‘India Song’ is part of an exhibition at Sandra and David Bakalar Gallery (Massachusetts, USA)

EXHIBITION ‘SEEING THE ELEPHANT’

Sandra and David Bakalar Gallery (September 28 – December 5, 2015)

Curated by Lisa Tung, Director of Curatorial Programs.

The Indian story of the blind men and the elephant tells of earnest, observant individuals trying to describe something. Each of them probes one part of an elephant and gives his description. The result is a wildly diverse range of properties from the ear to the legs, tail, and tusk. All are true yet they hardly coalesce and often conflict.

This is an apt parable for those documenting and drawing inspiration from India, a country that has long been a subject for artists, writers, and scholars fascinated by the nation’s colors, complexities, and contrasts. It is ancient and modern, agrarian and industrial, connected and self-contained.

Karen’s work is part of a summer show at Danziger gallery

JULY 7 – AUGUST 21
521 West 23rd Street
New York, New York 10011  USA

Karen’s work is part of the show at Danziger Gallery. For their 25th summer show, the gallery is presenting a group show of gallery artists that looks at the way much of today’s photography can be both wonderful – and a lie. Through the use of Photoshop, digital printing, and the increasing movement of the medium towards the subjective – photographers are more than ever constructing, conceptualizing, and experimenting with process and scale. Rather than being a medium dedicated to observing and recording the world as it appears before the camera, much of the most interesting work being done today deals with innovative ideas and fictions.

‘Gentlemen’ series is part of the touring exhibition ‘Work, Rest and Play’

WORK, REST AND PLAY: BRITISH PHOTOGRAPHY FROM 1960S TO TODAY

Featured as part of the 2015 UK-China Year of Cultural Exchange, this will be the first touring exhibition in China solely devoted to British photography. It explores the diversity of fifty years of British Photography, revealing the quirks of a national character and the traditions which fed into its everyday life.

‘Ladies’ series is part of The Goa Photo Festival

Karen Knorr’s series ‘Ladies’ will be shown as part of the exhibition:

PORTRAITS FROM AN ISLAND

Curated by Anna Fox and Amit Sheokand

Artists: Martin Parr, Anna Fox, Natasha Caruana, Karen Knorr, Sharon Boothroyd, Jason Evans, Eileen Perrier, Nigel Shafran, Clare Strand, Anthony Luvera, Wendy McMurdo, Neeta Madahar, Trish Morrissey, Daniel Meadows, Gareth McConnell, Andrew Bruce

The idea that a photograph can represent who a person actually is has long been debated, and it has been generally accepted that though the image of a face and body represented in a photograph might tell you something about a time and a place, it does not so often tell you much about that individual person. This new exhibition brings together contemporary photographic portraits by British photographers of British subjects.
