Description:
Paul Shambroom is a Minneapolis-based photo artist who, over a period of four years, attended hundreds of town council meetings across the US. Photographing the participants with a large format panoramic camera as staged tableaux, his dramatic pictures resemble epic historic paintings, describing the humble practice of local government on a grand scale. A celebration of small-town America, these accessible pictures have already been lauded by the critics and collected by institutions such as the Whitney and MOMA in New York. Contains full minutes of the meetings.
