Artista angolana Sandra Poulson expõe no MoMA PS1 em Nova Iorque

A exposição “Este quarto parece uma República!”, da artista angolana Sandra Poulson, está patente no museu MoMA PS1, em Nova Iorque, desde 24 de Abril até 6 de Outubro. A mostra reúne várias esculturas que remetem para o imaginário do dia-a-dia angolano e para a forma como o universo doméstico é contaminado por símbolos do exterior, sejam de Angola ou frutos da globalização. As obras compõem uma instalação polissémica e foram construídas essencialmente a partir de peças de mobiliário encontrado nas ruas de Amesterdão. “Este quarto parece uma República!” é o título inspirado das memórias familiares e do quarto da artista onde começou uma certa "criação da consciência política no espaço doméstico e também no seio familiar". A "politização do espaço doméstico" e a forma como os símbolos do exterior entram, "como cavalos de Tróia", dentro de casa é a principal linha de força desta primeira exposição de Sandra Poulson no MoMA PS1, em Nova Iorque. Sandra Poulson nasceu em 1995, em Angola, é formada em moda pelo Royal College of Art e pela Central Saint Martins, em Londres, e actualmente é artista residente na prestigiada Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, na Holanda. Participou na 60.ª Exposição Internacional de Arte – La Biennale di Venezia (2024), no Biennale College Art, na Trienal de Arquitectura de Sharjah, na Bold Tendencies (Londres) e no Pavilhão Britânico na Bienal de Arquitectura de Veneza (2023). Esta é a primeira vez que expõe no museu MoMA PS1, em Nova Iorque, e falou com a RFI sobre as obras que apresenta.RFI: O que conta a exposição “Este quarto parece uma República?”Sandra Poulson, Artista: “A exposição chama-se ‘Este quarto parece uma República!' e vai buscar uma frase que o meu pai costumava dizer quando entrava no nosso quarto em Luanda, que eu partilhava com os meus irmãos. Era, no fundo, uma repreensão sobre o quarto estar muito desarrumado e é uma frase que eu ouvi desde muito nova e que realmente eu não percebia até perceber que o denominador comum de todas as vezes que o meu pai dizia essa frase, era que realmente o quarto estava desarrumado. Eventualmente, eu começo a pensar nisso em relação a esta ideia de criação da consciência política no espaço doméstico e também no seio familiar. Na altura, Angola ainda estava em guerra civil. Esta criação de consciência começa muito cedo e começa nesse espaço muito íntimo. Ao mesmo tempo, também nesse espaço íntimo há uma série de objectos que são indicadores semióticos, que também alteram o ‘status quo' do corpo e que orientam, de certa forma, a consciência social. Então, eu começo a olhar particularmente para t-shirts e objectos de propaganda que são distribuídos gratuitamente, mas como se fossem quase cavalos de Tróia.” Fale-nos desses cavalos de Tróia. Que elementos estão representados na instalação? “A maior parte dos elementos são objectos de mobiliário encontrados todos em Amsterdão, que é onde eu vivo neste momento, onde estou a fazer uma residência na Rijksakademie. Alguns deles são mobiliário encontrado na rua, outros são coisas que comprei a pessoas individuais, mas quase tudo são objectos de mobiliário encontrados e intervencionados por mim e também há algumas peças completamente novas, feitas com madeira já existente.Todas as obras são feitas em madeira, alguma dela data do século XVIII, XIX e até, na verdade, dos anos 2000. Quase tudo é feito com espécies de madeira tropical que entra na Holanda através da exploração económica e de recursos. Essa madeira entra na Holanda e depois essas peças de mobiliário são feitas e são consideradas mobiliário holandês, mas são feitas com madeira tropical. A obra tem interesse na reclamação desse material como um caso de estudo e também não se saber exactamente em que momento é que aquela espécie entra no país.”A madeira tem também um significado político de expropriação? “Sim, sem dúvida. A madeira foi um dos grandes materiais exportados a partir de Angola, como o café, como o algodão e foi um material muito importante, ainda é um material importante, mesmo localmente. Na verdade, o meu interesse em madeira começa visitando um mercado em Luanda que é o mercado do Kikolo e trabalhando com um atelier a céu aberto de carpintaria, em que o mobiliário é feito por jovens e por tamanho. Na verdade, é mais barato comprar uma cama feita em Luanda por tamanho do que uma cama importada, se calhar, de muito menos qualidade por causa dos custos dessa relação com o exterior.” Na exposição, também tem uma t-shirt onde o perfil de um homem está recortado e lê-se “candidato a Presidente da República de Angola”. O negativo desse retrato está junto a um móvel às avessas. Há um significado particular? “Sim, essa escultura tem referência àquilo que é uma das t-shirts de propaganda mais disseminadas nos últimos anos no país e que é uma t-shirt que muitos angolanos têm em casa e que foi distribuída nas duas últimas eleições. É uma referência directa à disseminação da imagem do Presidente e também da possibilidade dessa imagem existir outra vez nesse espaço de intimidade. Muitas vezes estas t-shirts são feitas com algodão de muito boa qualidade e têm um tamanho largo e são t-shirts utilizadas para dormir. São t-shirts não só com a imagem relativamente a partidos políticos, mas a bancos, a organizações como a União Europeia, a petrolíferas e outras organizações normalmente do exterior que se tentam impor semioticamente no país. Esse é um dos exemplos de um objecto altamente disseminado e, naturalmente, com muito valor corrente.” Outra peça curiosa é “O Clube de Agricultores Familiares de Cabinda”, um pedaço de madeira suspenso com as estrelas da bandeira da União Europeia gravadas e com tudo a fazer sombra no chão. Mais uma vez temos aqui um significado político?“Sim, claro. ‘O Clube de Agricultores Familiares de Cabinda' foi uma iniciativa que, a certa altura, em 2013, recebeu algum dinheiro da União Europeia e essa obra tem um outline de um pólo. É também directamente uma referência a uma t-shirt utilizada pelo Clube de Agricultores em Cabinda. Cabinda é outra vez uma espécie de Cavalo de Tróia que foi dado a Portugal quando Portugal e a Bélgica negociavam quem dominaria a entrada do rio Congo que era muito importante para o transporte forçado de pessoas africanas escravizadas. Leopoldville ganhou essa disputa e, em compensação, foi decidido que Portugal receberia este território de Cabinda que está fisicamente separado de Angola. O que na Conferência do Congo não se sabia é que quase 100 anos mais tarde, em 1956, é descoberta em Cabinda uma das maiores reservas de petróleo do continente. Então, essa obra interessa-se nessa presença da União Europeia altamente semiótica, através de uma campanha de marketing que se esconde por trás dessa ajuda aos agricultores e dessa presença muito física.”Qual é o fio condutor que une as obras da exposição? “Eu penso que o fio condutor será esse estudo quase histórico ou arqueológico de diferentes casos de estudo que se vão repetindo e de uma proposta para nós percebermos como é que nós estamos a lidar com estes símbolos que nos rodeiam, como é que nós somos influenciados por estas coisas materiais que parecem não activas, mas que, na verdade, são muito activas. O fio condutor não deve ser uma narrativa fechada, mas é uma tentativa de colocar algumas perspectivas possivelmente factuais, perto umas das outras, para suscitar pensamento.” Mais uma vez, a sua arte é política também... “Além de muitas coisas, eu acho que é inevitável, com a História e as histórias que são transportadas através do tempo, através dos nossos corpos, através das nossas experiências e, particularmente, com as minhas - tanto a minha relação com Angola, com o meu país, com Luanda, a cidade em que eu cresci, mas também as minhas relações macro igualmente históricas e profundas, por exemplo, a relação com Portugal. É inevitável o corpo despolitizar-se. Não tenho muito interesse em etiquetas, mas a obra é, sim, política.”O que representa para si ter uma exposição individual no MoMA PS1?“É a minha primeira individual no MoMA PS1, mas também é o meu primeiro show num museu. É um marco importante, é um momento importante. A conversa com uma instituição é diferente de expor num contexto de uma galeria comercial ou de uma feira. A abrangência da exposição é completamente diferente, o PS1 é visitado por volta de 200.000 pessoas por ano e a exposição fica entre Abril e Outubro. O acesso que a obra tem é completamente diferente e eu já consigo sentir isso no feedback, nas pessoas que têm acedido e que têm entrado em contacto, mas também a nível do acesso de imprensa que tem a exposição. No fundo, tem a ver muito com números, mas também com a audiência que tem acesso, que é uma mistura de profissionais, mas também do público em geral.”Quer falar-nos um pouco do seu percurso?“Cresci em Luanda e saí com 18 anos. Fui para Lisboa, estudei Moda na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade Técnica de Lisboa. Daí vou para Londres, em que estudei também moda -  bacharelato e mestrado - em Central Saint Martins e depois no Royal College of Arts. Agora vivo em Amsterdão e estou a fazer uma residência artística de dois anos. O percurso foi muito marcado por ter estudado moda, mas também por ter percebido que aquele espaço académico não deveria delimitar a forma com que eu queria trabalhar e o que eu me interessava fazer. Ainda assim, a minha obra começou muito com essa relação com o corpo - inicialmente eram peças de roupa, mas depois começo a interessar-me mais e a pensar que as coisas que alteram o ‘status quo' do corpo poderiam ser outras coisas: a cidade, o pó, a história, a politização do espaço doméstico.”

Will the rapid growth in independent eye care services put patients with more complex eye conditions at greater risk of losing their sight?   With increasing numbers of NHS Eye consultants taking on more private work such as cataract operations this could mean fewer NHS appointments being available for patients with more complex conditions such as glaucoma or macular degeneration which in turn could cause a crisis point in eye care services. RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey was joined by Ben Burton, Consultant Ophthalmologist and President of The Royal College of Ophthalmologists to discuss some of the concerns the College has about the growth of independent practices taking on more cataract work and what this means for patients with complex eye conditions who need more urgent eye appointments which would in turn prevent more people from losing their sight and what can be done to stop this potential crisis point in eye care services.

The Medical Council's leading the investigation following patient complaints they weren't properly briefed on non-cannabis options at the clinics, or about the ongoing costs and side-effects of cannabis. The Royal College of GPs Medical Director Luke Bradford says regulation of the clinics is overdue.

Welcome to the Blink Friction Arts Podcast and the Music Crazy Robots.Today we are holding the Low End: exploring Renowned Female Double Bass Players Who Changed the GameWhen we think of double bass players, it's easy to conjure images of towering instruments, smoky jazz clubs, and the deep rumble of classical orchestras. But while the double bass has long been considered a male-dominated instrument—perhaps due to its sheer size and physicality—women have not only held their own but reshaped the narrative in profound and inspiring ways.Here's a celebration of some of the most renowned female double bass players, spanning genres from classical to jazz, who continue to break boundaries and make their mark.1. Esperanza SpaldingIf there's a modern icon of bass brilliance, it's Esperanza Spalding. A musical prodigy, Spalding plays both double bass and electric bass with virtuosic ease, weaving jazz, fusion, classical, and soul into a genre-defying tapestry. She made headlines in 2011 by winning the Grammy for Best New Artist—an award rarely given to jazz musicians. With a string of critically acclaimed albums and boundary-pushing live performances, Spalding's influence reaches far beyond the bass community. She's also a professor at Harvard, emphasizing innovation in music and performance.2. Chi-chi NwanokuBritish-born Chi-chi Nwanoku is a trailblazer in the classical music world. As the founder of the Chineke! Orchestra—the first professional orchestra in Europe made up of majority Black and ethnically diverse musicians—she has made it her mission to open doors in a traditionally exclusionary space. A formidable double bassist in her own right, Chi-chi was a principal bassist with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment for over 30 years. Her career blends musical excellence with social justice, making her a vital voice in contemporary classical music.3. Linda May Han OhHailing from Australia and now based in New York, Linda May Han Oh has become one of the most in-demand jazz bassists of her generation. Whether leading her own projects or playing with legends like Pat Metheny, Joe Lovano, or Vijay Iyer, Oh brings a deep musicality and sharp improvisational mind to every performance. Her tone is warm, articulate, and commanding, with an emotional range that speaks volumes. She also teaches at the Berklee College of Music and the New School, nurturing the next wave of bass talent.4. Kristin KorbA rare mix of bassist and vocalist, Kristin Korb blends bebop agility with a velvet voice. Originally from the U.S. and now based in Denmark, Korb carries forward the tradition of singing bassists (think Ray Brown or Slam Stewart) but with a distinctively elegant and lyrical touch. Her interpretations of jazz standards are joyful, inventive, and rhythmically tight, making her performances feel both timeless and fresh.5. Caroline EmeryFor lovers of classical double bass pedagogy, Caroline Emery is a key figure. A professor at the Royal College of Music in London, Emery has trained a generation of outstanding bassists, many of whom now play in top orchestras worldwide. She's known for her work with young musicians and her emphasis on posture, breath, and physical awareness—an essential contribution to transforming how double bass is taught and performed.6. Jennifer LeithamJennifer Leitham, a veteran of the jazz scene and an accomplished composer, performer, and educator, is best known for her work with the likes of Mel Tormé and Doc Severinsen. Her playing is powerful and deeply rooted in jazz tradition, but she's also known for pushing the envelope both musically and personally. As a transgender woman in jazz, Leitham has been an advocate for visibility and acceptance in the music world, proving that artistry and authenticity go hand in hand.7. Amy DominguesClassically trained yet artistically adventurous, Amy Domingues has explored everything from Baroque continuo playing to post-rock collaborations and experimental sound art. Based in Washington, D.C., she's a cellist and double bassist with a unique voice. Her work highlights the double bass's capacity for subtlety, beauty, and textural depth across genres.Why Representation MattersThe double bass may be one of the largest and most physically imposing instruments in the orchestra or on the bandstand, but these women show that passion, skill, and vision aren't confined by size or stereotype. They've not only expanded what's possible on the instrument—they've redefined who gets to play it.Whether you're a student, a listener, or a player yourself, exploring the work of these bassists is a powerful reminder of music's capacity to evolve—and to include.Want to dive deeper? Check out performances by these players on YouTube, explore their discographies on streaming platforms, and follow their latest work on social media. And if you're learning bass yourself—take heart: these legends prove that the possibilities are endless.Follow the music crazy team on YouTub @taletellerclub

Mental health in the military may seem like a confusing topic for NHS psychiatrists. However, there may be interfaces between the military and NHS at key points in a service persons' journey, which is why it is important for NHS psychiatrists to have a sense of understanding of this topic.

The Great Women Artists

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the acclaimed painter, Rose Wylie! Born in 1934, as the youngest of seven children to Victorian parents, Wylie spent her early childhood in India before coming to England aged 5. This was in 1939, in the midst of a bomb-filled Second World War and increasingly fractured world. She went on to study figurative painting, at Folkestone and Dover College of Art in Kent from 1952–56, at a time when tutors would say to her ‘It's no good bothering with you, you're a girl, you'll get married, have children and that'll be that.' … It was then to a teacher training programme at Goldsmiths before putting art aside to raise three children. This was, until 1979 when Wylie returned to the studio enrolling at the Royal College of Art, in her early 40s. Her first solo exhibition came a few years later in 1985, but despite Wylie working in her cottage-slash-studio in Kent for the last 50+ years – where we are very excitingly recording today – it was not until the last 10–15 years that her work has been given the attention and acclaim it has always deserved. Playful and fractured, featuring text overlaid with image, witnessing a Rose Wylie painting in person is to see the world in a different way. Wylie takes recognisable elements from pop culture, history, mythology, sport, even the Bible – from flowers, battenberg cakes, sportstars, queens, to the likes of Nicole Kidman and Emily Maitlis – and shows us them anew, in her paintings that are void of perspective to the point that there is no indication of where the work starts or ends. Her paintings are sometimes full of movement – like a football being kicked, almost balletically, with players, clad in yellow, darting across the dotty canvas that surrounds its viewer. At other times they remind me of a film playing out – like the blood-clad figure lying on the floor in Kill Bill – or even a script with stage directions featuring phrases like “getting dark” or “yellow” … Wylie's paintings are full of decisions, ideas, and the more I look at them, the more her world opens up… Now 90 years old, after a celebrity-filled birthday bash, Wylie is back better than ever for her exhibition at David Zwirner London “When Found becomes Given”, opening on April 3rd, and I couldn't be more delighted to be speaking to her at her Kent-based studio today.

A review confirms better access to care should be a key priority. Health New Zealand's released a Clinical Quality and Safety Review using data from the past decade. It reveals the number of people waiting more than four months to see a specialist tripled between 2020 and 2023. Royal College of GPs Medical Director Luke Bradford told Mike Hosking fewer people are also choosing not to access care, especially since Covid. He's concerned there's been a drop off in immunisations and cancer screenings. However, there is a belief the quality of care is getting better despite taking longer to access it. Bradford says there's been a decrease in surgical complications and better experiences had by patients in the system. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this presentation we cover the historical development and implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS); key milestones from Henrik Kellett's pioneering work in the late 1990s, to the formation of the ERAS Study Group and subsequent international efforts. Also, the differences in implementation between countries, particularly the coordinated efforts in the UK through the NHS and the more fragmented approach in the USA. There's an emphasis on the importance of protocol adherence, auditing, and feedback and barriers to implementation such as lack of agreement with evidence, organizational challenges, and institutional hurdles.

Mark-Anthony Turnage is a composer of contemporary classical music. Once called “Britain's hippest composer”, he has been in a rock band, got drunk with Francis Bacon, and tackled anything from drug abuse to football in his works. Mark was born in June 1960 in the Thames estuary town of Corringham in Essex. His musical talent was nurtured by his parents and he studied composition at the junior department at the Royal College of Music from aged fourteen. There he met the composer Oliver Knussen who became his tutor, mentor, and life-long friend. His first performed work, Night Dances, written while still at the Royal College, won a prize and heralded Mark's evolution into what one critic calls “one of the best known British composers of his generation, widely admired for his highly personal mixture of energy and elegy, tough and tender”. Greek, his debut opera, a reimagining of the Oedipus myth whose protagonist is a racist, violent and foul-mouthed football hooligan, shocked the establishment, which flinched, but accepted “Turnage, the trouble-maker” as a forceful voice. Over the past four decades he has sustained a distinguished and productive career that has seen him working closely with conductors of the stature of Bernard Haitink, Esa-Pekka Salonen and, particularly, Simon Rattle. He has been attached to prestigious institutions, such as English National Opera and both the BBC and Chicago symphony orchestras, and has written a vast range of music for many different instruments and ensembles. His influences include soul, gospel, all sorts of jazz and the great symphonic works of the repertoire. He has written operas, ballets, concertos, chamber pieces and choral works together with orchestrating a football match. His key works include Three Screaming Popes and Blood on the Floor (both inspired by Francis Bacon paintings, and the latter containing an elegy for his younger brother, Andrew, who died of a drug overdose in 1995), as well as more operas including one about the former Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith. Mark lives in North London with his partner, the opera director, Rachael Hewer. DISC ONE: Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125 II. Molto vivace - Presto - Molto vivace – Presto.
