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.
Midwest Photographers Project: Alec Soth, "Sleeping by the Mississippi"
October 3 through December 5, 2003
