Photographer Michael Wolf will be doing an Artist’s Talk and Book Signing on Tuesday, November 10, 6:30 pm at the Aperture Foundation
Exhibitions on view:
November 7, 2009—January 21, 2010
From the gallery website:
Michael Wolf: The Transparent City
Chicago, like many of the world’s great urban centers, has recently undergone a surge in new construction, grafting a new layer of architectural experimentation onto those of past eras. Bringing his unique perspective on changing urban environments to a city renowned for its architecture, Michael Wolf chose to photograph Chicago’s central downtown area, focusing specifically on issues of voyeurism and the contemporary urban landscape in flux. His first body of work to address an American city, Michael Wolf: The Transparent City opened at the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Columbia College Chicago (MoCP), in November 2008. The show at Aperture marks the second U.S. venue for the exhibition. The work, which is accompanied by a book of the same title copublished by Aperture and MoCP last fall, was created as part of the Chicago-based U.S. Equities Realty Artist-in-Residence Program, in collaboration with MoCP.
Whereas Wolf’s prior series concentrated on the “architecture of density,” this most recent work invites the viewer to examine the transparency and fluidity of the new American cityscape. Juxtaposing humanizing details within the surrounding geometry of the urban landscape, fragments of everyday life—digitally distorted and hyper-enlarged—are snatched surreptitiously via telephoto lenses. Think Edward Hopper meets Blade Runner. In Michael Wolf: The Transparent City, Wolf’s work resonates with all the formalism of the constructed, architectural work for which he is known, and emphasizes his ongoing engagement with the idea of how modern life unfolds within the framework of the ever-growing contemporary city.
Michael Wolf (born in Munich, 1954) grew up in the United States. Wolf attended UC Berkeley, and later studied with Otto Steinert at the University of Essen in Germany. Two previous books—Sitting in China (2002) and Hong Kong: front door/back door (2005)—feature his much-acclaimed photographs of China. Wolf lives and works in Hong Kong and Paris.

Thursday, November 5 Nine artists from China, Mexico, Japan, Canada, England and France artists are being featured by FotoFest as outstanding ‘discoveries’ in the world of contemporary photography.
Alejandro Cartagena, Christine Laptuta, Rizwan Mirza, Takeshi Shikama, Kurt Tong and MiMi Youn are traveling to Houston to attend the opening reception, Thursday, November 5th, 6-9pm.
On Saturday, November 7 at 2pm, they will give free Artist Talks at FotoFest
From the announcement:
“The mixture of globalism, hybridism and cultural grounding is reflected in the selection of artists in this exhibition,” says FotoFest Chairman and Co-founder Fred Baldwin. “The emergence, growth and interconnection of non-profit photography festivals and commercial trade fairs across the world have made it possible for artists to move around and curators to find new work all over the world.”
“International Discoveries II reflects a simultaneous turning to the past and the future, which characterizes so much of contemporary photo-based art. The prints in the exhibit display the delicate formalism of 19th century palladium and platinum printing, the intimacy of the mid-20th century Polaroid process, and 21st century large-format inkjet technology,” says FotoFest Senior Curator Wendy Watriss.
