			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We chose not to include Flat Daddies and Flat Stanleys per se in the catalog, opting instead for installation shots from the version we showed at <a title="There is Always a Machine Between Us" href="http://www.sfcamerawork.org/exhibitions/past_exhibitions/2007.php" target="_blank">SF Camerawork</a> in 2007 and screen-shots of the websites where we found these images in the first place.  Why?<span id="more-723"></span></p>
<p><em>Flat Land</em> establishes a context for viewing these photographs (and in this show, <em>Guarded</em> and <em>Lost</em> contribute their energies as well), a context structured carefully by the two projections, the two narrations, running simultaneously on either side of a single, suspended, flat projection surface.  And so we feel an obligation to not show the images alone or cite them without lots of contextual supports.</p>
<p>So, for example, when asked for an image from <em>Flat Land </em>we offer this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.finleymuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/FlatLand.Stan.image.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-723];player=img;"><img title="FlatLand.Stan.image" src="http://www.finleymuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/FlatLand.Stan.image.jpg" alt="FlatLand.Stan.image" width="384" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Which then appears on the <a title="SF Camerawork" href="http://www.sfcamerawork.org/exhibitions/past_exhibitions/2007.php" target="_blank">SF Camerawork website</a> like this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.finleymuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/CameraworkMachine.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-723];player=img;"><img title="Camerawork" src="http://www.finleymuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/CameraworkMachine.jpg" alt="Camerawork" width="419" height="309" /></a></p>
<p>And on the <a title="Failure Magazine" href="http://failuremag.com/index.php/site/print/failure_the_seminar/" target="_blank">Failure Magazine website</a> like this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.finleymuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Picture-4.png" rel="shadowbox[post-723];player=img;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-726 aligncenter" title="Failure Magazine" src="http://www.finleymuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Picture-4-300x236.png" alt="Failure Magazine" width="300" height="236" /></a></p>
<p>And which was derived from this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.finleymuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Bush.FlatStanley.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-723];player=img;"><img title="George Bush and Flat Stanley" src="http://www.finleymuse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Bush.FlatStanley-300x251.jpg" alt="George Bush and Flat Stanley" width="300" height="251" /></a></p>
<p>Which we found <a title="Congressman Tom Petri" href="http://petri.house.gov/press/flatstanley.htm" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>We use this one image—sans Bush and friend—to stand in for the circulation and handling of the proxies: the daddies and the Stanleys.  Our proxy for theirs, the blank screen of projection, more important than the specific actors.</p>
