These are some of the photographs I took to document the show Max Schumann and I did at Max Fish in September 2007. My half of the show took on a broad range of subjects suggested by the nineteenth century Opium Wars and their reflection in the various neocolonialist wars started by the United States government under the Bush Administration on behalf of their corporate sponsors. Max's half of the show dealt with the very local subject of recent real estate development in the Lower East Side (as a result of gentrification or yuppie colonization.) While I can't claim that it was one of our more coherent shows, it certainly was our most ambitious since the Dawn Of The Dead/Law Of The Land show a decade earlier.
