Joerg Metzner: Tomorrow Never Knows
@ 1100 Florence
1100 Florence Ave., Evanston, IL 60202
Opening Friday, March 2nd, at 6PM
On view through Sunday, March 4th
In a world that feels unreal, I ask myself, “What is real?”
Uncertainty at every corner. I say “Hello old friend”.
There is beauty in not knowing, in seeing what you want to see,
in places that don’t exist until you get there.
Embracing existence at this moment, in a reality of my own making.

Artist Bio: Joerg Metzner
Born and raised in the Harz Mountains of Germany, Joerg was trained and worked as dental technician before moving to Ireland where he herded goats and photographed and painted. After traveling across Europe he ended up in Los Angeles where he attended Santa Monica College of Design, Art and Architecture, which was founded in the spirit of the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College. The interdisciplinary nature of the curriculum became the foundation for his professional life as a graphic designer and photographer.
Joerg graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a BFA in Photography and Visual Communications and worked for various design firms and agencies in Chicago. Currently he is leading an interdisciplinary design team at Rand McNally.
While working as a graphic designer Joerg has concurrently created a series of ongoing photographic projects.
