Tom Arndt’s Minnesota

Saturday, February 21, 2009—Sunday, August 23, 2009
Harrison Photography Gallery 365
Free Exhibition

Tom Arndt (born 1944) has persistently chronicled everyday life in Minnesota since the early 1970s. His straightforward and insightful black-and-white images reflect the state geographically, emotionally, and spiritually.

He covered the vice-presidential campaign of Walter Mondale in 1984, has photographed the State Fair for years, and is most at home with ordinary Minnesotans on the street and in their homes. Arndt is Minnesota’s leading documentary photographer of the last 35 years. The exhibition includes 75 photographs from the MIA's permanent collection and from the artist. A fully illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition.
