The dust has settled and we have a new president. But at this writing we haven’t yet elected a senator - such is the american political process. No question the rhetoric got intense, much money was spent, but despite this strange ritual hopefully the best candidate got elected - unfortunately we know in many cases that didn’t happen. IFP presents a range of views of the process by 10 photographers, from the myth of power to back stage at the RNC (and riots) in St. Paul to the senatorial election recount. Two video makers have collaborated on a film "Art is patriotic" inspired by extraordinary response of the art community to the RNC presence in our midsts.

Please join us for the Friday, January 16th, 5:30-8pm opening to take a 20:20 look back before we all roll up our sleeves and work together to get US out of our present mess.

One of my RNC protest photos was selected to be in the upcoming IFP photo exhibit ‘PARTY! Selection, Election and the Body Politic - 2008 ‘. Here is an excerpt from their website about the exhibit, ‘Subject matter will include the candidates, their election team, the hype team (commercial promotion and production), national, state, local, grass roots, third (fourth, fifth…) party candidates, the issues at stake, those reacting to the process (artists, protestors, the media), the RNC in St. Paul and so on.’ To learn more, visit the IFP website.

CHICAGO ROAD TRIP

November 26th - 30th

For Thanksgiving, some friends and I took a road trip to Chicago to visit our good friend and my old roommate. While there, we were able to see many great sights, take in a lot of the culture, hang out at cool bars & restaurants and see some of the great art exhibits. At the Art Institute of Chicago, I saw the amazing ‘Henri Cartier-Bresson Art and Photography of Paris’ exhibit. Afterwards, I walked across the street to the Chicago Cultural Center and took in another a great photography exhibit ‘Made in Chicago’ The Bank of America LaSalle Collection. I would highly recommend both exhibits. Even though we weren’t there for very long, I was able to snap off some great photos, some of which will soon be posted on the site. Chicago, I love ya, I can’t wait to see you again.
