint of Haiku poetry.
The show opens Thursday, September 29th with a public reception Saturday, October 8th from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 pm. Susan and Dianne will give a virtual artist’s talk on Thursday, October 20th from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Please register for this event on the Perspective Gallery website. The show will close Sunday October 30th.

Dianne L. Kittle’s work, The Marvelous: Transformation of the Ordinary is an invitation to explore and experience inner landscapes using creative imagination as a gateway to the subconscious. Dreams, memories, and experiences become sources for making inner thoughts tangible. The resulting work provokes a meditative understanding and creates a space for the mind to wander or rest.
The show opens Thursday, September 29th with a public reception Saturday, October 8th from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 pm. Susan and Dianne will give a virtual artist’s talk on Thursday, October 20th from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Please register for this event on the Perspective Gallery website. The show will close Sunday October 30th.

This October, Perspective Gallery is pleased to present recent work by two of its newer members Susan Isaacson and Dianne Kittle
Susan Isaacson’s exhibit, Suspended explores meditative spaces. During the pandemic, days manifested a slower pace, creating the sensation that Susan was floating through time. As her world drew smaller, she sought the expansiveness of surrounding skies and seascapes and grew highly attuned to fleeting moments flowing by. This collection of minimalist images echoes the quiet restraint of Haiku poetry.
Dianne L. Kittle’s project, The Marvelous: Transformation of the Ordinary is an invitation to explore and experience inner landscapes using creative imagination as a gateway to the subconscious. Dreams, memories, and experiences become sources for making inner thoughts tangible. The resulting work provokes a meditative understanding and creates a space for the mind to wander or rest.

Perspective Gallery is proud to present a new show by fine art photographer, William Bridges. Titled “Channeling the Canal” this exhibit explores the visual landscape of a local waterway often dismissed as a utilitarian eyesore. This body of work leads the viewer to see the Canal from the perspective of both conscious observation and subconscious imagination. By varying its viewpoint, the show encourages us to experience this place as expressing its own mood, vacillating with the seasons, and occasionally manifesting an unexpected beauty.

Perspective Gallery is proud to present “The Alley Project” a new show by fine art photographer Monica Kass Rogers. Featuring works from Rogers’ three-year exploration of Chicago’s more than 1,900 miles of alleyways, “The Alley Project” presents unexpected abstract views that showcase the “extra” in the ordinary.
“Beautiful sculptural shapes, deep textures, and “paintings” made by scratches, graffiti-removal and the weathering of time, were all there for the finding,” says Rogers, whose work gives a lingering glimpse of Chicago’s past, visible in layers of peeling paint, tilting garage doors, dumpster bins, and patched-over pylons. Her rules for the project were simple: To leave what she found undisturbed, manipulating nothing, capturing with her cameras only what was there. The resulting imagery is full of mystery, pareidolia and whimsy.

Perspective Gallery’s January 2023 Exhibition: Lincoln and Alice: Works by Julie Cowan and Julie Meridian
Julie Cowan's recent works about Abraham Lincoln will be shown in the Perspective Gallery in Evanston. Motivated by an artist residency about Lincoln, Cowan researched and became entangled in the complicated ideas and person who was Abraham Lincoln. She set out to create a series of works to demonstrate the proposition that we can and should deeply think about, admire and always question our history. Cowan uses lithography and other drawing techniques in these works on paper, always starting with a photographic image.
The title of Julie Meridian's series is Alice. Her project is an adventure into the realm of childhood and curiosity. But also, like Lewis Carroll’s themes in Alice in Wonderland, it’s an archetypal story about time and memory, about love and grief, about seeing the magic in ordinary things and abandoning all caution to take a risk.
The show opens on Thursday, January 5th, 2023 There will be a public reception on Saturday, January 7th 4-7 p.m. Cowan and Meridian will discuss their work during a presentation on Thursday, January 19th, at 7 p.m. The exhibit will close on Sunday, January 29th.

Dianne Kittle's series, Primordial Collection, is a new body of work investigating creativity in relation to consciousness. This project explores awareness, individuality, and the metamorphosis we experience as we move through our lives. Kittle taps into waking, dreaming, and sleeping states for image-making ideas. The artwork is created by combining an image base on inkjet paper, image transfers, ink, paint, and traditional Japanese paper.

Anthony Iacuzzi's series, Body Language, is a curated retrospective of informal, mostly candid, portraits of individuals whom he has encountered while traveling in Japan, Italy, Switzerland, and the United States. The image titles reflect his subjective perception of the emotion, attitude, and/or state of mind that each person is projecting. The photographs were digitally enhanced to emphasize the subject’s body language. Iacuzzi welcomes viewers to make their interpretations of what each individual is communicating.

He invites the viewer to make their own interpretation of each individual’s body language.

Perspective Gallery is pleased to present \"Student Perspectives 2023,\" our twelfth annual juried exhibition of photography by Chicago area high school students. This year, 180 students from 15 area high schools submitted over 450 images. Of those, images by 37 students were selected for the exhibition.
Our juror this year was Aimée Beaubien, an artist living and working in Chicago. Her cut-up photographic collages, installations and artist books explore networks of meaning and association between the real and the ideal. A photographed plant, interlaced vine, woven topography merge into fields of color and pattern and back again expanding the ever more complicated sensations of reading a photograph and experiencing nature. Beaubien’s work has been exhibited and published nationally and internationally. Aimée Beaubien is an Associate Professor of Photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, IL where she has taught since 1997.

Enjoy the work of each photographer individually and discover similarities and differences between the collections captured by these two artists roaming very different streets with their cameras.
Kurt Kramer takes pleasure in capturing the smaller, more intimate environs of urban life. Rather than focusing on monumental or heavily trafficked areas, he seeks out the spaces that we often walk by in our daily routines. Through careful selection of viewpoint, timing, and lighting he aims to create visually striking compositions that showcase the beauty of these often-overlooked locations. Frequently punctuating his photographs with a human presence, he strives to capture the perfect moment when a subject's location, movements, and gestures add layers of meaning to the scene. Kramer will be presenting photographs in both color and black-and-white, with all images captured in Chicago in the last three years.
Howard Hart's photographs emphasize quiet moments in public spaces. His photos were taken on otherwise hectic visits to Spain, Hungary, Romania, Argentina, and Mexico. Hart is intrigued that even the most minimal human presence - a lone individual, a quiet chat among friends, or a simple pair of shoes – can transform otherwise characterless, vacant spaces into stages for infinitely possible narratives. His black-and-white photographs highlight the quality of thoughtfulness and introspection suggested by the isolation of his subjects and the emptiness of their environment.

Artists' Talk: Thursday, August 17, 2023 7 p.m.
Perspective Gallery is proud to present a new show by fine art photographers, Iris Lutz & Tobin Fraley. Lutz’s exhibit is titled Kissed by City Light while Fraley’s work is called Room 426. In Kissed by City Light, Lutz seeks fragments of poetry in the play of light and shadow when she explores the unique urban charm of Chicago. Light rays beam through narrow spaces between high-rises, sun rays filter through the metal structures of L trains and bridges, stray light sparkles in shadows on brick and alley walls and reflects in windows and water. Iris creates chiaroscuro images where light embraces silhouetted people and buildings and where darkness lays a velvet cover over the city chaos. The photos in the series Kissed by City Light are like the photographer’s words in a love letter to Chicago. On the other hand, Fraley’s exhibit explores the myriad landscapes within the confines of a single hotel room in Fresno, California on a rainy Sunday afternoon, expressed in both words and images.

Peering from above, the artist captures ephemeral patterns in the ebb and flow of wind, tides, and water, and more improbably, in the residue left by the coming and going of traffic in a parking garage. In viewing images that reproduce and enhance these patterns, we are led to a place of meditation where we can contemplate impermance and transition in our own experience of the world.
Bob Tanner, a graduate of the Institute of Design exhibits his work locally and internationally. His photography will appear in the Evanston Art Center's 2023 Biennial Exhibition.

Perspective Gallery is proud to welcome Jeff Phillips to our lecture series, Perspectives on Photography. Jeff writes, \"By definition, AI is not photography. Yet, the images it produces can deceive even the most discerning eye, blurring the boundaries between AI-created content and traditional light- and lens-based photographs.
\"For photographic artists and practitioners, this may conjure fears of displacement, uncertainty about livelihoods, artistic integrity, and the authenticity that underpins our work – and rightfully so. We will consider each of these areas of concern, while also exploring AI's potential to empower visual artists with new tools that can streamline workflows and invigorate creativity.
\"A live demonstration will use verbal prompts from the audience to generate images in real time, revealing AI's surprising strengths and (often hilarious) weaknesses\"
Jeff Phillips is Board President for Filter Photo, and since 2009 has helped produce the week-long Filter Photo Festival. He is also the creator of the vernacular photography exhibition, Lost and Found: The Search for Harry and Edna.
Jeff has lectured at Columbia College Chicago, School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), and other leading arts education institutions. He holds an M.A. in Photography and Integrated Media and a B.A. in Applied Technology from DePaul University in Chicago.

Please join us for a Book Signing and Q&A as we learn about a unique photo journal that can guide difficult cancer conversations. On the day of her first diagnosis, Asher made the decision to photograph and journal her life as a cancer patient.Initially, it was to remember what she looked like before and to compare with her transformed body. Over the years, photo journaling her fight with this life-threatening disease evolved into so much more—it became a witness, a meditation, and a testament
For photographer father, Warren Perlstein, immersing himself in documenting this journey became a life-saving and life-affirming creative practice. Through it, he realized once again that \"Art is Healing.\"

Perspective Gallery is proud to present the work of photographic artists Jeffrie Chirchirillo and Susan Isaacson. In his series, The Water Lily Family Photo Album; The Early 2000's—Volume I, Jeffrie Chirchirillo explores the diversity of water lilies and their close relative the lotus. Even though these plants are native to hostile aquatic environments, they bring a unique sense of peace, tranquility, enlightenment, and beauty that has enthralled civilizations for thousands of years. Consequently, they are revered and have profound symbolic meanings. Through his photography, Jeffrie surveys the unique qualities of these aquatic plants—their floating leaves and delicate looking flowers. By photographing water lilies and lotus plants Jeffrie shares in the calm and tranquility they evoke. Enlightenment? That is another matter.
We Share The Same Breath, is a diptych series Susan Isaacson made during the transitional period when her daughters left home to set out on their own. Wrestling with the loss of their physical presence, Susan sought solace in cycles of nature and reflected on generations past. She traced the memory of her maternal lineage through familial artifacts and handed-down apparel. Ultimately, five generations of women are represented in this work, which became an expression of the invisible bonds that endure. Susan received an honorable mention in the 19th Annual Julia Margaret Cameron Awards for this project and is a 2023 Critical Mass Finalist.

Perspective Gallery is proud to present a show by photographers William Harper and Kaushik Sunder Rajan.
Harper’s work titled The Path of Line explores lines in nature as paths. Harper writes, \"A path is taken or made and leaves a trace: the line. These photographs and videos use various photographic techniques to observe and record these marks. The recordings show a close relationship between the flight paths of birds and airplanes; the expression of plant growth, lightning, and fractures of decay; the building of roads and the formation of stream beds. Each line illustrates a relationship to time, space, nature, and to individual and group histories, necessities and propensities.
Sunder Rajan’s work, titled Time is Caught Between Breath and Mourning, explores themes of loss and remembrance by attending to the ephemerality of everyday encounters, and the moments of pause and reflection they engender. He explains, \"They are about interludes, punctuations, memories. About spaces of intimacy, and traces of others that haunt me. About learning to live in the moment and learning to live with ghosts. They are a way of coming to terms with loss, but also of taking the time to breathe. About refusing to let time simply be a number or a measure that passes us by.\"

What is the nature of this connection? Is it direct, indirect, subtle, overt, obscured, understood or not? On the flip side, disconnection can bring pain, isolation and confusion, whether that happens through conflict, trauma, or even responses to our race, nationality or religious beliefs.
For this themed exhibit, Perspective members were asked to submit images “covering the gamut of ways that we connect as humans to others, to the natural world, to the spirit world - or portraying disconnection or isolation, the feeling of being excluded or left behind.” During the selection process, twenty-two images were chosen representing the interpretations of the following artists: Nelson Armour, William Bridges, Jeffrie Chirchirillo, Jane Feeley, Tobin Fraley, Alexa Frangos, Steve Geer, Doug Haight, William Harper, Anthony Iacuzzi, Susan Isaacson, Katsy Johnson, Iris Lutz, Suzanne Metzel, Kaushik Sunder Rajan, Monica Kass Rogers, Christopher Schneberger, Paula Shur, Donna Wesley Spencer, Bob Tanner, Verna Todd, and Christopher Walker.

Jane Feely writes \"For me, photography and memories are inextricably linked. I have always used images to record what I wish to remember. Now I also make images that prompt me to say, 'Oh, that reminds me of …'
'Fragmented' melds these trigger images with hazy snippets of childhood memories and old family photos, sparking a personal, emotional journey into my past.\"
Photographer and author Tobin Fraley spent eight years exploring a nature preserve he names \"36 Acres\", producing a statement about what is lost each time any area of wilderness is leveled for new development. Fortunately for the residents of the area around Long Grove, Illinois this small parcel of land is well-protected, but thousands of other acres across the globe that are just as lush, beautiful and filled with biodiversity, are disappearing each day.

As part of its continuting Perspectives on Photography lecture series, the gallery is excited to host a hybrid in-person, on-line talk presented by Jeffery A. Wolin with commentary by David Travis and Christopher Schneberger.
Beginning with his first job as a police photographer and then throughout his career, photographer Jeffrey A. Wolin has turned his camera towards capturing how the effects of war, poverty, and trauma have impacted the drama of human existence. And even within the tragedies inherent in these experiences, he has been able to capture the light of the individual’s spirit. By combining words within images, Wolin creates a world that acts as an homage to the people he has portrayed.
After the lecture, Wolin will be signing copies of his recent book, Measuring Time, published by Kehrer Verlag, and created to accompany a retrospective of his work at the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University.

Wolin’s photographs have been exhibited in over 100 exhibitions in the US and Europe, including solo shows at the Art Institute of Chicago, International Center of Photography in New York, George Eastman Museum in Rochester and the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago and group exhibitions at MoMA, Whitney Museum, and LA County Museum of Art.
His photographs are in the permanent collections of numerous museums around the U.S. and Europe. In addition to Measuring Time, he has published six other books and monographs.

This June, Perspective Gallery is proud to present photographs from the last project of our late colleague, Sandra Ullman. An artist and Doctor of Psychology, Sandra devoted her life to the inner workings of human complexity. In “Slipping Away,” her final body of work, she has woven beauty into despair.
“Slipping Away” unfolds behind the scenes, no longer centered on the image or narration. Instead, Sandra fixates on what endures– picture hangers left on the walls where photos might have been or frames no longer holding images. Contemplating the meaning of images slipping from their pristine mats, she employs tape, the sort that sticks to everything but harms nothing. She actively engages hope as she faces transience, “storing away” a few recovered images in the appreciable structure of these long-cherished household elements.

If you’ve ever looked up at the cloud-filled sky and seen drifting hippos, floating castles, or cartoon clowns, Kass Rogers’ series, “Floats of Fancy,” is a journey with water-immersed fibers that will resonate with you. And making the mundane marvelous, Bridges’ “Inside/Outside,” recasts ordinary household objects as timeless monuments in landscape settings.
Concordantly, each series conjures images of unreal worlds that encourage viewers to suspend disbelief. At first glance, the two series appear to approach time in radically different ways. Rogers’ clouds flow with an inherent dynamism; Bridges’ implements are solid and static. But as these are juxtaposed, profound questions emerge: Can time ever be escaped? Are the static and the dynamic simply two sides of an unknowable coin?
Bridges says, “I love these ordinary things. I love the way a three-pound hammer feels in my hand, the way a funnel guides free-flowing liquids, or a rubber glove shields fragile skin from harsh chemicals. I think they deserve to be contemplated, admired and esteemed.” But, “how serious should a potato peeler be?” he asks. “Does anyone imbue a bottle brush with religious or philosophical significance?” Bridges answer with his photography series “Inside/Outside,” is both an act of affection and whimsy.
Meanwhile, with magic in mind, writer photographer Kass Rogers says she spent a season floating clouds in water, “Fabric clouds, that is, which shifted even faster than clouds in the sky. I experimented with many fabrics to find some that didn’t immediately sink, dyed some of them into colors that pleased me, then twirled them into the water and waited to see how they would bloom and shift.” Shooting through the glass of a huge water tank as the fabrics billowed, she clicked away, amazed at the imaginary figures each suggested. “What viewers will see is as individual as they are,” she says. “I wish everyone so much fun in the finding!

Event Date: Thursday, August 29th
Doug Haight is a wanderer. Especially with camera in hand, he loves to walk and explore new places, especially locations that are remote, off the beaten path and far from his home. He finds inspiration across the tracks, down long dead end streets and alone in nature. Wandering the Sahara grew out of a trip to Morocco in 2020. Far from the bustling medinas of Fez and Marrakech, the Sahara Desert at dawn drew him in to its stark beauty and ephemeral nature. He was struck by the feeling of a place that is the same as it was one thousand years ago, yet different than last year or even last week or last night. It is alive with the potential to shift, grow and bury what it pleases. ‘Swallowed by the desert’, as the saying goes. He felt it.
These immense outlines emerged seemingly insurmountable and endless. All sky and sand with waves of texture and grandeur. Scale blurred by stillness. Forms and lines appeared, daring him to explore them within a frame. These endless curves led his eye to the bluest heavens and the darkest shadows. He came across wooden poles seemingly set in as straight of a line as the desert would allow. Could they have been a fence? Here? Even together they would not keep anything in or out, yet their line echoes the flow of dunes, as if someone had set them there for him to photograph only to remove them that very night.
The Sahara captivates like nothing you can imagine. He has never felt as if he had only barely scratched the surface of the extent of a place as he did walking away from the Sahara Desert. If he were to return every year or even every month, he is certain that it would appear different every time and he would feel something different every time and he would capture something different every time. He typically photographs people and street photography because he finds them full of life yet impossible to fully capture in any single frame. With the Sahara, he found the same mysteries in what might seem simple.

Excited, she dashed home to collect her camera gear, and rushed back to catch this wonder. That tree with its rainbow of lichen launched this exhibit.
The one square block where she lives became her favorite meeting place with the trees. All she had to do was slip out the door and open her eyes. The bark was at eye level so it was easy to see up close – her number one way to photograph. Each tree offered up its secrets as she spent time with it and paid it attention.
Trees have captured the imaginations of folk since humans came to inhabit the earth. In symbols, ancient cultures throughout the world recognized the depth of their connection with trees. Consider for example the Tree of Life; the World Tree that unites heaven, earth, and underworld; the Cross; and the myths that tell of people who grew roots and bark and became trees.
It’s easy to relate to a tree. With sturdiness and style, it offers shelter in the rain or exhausting heat. It raises its boughs, so much like human arms; it whispers in the wind. And what other living thing can you stand beside that creates soil, shares food with its neighbors, provides medicine to heal them, and pulls together carbon dioxide and water to form the very air we breathe?
Without the quiet labor of trees, we ourselves would not survive. And without the protection of their bark, these vital trees would perish.

In these dramatic Saharan landscapes he plays with scale, light and color to show us the beauty of the desert as pure form and pattern. You will be lost in these images of grandeur and the stillness of ‘Wandering the Sahara.’
Verna Todd, in contrast, takes an up close look at tree bark primarily on the one square block where she lives. Using a macro lens, she reveals the colors and patterns that escape the busy everyday eye. Her work discovers ‘A World in the Bark of a Tree,’ and finds grace and elegance in the commonplace, the ancient, and even the bizarre. She dares you to see who your neighbors really are.

A joint exhibition features work by artists Susan Isaacson and Katsy Johnson
Virtual Artists Talk, On-line, Thursday,October 17th, 7 PM
Perspective Gallery’s October show, “The Power of Place: Geographical Memories and Identity,” features two new series of work by artists Susan Isaacson and Katsy Johnson. Stylistically, Isaacson’s black-and-white, “At Silver Lake” images, and Johnson’s “Second City DNA” mixed media pop pieces are very different bodies of work. But both series invite viewers to reflect on the deep connections between personal history, memory and the environments that shape us.
Delving into the space between memory and imagination, Isaacson’s, “At Silver Lake” began as an exploration of personal photographic archives—images that evoked the sense of wonder and curiosity Isaacson experienced growing up along the shores of her family lake home. While re photographing vintage slides, Isaacson invited refracted light, environmental intrusions, and focal plane shifts to transform the images.
Meanwhile, Johnson's, “Second City DNA,” is an exploration of identity and memory, through the lens of a southern transplant. Johnson moved to Chicagoland 30 years ago and “Second City DNA” reflects on her adopted identity in unique multi-media pieces that blend photographs, acrylic paint and charcoal.

Chicago-based Fielding studied with Aaron Siskind and Harry Callahan at the Rhode Island School of Design, where he received his BFA, continuing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for his MFA in 1980. Since then, Fielding’s photographic explorations have taken him to Peru, Greece, Egypt, Spain, France, Mexico, Portugal, and throughout the United States. He has been photographing in Italy for more than forty-five years.
Fielding’s photographs have been widely collected and exhibited, and are represented in private and public collections, including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Art Institute of Chicago; Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego; International Center of Photography, New York and more. Included among his many published monographs are: “City of Secrets: Photographs of Naples,” “Look at me: Photographs from Mexico City,” and “Encounter,” which Fielding will be signing after his presentation.

Although the images in a series are similar, each is unique. This attests to the fleeting nature of reflections on water.

Kurt Kramer captures the intimate and beautiful environs that we pass through daily. He presents photographs of these scenes, and the people in them, in his exhibit “All Around Us”. Through careful selection of viewpoint, timing, and light he creates visually striking compositions that showcase the often-overlooked beauty. Punctuating each photograph with a human presence, he captures the perfect moment when a person’s location, movements, and gestures add interest and meaning. The exhibit includes color and black-and-white images captured in Chicago in the last 18 months. With his photographs, Kurt encourages viewers to observe the beauty and humanity that are … all around us.

The display gives a fascinating glimpse into the creative workings of each photographer’s mind as they explore the world “from the back and beyond.”
“It’s always exciting to see where people will go with a theme and having the chance to do this with all the members in one show, makes it more special,” says member Monica Kass Rogers. “No two photographers approach a subject the same way.”
Creating with “Flipside” in mind, the imagery Perspective members produced runs the gamut from humorous, to darkly abstract, to dreamlike and conceptual. Artists exhibiting in the show include Nelson Armour, William Bridges, Jeffrie Chirchirillo, Jane Feely, Tobin Fraley, Alexa Frangos, Doug Haight, William Harper, Anthony Iacuzzi, Susan Isaacson, Monica Kass Rogers, Kurt Kramer, Suzanne Metzel, Christopher Schneberger (emeritus), Paula Shur, Bob Tanner, Verna Todd and Chris Walker.

Curated by William Harper, the show opens on January 30 and runs through February 23, and features the work of eight Chicago artists showing an extraordinary variety of images that invoke photography in the AI assisted generation of images.
Exhibition Overview: This groundbreaking exhibit invites visitors to pass through the true-story telling space created by photography into an uncanny world of impossible possibilities. The new creative openings presented by artificial intelligence challenge artists use this new tool to claim new territories of expression in their practice. Each of the eight artists in this show have found a unique voice in this adventure.
Curator: William Harper curates this show. A photographer, videographer, and composer, whose work has been exhibited internationally, Harper teaches courses in music and imaging at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Artists' Talk at the Gallery Thursday, April 17th, 7 PM
Steve Geer presents On Chicago Streets, a group of 11 images of interactions between people and their environment on the streets of Chicago. These photographs do not feature special occasions or grand newsworthy events but show snippets of everyday life, scenes that are familiar and that we can identify with. As viewers we become like the photographer, flaneurs. We empathize with the strangers shown in the photographs and try to imagine ourselves in their shoes. Since the images present familiar interactions between people, they ultimately are about human nature and hence about us, the audience.
Anthony Iacuzzi's exhibition of AI-augmented photography is titled Imaginings: Exploring the Intersection of Human and Machine. This exhibition presents a series of 15 diptychs, each juxtaposing an original photograph with its AI-augmented counterpart. The project delves into the evolving relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence, exploring how these technologies can both enhance and challenge our perceptions of reality.By employing AI prompts and other tools within Photoshop, the artist has invited the \"machine\" to reimagine the visual world, offering unexpected interpretations and unforeseen aesthetic possibilities.

Steve Geer presents On Chicago Streets, a group of 11 images of interactions between people and their environment on the streets of Chicago. These photographs do not feature special occasions or grand newsworthy events but show snippets of everyday life, scenes that are familiar and that we can identify with. As viewers we become like the photographer, flaneurs. We empathize with the strangers shown in the photographs and try to imagine ourselves in their shoes. Since the images present familiar interactions between people, they ultimately are about human nature and hence about us, the audience.
Anthony Iacuzzi's exhibition of AI-augmented photography is titled Imaginings: Exploring the Intersection of Human and Machine. This exhibition presents a series of 15 diptychs, each juxtaposing an original photograph with its AI-augmented counterpart. The project delves into the evolving relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence, exploring how these technologies can both enhance and challenge our perceptions of reality.By employing AI prompts and other tools within Photoshop, the artist has invited the \"machine\" to reimagine the visual world, offering unexpected interpretations and unforeseen aesthetic possibilities. The results are a blend of the familiar and the fantastical, where recognizable scenes are transformed by the software algorithm and the imagination of the artist.This exhibition invites viewers to contemplate the role of the artist in the age of AI. Is the human touch diminished or amplified by this collaboration? How do these augmented images challenge our understanding of authenticity and authorship?

Gabrielle Swidler: “Eye” (Juror’s Award Student Perspectives 2024)
New Orleans: A Personal Perspective. All cities are unique, instantly recognizable by anyone who has lived in or visited one of them. And yet New Orleans stands out for a number of reasons. Most notably because it is an island of diversity surrounded by a Southern ethos that disdains outliers, rejects joie de vivre, and limits personal freedoms. It is a city filled with music and food and dancing in the streets. Little is off limits and the alcohol flows with abandon while the blues pours out the doorways of hundreds of dim and dingy bars.
There is also an intrinsic age to New Orleans, an age that is difficult to find anywhere else in North America. A place where the Choctaw gathered for thousands of years to trade along the shores of the mighty Mississippi, where people’s souls were enslaved and traded, where immigrants found safety, except for some whose lives ended by swinging from a tree. Where current businesses flourish in buildings constructed 300 years ago and where jazz was born.
Over the past 25 years Tobin and wife, Rachel, have been visiting this extraordinary city, sometimes with camera in hand and sometimes without. The photographs exhibited are based on a very personal experience of New Orleans, capturing the play of light and shadow on the buildings and reflections in the ever-present water that permeates the entirety of the city. The images also encompass the human character that epitomizes the essence of New Orleans.

Hart’s Small Moments: Images from Egypt explores people and places away from monumental sites and the chaos of tourism. Hart’s black and white photographs document his personal impressions of Egypt though visually engaging images of small moments from everyday life. Hart is a charter member of Perspective Gallery and works in both analog and digital media.
Inspired by a line from a Mary Oliver poem, Every Day Has Something In It Whose Name is Forever, Rodrigues’ work explores time, perception, and the interplay of constraint and expansion. This series stems from a volume of daily photographs, beginning over three years ago, of a skylight in Rodrigues’ home. Presented in a variety of forms, from grids to interactive photo sculptures, this work plays with the notion of time presented as both rigid and fluid. It is an ongoing body of work that invites viewers to enjoy a moment of quiet introspection.

Gallery members Paula Shur and Chris Walker will be discussing their show, jointly titled Fragments and Shadows, and their diverging artistic responses to a world in flux.
Shur will be discussing A World Undone, and providing insight into her semi-abstract composites that place familiar forms in uncomfortable or unlikely spaces. Her images speak to the notion that the world, as we know it, is becoming increasingly fractured and her compositions hold a deep sense of psychological unease and societal volatility.
Walker will talk about Alchemy, a series in which he retreats to the analog and the meditative process of wet plate collodion photography. His botanical studies move beyond traditional decorative imagery, conjuring resilience from the dormant and damaged.
This free artists' talk will take place online via Zoom. Pre-registration is required and can be accessed via this link.

Perspective Gallery is pleased to announce Fugue, a solo exhibition of new photographic works by acclaimed music composer, and visual artist William Harper, opening January 2, 2026. In this striking series, Harper explores the visual equivalent of musical counterpoint through motion-intensive photographic techniques, including timelapse, burst sequencing, and drone-based imaging.
The exhibition features work that capture the dynamic patterns of landscapes and natural phenomena, revealing hidden harmonic relationships within movement. Each image or sequence becomes a “voice,” interacting with others to create a visual polyphony.
Fugue invites viewers to experience time, movement, and structure in a photographic decisive moment.

Starting the new year off on a strong note, Perspective Gallery is pleased to host Fugue, a solo exhibition of new photographic works by acclaimed music composer and visual artist William Harper.
In this striking series, Harper explores the visual equivalent of musical counterpoint through motion-intensive photographic techniques including time lapse, burst sequencing and drone-based imaging.
\"In Fugue, I see these images much as I hear music; both create a space where multiple lines can coexist on counterpoint, diverging, conflicting and resolving into a single structured event,\" Harper explains.
Rather than the decisive moment of traditional photographic techniques, these images record subjects moving through space and time with cameras that are, themselves, sometimes in motion. The work captures the dynamic patterns of landscapes and natural phenomena, revealing hidden harmonic relationships within movement. Each image or sequence become a \"voice\" interacting with others to create a visual polyphony.
The exhibition opens Friday, January 2 and runs through Sunday, February 1, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, January 10, from 5-7pm.

The Opening Reception will be held on Saturday, February 7th, 2026 from 5-7pm at Perspective Gallery. Guests will have the opportunity to experience the art firsthand and meet the artists. On Thursday, February 19th at 7 PM, Perspective will host an Virtual Artist’s Talk via Zoom on February 19th, 2026.The curator and the exhibiting artists will be present to answer your questions and discuss their work. Register here for the Artists’ Talk.
\"HOLD\" is a meditation on loss, distance, identity, and memory. This exhibition reflects the many ways images attempt to grasp what is already slipping away. Together, these works ask us to
consider what we keep, what we return to, and what holds us. We are invited to enter this space of continuum, where photographs become conduits between generations, between past and present, between the remembered and the reconstructed.

Join us this evening from 5-7pm at Perspective Gallery in Evanston for an opening reception for Hold, our invitational show featuring six artists currently pursuing their BFA in photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Curated by Aimée Beaubien, Professor and Chair, Department of Photography, SAIC, Hold is a meditation on loss, distance, identity and memory. The exhibition reflects the many ways images attempt to grasp what is already slipping away, asking us to consider what we keep, what we return to and what holds us.
Featured artists are:
Abigail Brooke Ackles @abi_brooke.jpg
Ethan Kunoff @ethankunoff.art
Isabel Lim @_isabellim
Collin Lust @carbon_lust
Sarah Price @sarahpricephotos
Dev Kili Stolkiner @dev_photographs
In this show, we are invited to enter a space of continuum, where photographs become conduits between generations, between past and present, between the remembered and the reconstructed. Childhood homes are revisited and family snapshots of everyday life are re-contextualized within the emotional architecture of belonging. These photographs invite us to look with, through and all around - to linger, to listen and to recognize the echoes of our own histories held in proximity.
The exhibition runs through Sunday, March 1, 2026 with a virtual artists' talk on Thursday, February 19 at 7pm. This Zoom event is free to join but preregistration is required. You can sign up for the talk here.

Armour’s ode to classroom teachers. Resulting from a two-year residency with “Artists in the Public Schools, formerly CPSLIves,” the project examines teaching and what it means to be a teacher. This photographic essay is an homage to the challenges, triumphs, hard work and effort of teaching, from the small details to the big picture.
“Teaching” opens on Thursday, April 2, 2026 with an Opening Reception on Saturday, April 4, 2026 from 5- 7 PM. The exhibit runs through Sunday, May 3, 2026. A Virtual Artist’s Talk will be held on Thursday, April 16, 2026 at 7 PM. To register for the talk, go to Perspective Gallery’s website, https://perspectivegallery.org/april-2026.
Armour was privileged to follow three teachers over two school years in two Chicago Public Schools, the Lázaro Cárdenas Elementary School in the Little Village area of Chicago (2021-22 school year) and the Michele Clark Academic Prep Magnet High School in the Austin neighborhood (2023-24 school year). This project, sponsored by Artists in the Public Schools, documents how teachers engage and relate to their students as individuals and classes.

Perspective Gallery is proud to present \"Homesick,\" Kathryn Rodrigues' solo exhibit.
This body of work utilizes the performative self-portrait as a feminist act of claiming space, rewriting boundaries, and reimagining what it means to belong. Begun over five years ago, Homesick examines the contrast of Rodrigues’ multinational, transient upbringing with her current life parenting in a Chicago suburb. The images embody a spectrum of emotions: dark humor, maternal frustration, yearning, and hopefulness. They reveal both comfort and discomfort, acknowledging the contradictions of domesticity as both refuge and constraint. Ultimately, this work celebrates the moments of rootedness Rodrigues attempts to build after a lifetime of movement.
Homesick opens on Thursday, June 4, 2026 with an Opening Reception on Saturday, June 6, 2026 from 5- 7 PM. The exhibit runs through Sunday, June 28, 2026. A Virtual Artist’s Talk will be held on Thursday, June 18, 2026 at 7 PM. To register for the talk, go to Perspective Gallery’s website.
Kathryn Rodrigues is a Chicago based artist and educator. Her photography-centered practice investigates the interconnectedness of identity, memory, motherhood, domestic life, and the natural world through a feminist lens. Kathryn received a BFA in Photography from the University of Illinois and a MS from the Massachusetts College of Art. Kathryn has completed residencies at Ragdale, Marwen and Stay Home Gallery. Her work has been featured on Lenscratch, Fraction, Analog Forever, and Float Magazine. She was a 2023 Photo Lucida Critical Mass finalist and 2024 Review Santa Fe participant. Her work was recently included in Kamira Institute’s Eyes on the World book published in 2025. Exhibition highlights include the Center for Fine Art Photography, Perspective Gallery, Mana Contemporary, Massachusetts College of Art, Filter Space, Spilt Milk Gallery, Center for Photographic Art, University of North Dakota, Manifest Gallery, Photographic Center Northwest, University of West Georgia, Photographic Resource Center and the Hyde Park Art Center.

We are delighted to welcome Jane Fulton Alt to our gallery for this in-person event, titled \"Threading the Needle: The Camera as Companion\".
After the discussion, Alt will be signing copies of her latest book, \"Still Life: A Photographer's Journey Through Grief and Gardening\". Following the unexpected death of her husband, Howard, Alt assumed responsibility for the nascent ecosystem he had planted in response to his growing concern over climate change. What began as daily stewardship gradually became a source of creative focus and sustenance amid mourning.
\"I was never a gardener,\" writes Alt, a statement that marks her abrupt turn toward caring for a landscape still in formation. If the garden represents new terrain, the camera remains constant, \"a potent combination in adjusting to this new life.\" Together the photographs, and accompanying texts, form a body of work in which personal loss finds expression through close attention to the living world.
Born in Chicago, Alt is an award-winning photographer who explores the universality of the human condition and the non-material world. Alt received a BA from the University of Michigan and an MA from the University of Chicago. She studied at the Evanston Art Center as well as at Columbia College and the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work is held in numerous permanent and private collections, both in the US and overseas, as well as in many special library collections. She is also the author of several books.

Homesick utilizes the performative self-portrait as a feminist act of claiming space, rewriting boundaries, and reimagining what it means to belong. Begun over five years ago, Homesick examines the contrast of Rodrigues’ multinational, transient upbringing with her current life parenting in a Chicago suburb. The images embody a spectrum of emotions: dark humor, maternal frustration, yearning, and hopefulness. They reveal both comfort and discomfort, acknowledging the contradictions of domesticity as both refuge and constraint. Ultimately, this work celebrates the moments of rootedness Rodrigues attempts to build after a lifetime of movement.
Homesick is open through Sunday, June 28, 2026.

Join Us in July for Vicinity 2026: What's Going On?\"; a juried exhibit of photographic artists from our region. Registration is available for the Virtual Artist's Talk here. Our juror Jan Tichy had this to say about the exhibition: \"Borrowing its title from Marvin Gaye’s enduring question and call for compassion, What’s Going On approaches photography as a form of witness. Questions of identity, labor, race, migration, ecology, intimacy, violence, memory, and belonging unfold through an overwhelming presence of portraiture. Yet these are not portraits seeking resolution or certainty. Instead, they register states of tension: vulnerability and performance, exhaustion and resilience, isolation and collective presence.\"
Jan Tichy, is a professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the departments of Photography and Art & Technology/Sound Practices. Besides being an educator and curator, Tichy is a contemporary artist working at the intersection of video, sculpture, architecture and photography.

Want to Know What's Going On? Perspective Gallery's current juried exhibition,Vicinity 2026: \"What's Going On?\" asked artists from our region to respond to Marvin Gaye's call for understanding.
What emerged is a portrait of Chicagoland. Juror Jan Tichy said, \"Like Gaye’s song, the exhibition resists a singular answer. It moves between grief and tenderness, alienation and empathy, critique and care. At a moment when public discourse is increasingly fragmented, these artists insist on sustained looking—not to resolve complexity, but to remain present within it.\" Learn about the ways the song inspired them at our Virtual Artists' Talk on Thursday, July 9th from 7-8pm. Registration is available for the Virtual Artists' Talk here.

Perspective Gallery is excited to host ar•ti•facts, a new exhibition by members Jeffrie Chirchirillo and Jane Feely. While each photographer turns their lens toward very different subject matter, their images find a commonality in approach, highlighting the beauty and meaning in often overlooked, sometimes intimate, scenes.
Chirchirillo brings us Light Filtering Through Leaves, images which capture the annual light show he experiences when the roof of his greenhouse essentially becomes a large light box. Variations in light, weather and the decaying of the spent leaves all add to the magic, resulting in images akin to unique, natural stained-glass windows.
In Imprints of the Past, Feely captures Tenby, the small Welsh fishing town where her family has lived for centuries. By exploring still-visible artifacts of the past, she touches the imprints of her ancestors, acknowledging those from whom she descends. The resulting work reflects on themes of belonging, continuity and lineage.

Currently on display at Perspective Gallery is ar•ti•facts, an exhibition featuring new work by gallery members Jeffrie Chirchirillo and Jane Feely. While each artist focuses on their own specific subject matter, both are able to highlight the beauty and meaning in often overlooked, sometimes intimate, scenes.
Chirchirillo presents Light Filtering Through Leaves, images capturing the annual light show when the roof of his greenhouse collects fallen leaves and becomes a giant light box. \"Initially the hackberry leaves are as bright as a school bus and slowly turn to the color of crusty bread,\" he writes. \"The grapevine leaves are more dynamic. They start out as dark green. Some transform to bright oranges and yellows, others become copper or rust colored. Ultimately they become brown.\"
In Imprints of the Past, Feely captures Tenby, the small Welsh fishing town where her family has lived for centuries. By exploring still-visible artifacts of the past she reaches out to touch the imprints of her ancestors, acknowledging those from whom she descends. \"This is a place of memories and of whispers of the past, a place of continuity and connection where family heirlooms and mementoes reside,\" she writes. \"This work allows me to reflect on identity and belonging and to recognize where self dwells.\"
The exhibition runs through Sunday, August 30, 2026. A virtual artists' talkwill take place on Thursday, August 20 at 7pm. This Zoom event is free to join but preregistration is required. Please sign up for the talk here.

Perspective Gallery is proud to present a new show by fine art photographer, Maria Finitzo. It will be the first public viewing of her work, titled, Ice & Light which revisits a body of photographs made in 1993 on Ellesmere Island in the Canadian High Arctic, one of the most remote and rapidly changing landscapes on earth. Unresolved at the time of their making, the original color transparencies were set aside for three decades before being rediscovered. Their return underscores both the material endurance of analog photography and the fragility of the subjects depicted. The ice shelves of northern Ellesmere Island, among the oldest in the Northern Hemisphere, have since undergone significant loss due to climate change, rendering these images a record of a landscape in disappearance.
The Gallery will also host a companion show by Perspective member William Bridges. Titled “MY Photographic Memory?”, this exhibit features recent work in which he explores an alternate possible linkage between memory and photography. He writes, “Some people are said to have “photographic memories”, the ability to recall comprehensive, detailed pictures of everything they have ever seen.

The artists will give a talk about their work on Thursday, September 17 at 7pm. Please note: This will be an in-person event, held at Perspective Gallery.
Perspective Gallery in Evanston is excited to host an exhibition featuring new work by gallery members Maria Finitzo and William Bridges.
In her debut exhibition at Perspective, Finitzo presents the first public viewing of Ice & Light, which revisits images made in 1993 on Ellesmere Island in the Canadian High Arctic. Unresolved at the time of their making, the original color transparencies were set aside for three decades before being rediscovered. Their return contrasts the material endurance of analog photography with the fragility of the subject matter. The ice shelves of northern Ellesmere Island, among the oldest in the Northern Hemisphere, have since undergone significant loss due to climate change, rendering these images a record of a disappearing landscape.
In MY Photographic Memory?, Bridgesexplores an alternate, possible link between memory and photography. \"Some people are said to have 'photographic memories', the ability to recall comprehensive, detailed pictures of everything they have seen,\" he writes. \"I believe that everyone has a photographic memory but that the type of mental imagery differs from one person to the next. What I offer here are not crystallized pictures of the past, but photographs of how my recollections appear in my head.\"
The exhibition opens Thursday, September 3 and runs through Sunday, September 27, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, September 12, from 5-7pm.

You are invited to meet Richard (Chip) Hay, Jr. as he presents and leads a discussion on his inaugural photobook, Resounding with Echoes: Sojourns across Africa and America. (Kehrer Verlag, 2026). Through a nuanced interplay of black-and-white and color photography, Hay traces quiet correspondences between West Africa and the Americas, offering a lyrical meditation on everyday life across geography and time. Framed by an essay by renowned Nigerian author Emmanuel Iduma, the images are situated within a broader reflective context, collapsing temporal distance and proposing photography as a means of attentive witnessing—one that honors the ordinary while acknowledging the layered histories embedded within it. As part of the discussion, Hay will also provide his insights into the process of using images from a multi-decade archive to create a printed photo volume. Reviews of Resounding with Echoes have appeared in About Photography and in All About Photo. More information about the book can also be found on his website: RHayPhotography.com.
About the Artist Richard (Chip) Hay visually explores the dynamics between people and the environments that they create and inhabit. Reflecting his interests and training in sociology, architecture, photography and design, Hay views built and natural environments as cultural manifestations of people and their societies.
Hay has exhibited in several group shows including those at the di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art, the Los Angeles Center of Photography, PhotoPlace Gallery, Blue Ski Gallery and the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel. He studied photography at Northwestern University, where he earned a PhD in Sociology. He lives and works in the San Francisco Bay area.

We’re honored to host Chicago native Patty Carroll for this free, in-person presentation.
Patty Carroll is known for her use of highly intense, saturated color photographs that delight viewers with playful critiques of home and excess. Her ongoing project, “Anonymous Women: Domestic Demise,” is a series of studio installations made for the camera, addressing women and their complicated relationships with domestic life. The resulting photos (made on a full-size “stage”) humorously comment on the mania of running and decorating a home. The objects take over, leading to mishaps and mayhem for the lone figure of a woman. More than 175 “Anonymous Women” have been photographed by Carroll over the years.
In a 2024 interview with NewCity Chicago, Carroll revealed some of the strategy behind the staging of the life-size mannequins in her dioramas. “You never see their faces,” she says. “The best response I get is from women who walk around the show and say, ‘That one is me.’ They relate to the domestic situation we’ve created, whether it is collections of crap, a kitchen scene or multitasking.”
Carroll’s photographs are exhibited on a dramatically large scale, and previous iterations have been published in several books. The series has been exhibited internationally, has won multiple awards, and has been acknowledged as one of Photolucida’s “Top 50” in 2014 and in 2017, and has been featured in prestigious blogs and international magazines such as the Huffington Post, the BJP in Britain, and NYT LensBlog, Washington Post Insight, Vanity Fair, Italia, and many others.
