David Weinberg: A Decade of Printmaking Opening Reception: Friday, January 11th, 5:00 pm - 8:30 pm On Exhibition: January 11 - February 25, 2013  Anniversaries present us with a unique lens of hindsight. It’s a marker in time for us to measure our accomplishments, assess our goals and dream of all the new possibilities the future can present us with. Ten years flew by at David Weinberg Photography and so much has changed since Weinberg made the transition from businessman to Artist. Even in observing the last two years it’s hard to keep track. The shift from contemporary commercial gallery to artist run gallery was no easy task but an important one in redirecting the values of the project at large. As a new mission unfolded, the space was inherently faced with risky challenges and hard choices. David decided he’d focus the space on projects whose concerns were greater than simply making money. Projects like the Coat Check, a new curatorial program in the back gallery, aimed at showcasing emerging artists. The redirection in format made collaboration possible. This past year David Weinberg Photography had the pleasure of collaborating with Filter Photo Festival as jurors and hosts of their annual themed exhibition, Light. The shift let us focus on the gallery as it participates in the community with in-house programing of photography workshops for Chicago Public School students, and David’s active role on the board of Marwen. The leap of faith has been rewarding and generous, because work that is given new purpose produces much sweeter fruits. In honor of these ten years, we invite you to join us for the first installment of our two-part exhibition, A Decade of Printmaking that observes the theme of abstraction. The exhibition will include selections from Weinberg’s six series of photographic abstractions. These photographs speak volumes within its simple gesture of imagining the world as it reflects back on you. His abstractions distort the visual world to render newly constructed realities, as the world seen through material can be transformed into a fragmented narrative, floating in the ethereal. The photographs view the elegance of matter as it is suspended and meditate on a dream state, in a space between cognizant form and warped texture. In the spirit of our anniversary, for this exhibition only we’re offering small editions and pieces at reduced prices, something affordable for everyone. Please come and join us in celebrating the opening reception and anticipated anniversary on January 11, 2013 from 5:00 till 8:30pm, at David Weinberg Photography 300 W. Superior St., Suite 203, Chicago, IL 60654.

We are ecstatic to have received some wonderful feedback from Epic Academy in regards to their recent Photography Workshop at David Weinberg! 


“Seeing your portraits and being able to actually take one of my own made the experience personal, because I got to see a side of me that I haven’t even seen in pictures before.  I came back to EPIC with a much better understanding of photography and reasons people take photographs.” - Amber, Epic Academy Charter High School


“Today was a fantastic experience.  it was an extremely enjoyable opportunity to be part of viewing an artist’s work while getting insight at the same time.  The open conversation led me into new ways of perceiving art/ideas.” - Pedro, Epic Academy Charter High School
