Southern Exposure by Lee Bey
The first book devoted to Chicago South Side's rich and unfairly ignored architectural heritage. With lively, insightful text and gallery-quality colour photographs by noted Chicago architecture expert Lee Bey, Southern Exposure documents the remarkable and largely unsung architecture of the South Side.
Southern Exposure is a 35mm love storyJust like relationships, the buildings that Bey photographs reflect our affection and our neglect, and remind us of why we are so devoted to Chicago's South Side. Through these truly awesome images, we are inspired to stop, behold, and not take these treasures for granted." —Mary Pattillo, author of Black on the Block: The Politics of Race and Class in the City
Amanda Williams is a visual artist who trained as an architect. Using colour, she highlights the complexities of how we understand the value of race and class in the built environment. Williams has been critically acclaimed and is often asked to speak on the subject of art in the public realm. Her works have been exhibited widely and are included in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. She lives and works on the South Side of Chicago.
