Gurnee, IL, 2005 by Brian Ulrich
Photographer Brain Ulrich is part of a group exhibition, SIGNS, on view at the Mt Tremper Arts Festival. I've never heard of Mt Tremper before, but I do know New York state has lots of fascinatingly named towns. (Once, on my way to Buffalo, I got lost and ended up in Mexico. Yes, Mexico, New York.) Anyway, I did a little research and discovered that Mt Tremper is a hamlet located in the Catskills, boasts a Zen Mountain Monastery and lots of hiking trails. In other words, Mt Tremper sounds like a wonderful place to escape to. The Arts Festival is 10 days of performances, lectures, and dance classes.
Other photographer included in the SIGNS exhibition: Tim Davis, Walker Evans, Stephen Shore, Zoe Strauss, Matthew Pokoik, Shannon Ebner, Christian Patterson, and John Lehr

Thanks so much for the plug, just wanted to mention that Lisa Kereszi is also in the show SIGNS plus the Mount Tremper Arts Festival is actually 7 weeks of photography and modern dance through Aug 31.
Next Thursday photo historian Laurie Dahlberg will be giving a lecture related to the show titled: "Pirates, Pilferers, and Pranksters: A Brief History of Photographic Appropriation", followed by a panel discussion with many of the SIGNS artists the next Thursday.
Lots of time to come up to the Catskills and check things out!
Thanks,
Mathew Pokoik (MTA Exec. Dir)
