Title: Michael Schmelling - Your Blues.
Description: Skinnerboox / The Ice Plant, 2018. 27.5 x 20.5 cm. [168] pp. Softcover. Illustrated in b/w and colour throughout. - In 2013, the Museum of Contemporary Photography commissioned American photographer Michael Schmelling (b. 1973) to make a new series of photographs about music in his hometown of Chicago. First shown as the solo exhibition Your Blues in 2014, this ambitious body of work now takes form of an artist book. Schmelling spent eighteen months immersed in the project, crisscrossing Chicago alone at night, making his way into basement shows, crowded clubs, parties, and recording studios - 'waiting in the dark for a communal experience with strangers' as he describes it - documenting both the communal culture at large - musicians and fans alike - and the DIY individualism of the characters involved. Focussing on niche and local acts in unconventional venues, of the city. - Fine copy
