The Midwest Photographers Publication Project (MP3) series, produced in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Photography (MoCP), Chicago, presents the work of new emerging talents. MP3: Volume I (Aperture/MoCP, 2006) features Kelli Connell, Justin Newhall, and Brian Ulrich; the new second installment, MP3: Volume II (Aperture/MoCP, 2009), showcases Curtis Mann, John Opera, and Stacia Yeapanis. Just as Aperture's classic _Masters of Photography_ series introduces audiences to the work of established great photographers, these three-volume sets each offer an affordable, beautifully produced introduction to three young artists poised on the brink of stardom. Join all six photographers at Aperture's booth at Art Chicago to celebrate the highly anticipated release of _MP3: Volume II_.
