While some critics of the
Northwest "grunge" scene tend to
stereotype new bands out of Seattle
as being tedious and unoriginal, it's
important to realize that not all
bands are cast in the same mold.
Uln many cases, Northwest bands
have rolled with the punches that
came with the backlash from the
slew of successful acts that carried
the heralded "Seattle Sound."
Exposure from a major label also
^ tends to dampen the validity of a
Seattle band in the critical eye.

focused images. This change in artistic approach
sei tne stage ror tne ivjus aocumentary siyie,
developed by Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange,
Gordon Parks and the Farm Security
Administration photographers. Classic images
such as Lange's "Migrant Mother" transform
the individual portrait into icons of an American
era.
The Great Depression of the 1930s ushered in
a school of socially conscious photography that
documented the economic devastation in the
United States. This period saw the popularity of
the pictorial magazines Life and Look as the
images of photojournalism became the
American public's retreat from everyday hardships.
The photojournalist's eye influenced the
later fashion photography of Richard Avedon,
and the social documentary photographs of
Robert Frank and Diane Arbus.
The social isolation of Robert Mapplethorpe,
the pop portraits by Andy Warhol and die large
scaie details 01 unuck tjiose are part ol the
exhibition's move into the realm of contemporary
imagemakers. These artists are known for
their exploitation of photographic techniques
and the creation of their own individual statements.
The exhibition also looks into the future of
photography. Artists experiment with electronically
manipulated images through the use of
computers and color copiers.
"The Portrait in America: A Photographic
History" is organized by The Chrysler Museum
and circulated by The American Federation of
Arts. It has been made possible by a grant from
the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation.
The exhibition will be on display in the

have been dragged into the same
stereotypical grab bag as
Mudhoney, TAD and Nirvana simply
because they are from the same
music scene.
In reality, all of thdse bands have
their own unique sounds, each with
a hearty kick that sets them apart
from one another.
Enter Hammerbox, Seattle's latest
major-label offspring.
Following their first self-titled
debut on Seattle's C/Z Records,
Hammerbox's A & M follow-up
"Nuinb" throws together rough,
hard-edged guitar-driven rock with
a lyric, folk-inspired style.

On "When 3 is 2," the band
delivers an appealing mix, beginning
the song with a beefy set of

slow, soulful verse. It gradually
boils up and then launches into
another blaze of guitars before
sinking back to pensiveness.
Hammer box is an addictive,
energetic group that is sure to find
success. "Numb" is definitely anything
but, and revamps die formulaic
stereotype bestowed upon the
Nordiwest. It doesn't quite have the
complete "Seattle Sound." The
sound is all Hammerbox.
