Image source: Explore Chicago, David Schalliol Profile
David Schalliol, visiting assistant professor of social sciences, graduate student in sociology at the University of Chicago, and managing editor of Gapers Block, is profiled on the City of Chicago "Explore Chicago" website and his photography is featured in a "Life by the Lake Photo Journal" on the site. Schalliol will be updating the journal all summer with images of life in the city, emphasizing life on the South and West sides.
Schalliol's photography also was featured at two encore presentations of the National Public Housing Museum's "Inside Out" exhibition in June. Selections from his Isolated Building Studies will be shown at "The Chicago Project III" group exhibition at the Catherine Edelman Gallery, 300 W. Superior. The opening is July 10 from 5-8pm, and the show will run until September 4.
Finally, Schalliol also is featured in the May/June 2009 cover story of American PHOTO Magazine, "12 Flickr Superstars." Two photographs from his Isolated Building Studies found on Flickr are shown (image 1, image 2), with text that reads, in part, "David Schalliol's rigorous architectural views are shot mainly in the complex urban landscape of Chicago's South Side.... Schalliol's largest "set" of images on Flickr focuses on 19th-century buildings that are often the only structure standing among empty lots—photographs taken at the intersection of Now and Then."
