JOHN CHIARA
2011-10-24John Chiara photographs cityscapes in a process that is part photography, part event and part sculpture, an undertaking in apparatus and patience. Many times this process involves composing pictures from the inside of a large hand-built camera, that is mounted on a flatbed trailer, and produces large scale, one of a kind, positive exposures.
John Chiara received a B.F.A. in Photography from the University of Utah and an M.F.A. in Photography from the California College of the Arts in 2004, and was recently an artist in residence at Crown Point Press (2006). The artist has been reviewed and/or featured in countless publications including Artforum, New York Magazine, The New Yorker, BlackBook Magazine, the Village Voice, Time Out Chicago and Blind Spot magazine.
