Currently on Exhibit: Urban Document: Chicago Heights

A documentary exhibition featuring the photographic work of Jay Boersma. The stellar exhibition features a group of photographs that originated as part of the Changing Chicago project which was conceived as one of the largest documentary photography undertakings ever organized in an American city. As one of the photographers selected to participate in the Changing Chicago project, Mr. Boersma elected to photograph Chicago’s southern suburbs including Chicago Heights, IL, an area that the artist feels is often overlooked but is, in many ways, representative of suburban life throughout the entire United States.
