Model Home (New York), After Wisconsin Death Trip

Incorporating photographs and newspaper accounts of tragic events from a town in crisis with images of everyday life as well as staged portraits, the wide-ranging nature of the material along with its parallels to the often morbid contents of today’s all-encompassing "24-hour news cycle" lends the historical texts and images a remarkable contemporary relevance.

Accompanied by artwork and archival material addressing the intrinsic rapport between the daily news, morbidity, and an almost unconscious maintenance of class conditions, Model Home, (New York), After Wisconsin Death Trip aims to underline the key roles that locality, history, and mass media narratives might play in shaping our understanding of a particularly fraught moment in contemporary American life.
