> Paul Shambroom: Evidence of Democracy
> October 3 through December 5, 2003
> Paul Shambroom photographs local government and town hall
> meetings throughout
> the United States. Using mapping software and a database of over
> 13,000 meeting
> dates, he enters specifications such as "Indiana, 2nd Wednesday,
> population 
> 2000" into his laptop computer, and charts his photographic
> journey according to
> the results. After obtaining permission to photograph, Shambroom
> takes pictures
> that encapsulate relationships among community leaders,
> activists, and regular
> townspeople.
> The second half of the exhibition will consist of photographs
> Shambroom took
> between 1992 and 2001 that present the first comprehensive look
> inside the US
> nuclear arsenal. Shambroom was granted unprecedented access by
> the government
> and made over 30 visits to restricted military sites in 19
> states. These images
> of warheads, bombers, submarines, missiles, and command centers
> are at once
> visually arresting and chillingly straightforward as they depict military
> technology that has profoundly and permanently changed our world.
> Together,
> Shambroom's two series investigate uniquely American expressions
> of power as
> they illuminate these seemingly abstract elements of our
> government structure.
