Copia

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.
