| Indo-American Arts Council's Erasing Borders 2009
Gallery at Penn College, Williamsport, PA USA United States of America The Indo-American Arts Council�s 6th Annual Erasing Borders Exhibition (sponsors) features work by 27 artists whose origins can be traced to the Indian subcontinent. Twenty million people of Indian origin shifted countries in the 20th and 21st centuries. Implicit in the term Diaspora are the concepts of change and adaptation. Cultural dislocation generally produces unexpected and powerful results. Subject matter is often drawn from the country of origin, while many of the aesthetic values and political concerns come from the artists� newfound situations. Included in the exhibition is Antonio Puri who has promoted his work with a Portfolio at absolutearts.com since the websites' inception in 2000. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

| | | Davide Tranchina : Big Bang
Nicoletta Rusconi, Milano, IT Italy In his solo exhibition entitled 'Big Bang', Davide Tranchina is presenting a cycle of new works in which he has experimented with a different use of the photographic medium that, although it is more conceptual, seeks to explore new possibilities of expression.These works are large format black and white close-ups obtained by scanning the negative shadow images left on photographic paper by everyday objects placed in contact with it (known in English as 'photograms'). These light effects appear to be the fleeting traces of spectral presences, producing in the black space of the background images that are familiar yet surreal at the same time. They recall ghost ships, atomic mushroom clouds, stellar spaces and galaxies located in a remote and mysterious universe, permeated not only with magic realism but also solitude. Or else they may seem to be evanescent fragments of a dream and imagined realities emerging from our inner depths, where the most secret passions dwell. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Five Mistakes
Jason Horejs, USA
![]() Did you know on an average week I may be approached by as many as 20-35 artists looking for gallery representation? Most of them are ineffective. Are you making the same mistakes they are? Before I explain, let me introduce myself. My name is Jason Horejs. I have owned Xanadu Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona for more than eight years. Several years ago, I began to wonder why artists were inept talking to galleries. I quickly realized most were unsuccessful because there is very little information explaining the best strategies. That lack of information often leads to these blunders: Mistake #1: Presenting an inconsistent body of work. Artists generally love their freedom. They want to experiment. They love a challenge. They crave variety. All good things, except when you are presenting your work to a gallery.
