My review of “The Edge of Intent” at Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Photography was recently published in the journal Photography and Culture.

Here’s a brief excerpt:

The photographers of “The Edge of Intent” revealed today’s cities as catalysts of social disparity, insatiable resource hogs, and crumbling, erstwhile places, while the show’s more conceptual image-artists used digital scissors to rearrange urban landscapes. Far beyond cheery Burnham boosterism, “The Edge of Intent” unflinchingly confronted the gulf between the fever dreams of urban visionaries and their resulting realities.
