Hiroshi Sugimoto: Architecture November 23, 2003 - February 8, 2004 opening reception, Saturday, November 22, 6 to 9 pm (Organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago) This exhibition will feature a selection of work drawn from Hiroshi Sugimoto's most recent photographic series entitled Architecture. Begun in 1997 and comprised of thirty images, the series includes images of some of the most significant architectural work of the 20th century, ranging from the Eiffel Tower and the Barcelona Pavilion to buildings by Frank Gehry, Tadao Ando, and Frank Lloyd Wright, among others, throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. Shot purposely out of focus and from odd angles, the buildings are shown isolated from their urban context, resembling models or toys thus rendering them unreal and uninhabited. Hiroshi Sugimoto, an Art Center graduate, will help design the installation of this exhibition especially for the Williamson Gallery space. This exhibition is generously supported by the Kovler Family Foundation, Helen and Sam Zell, and Equity Office.
