Chicagraphy

Galerie f 5,6, Munich

Chicago New School

Brian Ulrich was born 1971 in Northport, NY. Now living and working in Chicago, he forms part of the artist group Chicagraphy. He examines dominant American consumer culture in his work. Working as a kind of visual anthropologist Ulrich studies the act of shopping, in particular at shopping malls and thrift stores in direct relation to its political, social and cultural implications. This project Ulrich has termed Copia (Latin, plentiful supply, abundance). He often works as part of the group of "Chicagraphers" with fellow artists Jon Gitelson and Matt Siber, who are also represented by Galerie f5,6. This loose grouping, without a radical political manifesto of an artist's group such as DADA, ZERO, the Blue Rider, the Surrealists, the Minimalists etc. of the last Century, simply states "A small sampling of the many good talents in our city by the lake." All artists incorporate new media ,in particular, the web and within this the blog into their projects.

Jon Gitelson was born in 1975 in Mount Kisco, NY and currently lives and works in Chicago. Jon Gitelson's conceptual work in which text and photography are brought together, humorously describes different states and facettes of American culture as well as pure human values, often crossing cultural borders. In a sense Gitelson often uses the tools of conceptual art creating a kind of persiflage true to our postmodernist age. Gitelson emphasises the process, which is clearly evident for the viewer to delve into and ask different set of questions. He often works as part of the group of "Chicagraphers" with fellow artists Matt Siber and Brian Ulrich, who are also represented by Galerie f5,6.

Matt Siber's (born 1972) photographs are deceptively simple with profound cultural implications. He often works as part of the group of "Chicagraphers" with fellow artists Jon Gitelson and Brian Ulrich, who are also represented by Galerie f5,6.
