City spaces
photographs of Chicago alleys
by Bob Thall
"In City Spaces Thall returns downtown to Chicago's alleys where the artist finds remnants of the old city that he, and many other Chicagoans, once found so compelling. Although the fronts of these buildings may have been refurbished, Thall notes, "no one had bothered with the back. One could see the evidence of many years of use and history." Here among the deep urban slits where rain almost never falls one can experience a sense of Chicago as it once was.
Writes Thall: "Investigating these spaces reminded me of my earlier sense of the city as a mysterious landscape to explore. My history as a Chicagoan, my history as a photographer, the history of the city, and, in a small way, the history of photography - without any plan or anticipation, these photographs brought these histories together for me." City Spaces will be a welcome addition to those interested in fine art photography, architecture, Chicago, and the urban scene."--BOOK JACKET.
