Karen Knorr and David Rosenfeld Exhibitions Reviewed by Dominique Baqué
Dominique Baqué reviews two concurrent photography exhibitions in Paris. Karen Knorr's 'Sanctuary & Spirits' at Galerie Filles du Calvaire (March 27 – May 17, 2003) explores Western representational codes and their historicization in museums, academies, and art schools, reappropriating ancient myths, allegories, and biblical scenes in a formal and conceptual spirit. David Rosenfeld's 'Les Modernes et Domino' at Galerie Alain Gutharc (March 27 – May 22, 2003) focuses on the human face—the gaze, the curve of a nape, facial features—repeatedly photographed under a violent and fragile lens.
