Photography on National Security
About the Event:

Artist, geographer and MacArthur Fellow Trevor Paglen has trained his lens on a vast and inscrutable subject, the American surveillance state. In an effort to make visible what he calls the "unseeable and undocumentable," Paglen has traveled deep into remote spaces - from the desert to the ocean - to capture hidden and often highly classified places, from national security sites, to stealth drones and satellite systems. Paglen's images have achieved their own immortality: 100 were launched into space aboard the EchoStar XVI communication satellite. Paglen comes to CHF to survey his work and share some of his latest projects.
The Richard Gray Visual Art Series recognizes a significant gift from founding CHF board member Richard Gray. Additional funding has been generously provided by the David C. & Sarajean Ruttenberg Arts Foundation.
