...Contemporary Art, Sydney's 1996 show, which pondered the future of photography in our computer-generated age. With a Los Angeles Times photographer fired during the Iraq war after he combined two images for added impact, it's a question that hasn't gone away. Just this month, British painter David Hockney, longing for the days when photography was the domain of darkrooms, not digital cameras, said the art form was dying because of its inability to remain "truthful" and "authentic...
...festival peer through one of the gallery's fire doors - some of the best work in the Biennial is as still as a painting. Indeed, Rosemary Laing's latest suite of photographs, One Dozen Unnatural Disasters in the Australian Landscape, sits charmingly alongside a new exhibition of the colonial painter John Glover. If his A View of the Artist's House and Garden, 1835, shows how Glover tried to plant a corner of England in the wilds of Tasmania, so Laing's Burning Ayer #1, 2003, illustrates a similar impulse to Europeanize the Outback.

And most of his daughters (and his wife Golde, played by Randy Graff) look like any other Broadway babies on the stage of the mammoth Minskoff Theatre. British director David Leveaux, moreover, has removed or toned down much of the shtetl shtick that has become identified with the show, the sort of thing that has kept Hadassah theater groups happy for decades. But that's no reason to dismiss a striking Broadway revival that manages to shake...
