FINDING VIVIAN MAIER: CHICAGO STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
Chicago Cultural Center
78 E. Washington St, Michigan Avenue Galleries
Chicago IL 60602
Vivian Maier was a nanny in the Chicago area who spent her time off with a camera…
… a slight understatement…
… and after she died last year, in her 80s, boxes and boxes of hundreds of thousands of negatives were discovered…
… and boxes of undeveloped rolls of film.
Next week, an exhibition opens at the Chicago Cultural Center, running until early April.

Went to see this exhibit yesterday, 1/28/11; excellent work, of course, but the Cultural Center opted to place (most of) the captions in column form at the far right of the photographs, leaving you to crane back and forth to match up each one. A few of them did have captions underneath or next to, but would it kill the CC to match up ALL the pics that way?
