Corkin Gallery presents two very different visions for this year’s Contact photography festival. Suzuki, a Japanese artist, does brash, post-feminist work in the vein of Cindy Sherman: candy-coloured photos of manga doll–like creatures with her face superimposed on them. Gerth, meanwhile, studies aspects of the urban landscape, his work taking a bird’s-eye view of Chicago parking lots that have fallen into disrepair. The simultaneous flatness and height of the images make them highly abstract; crumbling concrete becomes blocks and half-blocks of mottled grey, surrounded by the subsuming green of weeds and grass. Artwork prices TBA.—David Balzer
