I sat down with Alex Benson, a student at Loyola University Chicago, for a “Professor Profile” on his radio show LU sCene on Loyola’s WLUW 88.7. 
We chatted about my background in photography, visual communication, and web design. My segment leads the show, but keep listening for more
interviews, excellent music, and some found sound from around Chicago.

Very excited to announce I received my complete 2009 Weather Reports portfolio from the amazing folks at the SP Weather Station. Included is my print Thirty Skies (Amsterdam/New Amsterdam) along with the work of 11 other artists.

The essay is available in its entirety at the Journal of Artists’ Books website, but here’s an excerpt:

The page layout of the series is sensible yet jarring: the page spreads of the original books are reproduced smaller than the pages of the book-on-book itself. A white border surrounds the images of the original page spreads. This is eminently practical as the Books on Books are all the same size (7 by 9.5 inches) and the originals they commemorate are not. Thus Killip’s In Flagrante, a more typical photobook size (11 ¾ x 9 ¾ inches) fills most of the spread, while Ristelhueber’s Fait (smaller but taller and narrower at 6 ¾ x 4 ¼ inches) floats in a pool of white with a 2 inch border on the book’s fore-edge. But this is only the case when one opening of the original is reproduced within one opening of the Errata Edition; some openings are reproduced 4-up to an opening (two openings on one page). The visual effect of this layout is not unlike the old schoolboy trick of clandestinely hiding an issue of “The Amazing Spider-Man” behind a wider, taller textbook.

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.

Wish me luck!

UPDATE: I received word today (11.17.2009) that I was not selected to take part in the Workshop. Oh well! It was an honor to be considered nonetheless.

Above: April 2009 Weather Report by Luke Strosnider

Awhile back, SP Weather Station – an artist-run weather station in New York – asked
me to participate in their 2009 “Weather Reports” project. In May, they sent me their
weather data for April 2009, and I was free to visually interpret it however I wanted. My
report is currently on view at AHN/VNS in Philadelphia, and the show received some
kind words in the Philadelphia Weekly!

The print will be part of an portfolio of 2009 weather reports by 12 different artists,
produced by SP Weather Station. Visit their site (or check back here) for forthcoming details.
