Architecture of Authority

May 22, 2008- July 31, 2008

Reception: May 22, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Richard Ross

Aperture Gallery

547 W 27th St

Over the course of several years, Richard Ross has made unsettling and thought-provoking pictures of architectural spaces that exert power over the individuals within them. From a Montessori preschool to churches, mosques, and diverse civic spaces––a Swedish courtroom, the Iraqi National Assembly hall, the United Nations––the images in Architecture of Authority, and the accompanying Aperture book, build to ever harsher manifestations of authority: an interrogation room at Guantánamo, segregation cells at Abu Ghraib, and finally, a capital-punishment death chamber.
