We the People

Robert Rauschenberg Foundation launches We the People exhibit and We the People TV / October 3 - November 9, 2012 / New York, New York

The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation launches We the People exhibit and We the People TV. A Portrait of the American Populace to coincide with the 2012 Presidential Election. Using the famous first words of the U.S. Constitution as its title, the exhibition explores issues of identity politics, demographic trends, swing-state gaming, and the influence of special interests against the backdrop of this year's political debates. We the People...but just who are the American people? Can we be pigeonholed into categories such as Starbucks Moms, NPR Republicans, America First Democrats, and the Facebook Generation? Can we be reduced to the 99 percent and the 1 percent, or special interests pitted against regular folks? Are we able to define ourselves as red vs. blue states? Does the issue of income inequality translate into class war? IMAGE: Norman Rockwell, Freedom from Want, 1943, Norman Rockwell Museum Collection. Copyright 1943 SEPS.
