blog entry about
Jill Greenbergs End Times exhibition of photos.
this is the discription on the exhibition
Los Angeles, CA ? Los Angeles, CA April 28, 2006 ?End Times?, a politically charged photography exhibition by internationally acclaimed contemporary photographer Jill Greenberg, has been extended. The new dates are April 22nd through July 8th, 2006. A catalogue from the show is available. The work can easily be viewed at www.paulkopeikingallery.com or www.manipulator.com.
Following her enormously successful series Monkey Portraits, which debuted in October 2004, Jill Greenberg?s new work takes a more serious turn and has already hit a national nerve . "End Times" combines beautiful, poignant imagery, impeccably executed, with both political and personal relevance. Greenberg?s subject is taboo: children in pain. She utilizes this uncomfortable image as a way to break through to the pop mainstream and begin a national dialogue. Jill Greenbergs images are sharp and saturated, stunning and quirky; her work is soaked with realism and imagination.
Bill Moyer?s article ?There is No Tomorrow? more than touches on Mrs. Greenberg?s subject matter. In the article he states the amazing statistics: ?For the first time in our history, ideology and theology hold a monopoly of power in Washington. Theology asserts propositions that cannot be proven true; ideologues hold stoutly to a worldview despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality. The offspring of ideology and theology are not always bad but they are always blind. And that is the danger: voters and politicians alike, oblivious to the facts.
please read the blog and look at the pics, is it right or wrong?

(yes this could also go in SC but I thought it more apt here, at first)
