Grids: An Archive of Collective Memory presents a collaged collector card installation by artist Siemon Allen. The "Cards" series is a grid compilation of military trading cards, spanning seven decades and illustrating a history of military propaganda, technology advancement, and fluctuations in popular support of war in the U.S. The work highlights the perceptions of varied national identities that have been appropriated through the aesthetic lens of an artist as avid collector.
