The exhibit opens Sept. 7 and runs through Oct. 27. It includes 22 images, including aerial work from Chicago, Greenland, North Dakota and Kansas, plant specimens from the Smithsonian and Field Museum collections, slag processing at an Indiana steel plant, and mountaintop removal in eastern Kentucky. Pictured above is Sailboats and Skyscrapers, Chicago, July 29. Juvenile-in-Justice opens Sept. 13 at the Roosevelt University Gage Gallery, featuring the photography of Richard Ross, principal photographer for the Getty Conservation Institute and Getty Museum. Every Breath We Drew is a new portfolio of intimate portraits by Jess Dugan on exhibit at the Schneider Gallery this fall. The show opens Sep. 7 and runs through Oct. 27. Pictured above: Erica and Kritsa 2012. Jimmy Robert Vis-à-vis, running Aug. 25-Nov. 25 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, is the first major solo museum exhibition in the United States of work by Brussels-based artist Jimmy Robert. He typically uses photographic portraiture as a starting point for his works on paper, gently breaking down divisions between two and three dimensions, image and object. In some cases Robert uses found photographs that he tears, collages, tapes, and crumples before digitally scanning them and pinning them to the wall. In other cases, Robert takes new photographs in his studio and crams them into wooden boxes or arranges them on the gallery floor. This fall at the Stephen Daiter Gallery: Collateral Damage: The Human Face of War. There is work by Samantha Appleton, Vincent Cianni, Ashley Gilbertson, and Stephanie Sinclair, plus select historic war photographs by Dmitri Baltermants, Robert Capa, Werner Bischof, Wayne Miller, and others. The exhibit opens Sept. 7 and runs through Dec. 1. Taste of Chicago, a photography exhibit by Joseph Sterling, runs Sept. 8 through Oct. 27 at Alibi Fine Art. The signs in the windows on Michigan Avenue proclaim "We Want To Be Ordinary." Inside the Chicago Cultural Center is an exhibit called Industry of the Ordinary: Sic Transit Gloria Mundi, running through Feb. 17, 2013. The show includes a sampling from over 80 of the Industry of the Ordinary (IOTO) projects displayed with objects, photos and video documentation that includes “Line in the Sand” which engaged the public directly as the artists drew a line on State Street with a flesh-colored crayon to encourage on-lookers response. Industry of the Ordinary, by the way, is the name artists Adam Brooks and Mathew Wilson have chosen to work under for this project. Pictured above: Match of the Day II, (Industry of the Ordinary, as Old God and Young God, play table football, first to 100 goals, on the promontory point by North Avenue beach) 2005, documentation of performance (photo by Greg Stimac).

Prints from this influential series (sample above) are featured in The Whole Pond and A Little Romance, on exhibit at the Stephen Daiter Gallery through June 12.
