I am excited to announce my inclusion in the Whitney Biennial : 2010.  The show opens this coming week and runs through the end of May. I am really honored to be in an exhibition with so many artists that I look up to and admire and hope to get some autographs :)   Please let me know if you are in town for the opening events next week as we have a few parties planned and would love to see as many friends (or strangers) as possible.  Take care !!

I am moving my blog and update activities to Tumblr, to simplify things a bit.  Please update your links to www.curtismann.tumblr.com.

Here is a short documentary created by Alan Del Rio Ortiz which shows a little bit about my process and some thoughts about my work.  I probably should have paid for a haircut and a quick shave but I think it came out quite well.  Thank you Alan!

I am excited to announce the opening of my current exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Photography here in Chicago, MP3 (Midwest Photographer’s Publication Project) Volume 2. The three person exhibition includes myself, John Opera and Stacia Yeapanis. I think it is great show (bias noted) and not to be missed.

I am excited to announce the release of my book published by Aperture Books as part of the MP3 series. It includes the original works of the Modifications series and is available beginning May 1st. It is part of a box set with artists John Opera and Stacia Yeapanis.  There is a book signing on May 2nd @ 1pm at Aperture’s Art Chicago booth.
