The Voting Booth Project

Itsy-Bitsy Democracy / Big Fucking Democracy, 2004
By DB and Danielle Spencer

The Voting Booth Project: A group exhibition curated by Chee Pearlman. A group of designers and artists re-imagine actual Florida voting booths from the 2000 Presidential election, commenting on design, democracy, and related themes.

“I love the voting process. Visiting public school cafeterias and mingling with everyone who lives in the neighborhood. But maybe we New Yorkers have it easy — in other places the process might feel intimidating, difficult & confusing. Like Alice after eating the cake.”  —DB
