 TIP OF THE WEEK Withinsight/James M. Hunt Gallery
With this final show, Chicago loses one of its most important venues for
young photographers. Adhering to a straight black-and-white aesthetic,
Director Richard Stromberg has inspired hundreds of aspiring shooters to
clarify and perfect their visions. In the grand finale, 19 photographers
display 76 images that are uniformly marked by tight composition,
sensitive attention to light, and strong subjects. Bekah Raleigh shot a
construction site from a bridge, capturing workers pumping out sludge
from a huge black hole; the outlines of the pit form the shape of a huge
hulking monster sprouting hoses from its body. A gifted straight
surrealist, Raleigh matches Magritte in her beautifully illuminated
study of a railroad bridge that has been cut off in the middle and leads
straight into a fluffy, cloudy sky. Through August 31.
