“One of the newest galleries in Chicago, having opened on January 6th, Document is run by an experienced hand in Chicago's art community, Aron Gent. The gallery begins their inaugural year with an exhibition of photographs and sculptures from Paul Erschen. Sourced from a discovered cache of discarded items from a shuttered dentist office, the sculptural items were cast from the dental equipment. The photographs are not the artist's own, but were rather taken of patients visiting the dentist as a record of their dental work. The straightforward documentary approach of the photos unexpectedly recalls the work of the early 20th century German photographer August Sander who tried to index the people of the Weimar Republic.”
