Rolling Acres Mall 1, 2008 by Brian Ulrich
We're big fans of photographer Brian Ulrich and his beautifully executed work dealing with consumerism in America. In fact, Brian has been included in two past shows at the gallery, Summer Reading, earlier this year, and A New American Portrait, back in 2007. So we were totally delighted to find out that his photographs are currently featured on the expertly-curated photo section of The Morning News. Interviewer Nozlee Samadzadeh writes, "Brian's photographs of closed-down malls and big-box retail stores reveal the potential ghost towns lying inside successful shopping complexes all across America."
Though the interview is brief, it has lots of great bits from Brian such as, "I cringe to think we’ll all just be under one giant Costco roof like in the movie Wall-E in the future, though it sometimes it seems quite feasible." Brian's strangely haunting mall-scapes, which accompany the Q&A, point out that we may be closer to this dystopia than we would like to imagine. Creating his own work is just one of the ways that Brian wrestles with implications of consumer culture. He also serves as a judge on the panel for Picture Black Friday, a photography competition devoted exclusively to documenting our most stereotypically American ritual. Submissions for this year recently closed and the winners should be announced soon. So lay down your credit card real slow and head over to see the full set on The Morning News.
