Moving Design : 2011 Call to Action
An Intervention on Bike Safety
Every day in Chicagoland there are more than 800 traffic crashes. Of those, about 150 drivers will flee the scene. On average, Chicagoland has more than one traffic fatality every day. Another 24 people are seriously injured every day. Crashes cost the Chicago area resident $1,000 each year.
Most of these crashes are cars crashing into other cars, but these car crashes are not isolated events - many happen on streets filled with innocent passersby, pedestrians and bicyclists. These passersby are the people most vulnerable to serious injury and death.
Active Transportation Alliance. 2009.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Crashes in Illinois:
2004-2007
This Summer, Moving Design will initiate their next call to action around bicycle safety in Chicago. Focusing on Logan Square and transforming it into Chicago’s first hub for safe, active mobility, where pedestrians and bikers rule. This community will serve as a model for other neighborhoods intent on improving quality of life, public safety and health, and community cohesion across the city.

AV: I have a pliable approach to making images. It starts with what’s at hand and what’s on my mind. It’s a meandering approach that’s unfocussed but alert and open. I think that’s what gives it a varied look. Something keeps it all strung together though. Right now there’s a consistency in format and material… Full Interview here

Pia Howell
@ Golden Age
June 10 – July 10 / 2011
opening reception:
June 10 / 6:00 – 9:00
Golden Age is pleased to announce Cool Ranch, Pia Howell’s first solo exhibition. Howell uses a camera-less process to create photographs by manipulating raw, color-filtered light in a darkroom with stencils and transparencies. The resulting images have an austere simplicity recalling the iconography of logos and symbols.
These photographic works stem from an interest in mass produced and object specific patterns. Formally beautiful, yet anonymous, these seemingly familiar images simultaneously identify as fresh and classic. Working in the tradition of abstract photography, Howell’s colorgrams are not representative of reality—there is no photographic negative and no person, event or place to be captured—instead they point to the vastness of time itself.
