taken in Missouri and submit the photo(s), with a note of the location, and
email them to: postcardsfromheartland at gmail.com by January 2, 2009. Artists
may submit as many images as they like for consideration. If included in th=

exhibition, the artists will be credited as participating in the project an=
d
your work will be on view. The show opens on the day of the Presidential
Inauguration Ceremony. The images will be projected at the APF Lab and at
the close of the exhibition on January 30,2009 all images will be deleted
from the computer.



For the past 100 years, Missouri has been a bellwether in every White House
race, voting for the winning presidential candidate in every election excep=
t
1956. In the 2008 election, Missouri again played a crucial role as a swing
state.  Missouri played host to all four candidates who were in and out of
the state frequently, and the state was flooded with advertisements.   As
Missouri was bombarded with ads, little money was comparatively spent in Ne=
w
York. The exhibition, with your participation, will bring the images from
the heartland to New York.  I hope you decide to participate and if not,
feel free to pass this onto those who you feel are appropriate.
