From my current LA Weekly capsule review about the Antonio Turok photo exhibit "Oaxaca in our Hearts," at SPARC in Venice. Definitely check it out:
The images in “Oaxaca in Our Hearts,” sent directly from Oaxaca to SPARC’s Internet portal and shown here for the first time, comprise the best “news story” on the Oaxaca situation you’re likely to see anywhere. Turok’s black-and-white photographs are formally composed — a march, a brigade of riot police, a funeral, a bus engulfed in flames — heightening the sense of epic civil warfare. The closing image is of Brad Will, dead at the morgue, the serene expression on his face contrasting violently with the exposure of another corpse that Turok has layered over Will’s sewn-up chest cavity. It is an image you won’t likely forget, and it bears haunting witness to the Oaxaca struggle.
