Not to be Missed: Point of Purchase

photography by Brian Ulrich

A while back I posted about Ryan Watkins-Hughes and his very cool Shopdropping project. Ryan is an excellent guy and I love this project’s take on consumerism, which is an enduring preoccupation of mine.

Ryan’s work is featured in a group show,Point of Purchase, which opened a while back at the Dumbo Arts Center and I thought I missed it (thanks to Rob Walker I discovered that it’s actually on view until September 24th. Which means I might actually get to see it, which I am excited about!)

Also featured in this show are the extremely fine photographs of one Brian Ulrich, an artist I had the good fortune to meet quite a while ago and who I’ve been tracking ever since. Brian also teaches, blogs and is very involved in the vibrant Midwestern photography community, of which I have long been fond of. He rocks.
