Copia

January 4, 2007- February 10, 2007

Brian Ulrich

Julie Saul Gallery

535 W 22nd St

Brian Ulrich's large-scale photographs engage the excesses and peculiarities of American consumer culture. Begun in 2001 in response to the U.S government's call to citizens to bolster the economy through shopping, the ongoing Copia series offers a penetrating look at life as usual in commercial settings. This selection of images is drawn from his monograph published this fall by Aperture. The images locate private moments in busy public environments that are essentially enclosed virtual worlds, such as "big-box" retailers and thrift stores. Brian Ulrich received an MFA in photography from Columbia College, Chicago, where he currently teaches. His work has been exhibited at numerous venues throughout the United States including a 2005 solo show at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, as part of their exhibition series 12 x 12: New Artists/New Work.

Art Reviews of Copia

New York Times February 3, 2007

Martha Schwendener

"When Americans wanted to help after 9/11, they were told to go shopping. Vice President Dick Cheney said investing in the American economy was the best way for citizens to “stick their thumbs in the eyes of the terrorists,” and President Bush said “the vitality of our economy depends upon the willingness of Americans to spend.”..."
