The Front Room Gallery is proud to present the SIXTH quadrennial "Ballot Show", which focuses on the American electoral system, and the overall notion of voting with a ballot. "The Ballot Show," held every 4 years since 2004, is inspired by the American election, and contemplates our antiquated electoral-college voting process.
The impetus for the first "Ballot Show” in 2004 was disillusionment with the shoddy way the 2000 election had been handled. Things didn't get better in the ensuing 20 years. As in all the previous iterations of the Ballot Show, the heart of it is questioning the US election system: electoral college, gerrymandering, etc. Basically, a 200+ year old system that needs updating.
A percentage of sales will be donated to snopes.com

Pledged, 2012, 02:46
Using audio extracted from YouTube videos of children reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and imagery sourced from the Internet, ‘Pledged’ is a video about the dubious effectiveness of the indoctrination of children too young developmentally to comprehend the concept of patriotism.
