Weekend Preview – 500 words on what a cool guy you are

This week’s picks. As always, check out some more here and here.

Sarah Pickering @ Museum of Contemporary Photography

I’m jumping on this one out of first contact interest, but London photographer Sarah Pickering‘s Incident Control does look really, really cool. 36 photographs with section titles of Explosions, Fire Scene, Incident, and Public Order, and you can find the best pictures here. Check out the opening tonight, Thursday, April 8th from 5-7PM @ the Museum of Contemporary Photography, 600 S Michigan Ave.

Sol Lewitt @ Rhona Hoffman

Sol Lewitt is an artist worthy of a wikipedia page and you can see his work this Friday, April 9th @ Rhona Hoffman Gallery, 118 N Peoria St. I’m guessing the opening is at 6-9 or something.

I first listened to the collaboration between Alberto Aguilar and his student Alexander Cohen in the former’s basement as part of his massive 2009 dinner party undertaking. Back then, he was giving his daughter’s Garageband mixes to Cohen for freestyle beats. Things have progressed.
