On the Road With Will Steacy...

Anyone who knows Will Steacy's photography will attest to his concerns about social, economic, and political issues in the US. As a former union laborer himself, he has a particular interest in the state of the American labor force.

Will was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this week for a lecture at the Haggerty Museum of Art, where his work is hanging in the group exhibition, The Truth Is Not In The Mirror: Photography And A Constructed Identity, curated by Wally Mason. The talk went well, and though he could have come right back to New York to prepare for his show with the Aperture Foundation, Will could not resist the forces pulling at him from the State House down the highway in Madison. So, after the lecture, he hit the road again and, as always, I'm looking forward to seeing things from Will's point of view.

After Madison, he's expecting to go to Gary, Indiana, where there's another face-off between government and labor. Here are a few photos. I'm hoping he sends more...
