Posted in: Uncategorized

In a timely if sobering reminder of the ever changing retail landscape around us, The Morning News recently posted “The Ghosts of Shopping Past,” an online gallery of photographs by Chicago-based lensman Brian Ulrich, whose Copia project we covered in 2008. A collection of exterior and interior retail wastelands, the images starkly implicate our collective failure to not only repurpose the abandoned spaces but to participate in (and sometimes challenge) their construction in the first place.
