I’ve been writing for the past couple of months about the hoplophobia that’s been spreading through the Boston suburb of Newton, Massachusetts like a virus. Earlier this year, when townfolk discovered that a gun store was getting ready to open in the business district downtown, calls were made, groups were formed, and an organized campaign to kick the gun store to the curb was soon underway.
Over the past few months the city council has weighed banning gun shops completely, but ultimately settled on a change to zoning laws that will restrict gun stores to just a few square blocks in industrial or less-desirable pockets of real estate. Some gun control activists still say the town hasn’t gone far enough, but I ran across an interesting take from one of the proponents of the attack on Newton Firearms recently, who seems to be having some second thoughts about the whole crusade.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA
.-Fraenkel Gallery is presenting an exhibition of 45 photographs by Diane Arbus, curated by acclaimed contemporary artist Carrie Mae Weems. A long-time admirer of Arbus s work, Weems has selected images spanning Arbus s fifteen-year career, from 1956 until her death in 1971. The exhibition is on view at 49 Geary Street from June 3 to August 13, 2021, and will be followed by an exhibition devoted to Weemss own work in September.
Weems has cited Arbus, along with David Hammons, as artists of paramount importance to her. To inaugurate Fraenkel Gallerys recently announced representation of Weems, the artist was invited to curate an exhibition of Arbuss photographs, the sole directive being to focus on works that speak powerfully and directly to her.
