Industrial Ethos:

Photography by Chris Dunker

February 1 - May 4, 2013

Northern Utah-based photographer, Chris Dunker presents 21 selections of his work in the exhibition Industrial Ethos. These photographs address the culture of industry and how industry appears over time. Dunker's fascination with urban decay provides a dystopian look at the modern, optimistic attitude of industry and manufacturing that has marked the progress and historical significance of northern Utah. Also included in the exhibition are antique books and photographs from Dunker's personal collection that document some of the earliest industrial breakthroughs such as steam turbines and generators. Certain industries, local to Cache Valley and the northern Utah region, are featured in this exhibition including ICON Health and Fitness, Thermo Fisher, Nucor Steel, and Sirtec Plastics.
