Powerhouse Gym, 2008, by Brian Ulrich

Photographer, 20×200 edition-maker and 2009 Guggenheim Fellowship recipient Brian Ulrich will be giving a talk and signing books from 5:30 – 7 p.m. tonight at Hous Projects Gallery, and yes, you are invited!

Much of this work is part of the larger project Copia for which Ulrich is currently working on a Guggenheim Fellowship and planning to continue across the country making pictures for a compilation of photographs to culminate in a book that examines 100 years of consumer culture in the US.

Besides talking about his current body of work, Brian, also will talk about the works in the show Versus and the perspective of the new generation of photographers.

The event coincides with Brian’s inclusion in the Versus show at Hous Projects, on view through March 8th.

In the months since the summer, when Brian’s photograph [above] appeared in the Summer Reading exhibition at Jen Bekman Gallery, Brian has continued to photograph, exhibit and participate in various projects at a rapid pace. So rapid, in fact, that he has another opening tonight.

Instruments of Empire, a two-person exhibition also featuring works by Amy Stein, is also on view at Caption Gallery in Brooklyn. Together, their work presents “powerful, dystopic visions of global capitalism’s flipside.” If you’re in town, these are two shows you will not want to miss.
