The cars tumbled into the river when a trestle collapsed near Carver earlier this spring. According to Carver County Jail Administrator Reed Ashpole who oversees the dive team his crew participated in the recovery of two of the railcars. ?It was very interesting? said Ashpole. Divers went down in water as deep as 12 feet with current and zero visibility to attach cables and chains to the railcars so they could be pulled up by special equipment.

A frame shop enters realm of fine artBy Nitasha TikuAfter hours at Gallery 225 owner Peter Wallach and curator Victor Friedman stood gazing at a series of color photographs of the Coney Island boardwalk taken earlier this year. In one a squat brick building with the words “Shoot the Freak” stenciled across its side was juxtaposed with the façade of Cha Cha’s Bar & Café (“Entertainment for the Hole Family”). Behind the buildings the empty carts of the Wonder Wheel beckon. The vibrant series taken by Brooklyn-based artist Deborah Matlack was one of seven featured in “Worlds Apart” a photography exhibit at the gallery running until August 23. “She’s catching things that won’t be there very long” said Friedman referring to the fate of Astroland at Coney Island… The idea instead was to focus on “really good art” that they could sell affordably — in many cases by lesser-own artists who had created significant work in their own right. “Look at Erika Stone she started when she was 12; she’s 82 now” said Friedman. Stone a member of the much-lauded New York Photo League (started by Paul Strand and Bernice Abbott in 1931) was one of two artists featured in the gallery’s last exhibit. After fleeing Nazi Germany for New York at age 12 Stone went on to produce an arresting series of black-and-white photos taken at Sammy’s a raucous Lower East Side hot spot when she was only 17. “I didn’t know very much about flash photography at the time but I was young and gutsy” Stone said recently by phone from her Manhattan apartment. “I climbed up on the counter and took pictures of the Bowery Beauties from the top down. ”The idea for “Worlds Apart” came when Friedman went to see Stone speak on a panel run by Professional Women Photographers a non-profit headquartered a few blocks away.
A life under the knife
Sydney Morning Herald – Jul 25, 2007
Nor is it surgery undertaken for vanity but surgery asperformance. It gives a new meaning to operating theatre. And forgallery goers who would go to the opening of a wound they could doso quite literally for the procedures have been broadcast live togalleries in Europe and North America. The French performance artist 60 has been unsettling andalarming people for more than four decades since she began walkingin slow motion across her home town of Saint-Etienne as a teenager. Yet nothing has unsettled people more than the series of publicoperations she underwent in the 1990s. perations in which the chinof Botticelli’s Venus the nose of Gerard’s Psyche the lips ofMoreau’s Europa and the forehead of the Mona Lisa were used asguides to her transformation and images of them decorated theoperating theatre. Along the way rlan who will give a lecture inSydney next week has become both artist and art work and hermedium her own flesh… Andthis has invariably courted controversy. In 1977 she was fired from a teaching job after she presentedLe Baiser de l’Artiste outside an art fair in Paris. She satbehind a life-sized photo of her naked torso which operated like aslot machine. Customers inserted five francs between her breastswhich dropped to her crotch. As it did rlan leapt from her seat togive the customer a kiss. The performance prompted outrage. But theFrench art critic Catherine Millet likened the piece to “an X-rayof the frenzy of exchange of contracts in the contemporary artworld where the merchandising of the artist’s personality replacesthe merchandising of art”.
