J. Shimon & J. Lindemann have collaborated as artists since 1983, choosing to focus on rural Wisconsin towns not far from where they both grew up. \u00a0As Wisconsin’s pre-eminent contemporary photographers, they use antiquarian cameras and printing techniques to record post-industrial settings, rural landscapes, small towns and shifting modes of life. \u00a0Their rich interchange between place and people sits alongside Von Bruenchenhein and Van Schaick’s works in an associative conversation about human relationships in particular times in history. \u00a0A retrospective of their work was held at the Museum of Wisconsin Art West Bend, through June 2015 and included a major catalog.<\/p>\n
In 2014, Shimon & Lindemann were named “artists of\u00a0the year” by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and received the Wisconsin Visual Art Achievement Award from the\u00a0Museum of Wisconsin Art this year. \u00a0They have done editorial work for the New York Times, and their work has been published in Visiting Tom<\/em> by Michael Perry (Harper Collins, 2012). \u00a0They have exhibited their prints in galleries and museums in California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin. \u00a0They live in Appleton, WI where they are associate professors of art at Lawrence University.<\/p>\n
