Bells From The Deep / Christ And Demons In The New Spain
BELLS FROM THE DEEP (1993) Faith, superstition and mysticism in Russia: a "grand sorcerer" who attempts a mass exorcism; tribes who croak like frogs to achieve meditation; devotees who crawl onto a frozen lake to view a lost city at its bottom (Herzog admitted he hired local winos to play the pilgrims), viewed without comment.
CHRIST AND DEMONS IN NEW SPAIN (1999) The conquest of Latin America by the Catholic Church and the consequences of it for today's religious life in that region.
David Seymour, known professionally as "Chim," was a co-founder of Magnum Photos. The exhibition includes iconic photographs from his UN commissions, a series titled "Orphans of the Greek War," and stunning, little-seen photographs of women munitions factory workers during the Spanish Civil War.
"The Fate of the world's largest island hangs in the balance..." The exhibition, the result of Trent Parke's two-year road trip around Australia, is a bold fusion of documentary traditions and a radical contemporary imagination. Minutes to Midnight is an intense and darkly beautiful vision of Australia - one man's attempt to find his place within a country vastly different from the one in which he grew up.
The legendary Bruce Davidson has challenged himself in a remarkable new way, taking on the visual and metaphorical scope of Central Park. Davidson's photographic approach to the park's wildlife - human and otherwise - varies in format and in emotional quality. Always compassionate, often idiosyncratic, this work reveals a sublime and at times transcendent vision.
Bruce Davidson is the recipient of the National Arts Club 2007 Gold Medal.
