National gallery in a garage
Toronto Star – Aug 4, 2007
1) seems at first to be stating the obvious. What other kind of photography is there for the most part aside from the art photo types and news photographers?But the very idea of leisure gets a workout from the three photographers in the show. For Edmonton-born Scott Conarroe leisure means the planet renewing itself in great shifts of light at dusk and dawn. For the Wiesbaden Germany-born artist Marco Bohr leisure results when the end of a process ? a journey a portrait or a quest ? is achieved. And for Moncton-born Jaret Belliveau ? also showing work at Gallery 44 until Aug. 14 ? it means The Dirt Squad a suite of photos of a group of kids shown goofing off over a period of three years.
Auto-erotic masterpieces

With the Crapper created by Karsh the company got a man who resembled a young James Dean or Marlon Brando a rebel who looked ready to run off with your teenaged daughter. r worse yet he looked ready to organize a strike. Today the photo is considered one of Karsh’s masterpieces and Ford is proud to show it off. The Crapper photo never made it as planned into Ford’s lavishly illustrated annual report in 1951 nor into any other of the company’s publicity materials for which Karsh supplied photos. Even Karsh was thought by some but not all art historians to be uncomfortable with the photo back then. The Crapper photo was not unique from the 1951 shoot. Another one of two men in front of a Ford painting booth in Windsor also failed to make the annual report… The newest show opened this summer at Charlottetown’s Confederation Centre of the Arts and will then go on a two-year tour to the Beaverbrook Gallery in Fredericton the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in shawa and some other venues yet to be finalized. Expect to see much of Karsh’s work in the next few years. Several exhibitions including one by ttawa’s homeless Portrait Gallery of Canada are in the works to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth in 2008. Many American museums will also be staging Karsh shows. The Crapper photo widely known as Rear Window shows the worker at No. 4 Ford plant in Windsor sitting in the back of a car putting trim cord on a rear window. Crapper appears to interrupt his work to stare directly some might say provocatively at all who would dare look at him.

Artist Sanjeev Sonpimpare’s scathing critique of money-crazy Mumbai…
Expressindia.com – Aug 4, 2007
In Maximum City it can become quite an obsession. With a gala opening at Vickram Sethi’s gallery ICIA at Kala Ghoda Sonpimpare’s show cocks a snook at the twin forces of globalisation and consumerism increased insecurities alienation and the psychological strains. “Literally the term ‘cash cow’ means a business unit that generates unusually high profit margins” explains Sonpimpare. “What I am looking at through my work is how this ‘profit’ has generated clones of Shanghai-malls multiplexes ATM centres flyover bridgeswhich is fine. However how do we treat our city then? Felling of trees leads to global warming and yet there is no concern of how to preserve a healthy environment” says the artist who lives in the suburb of Kandivili in a high-rise apartment that is built on what was once forest land. The options for new settlers are evidently limited and so the double-edged sword wields over the ever-expanding city… “This is skewed growth” says the J J School alumnus. While his diatribe may sound overly sincere his works are not without a sense of humour. The canvas that perhaps caught the maximum eyeballs is titled From the Material World and has a photo-realist image of the artist spewing coins from the folds of his eyelids. ther has him levitating over the city balanced on a one-rupee coin while a third work titled Power Lunch depicts him chomping on a cash-filled vada pav. “Using the rupee coin with the Ashoka insignia also looks at where our national identity stands in the global scene” he explains.
