March 1 – April 9, 2008 “Two large-format color photographs anchor the main gallery. An image of the U.S. Air Force’s B2 ‘Spirit’ stealth nuclear bomber, seen from far overhead and silhouetted against a wide flat field of crimson red, is installed opposite a perspectival view of an aging and half-illuminated sign erected in France in honor of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Both photographs are the result of over a decade of intensive field and studio work, during which Blank first had to obtain governmental approval to access his subjects, and then extensively reworked the visual representation of each.”

March 1 – April 9, 2008 “Three nearly identical black-and-white photographs from a larger group of sixteen such images are installed in the gallery’s project room. Each shows the name of a different city in raised relief, casting shadows against a field of gray. Similarly recalling fascist-era typography or title treatments from noir cinema, TOKYO, LONDON, and NEW YORK might read just as plausibly as either a list of potential bombing sites or fashion shopping franchises.”
