CANADA'S TOBIAS BEHARRELL INVITED TO
PARTICIPATE IN U.K.'s "ART ADDICTION
100 CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS" - 2nd year

Andrea Pagnez,   Art Critic, Fine
Artist   and   Editor   of "World of
Art" Magazine and Venice Biennial
Curator, Italy, Christopher Chamb-
er, Art Critic, Fine Artist and Editor
of “World of Art” Magazine,   New
York   (USA),     Marta Dimitrescu,
Fine Artist and Director   of Arto-
teque.com,    Editorial Director of
"World of Art" Magazine, London,
UK, Åke Wallén, Director of BGAB, Art Collector, Stockholm, (Sweden) and Peter Russu, Fine Artist, Director of Art Addiction, Editor and Publisher of "World of Art" Magazine, London (UK) have nominated Winnipeg photographer Tobias Beharrell to participate in the 3rd annual "Art Addiction 100 Contemporary Artists - Medial Global Art Annual" and today accepted four pieces of photographic art by Beharrell for inclusion.

Based from one of London's newest and thriving business districts - Canary Wharf - dubbed one of the most highly specified urban business areas in the world, this "by invitation only" competition originates from an extensive arts and events culture that is virtually incomparable to any other contemporary arts community in the world today.

2005 has already seen Beharrell in the winner's circle, with two awards for photographic excellence having been   awarded   to   him   by   another   international photographic   competition   in Tokyo, Japan.   In a career that is catching the attention of the world art community -- due in part to his ability to capture the essense of such a diverse range of subjects -- these were Beharrell's fifth and sixth international photographic juried successes in just four months.

"There are few things   more   humbling   than being accepted by the international art community,” Beharrell said from his Winnipeg, Canada home Monday. “After years of hard work comes the realization that "perfection" is a fluid reality in any artistic medium, and I have come to accept that the strength of art lies in it's true ability to have a real-time, beneficial effect on society today - especially when related to documentary work.” Beharrell went on to say that, "It is always a win-win situation, even in cases where I do not come out on top in these invitational competitions, as I am so thankful that the international community feels strongly enough about my work to request my participation in the first place!"

The aim of the organizers of the Medial Global Art Annual Exhibition, which runs through mid-2006, "is to encourage and promote the artistic confrontation of today's different trends in the development of the contemporary art form, to show a representative panorama of the evolutionary trends and tendencies of contemporary art, and to encourage and advance excellence in art as well as to further the international exchange of the art form [by presenting] a survey of
art works around the world."

Devoted to the latest development in art, and a crossroads for research on new means of production and diffusion, Artoteque (the online organizer - www.artoteque.com) is an international virtual encounter with image professionals, creatives and collectors. Beharrell's work can be seen on the worldwide web at www.ZaneMedia.com.

Beharrell To Document U.S. Celestial Sun Productions Tour Of
"DOES YOUR LIFE MAKE SENSE?" by Doctor, Author Lana Marconi

Tobias Beharrell   has   been added   to   the roster of
talent   for a possible   tour   with   Canadian-born writer Dr. Lana Marconi's upcoming stageshow, "Does Your Life Make Sense?". written and performed by Marconi herself.

Planned to debut in Phoenix, Arizona in June, Marconi ("Dr. Lana") -- real-life Doctor of Transpersonal Psychology and Energy Medicine, established author and performer -- is expected to draw an audience of thousands of enthusiastic guests and fans of her numerous inspir- ational   and   energy-charged   books   based   on the evolution of "higher thinking" and taking control of one's own direction in life.

Staged in a therapist's office in New York, chic-looking spiritual-psychologist   Dr. Lana   reverses   a   typical counseling session when her client,   "Alan Zeeker,"
(played by Frank Haggard, NYC Opera and Broadway Baritone Singer/Performer) comes to see her for help. Frustrated with listening to people's petty problems in- depth, she takes control and gives Alan an unexpected reality check.

Tour Coordinator Pamela Phares has   announced   a second date in San Diego, California (Saturday, July 9th) with further dates to be determined in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Denver and Chicago before heading north to Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa.

Photographer Tobias Beharrell would tour all cities in order to document the show and it's impact on audience members through still photography and video footage.   He   will   also prepare   footage   for   future television productions.   Born in Vancouver, Canada, Beharrell is known around the world for his award winning still photography.

Also involved with the project is Michael Bertolacini, a.k.a. "DJ Scalar" - a south Florida D.J. known for playing such venues as Hollywood's legendary Studio 56.

BEHARRELL PHOTOGRAPHS JUNO-NOMINATED ROOTS
BAND THE BILLS

Juno-nominated (ROOTS & TRADITIONAL ALBUM OF THE YEAR - GROUP) The Bills - fresh off the road from performing to audiences all over the United States - stopped in Winnipeg for a quick photoshoot with Tobias Beharrell Sunday.

Performing to thrilled audiences all over the world, The Bills typical mesmerizing personalities on-stage transformed into an energetic three-hour session with band members Marc Atkinson, Adrian Dolan, Chris Frye, Glen Manders and Jeremy Penner. With an unexpected snowstorm hitting the area just one hour into the photoshoot, Beharrell and The Bills took advantage of natural lighting in the luxurious ballroom of a well-known downtown hotel.

Four hours later, The Bills were on the way to their next appearance - four hours later - in Kenora, Ontario.

The Bills latest album, "Let Em Run", is widely available in Canada and due for release in the United States by Red House Records on April 5th.

"The biggest blast of fresh air to come out of Canada   since   The   Band,   the Bills present bucketfuls of good stuff: bustling bluegrass, hillbilly symphonies, gypsy-swinging virtuosity, harmony-rich sea chanties, some great new songs and shades of Cajun, country dance and La Bottine Souriante's Quebecois brilliance."

September, 2005 - Winnipeg MB - Could it be said that Beharrell is on the same page as this city's Mayor, Sam Katz? Or is city politics next on Tobias' agenda? Not yet, but his well-received painting-like photograph of two Canadian geese taking flight from a local pond found its way to the pages of the City of Winnipeg Annual Report.

Winnipeg's Doowah Design Manager Susan Gordon noted the image while looking through Beharrell's
work at ZaneMedia.com and immediately requested the image for inclusion in the 52-page annual report.

This year saw the City of Winnipeg focusing on "Investing in a Better Tomorrow", and included a number of images reflecting on the city's 8,800+ public employees and the roles they play in the community everyday.

BEHARRELL'S "New City" PHOTOGRAPHS TO APPEAR IN 2006 "WINNIPEG | Reflections of a City" and 2006 Visitors Guide

Dedicating his time to local and worldwide causes is an important motivation to Tobias Beharrell. This includes
giving-back to the city that he now calls "home". Three Beharrell images are included in the 2006 calendar titled "Winnipeg | reflections of a city" published by Destination Winnipeg.

The   three   images,   which
include a family skating on
a frozen pond, a full moon
floating in a pink sky near a
steam-billowing stack remin-
iscent of   Winnipeg   winters
and    the   (now well-known)
"Painted Geese" photograph
were picked out of over two-
thousand entries in a Province-
wide contest asking profes-
sional   and   amateur photo-
graphers   alike   to   share
"their vision" of this unique city.

Story by Jennifer Mattheson

Vancouver-born photographer Tobias Beharrell looks back on 2005 as "a changing moment". Having
pulled-up his deep roots on the busy and desirable
west coast just two years ago to re-establish his career in Winnipeg, Canada (the topographical center of North America), Beharrell reflected on what it takes for an artist to reach what many call working status. "When your strongest desires in life revolve around artistic endeavours, you never quite know what 'success' is and - if it exists - how to recognize it when it happens."

Now residing in a humble century-old character home in Winnipeg's West End/Wolseley area, Beharrell has plenty of time to ponder his achievements as Manitoba's well-known winter weather chills the air beyond what most Canadians can imagine. "My family and friends back home enjoy teasing me about our local weather, but by now I think I have seen it all." Beharrell refers to his numerous photographic excursions, from one-hundred-thirty degree weather in the Mojave Desert to the sometimes oppressive humidity of Southeast Asia and Southern Mexico. "It really made little to no difference in my career when I moved here," Beharrell muses. "It seems most of my work comes either from out-of province, the United States or overseas anyways. Technology is a wonderful tool for the arts. Most of the local work I do is volunteered." Beharrell believes strongly in giving back to one's community.

With publications and awards from Japan, Toronto, the United States and Canada to name a few, Beharrell has become somewhat of a photographer/celebrity in his own right. "I suppose that because so many people who are interested in becoming photographers themselves see my work and ask "how do you succeed in this business?" it keeps me questioning what it is that makes them think I have succeeded. There is so much more I have to do, so much more to learn. I look at the work of some of history's greatest photographic artists and think to myself 'I could never reach a level like that'. It does, however, keep me studying - pushing myself to bring three-dimensional reality to a very one-dimensional piece of paper. I truly believe it begins within rather than without (of each one of us) and with a bit of luck is transferred through the lens onto the image we envisioned. One of the most intrigueing aspects of photography to me is the timelessness of it all. A photo may well "paint a thousand words", but with technological advances, a photo can now literally last a thousand years!" It pushes me to make sure that what ends up in print is worthy of the centuries."
