Description of Pictures: Press preview for the exhibition “Trevor Paglen: Sites Unseen”
Trevor Paglen is an award-winning artist whose work blurs the lines between art, science and investigative journalism to construct unfamiliar and at times unsettling ways to see and interpret the world around us. “Trevor Paglen: Sites Unseen” is the first exhibition to present Paglen’s early photographic series alongside his recent sculptural objects and new work with artificial intelligence. Privacy and freedom in the 21st century are among his primary interests. With this presentation, the Smithsonian American Art Museum engages visitors in the important and ongoing conversation about privacy and surveillance in contemporary society.
The exhibition features more than 100 artworks, ranging from photographs and video to sculpture, and includes the multi-media installation “The Last Pictures,” prototypes of his non-functional satellites and the premiere presentation of his video work “Image Operations.” The exhibition will occupy the entire north wing of galleries at the museum, an unprecedented scale for an exhibition at this location.
“Trevor Paglen: Sites Unseen” is organized by John Jacob, McEvoy Family Curator for Photography at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. This mid-career survey is on view at the museum’s main building from June 21 through Jan. 6, 2019. Following its presentation in Washington, D.C., the exhibition will travel to San Diego, Calif. and Vienna, Austria.
Remarks by:
* Stephanie Stebich, The Margaret and Terry Stent Director
* John Jacob, McEvoy Family Curator for Photography
* Trevor Paglen, artist

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
