For this photography exhibit, Cincinnati based photographer Michael Wilson has hunted through all his old and recent black and white contact sheets to make new photographs that have never been seen before.
Michael Wilson became a well-known commercial photographer by photographing musicians. Over the last 20+ years he’s photographed many musicians including laura veirs, over the rhine, doc watson, and wilco, etc.etc. (michaelwilsonphotographer.com has an a-z index).
He’s published four books: Heads Bowed Eyes Closed, No One Looking Around, I See That Hand, What I Really Like Is Music, and First Kind Sight.
He’s had solo exhibitions in many places including the Cincinnati Art Museum, Vanderbilt University, and a recent mid-career retrospective called “The Day of Small Things” organized by the The Light Factory in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was also part of the first exhibit at the 930 when we opened in early 2008, The View from the Street.
