A new covid wave has meant we are sadly unable to make an episode of The Londown this week. However, instead we're going to play you an episode of the Architecture Foundation's new podcast series Power and Public Space which was made in collaboration with Drawing Matter.In the episode Matthew Blunderfield speaks with the artists Mark Wallinger. Wallinger's art exists in public space. He's made films and performance pieces set in tube stations and airports, and was the first artist to occupy the empty fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in 1999. In this episode of Power and Public Space Wallinger discusses the installation “State Britain”, which reconstructs a protest encampment originally erected in Parliament Square by the peace activist Brian Haw.

Much of Mark Wallinger's art exists in public space. He's made films and performance pieces set in tube stations and airports, and was the first artist to occupy the empty fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in 1999. In this episode, Wallinger discusses the installation “State Britain”, which reconstructs a protest encampment originally erected in Parliament Square by the peace activist Brian Haw (in opposition to UK foreign policy in Iraq). The encampment was dismantled in 2006 under a new decree called “The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act”, effectively drawing a 1km radius around parliament within which unauthorised protests are prohibited. This protest exclusion zone happens to run right through the middle of Tate Britain, where Wallinger faithfully reconstructed Haw's encampment, placing it literally half in and half out of this threshold of controlled expression, with the line itself clearly marked on the floor. The installation was both a continuation of Haw's protest, as well as an artwork about it, and the line it traced became a kind of territorial drawing, marking a disputed boundary around what can be said in opposition to political authority, as well where, and in what context, we can say it.Power & Public Space is a co-production of Drawing Matter & the Architecture Foundation See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Boston Manor is considered one of architect Charles Holden's masterpieces, so in this episode we discuss his career in tube station design. At Boston Manor, Holden created a station with an elegant tower soaring above the flat roof - which upon visiting the station we discovered looks more impressive in photographs than reality! We also look at the history of the station dating back to its origin on the District Railway, as well as Brunel's nearby marvel of bridge engineering, the factory that built the underframes of the famous Routemaster buses, and the grand home of a distant ancestor of Princess Diana.

Upney station was opened in 1932, on a mainline railway that had been running since the 1880s. The station has only ever been served by District line trains, but it was built by the London Midland and Scottish Railway who owned the mainline at the time, and was run by LMS and then British Railways staff until 1969.

Mark Wallinger's 1993 "flesh and bone" readymade was a racehorse dubbed 'A Real Work of Art'. Although not so successful at the track it serves as an impressively dense, and very wry commentary on the British class system all wrapped up in a celebration of the suffragette movement. Kunst Please is a micro-dose of modern art history. Tune in every fortnight for an exploration into the more unexpected side of modern art, featuring stories of the famous and the infamous, the weird and the wonderful, the unheard, the cult, the criminally overlooked and the criminally insane.

Hear Me, See Me. Podcast. with Gary Mansfield.Fine artist, curator and Ministry of Arts Podcast host Gary Mansfield has had a most unlikely induction into the world of art: serving a fourteen year prison sentence in his early twenties for drug importation, Mansfield discovered the catalogue for the 1999 Saatchi exhibition Sensation, which brought together the group of artists known as the YBAs. and Mark Wallinger.Inspired by the work he saw, Mansfield contacted these up-and-coming artists form his cell, asking for information on their work and careers. A bold move, Mansfield's bold move was well received, and led to correspondences that would last throughout his sentence with the likes of Sarah Lucas, Gavin Turk, Gary Hume, Mark Titchner and Mark Wallinger.Under their guidance, Mansfield eventually completed a degree in Fine Art: an achievement that would come to have a profound and lasting impact on his sene of self. Since completing his degree, Mansfield has collaborated with the a number of the YBAs on various artworks and projects. He also works closely with prisoners & ex-offenders, curates large exhibitions to raising funds for various charities, and is a board member of the Koestler Trust. Intimately tied to his early life experiences, Mansfield's works explore themes of incarceration, focusing on the material enclosures of prison life, for a powerful and politically charged aesthetic.

The future of fiction is neither global nor national. Instead, Matthew Hart argues, it is trending extraterritorial. Extraterritorial spaces fall outside of national borders but enhance state power. They cut across geography and history but do not point the way to a borderless new world. They range from the United Nations headquarters and international waters to CIA black sites and the departure zones at international airports. The political geography of the present, Hart shows, has come to resemble a patchwork of such spaces. Hart reveals extraterritoriality’s centrality to twenty-first-century art and fiction. He shows how extraterritorial fictions expose the way states construct “global” space in their own interests. Extraterritorial novels teach us not to mistake cracks or gradations in political geography for a crisis of the state. Hart demonstrates how the unstable character of many twenty-first-century aesthetic forms can be traced to the increasingly extraterritorial nature of contemporary political geography. Discussing writers such as Margaret Atwood, J. G. Ballard, Amitav Ghosh, Chang-rae Lee, Hilary Mantel, and China Miéville, as well as artists like Hito Steyerl and Mark Wallinger, Hart combines lively critical readings of contemporary novels with historical and theoretical discussions about sovereignty, globalization, cosmopolitanism, and postcolonialism. Extraterritorial presents a new theory of literature that explains what happens when dreams of an open, connected world confront the reality of mobile, elastic, and tenacious borders.

In what may well be the largest work of public art in history, Turner prize-winner Mark Wallinger placed a uniquely designed labyrinth in each of London's 270 Underground stations. The project was commissioned to mark the 150th anniversary of London Underground. His extraordinary art-work is documented in Labyrinth: A Journey Through London’s Underground, published by Art / Books in association with Art on the Underground and with contributions from Christian Wolmar, Marina Warner and Will Self. Mark Wallinger came to the Bookshop to talk about the project with Will Self. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The Fault In Our Stars, starring Shailene Woodley, is the screen adaptation of John Green's best selling young adult novel of the same name about a pair of love struck teenagers both of whom are terminally ill with cancer. Brought together at a cancer support group the pair embark on a pilgrimage to Holland to meet the author of a book on dying. Green himself was a hospital chaplain and the story is based on an actual encounter with a dying 16 year old girl. Following on from the huge success of The Cuckoo's Calling a second novel from Robert Galbraith - aka JK Rowling. Featuring private investigator Cormoran Strike it merges an old fashioned detective story with Jacobean tragedy, whilst providing insight into literary London, a grisly murder and a page turning plot. Comedian and actor David Schneider's new play Making Stalin Laugh - at the JW3 Community Centre in London - tells the story of the Moscow State Yiddish Theatre which in the 1920s was one of the most respected in the world. Chagall designed for them, Prokofiev, Stanislavski and Eugene O'Neill all saluted them. By 1952 the surviving members of the troupe had all been purged - executed by Stalin on the same day in August. Making Stalin Laugh tells their story, with at its centre the most celebrated Yiddish actor of his generation, Solomon Mikhoels. Making Colour at London's National Gallery is the first ever exhibition of its kind in the UK and was developed from the National Gallery's own internationally recognised Scientific Department's work into how artists historically overcame the technical challenges in creating colour. As well as paintings it includes objects such as early textiles, mineral samples and ceramics and shows the huge impact the development of synthetic paint had on major art movements such as Impressionism. And The Human Factor: The Figure in Contemporary Sculpture brings together major works by 25 leading international artists who have fashioned new ways of using the human form in sculpture over the past 25 years. Featuring work from Jeff Koons, Mark Wallinger and Yinka Shonibare, exhibits include two re-imaginings of Edgar Degas's famous Little Dancer Aged Fourteen and in a work by French artist Pierre Huyghe a live beehive adorns a cast in concrete of a beautiful reclining nude woman.
This is the first of a new occasional series of ‘Research Bytes’ podcasts – looking very briefly at a cross section of research projects in an academic institution. In this podcast we talk to six academics from Goldsmiths, University of London. Goldsmiths is, of course, the alma mater of most of the YBAs - Young British Artists – Damien Hirst, Mark Wallinger, Gillian Wearing, Sam Taylor Wood and has a long history of cultural study, artistic expression and iconaclism. So it is not surprising to find academics in every department at Goldsmiths concerned about creativity. And we start the podcast by looking at Professor Joydeep Bhattacharya 's research project on the neuroscience of creativity. Next up is composer Jeremy Peyton Jones, from Goldsmith’s music department who is involved in practice research – on a project called 'Ending's, around the last pages of books including James Joyce's Ulysses and Jack Kerouac's On the Road. Computers and creativity come together in Dr Kate Devlin’s research – she is not only a computer expert but also an archaeologist, seeking to understand the past better using computer technology. A colleague of Kate Devlin’s in the Department of Computing is Dan McQuillan, lecturer in creative and social computing, and human rights activist who has been involved in establishing Crypto Parties, where people share computer skills particularly aimed at staying out of the way of the NSA, and when I spoke to him, he was getting ready for the first Crypto Festival. We’ve just learned that Goldsmiths computer whizzes has won a major government grant for PhD students to take forward the digital games industry in the UK Another important Department at Goldsmiths is the Education Department – Pod Academy has had other pieces about their groundbreaking research – this time I spoke to Clare Kelly, who heads up the BA in Education, Culture & Society, about her work on children’s literacy My last port of call in Goldsmith’s was with Dr Jo Lloyd, lecturer in occupational psychology – who is currently working on policies and practices for transgender people in the workplace If your college or university would like us to make a similar podcast, showcasing some of your research, drop a line to thepod@podacademy.org

If all figurative art approaches taxidermy in its crafty fixing of vitality, British contemporary artists have taken on board the conceit with striking compulsiveness. From Damien Hirst's sharks and sheep to Mark Wallinger's pedigree racehorses, sleekness and slaughter seem to be their thing. So what are they getting at and why should we care?
