Bill Owens exhibits at James Cohan Gallery
Bill Owens
June 26, 2008—August 1, 2008
James Cohan Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition by California-based artist, Bill Owens. This is the artist's second solo show at the gallery. Owens' work has gathered a cult following since the 1960s by exploring the peculiarities behind the everyday rituals of American life, revealing the far-out in the familiar. His widely acclaimed 1970s photo series, Suburbia, documented Americans' mass migration to the suburbs, and was followed by other investigations of the day-to-day—focusing on Americans at work and play, their occupations, leisure activities and political leanings.

| Dodd vows to filibuster Surveillance Act Senator Chris Dodd vowed to filibuster the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that would grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that helped this administration violate the civil liberties of Americans. "It is time to say: No more. No more trampling on our Constitution. No more excusing those who violate the rule of law. These are fundamental, basic, eternal principles. They have been around, some of them, for as long as the Magna Carta. They are enduring. What they are not is temporary. And what we do not do in a time where our country is at risk is abandon them." |
