Vista’s best-kept secrets
earthtimes.org – May 19, 2007
Continually tapping Tab while holding down the Windows key will cycle you through the open applications. Releasing the keys causes the program displayed on top of the stack of running programs to be displayed full screen. — Windows Photo GalleryWindows XP was woefully inadequate when it came to working with digital photographs. The best it could do was offer a thumbnail view of digital images from within Windows Explorer. Vista addresses the shortcoming in a convincing way with the inclusion of the new Windows Photo Gallery application free with every version of Vista. Windows Photo Gallery combines the features of an image viewer and manager file tagger for easy identification and later retrieval as well as editing tools. Each of these functions is necessary in taking a digital image from camera to final output without having to rely upon third-party products.
Breakaway auction house packs ‘em in

which shows amonsoon sky and trees reflected in water with fish swimmingthrough. It’s typical of the late nus’s ability to fuse Aboriginalmyths with European photo-realism. There are also some amazing works by Kngwarreye’s brotherKudditji Kngwarreye now in his late 70s who has graduated fromdot paintings to bright colour-field landscapes that almost recallthe work of Mark Rothko the abstract expressionist whose WhiteCenter (Yellow Pink and Lavender on Rose) just set a newrecord for a post-World War II painting $US72. 8 million atSotheby’s in New York on Tuesday. Dealers’ outingTraditional auction lore has it that sales of dealer stock tendto be less successful than sales of private collections. But it’snot clear whether this still applies today… Much of this loreseems to stem from the days when auctions were akin to a privateclub where dealers went to buy on the cheap and collectors rarelyintruded. Nowadays thanks to adroit marketing auctions are apublic spectacle collectors are a bigger force at auction thandealers and the internet means almost everyone can bone up on artand antiques and the prices they fetch. Then there’s the modern-day phenomenon of limited gallery hoursand entry being “by appointment only” – or via a buzzer – in thesesecurity-conscious times. That surely means less casual and passingtrade since only more focused and self-confident buyers will dropin and browse. Thus quite a bit of dealer stock could effectivelybe fresh to the market. Which brings us to Caspian Gallery in xford Street Woollahrawith its eclectic array of ceanic and Aboriginal waresethnographic items oriental carpets and textiles and prints. The gallery’s contents go on view this weekend pending anauction on Tuesday.

AL-BEIK is like a modern Don Quixote that carries his stick and hurries towards ideas. His photographs are complex. They require a lot of contemplation design and re-design in many ways as if he is making a film in each photo. We see photos of the woman between the past and the present the enslaved and victimized woman as well as photos of artists immersed in their own realms and ideas stripped of consumption in addition to symbolic blackness that besieges light. Each photograph is an unexpected artwork that does not resemble its predecessor yet they are all related with a mysterious thread. ** During the opening a 45-minutes documentary film will be showed produced and directed by the artist entitled: “Video Game”. It documents 15 plastic artists whose identities are their works.
Small things writ large

Keith Arnatt’s photograph of a note from his late wifeKeith Arnatt was a well-known conceptual artist in the early 70s – his films installations and photo records were exhibited at the Tate in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. ne show at the Tate in 1972 became notorious: he displayed the enrolment cards of all the staff members – they then had to be taken down because security guards objected to their photographs being displayed without permission. It was the kind of fuss Arnatt enjoyed; he liked the unpredictable and acts of provocation. Then in 1973 he was introduced to the work of Walker Evans August Sander and Diane Arbus and never looked back. His colleague David Hurn at Newport College of Art – where Arnatt was teaching sculpture – had opened a department of documentary photography… Arnatt’s driving force has been more conceptual than documentary and a decade or so later his artistic strategies are flourishing. Even so his photographic work has remained largely unrecognised. He has not enjoyed the benefits of gallery representation or high-profile exhibitions since his days as a conceptual artist – the only exception being the British Council which regularly toured and displayed his photographs. What a pleasure it is then to see I’m A Real Photographer Arnatt’s new exhibition at the Photographers’ Gallery. It provides a timely opportunity to explore and understand what an important artist and photographer Arnatt is and how his ideas have changed from outsider practice to mainstream thinking. I’m A Real Photographer: Keith Arnatt Photographs 1974-2002 runs from June 28-August 26 at the Photographers’ Gallery London WC2 (.
