The New Gallery, Calgary, AB CA Canada While photography has frequently been refered to as �writing with light� artist Ted Hiebert is interested in the mediums much less commonly articulated debt to darkness. His new installation Unbecomings, on view at The New Gallery in Eau Claire Market from August 28 though September 26, 2009, is a series of large format images which seek to mobilize the codes of photographic representation for their psychological and delusional possibilities. If photography has been mythologized as a technology which can steal souls, Hiebert�s work questions whether it may also perhaps possess the power to return them. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Art4Barter, New York, NY USA United States of America What is Art4Barter? Bartering may be the answer to bail us out of our current crisis. Although artists have historically been bartering as much as possible it is more relevant now than ever before. It can provide a solution to survival for so many of us and create a new vision for society. The artists that are participating are all professional artists, and will present their works for barter. No works shall be sold for money but rather for services and goods. The exact service or good that the artist requires will be on the label next to their art. For example, if an artist were to ask for dental work or other medical procedures in exchange for their art, or for a studio to work in, etc., it will give the community an opportunity to barter for those items that are missing from the artists' lives. This unique exhibition is curated by Antonio Puri who has promoted his work with a Portfolio at absolutearts.com since 2000. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
