American Typologies 1987-2003" is visual anthropology at its most engaging—an encyclopedic show of crisp, descriptive photos arranged by subject (mall parking lots, abandoned gas stations, storage units, trucks, barns) that never feels didactic or cynical. Walker Evans, Robert Adams, and the Bechers all come to mind, but Brouws seems more inclined to give Ed Ruscha's deadpan style of iconography a high polish and a shot of eye-poppingly vivid color.
