Review

Base Camp Balata, an exhibition at The Spitz Gallery London until 31 July Reviews shows photos taken by children who are living in the west bank. indeed, photogrpahy by children is dodgy at best and raises questions as to what art is, or what it should be, but there is something rather compelling about this exhibit. I am not sure if it is the hopelessness of the auteur or the grit in the teeth of those less fortuante, but i could not be completely covinced that the eternal optimism found in most children was present here. that bereftness made this exhibit worth looking at. i'm not sure though it it should have been hung in this fashion, billed as an art exhibition.
