A rock group brought along their own building
for their gig at Club Hell (which is not in the basement;
it's upstairs, closer to heaven than hell. Lewis

One wonders whether the office space landlord realizes his building has vanished. Lewis
Ben Shahn is still alive, Walker Evans too.

Dowtown Providence. A recent fire damaged this building
which has always been this narrow. A separate building behind it
became a parking lot years ago. Lewis

The Bugatti that never took to the air. In 1937, the Bugatti 100P was an extremely advanced airplane project designed by the Belgian Louis de Monge for Ettore Bugatti, the famous sportscars builder. The aircraft was built under contract of the French Air Force ministry and two version were planned. The first one was a speed record airplane while the second one (110P) was a military version. The Model 100 was nearing completion when the Germans invaded France in 1940. The plane was loaded on a truck and hidden in a barn near the property of M. Bugatti, where it remained for nearly thirty years. Unfortunately it never flew but after going from hand to hand, the restored plane found it's way to the Air Venture museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, U.S.A., where it is still visible today.

This touring exhibition surveys a decade of photographic imagery exploring the subject of oil by artist Edward Burtynsky. The Canadian photographer has traveled internationally to chronicle the production, distribution, and use of this critical fuel. In addition to revealing the rarely-seen mechanics of its manufacture, Burtynksy photographs the effects of oil on our lives, depicting landscapes altered by its extraction from the earth and by the cities and suburban sprawl generated around its use. He also addresses the coming "end of oil," as we confront its rising cost and dwindling availability. This exhibition, premiering in the capital city of the United States in Fall 2009, represents a look at one of the most important subjects of our time by one of the most respected and recognized contemporary photographers in the world.
Exhibition opening in Huis Marseille, Amsterdam, on Saturday 28 November 2009 18:00 h.

"It's so stupid, they don't want me to shoot with my Leicas
and with my Contax cameras, cause they want digital files
sent by 'You send it!' right away."
