Architecture, a new body of work by Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto, is currently on exhibition at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art. Shot distinctly out of focus and from different angles, it includes some of the most landmark architectural structures of the 20th century, ranging from the Eiffel Tower, the Barcelona Pavilion, and the Empire State Building to buildings by Frank Gehry, Tadao Ando, and Frank Lloyd Wright, among others in Europe, North America, and Asia. Until 1 June.

Sugimoto is interviewed by Mathew Herbert on Eyestorm. He comments on the Architecture series, originally commissioned by the LA Museum of Contemporary Art for their much acclaimed survey exhibition of 20th century architecture: "The concept of time applies - I'm trying to recreate the imaginative visions of the architecture before the architect built the building, so I can trace back the original vision from the finished product. All the details and all the mistakes disappear; there's a lot of shadows, melting."

Seen in Japan in the 2001 Yokohama Triennial, Sugimoto is perhaps best known for his larger than life Portraits series. "They are not portraits of the original subjects (though their images survive), but portraits of wax figures, rendered with powerful theatricality and superb technical expertise."

Jesse Alexander created perfectly composed images which capture the spirit of car racing in the 1950s and 60s, including the Grand Prix in Monaco and France (via Coudal).
