Democracy: The Last Campaign, an installation and web project http://dtlc.walkerart.org by the collaborative artist team Crane/Winet, is the final installment in the artists ongoing exploration of the presidential election process. The project focuses on the spectacle and phenomenon of the 2000 presidential elections, and seeks to capture the political zeitgeist of the moment and the psycho-social dynamics of American public life at the fin-de-siecle. During the months leading up to the election, the artists will observe and document political activity and translate their research into a creative installation that will incorporate photographic/text works, multi-media elements and an on-line salon that will function as a forum for a national discussion of issues. In addition, a range of public programs are being designed in conjunction with the installation to raise awareness of election issues and critically contextualize the election process. Democracy: The Last Campaign will borrow from the visual aesthetics and graphic design of the contemporary news media and play with unexpected combinations of photography, graphics, sound and video to produce a startling report, commentary, fiction and manifesto on the last presidential campaign of the century. Over the last fourteen years, the collaboration Margaret Crane/Jon Winet has produced over a hundred projects. Their work revolves around language and photography, including multi-media installations, public art projects and sites on the Internet and World Wide Web.
