"Indivisible: Stories of American Community"
2000-10-06 until 2000-11-26
Terra Museum of American Art
Chicago, IL,
USA United States of America
This exhibition presents
museum audiences with
the results of a major
social documentary
commission undertaken
to examine the state of
community in America
today. Twelve states from
Florida to Alaska were
chosen as subjects for
this look at grass roots
democracy as seen
through the eyes of the
country's most
distinguished
photographers.
Working
in the documentary
tradition with strong
personal visions, these
photographers offer
distinct impressions of
their subjects that
together create a tapestry of people and place -- the relationships, discipline, frustration, and
accomplishments that describe the twelve case studies. Artists include Dawoud Bey, Bill
Burke, Debbie Fleming Caffery, Lucy Capehart, Lynn Davis, Terry Evans, Lauren Greenfield,
Joan Liftin, Reagan Louie, Danny Lyon, Sylvia Plachy, and Eli Reed. An interactive website
can be found at www.indivisible.org.
Indivisible is a project of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University in
partnership with the Center for Creative Photography, the University of Arizona. Indivisible is
funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts. This exhibition was organized and circulated by the
Center for Creative Photography, the University of Arizona.
