Curator Peter Bennett: "I can hear the crunch of the snow as the car drives to the parking spot and I can smell the frigid air in this great image of a freezing night in Chicago."
Ursula Sokolowska was born in Krakow, Poland. She studied photography at Columbia College (1997-99), completing her BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2001. Although her work is deeply personal, her images are also a reflection of separation of the body from consciousness and objectification.
Sokolowska says of her work, "Through history, theory and practice, I use Chicago as my “studio,” and the public spaces within the city as a “canvas” as I analyze the impact of our built environment and how architecture and urban design stifles and inspires innovation."
