Indian Gaming

Currently under construction

Indian Gaming juxtaposes representations of American Indian culture as depicted in strikingly similar fashion in both the Milwaukee Public Museum and a local bingo casino run by the Potawatomi tribe. Sound and images from both spaces overlap in different ways with each iteration, calling attention to how the cultural “other” is experienced and understood.

Exhibited at Institute of Visual Art, Milwaukee, WI (2003)
