By Brian Ulrich
$50.00 — Purchase Book
Selected as a Best Book of 2011 by:
"From Aperture and The Cleveland Museum of Art, Is This Place Great Or What by Brian Ulrich is the publication of his ten-year Copia project, documenting the consumer-centric atmosphere of contemporary America. The project grew from Ulrich’s curiosity at whether the 9-11 request of George W. Bush for Americans go out and shop to support the country was truly taken to heart. As economic turmoil overtook the country, it was clear that what Ulrich was documenting was a massive story. Separated into three sections, Is This Place Great Or What is a triptych of the collapsing American consumer system." —Sarah Bradley

"Everyone knows what bands do when they are on stage, but these images are from behind the scenes, from the traveling and the partying, They document the world through the windows of a van, as these modern-day nomads rush from one city to the next, through unknown landscapes, with never enough time to really stop. Though unable to explore these cities the way a typical tourist might, Krukhaug manages to capture his images from a unique point of view, seeing things that a normal visitor just might miss.

It’s said playing is the fundamental act of creation, and Maddock’s well-crafted images assert this through a page-turning game of association and recall. I’d have to recommend this book for the wry smile it will inevitably raise and the contemplation it quietly brings."—Barry W. Hughes
