Brian Ulrich: Lost in the Supermarket
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008
Quality Pictures artist Brian Ulrich joins William Eggleston, Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, and other surveyors of the American scene in Lost in the Supermarket, the second in a series of three exciting shows at the Armand Bartos Gallery. Sign/Age explores the legacy of Pop Art and its celebratory critique of advertising and consumerism. Lost in the Supermarket “includes works that are in direct conversation with our consumer-based culture, taking on the subject from all angles.” The show opens tomorrow, November 20, with a reception from 6-8pm, and continues through December 19.
Lost in the Supermarket is just one of several exhibitions featuring Ulrich’s photographs at the moment: His work can also be seen at Kansas City’s Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art (through Dec 14); Worlds Away: New Suburban Landscapes at the Carnegie Museum of Art (through Jan 18, 2009); and Made in Chicago, Photographs from the Bank of America LaSalle Collection at the Chicago Cultural Center (through Jan 4, 2009).
