Paul Shambroom: Picturing Power is the first exhibition to bring together selections from all five of Shambroom’s most important–and highly acclaimed–series to date: Factories (1986-1988), Offices (1989-1990), Nuclear Weapons (1992-2001), Meetings (1999-2003), and Security (2004-current). Shambroom, who lives and works in Minneapolis, has made an indelible mark on the landscapes of photography and political discourse. His series-based color photographs reveal both local and global manifestations of power, depicting scenes in industrial, business, community, and military environments. The exhibition is accompanied by a publication produced by the Weisman Art Museum, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis; with essays by Stuart Horodner, Diane Mullin, Christopher Scoates, Helena Reckitt, and Dick Hebdige.
