We're very excited about Magicka at RPS, and I'm currently trying to begin an adventure for part of our coverage. But the keyword at this point is "trying". The game has just gone live on GamersGate and Steam, but rather a lot of people are having trouble. Of the bugs reported, two have rather got in my way in the first two minutes, and an attempt to play a co-op game has already collapsed into an exchange of, "Can you connect now?" instant messages.
However, pleasingly, Paradox tells us that a patch is already in the works. And even better, new patches will be appearing every 24 hours to address any other issues that may arise.

List of oil fields
|This article is outdated. (November 2010)
This list of oil fields includes some major oil fields of the past and present.
The list is incomplete; there are more than 65,000 oil and gas fields of all sizes in the world.[1] However, 94% of known oil is concentrated in fewer than 1500 giant and major fields.[2] Most of the world's largest oilfields are located in the Middle East, but there are also supergiant (>10 billion bbls) oilfields in India, Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, Kazakhstan, and Russia.
Amounts listed below, in billions of barrels, are the estimated ultimate recoverable petroleum resources (proved reserves plus cumulative production), given historical production and current extraction technology. Oil shale reserves (perhaps 3 trillion barrels (4.8×1011 m3)) and Coal reserves, both of which can be converted to liquid petroleum, are not included in this chart. Other non-conventional liquid fuel sources are similarly excluded in this list.

22 June 2012 Posted by Briana Whitlock, Corporate Responsibility
The Generation Green programme is looking for curious kids to help us think outside the box with innovative ideas for getting Britons more curious about their energy usage. Read more from my colleague Kate Lemon below.
The Power of Curiosity
Kate Lemon, Programme Manager, British Gas Generation Green
The debate about whether our education system equips school leavers with the right skills for the world of work has long rumbled on, and even last week we saw a report from leading business organisation, CBI, stating that employers increasingly need to invest in reading, writing and maths skills in their workforce. However, as well as making sure young people have the basic skills needed for employment, there is a pressing need to unlock their potential to stimulate innovation in Britain.
We've undertaken research with the RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) which has identified that curiosity is key to stimulating innovation, but that, worryingly, Britain may be in danger of losing the kind of curiosity that we need to maintain our reputation as a nation of innovators.
Britain has won 76 Nobel Prizes for science and technology: more than anywhere else in Europe. Yet the RSA report has revealed that Britons are now more interested in experiences than they are in the pursuit of knowledge. This may be compounded by modern technology – whilst unlimited access to internet search opens up a whole world of information, it also discourages an in-depth search and engagement with a topic. Our hunger for knowledge becomes shallow rather than deep and impactful.
We've all experienced relentless 'why' questioning from very young children. Not a day goes by when my three-year-old daughter doesn't inundate me with questions, and I'm often tempted to ignore the inquisition after a while or say "just because", exhausted by a long string of 'why's.
But now there is an urgent need to foster this curiosity, in a child's early years, and also as they grow up and go to secondary school, university and out into the working world.
Our report draws together some powerful recommendations for parents, teachers and students of all ages to cultivate curiosity. Rather than the focus on the 3Rs that the CBI report calls for, it recommends that a movement away from rote learning and lessons that are exam question led is what's really needed for the future of British business. It is by allowing young minds the freedom to explore questions and time to develop an in-depth understanding of a topic that we will spur the innovation that is imperative to meet future challenges.
It is our hope therefore that we can help champion and encourage curiosity in young people. We want to harness their curiosity to help change the way people use energy. That's why, as part of our Generation Green programme in schools, we're launching a nationwide search for a panel of 11 children aged 7-14, who are the most curious and have the 'why factor'. The children will be invited to work with British Gas innovation experts to create new ideas to solve our energy challenges and address Britons' lack of curiosity about their own energy usage. We're also giving everyone the opportunity to test their own curiosity using a quick online quiz, developed with the RSA.
Our ambition is to help encourage curiosity among young people and ultimately help drive innovation in Britain as a result.
Visit www.generationgreen.co.uk/curiosity to nominate a child you think has the 'why factor'.

I really like the look of wardog for genesis, especailly those pants. I have a question for folks who have bought the product. Are the knee-pads and shin straps removable? How do the pants look standalone?
I am always looking for good Genesis male clothing, and I'm interested in the product, but could not see what the shirt and pants look like without the extras and whether they might look nice as civilian garb.

At Hostel Del Lago.
Lake level is rising.
I spent a few days in San Marcos just chilling and hanging out with cool folks. After realizing that I wouldn't be taking Spanish lessons here, there wasn't much to do except relax and enjoy the sunshine. I did take a day trip to San Pedro to do some shoe shopping with a couple of girls I met. I didn't actually shop for shoes (choosing to go get coffee while they explored the stores), but the visit to another town was nice. A couple of days in the sun and I was ready to head further west, to Xela (Quetzaltenango) to find a school and learn some Spanish. Stephen recommended a good school right off the center so I decided I would try there first and see how it goes.
Trip to San Pedro.

San Perdo Center.
Erin and Nicki.
The ride from San Marcos to Xela was pretty short, but beautiful. I had to climb out of the valley and the road was steep, narrow and very curvy, offering beautiful views. In some places the curves were so sharp that the chicken buses have to do a three point turn to make it around! I had no such problems :) I arrived in Xela after a couple of hours riding and checked into Miguel de Cervantes Spanish School (where I ended up staying for the next 5 weeks). Obviously I liked it, although I can't vouch for how much Spanish I actually learned. The people who work here are very cool and professional. I would recommend this school for any beginner or intermediate student. Accommodations at the school (I chose not to stay with a host family for several reasons, one being able to choose my own food) in a private room that ran 800Q ($100) a month or 250Q ($32) a week.
Mmmmm... coffee.
You can see the switch-backs...
Back on the main road.
And into the clouds.
Welcome to Xela!
After settling in, I went out to explore Xela a bit. It's a great little city that's easy to settle into. Everything I wanted or needed was within 6 blocks of the school including an extensive selection of great restaurants (local and foreign food), bars and clubs, a park and lots of coffee shops and cafes. After spending a bit of time in town I kept seeing familiar faces and running into the same people. Before long it was not unusual to meet up with people I knew wherever I went. I really enjoyed that feeling of community more or less after constantly being in new places and meeting new people.
Enthusiastically skeptical...

Cinnamon Beach Villas ligger vid norra änden av Lamai Beach. Området är känt för sina lugna och fridfulla omgivningar. Det är varken stora vågor eller bullriga jetplan eftersom som stranden skyddas av ett rev. Cinnamon är ett litet strandhotell där alla rum är individuellt inredda med thailändska och kinesiska stil influenser. Du kan välja mellan ett charmigt standard rum eller ett deluxe rum med panoramisk utsikt mot havet. Du kan även välja en villa nära stranden eller slutligen den hisnande utsikten över havet från en av takvåningarna. Alla rum har TV och DVD/CD-spelare, Wi-Fi, värdeskåp, och naturligtvis en minibar. Restaurangen serverar det bästa av hög kvalitativ thailändsk mat i en avslappnad atmosfär.

Die treppe zu den Bungalows ist schon anstrengend, der Pool ist recht klein, das Hotel ist etwas abseits gelegen, daher recht ruhig, das Personal ist nett und freundlich, zimmerreinigung war so o.k., klimaanlage recht alt, für 125,00 € pro nacht schon teuer

My partner and I stayed at the hotel for 2weeks, we had an amazing time. The hotel staff were great and attended to our every need. The hotel itself was very clean at all times, the location is not to far from Lamai s centre although we are young and love walking so for some it may not be the right place. But scooter or car hire is a must for the ones that dont like walking, though the views are spectactular on the way. I would deffinitley recommend this hotel and do intend to go back at some point for another holiday! Thanks to the staff and surrounding people that accomodated to us on our holiday!

Very very nice hotel with beautiful garden. The Manager and all staff very helpful and friendly. Only one problem location of the hotel, it s far from Lamai beach and Chaweng. But if you take a Motobaik it just only 200 bat per day this problem gone. Special thanks the manager of the hotel.I will recommend this hotel all my friends and who wants to spend holiday in quiet place.

A very nice hotel with excellent surroundings. Very far away from almost anything, but if you re seeking relaxation and a quiet holiday, this is the place to go. Hotel is small so don t expect the usual big breakfast buffet as in other big Thai hotels.

First I was startled that the hotel seemed out of reach, but then I found out, that everything for a nice and relaxed holiday was just around. The staff and all the people are extremely sweet and helpful, even though English wasn t that good, I could always get what I asked for. The garden with it s plants is simply stunning and beautiful. The only thing I do not recommend are the stairs leading down to the pool and beach arrear. If anybody is handicapped, do not go there. When you go down to the beach and walk along the righthand side you will find nice resorts for dinner (The Renaissance, The Radiance at The Spa) and if you do not rent a motorbike you will also have easy access with the open taxis going around (but never pay more than 60 to 80 Baht going to Chaweng) - All in all I felt as a single traveling woman very comfortable and safe at all times in Cinnamon and I am pleased to recommend it to whoever is looking for a nice and quit holiday location away from the very touristic and noisy Chaweng arrear.

Booking service to me was very fast and efficient and when I go back to Asia next time I will definitely book here again!

"Experience a taste of Thailand, by the sea at Cinnamon"
Cinnamon is situated on the Laem Nan headland at the northern end of Lamai Beach, adjacent to the Renaissance Hotel. The Resort is setting is very peaceful and relaxing, with views across the bay to Lamai, and on a clear day you can sea the mainland. The hotel rooms, reception and the restaurant, Cinnamon Kitchen are at the back of the site and the gardens run down to the sea. Next to the beach are the swimming pool and pool bar.
The concept was to create a small individual Hotel, with all the rooms having an individual look, with a TV and DVD in every room, a library of DVDs, CDs, and books for the guests to use, original artwork in every room, a restaurant serving the best of Thai food and a relaxed atmosphere, as if visiting the owner home.
All the rooms have panoramic views across the bay, and on a clear day you can see across to the mainland. The rooms are all individually furnished and decorated, with good sized balconies where you can sit, relax and take in the view. There is a pool and large sunbathing area next to the sea with a pool bar to serve you. There is a large selection of books, films and music to choose from.

750+ Quality And Free Textures By Lost & Taken
6 May
Lost & Taken is a website, curated by Caleb Kimbrough, that is totally focused on creating and providing free textures to designers.
Currently, there are 750+ high resolution textures in the gallery which are very well categorized (grunge, water, clouds, etc.) that helps reaching the right resource easier.
Besides the gallery, the website/blog itself is a must-follow for texture fans as it features collections of them.
P.S. All textures are free to use in both personal and commercial projects.

Votes Are in: All Clear for Debian Lenny
Debian developers have determined the outcome: proprietary components are acceptable, paving the way for Lenny, the next free distro of Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.
Votes from project members have finally put to rest the Lenny Release General Resolution and thereby confirmed specifics of the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG). The debate had raged over whether to accept proprietary firmware in Debian. The furor over the various options proposed by project secretary Manoj Srivestava had culminated last month in his resignation. Bdale Garbee, in his role as acting secretary, was the bringer of good news: the voting developers decided on Option 5, "Assume blobs [microcode driving hardware components] comply with GPL unless proven otherwise." Garbee's announcement goes into specifics about what this means.
Even so, many developers have requested further clarity. As Garbee writes, "[Debian project leader] Steve [McIntyre] and I have discussed it, and we think it's pretty clear. This result means that the Debian Lenny release can proceed as the release team has intended, with the kernel packages currently in the archive."
The complete General Resolution results are summarized here.

According to documents obtained by Senator Chuck Grassley, it appears Gillett purchased a number of different firearms at a gun dealership in Phoenix as part of Operation Fast and Furious. It also appears Gillett lied on 4473 forms by using an address that does not lead to his residence, which is a felony.
Grassley has sent a letter to the Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz asking for further investigation. From the letter:
Documentation appears to indicate that during Operation Fast and Furious, Mr. Gillett made multiple firearm purchases at a Federal Firearm Licensee (FFL) in Phoenix. According to the forms, Mr. Gillett appears to have purchased weapons on December 15, 2009,[2] January 5, 2010,[3] and January 7, 2010.[4] Documents show the residence listed on the Firearms Transaction Record (Form 4473) for two of the gun purchases was the local Phoenix ATF office. For the third purchase, Gillett listed a commercial shopping center in Phoenix as his residence.[5] Clearly, the addresses on the forms do not accurately and truthfully reflect Gillett's actual residence in Phoenix.
Lying on a Form 4473 is a felony and can be punished by up to five years in prison, in addition to fines. Many individuals who were arrested in Fast and Furious were charged for lying on the Form 4473. Jaime Avila, Jr. recently plead guilty to a variety of charges, including making false statements in connection with the acquisition of a firearm, and his initial arrest just after Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry's murder was for giving a false address on Form 4473.
One of the most troubling aspects of this new information is that one of the weapons listed as having been purchased by Gillett was recently recovered in Sinaloa, Mexico, the same weekend and in the same area as a shootout between the Mexican military and drug cartel members in Sinaloa, Mexico.
The January 7, 2010, purchase included an FN Herstal 57 Caliber pistol. According to documents, this weapon was recently recovered in an attempted homicide in between Caitime and Mocorito in the Guamuchil area of Sinaloa, Mexico.[6] Mexico's CENAPI requested the trace from ATF's National Tracing Center on November 29, 2012, and an initial trace was completed on December 4, 2012.[7] Another trace on the weapon was completed on December 10, 2012, indicating that the purchaser of the weapon was the former ASAC of ATF's office in Phoenix, George Gillett.[8]
During his OIG investigation of Operation Fast and Furious, Horowitz found Gillett's judgement and management seriously deficient.

Exhibition by photographers Dan Shepherd and Allan Gill at dnj Gallery
dnj Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibitions, "Blinded by Science: Alaska/CaliforniaCollection" by Dan Shepherd and "Xradiography" by Allan Gill. Both exhibitions feature photographs that explore the interplay between science and art. With years of training in their respective scientific disciplines, the artist both use their expert knowledge as a starting point for works that include not just scientific analysis but also very personal perspectives on the natural world.
With an M.A. in Environmental Science from Columbia University and an International Diploma in
Plant Conservation from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, England, Dan Shepherd uses his expert
knowledge of plants to capture their most interesting and graphic features. Shepherd develops a
layered, formal view of the environment by focusing on colors, shapes, and textures. As he
explains, he seeks to "use the power of abstraction to filter out the science details in his head" so
that he can focus on the purely visual elegance of nature and create almost portrait-like images of
trees, plants and landscapes. In this exhibition, he expands the breadth of his previous work by
photographing the characteristics of landscapes at two of his favorite botanical locations, Alaska and
California. Shepherd's series is fundamentally about his return to seeing, rather than scientifically
analyzing, the natural world.
Shepherd currently works as both a visual artist and a conservation professional for organizations in
Los Angeles. His photographs have been exhibited in various locations throughout the country, and
have been featured in several recent publications, including "The Orion Magazine," "The F-Stop
Magazine –Abstraction" and "Lenscratch." This is Shepherd's second solo exhibition at dnj Gallery.
After practicing veterinary medicine for decades, Allan Gill turned his medical X-ray equipment on
flowers and plants. His glowing images in Gallery II depict both the internal and external structures
of his subjects. As he explains, his "images are captured in much the same way as with conventional
photography, with the difference being instead of utilizing reflected light, I am able to utilize another
part of the electromagnetic spectrum…." Gill's technique may seem simple but in fact is the result
of years of experimenting with different kinds of X-ray equipment to find the right combination of
conditions that would allow him to record the level of detail he desired.
Gill lives and works in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. In addition to establishing a growing
audience for his photography, Gill is also a veterinarian. His photographs have been exhibited in
Canada and sold in the United States and have been featured in LensWork Magazine, Focus
Magazine, American Art Collector, Color Magazine, 'digitalis photo' (Hungary), and Black and White
Photography (Britain). This is Gill's first exhibition at dnj Gallery.

Jessica Eaton – Polytopes at M+B Gallery
M+B is pleased to present Jessica Eaton's first Los Angeles exhibition, Polytopes. Eaton's latest work views the world through the capabilities of photography using a wide array of experimental, analogue-based photographic techniques such as color separation filtration, additive color theory, multiple exposures, motion blur, in-camera masking, cross polarization and lighting techniques. Building on her highly reviewed series Cubes for Albers and LeWitt (cfaal) with Polytopes Eaton develops more configurations from repeated fragments, constructing sculptural works on sheets of large format film. The haunting, luminescent images bloom and grow before the viewer, the result of layered time and additive color theory. Polytopes runs from November 3, 2012 through January 5, 2013, with an opening reception for the artist on Saturday, November 3 from 6 to 8 pm.
Eaton shapes her latest artistic output "in camera" through multiple exposures and the use of different colored filters. In two new works, cfaal 276 and cfaal 279 the tactile, present nature of the work is exemplified through lush details of textured wood grain and large brush strokes radiantly depicted under added colors, their reflections offering up an engaging dimensionality to the work. Bold, vibrant angels energetically cut across space in Eaton's Tri/Colour/Angles work, the moment of potential, surprise and experimentation revealed at their aligning points. The use of the artist's studio as laboratory further expands in Eaton's Interpolation Dramatizations and RGB Weaves – the artist's analogue take on a digital solution. Through multiple exposures Eaton uses blur and stepped exposures to symbolize the bicubic smoother or Nearest Neighbor – interpolations algorithms used by imaging softwares such as Photoshop. Eaton's process and the fascinating result is a conversation with the world, navigating the forces of time and space the viewer is presented with a striking sense of possibility.
Jessica Eaton (b. 1977, Regina, Saskatchewan) holds a BFA in photography from the Emily Carr Institute in Vancouver, British Columbia. Her work focuses on the possibilities of the medium and is often experimental in nature. Jessica has been the recipient of the Grand Prix du Jury for the Hyères Fashion and Photography Festival 2012, Foam International Photography Magazine Talent Call 2012, the Bright Spark Award for the Magenta Foundation Flash Forward Emerging Photographers from the UK, Canada and USA 2011, "Hey, Hot Shot", Jen Bekman Gallery, 2010 and was awarded a Canada Council for the Arts research and creation grant 2011. Eaton's photographs have been published in numerous publications including Foam, Border Crossings, The British Journal of Photography (cover March 2012), ARTnews (cover image March 2011), BlackFlash, Colour Magazine, Pyramid Power, Hunter and Cook and Lay Flat 02: Meta. Jessica Eaton lives and works in Montréal. This is her first solo exhibition at M+B.

Dylan Vitone and Richard Gilles at dnj Gallery
dnj Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibitions by gallery artists Dylan Vitone and Richard Gilles. The main gallery will feature "Leisure" by Vitone. Gallery II will display "Towers" by Gilles. These are both artists' third solo exhibitions at dnj Gallery.
"Leisure" includes work from Vitone's "Yellowstone" and "Rutland" projects. In "Yellowstone," Vitone investigates modern society's interaction with nature, capturing the throngs of tourists who flock to the historic park. In contrast, in the "Rutland" project, Vitone explores less mainstream pursuits at Skatopia in southern Ohio. Photographing the skate enthusiasts who camp there, Vitone looks beyond the tough exterior of youth counterculture to find an underlying beauty and naïveté. Together, the projects form a dialogue about the role of leisure in American society.
As with his earlier series, Vitone stitches together several images to create a nearly 360-degree view, which, as he states, "allows [him] to show simultaneously details and relationships at multiple spacial and perceptual levels…." "Working in the tradition of street photographers and social anthropologists such as Milton Rogovin and Bruce Davidson, Vitone makes extended portraits of communities through intimate observations of their everyday rituals." (Leah Ollman, Los Angeles Times, 10-24-08).
Vitone is an Associate Professor in the School of Design at Carnegie Mellon University. He holds a B.A. in Photo-communications from St. Edwards University and an M.F.A. in Photography from the Massachusetts College of Art. His work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout the country and is in the permanent collections of many museums, including the George Eastman House, Rochester, New York and the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
Gilles' "Towers" series in Gallery II captures pairs of vertical structures set against stark panoramas with ample skies and low horizons. He views the towers as "sentries standing watch over the landscape" and, with Google Maps to help him scout locations across the United States (including many in California and Nevada), is meticulous about adhering to the rigid formula of pairs. "Towers" is a continuation of Gilles' ongoing exploration of the unnoticed and overlooked, and is an invitation to consider both the condition of the terrain and the symbolism of the structures occupying it.
Gilles earned his B.A. in Fine Arts from San Francisco State University. His work has been exhibited in California and throughout the country and is in the collections of the Southeast Museum of Photography, Daytona Beach, Florida and the University of California, Davis, Richard L. Nelson Gallery & Fine Arts Collection, Davis, California.

Todd Walker "Between Light and Shadow" and Melanie Walker "Wanderlust" exhibitions to open at dnj Gallery
dnj Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibitions featuring the work of father and daughter, Todd and Melanie Walker. "Between Light and Shadow" in the main gallery will highlight the pioneering work of the renowned photographer, Todd Walker. Gallery II will explore his influence on the photographs of his daughter, Melanie Walker, in her series entitled "Wanderlust." This is dnj Gallery's first exhibition of both artists' work.
Todd Walker was a prolific visionary who rejected a successful career as a commercial photographer to pursue his own artistic ideas using alternative photographic and printing processes and emerging technology. dnj Gallery's exhibition celebrates Todd's unique interpretations of two of the most traditional subjects available: the nude and the landscape. This show emphasizes Todd's concentration on "visual reality" and his desire to take a closer look at details. Consistent with Todd's constant experimentation with different media, the exhibition features silk screens, lithographs, collotypes and digital prints. Many of the pieces showcase the Sabattier technique for which Todd is well known.
Regardless of the medium, Todd's work is about a personal experience. He wrote, "For me, the image from the camera needs to be transformed into a picture. That transformation is an important part of my work. In addition to being involved with the image while using the camera, I must then concentrate that image, with my reaction to the illusions that I have about my environment, and form a concrete picture that attempts to describe and delineate my illusion."
Todd was born in 1917 in Utah and was raised in Los Angeles. He began his career painting sets for movie studios while attending the Art Center School in Pasadena. Prior to his death in 1998, he was a Professor Emeritus at the University of Arizona, Tucson. Previously, he had held positions at the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Florida, Gainesville. His work is in the permanent collections of prominent museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, and the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, Arizona.
For Todd's daughter, Melanie Walker, photography facilitates a visual dialogue with her father. In "Wanderlust," Melanie combines images from a decade of travels to investigate experiences of time, place and memory. In creating this series, she was influenced by her father's writing: "I remember a time, I remember a place, I try to return, It is not here. / The time was here, the place was then. I am now, not then. / Place, time and I happened together, but not again."
Melanie Walker is an Associate Professor, Interdisciplinary Media Art Practices, Photography at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She holds a B.A. from San Francisco State University and an M.F.A. from Florida State University. Her work is in the permanent collections of museums across the country, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, Arizona. Her work has appeared in numerous solo and group exhibitions.
This show runs November 3, 2012 to January 5, 2013
Artist Reception Saturday, November 3, 6 – 8 pm

EDWARD BURTYNSKY Selections From a Private Collection at Fahey/Klein Gallery
The Fahey/Klein Gallery is pleased to present a selection of work from renowned Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky. This exhibition, curated (culled) from a private collection, features large format photographs documenting the extraordinary global landscapes created as a result of human industry— mining, quarrying, rail cutting, ship breaking, mass recycling, and oil refining. Produced with exacting detail in large scale, Burtynsky's photographs exist in a delicate balance between a sobering reality and sublime beauty.
Specifically, this exhibition features a vignette of Burtynsky's ambitious effort to document the staggering destruction of the Three Gorges Dam project—the world's largest hydro-electric engineering feat to control the notoriously tempestuous and equally mythic Yanghtzee River in order to generate power for China's booming population. This series, similar in spatial grandeur but palpably different from Burtynsky's other work, is visually dense, apocalyptic, and ironically beautiful with each monochromatic vista of vast rubble resembling a traditional Chinese watercolor.
Although Burtynsky captures the consequences of our ever expanding footprint, he manages to evade the stereotype of an "environmentalist", a movement which Burtynsky believes has largely failed. "It's about messaging. It's not about indicting." Burtynsky has said in a recent interview. His photographs, which rarely contain people, successfully avoid making blanket judgments. "We are implied. There is an empathetic moment in my work. I see it as a thirty year lament at the loss of nature at our hands, at the expense of our expansion. Underneath every picture is that fact that nature is being pushed back and our footprint is just getting bigger. And I am that edge… trying to show that we are taking over more and more." (Spread Art Culture Interview, September 2010).
"Burtynsky's photographs appear to us as images of the end of time. The abandoned mines and quarries, the piles of discarded tires, the endless fields of oil derricks, and the huge monoliths of retired tankers show how our attempts at industrial 'progress' often leave a residue of destruction. Nevertheless there is something uncannily beautiful and breathtaking in the very expansiveness of these images – it is as if the vastness of their perspective somehow opens onto the longer view of things. For Burtynsky, nature itself, over time, can reclaim even the most ambituous of himan incursions into the land. As long as human needs and desires change, so too will the landscape." (Lori Pauli, "Seeing the Big Picture", Manufactured Landcapes, National Gallery of Canada, 2003)
Edward Burtynsky's work has been exhibited and collected internationally. Burtynsky's most recent monographs include China, Oil, Quarries, and the museum exhibition catalogue Manufactured Landcapes produced in conjunction with the first major retrospective of Burtynsky's work organized by the National Gallery of Canada. Among Burtynsky's many awards and distinctions include the TED prize and The Outreach Award at Recontres d'Arles. Burtynsky is an active lecturer on photography, and founder and president of Toronto Image Works, a landmark photographic lab and technical education facility in Toronto, Ontario where Burtynsky lives and works.
"..I try to photograph things that capture our imagination – that aren't just records of something. There is a transcendent quality to the pieces that transport us away from reality to a world of wonder—[I want to be able] to show a place that is familiar, yet unfamiliar."
This exhibition runs September 6 through October 20, 2012

MATTHEW NIEDERHAUSER Visions of Modernity at Fahey/Klein Gallery
The Fahey/Klein Gallery is proud to present Matthew Niederhauser's unique vision of China's consumer awakening, Visions of Modernity. Comprised of four distinct series, this extraordinary documenting of Beijing's rapid social, economic, and technological development in the first decade of the 21st century highlights the unique and idiosyncratic directions of China's unprecedented growth into, as Niederhauser calls it, China's "Gilded Age." As a new capitalist ethos pervades Chinese culture, Niederhauser's Visions of Modernity documents the complex, fraught, and often-ironic stages of this epic transformation.
"Megablocks," the first series in the project, examines the formation of a new Beijing surrounding the capitol's former imperial core, and with it, a new vision of modern China. Megablocks form as huge swaths of land are fashioned into towering apartment high-rises interwoven with malls and public spaces. Once built, they form distinct urban islands, bounded by grand avenues and hemmed in by larger highways. Their imposing and monotonous facades mark an elaborate transformation of social practices that continues to occur at an alarming pace across the city.
As megablocks become the status quo across Beijing, they not only drastically reshape the city, but also the manner in which people consume. In 2006, Ikea opened a massive 430,000 square foot location in Beijing, currently the third largest in the world. Stimulated by the construction boom and the increasingly materialistic nature of today's China, Beijing proved fertile ground for Ikea's economical but trendy furnishing. In "Homes," the second series in Visions, shoppers' desirous looks and gestures abound as they settle into couches, armchairs, and beds, "living" in Ikea's numerous showrooms. Each photograph suspends the customers in their appropriated Ikea environments, as if they were in their own residences. Here, new found nesting habits shaped by megablocks are satisfied.
In the new Beijing economy, no one wants to be a pedestrian, and vehicle purchases in China surpassed the United States for the first time in 2009. The biennial Beijing International Automotive Fair is ground zero for the consumer frenzy and ostentatious materialism of hundreds of thousands of Chinese car enthusiasts. Manufactures gather to capitalize on the seemingly insatiable demand for automobiles. Provocatively styled models strike poses in every booth while eager new consumers clamor to take a seat in their favorite vehicle in the giant exhibition halls. Niederhauser's "Cars" series epitomizes the praxis of China's reification and fetishism enabled by the increase of disposable income, opportunity, and a culture of consumption on overdrive.
But ownership is never enough, and acquisition does not quench the consumer drive. After Beijing's nouveau riche tire of monotonous megablock apartments and endless traffic jams, they need a vacation. While a passport to the monuments and landmark of the world still signal the highest social status and opportunities of wealth, a favorite local travel destination for the upwardly mobile is the Beijing World Park. Tucked into the southwestern corner of the city, the Beijing World Park boasts over a hundred small-scale replicas of famous monuments and buildings from all over the world. The final series of the quartet, "Vacations," captures staged encounters with objects of "modern" and "civilized" lifestyles, a bizarre artifact of the post-Communist materialism of China's meteoric expansion.
Ultimately, Beijing serves as a template for China's cultural ambition, and Visions of Modernity epitomizes the competing moral and cultural directions of the largest emerging capitalist market on the planet. Like many established first-world economies, the nouveau riche of Beijing spend most of their disposable income on homes, cars, and vacations. Niederhauser's Visions frames the tension of desire and acquisition, the fantasy of consumer capitalism being lived out in the façades of Western imports. While China's exploding population consolidates into ever increasing urban densities, the corresponding rise in wealth enables acquisition as fantasy fulfillment as a replacement for a culture being subsumed by mass-produced facsimiles of history, normalcy, and tradition. Visions of Modernity engages Beijing's embrace of the mirage of consumer satisfaction, the quixotic pursuit of happiness through the possession of a never ending barrage of the new, the improved, the modern.
Matthew Niederhauser is an artist, photojournalist, and videographer currently chronicling the massive changes in Chinese culture. His photography has been featured in The New Yorker, National Geographic, New York Magazine, Newsweek, The New York Times, The NYT Magazine, Time, and several important international publications. He continues to develop his documentary projects in China and lives in New York when not abroad. This is his first show at the Fahey/Klein Gallery.
This exhibition runs September 6 through October 20, 2012

PHOTOGRAPHY SCULPTURE FIGURE exhibition at M+B Gallery
M+B is pleased to announce PHOTOGRAPHY SCULPTURE FIGURE, a group exhibition curated by Matthew Dipple, with artists Daphne Fitzpatrick, K8 Hardy, Sara Greenberger Rafferty, Mariah Robertson and Sara VanDerBeek.
Photography composes space in two and three dimensions. Sculpture exists within space and defines volume. Within these volumes and dimensions the figure exists dangling, dancing, laughing, living, hidden, exposed . . . somehow it all connects. Not like mathematics. Photography, sculpture and the figure are companions that know each other intimately. They can live without each other, but get on so well when they are together: they co-exist in space, sharing rhythms, textures and thoughts.
The exhibition Photography Sculpture Figure brings together five New York artists all working in photography and (frequently, occasionally or abstractly) in sculpture. These five artists also, but not always, address the figure in their work. The pieces in the exhibition explore photography, sculpture and the figure—and the unavoidable physicality that results—in differing combinations of movement, the body, identity and performance.
Daphne Fitzpatrick was born in 1964 in Long Island, New York and lives and works in New York City. Her work has been exhibited at the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, TX; The Center on Contemporary Art, Seattle, WA; ICA, Philadelphia, PA; LACE, Los Angeles; Sikkema Jenkins Co, NYC; Participant, NYC; Art in General, NYC; Colgate University, Hamilton, NY; Jack Hanley, San Francisco. Fitzpatrick has contributed work to the publications ARTFORUM, North Drive Press and Interview Magazine, and she has received grants from Art Matters and The Jerome Foundation.
K8 Hardy was born in 1977 in Fort Worth, Texas and lives and works in New York City. She has had solo exhibitions at Balice Hertling, Paris; Galerie Sonja Junkers, Munich, Germany; and Reena Spaulings, NYC; and her work was included in the 2012 Whitney Biennale at the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY and the 2010 Greater New York exhibition at MoMA/PS1. She has performed at the Tate Modern, London; Artists Space, New York; The Serpentine Gallery, London; and the Transmodern Age Festival of Experimental Performance, Baltimore, Maryland. Hardy is represented in New York by Reena Spaulings and in Paris by Balice Hertling.

She then left commercial photography to pursue her own imagery, concentrating on urban landscapes and structures. In 1997 she completed her MFA at Claremont Graduate University and is currently Associate Professor of Art and Photography Program Coordinator at Long Beach City College.
Her photographs have been included in numerous solos and group exhibitions, and featured in a number of publications including LensWork, View Camera, Los Angeles, Better Homes and Gardens, Victoria, and Home Magazine. In 2007 Balcony Press released Austin Val Verde: Impressions of a Montecito Masterpiece, a monograph on the artist's intimate examination of a prominent example of the Classic Estate period in California.
The photographs of Unmade & Winter's Light are black and white archival pigment prints on handmade Nepalese paper. Unique in both texture and tone, the paper becomes a voice in each image, softening detail and providing a palpable luminance. This work shares the intimacy of Val Verde, but ups the ante. Representation and abstraction merge seamlessly in Unmade; images of a rumpled bed, empty in early morning light, are devoid of human presence yet rife with absence. The spare images of Winter's Light provide a counterpoint to Unmade – here the land sleeps, bare trees become linear sculptural forms arrested in seasonal change. Everyday-ness is transformed; the familiar becomes an object of meditation.
Curated by Ron Linden, the exhibition runs through November 2. For visuals or additional information please call 310-600-4873. Gallery hours are Monday – Thursday, 11 AM – 4 PM, and by appointment. This exhibition funded in part by the generous support of Linda Lee Bukowski.

What You Can Expect
First, you'll fly over the Visitor's Center on the Brazilian side of the falls. Then, heading towards the national park, you'll be able to see the surrounding jungle expand deep into Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. You'll capture some great photos of the rivers flowing through what seems like never-ending forest!
You'll then make your way towards the falls and fly as close to them as possible. Watch from above as the 275 waterfalls pump water into the Iguassu River below. Enjoy the aerial views of both the Brazilian and Argentinian side of the falls, as well as Devil's Throat (the largest waterfall in the region), San Martin Island and San Martin Waterfall (the second largest). Your pilot will circle around the falls a few times to allow each passenger to shoot photos from every possible angle.
