more from the michael reese hospital

since chicago did not get the olympics, there is still the lingering question as to what exactly is going to heppen to the michael reese campus. all the landscaping has been completly removed and the rest is almost ready for demolition. there was a meeting on friday to discuss these issues between the city and interested parties, including concerned citizens of chicago. i have yet to get the news on any resolutions.

i am almost done editing the images that i feel are strong enough to represent this place and my own work. I will add a few from that collection here. I am designing a proposal to the chicago cultural center and other venues for exhibiting my work along with the photographers that shot the transition of the michael reese hospital over the past 6 months or so: tim long, mark marano, david schalliol, and dirk mathews.

again, i hope you have a chance to visit the gropius coalition chicago's website and keep informed as to the fate of the MRH.
