Philip Hoare is an award-winning writer whose books often describe the lure of the sea, the strange and beautiful creatures that live in it and the inspiration artists have found in its murky depths. His book Leviathan won the Samuel Johnson Prize: it drew on his lifelong obsession with whales, which began with the gigantic skeletons in the Natural History Museum and continued with his own encounters with them at sea. His most recent book, William Blake and the Sea Monsters of Love, traces Blake's enduring influence on numerous poets, writers, film-makers and musicians. He's also written about Noel Coward, the British socialite Stephen Tennant and the Netley Military Hospital on Spike Island, near Southampton. His musical choices including Prokofiev, Britten and Copland. Producer Clare Walker

In the last 1300 years Spike Island has been the site of a 7th century Monastery, a 24 Acre Fortress and in Victorian times it was the largest convict jail in the world. The island's history has included monks and monasteries, rioters and redcoats, captains and convicts, sinners and saints. Spike island remains a sanctuary for the souls that have never left.Spike Island sits just off the coast of Ireland and is a residual mix of occupation flavoured with misery, punishment and death.

Ep.223 Pio Abad (b.1983) is an artist whose work is concerned with the personal and political entanglements of objects. His wide-ranging body of work, mines alternative or repressed historical events and offers counter narratives that draw out threads of complicity between incidents, ideologies and people. Deeply informed by unfolding events in the Philippines, where the artist was born and raised, his work emanates from a family narrative woven into the nation's story. He has exhibited at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; 58th Carnegie International; the 5th Kochi-Muziris Biennial; Ateneo Art Gallery, Manila; Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; Kadist, San Francisco; Oakville Galleries, Ontario; the 2nd Honolulu Biennial; 12th Gwangju Biennial; 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, Sydney and Gasworks, London. He was recently nominated for the 2024 Turner Prize. Abad's works are part of a number of important collections including Tate, UK; Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Hawai​i State Art Museum, Honolulu and Singapore Art Museum. Abad is also the curator of the estate of his aunt, the Filipino American artist Pacita Abad. He has co-curated monographic exhibitions on Pacita Abad at the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design Manila and Spike Island, Bristol.

Irisch gut! – Folge 45 Blarney CastleIn dieser Folge geht es um einen ganz besonderen Stein, um eine Belagerung durch Oliver Cromwell, um eine Hexe und um Übernatürliches. Das alles in wunderbarer Kulisse einer altehrwürdigen Burg. Blarney Castle ist der Schauplatz – und Paul O'Sullivan erzählt uns von den zahlreichen Geschichte aus der Geschichte in Irlands historischem Osten ganz in der Nähe von Cork. Am bekanntesten ist die Burg sicher durch den Blarney Stone und seine magischen Kräfte: Man sagt, wer ihn küsst, erlangt de Kunst der Beredsamkeit und kann fließend und frei sprechen – kein Wunder also, dass auch Politiker und Versicherungsvertreter Stammgäste sind. Und kein Wunder, dass Paul O'Sullivan uns so begeisternd an diesen Geschichten teilhaben lässt. Shownotes:Irlands historischer Osten https://www.ireland.com/de-de/destinations/experiences/irelands-ancient-east/Blarney Castle and Gardens https://blarneycastle.ie/                                                      Blarney Stone https://www.ireland.com/de-de/things-to-do/attractions/blarney-castle-blarney-stone/Middleton Distillery https://www.jamesonwhiskey.com/en-ie/visit-our-distilleries/midleton-distillery-cork/Spike Island https://www.spikeislandcork.ie/Elizabeth Fort https://www.corkcity.ie/en/elizabeth-fort/Cork City Gaol https://corkcitygaol.com/English Market https://www.ireland.com/de-de/things-to-do/attractions/the-english-market/Cobh Titanic Experience https://www.titanicexperiencecobh.ie/Cobh Heritage Centre https://cobhheritage.com/                                

Donald Rodney (b. 1961, West Bromwich; d. 1998, London) worked across sculpture, installation, drawing, painting, and digital media, experimenting with new materials and technologies throughout his life. His work is known for being incisive, acerbic, and evocative in its analysis of the prejudices and injustices surrounding racial identity, Black masculinity, chronic illness, and Britain's colonial past. Rodney was also co-founding member of the BLK Art Group: an association of young Black artists formed in Wolverhampton in 1982.Visceral Canker is the major survey of the artist's work at Spike Island, bringing together all of Rodney's surviving works. This includes large-scale oil pastels on X-rays, kinetic and animatronic sculptures, and restaged installations, as well as sketchbooks and rare archive materials, spanning 1982 to 1997. Also on display is Autoicon (1997–2000), an interactive digital artwork initiated by Rodney and finalised by a group of his close friends after he died from sickle cell anaemia in 1998. The exhibition is curated by Robert Leckie, Spike Island's former Director, and Nicole Yip - the gallery's new director. Today, I am joined by both Nicole and Robert, to discuss the life and work of Donald Rodney, the ambitions of the exhibition and the complexities involved in interpreting an artist's work once they are no longer with us. The exhibition will tour at Nottingham Contemporary from 28 September 2024 to 5 January 2025 and at Whitechapel Gallery from 12 February to 18 May 2025.Please support our independent podcast by donating £5 hereRead Shade Art Review Shade Art Review Series 11 | 20% discount codeShade Podcast InstagramShade Podcast WebsiteShade Podcast is Executive produced and hosted by Lou MensahMusic King Henry IV for Shade Podcast by Brian JacksonEdit & Mix by Mae-Li EvansEditorial support from Anne Kimunguyi Help support the work that goes into creating Shade Podcast. https://plus.acast.com/s/shadepodcast.

Join us for an insightful discussion with esteemed anthropologist Dr. Amy Hale, focusing on the historical usage and evolution of the term 'Celtic' and its intertwining with alternative spiritualities since the 17th century. In this video, Dr. Hale dissects the layers of 'Celtic', tracing its journey from a linguistic and ethnic identifier to a symbol often adopted within various spiritual paths. She explores how and why this ancient term has become a pivotal part of many alternative spiritual movements, particularly from the 17th century onwards. Through this academic lens, viewers will understand the historical shifts in the interpretation of 'Celtic' and its impact on contemporary spiritual and cultural landscapes. Dr. Hale's nuanced discussion emphasizes the importance of contextual understanding when engaging with this complex term.

In 1520 the artist Albrecht Dürer was on the run from the Plague and on the look-out for distraction when he heard that a huge whale had been beached on the coast of Zeeland. So he set off to see the astonishing creature for himself. In this beautifully-evoked episode the award-winning writing Philip Hoare takes us back to those consequential days in 1520. We catch sight of Dürer, the great master of the Northern Renaissance, as he searches for the whale. This, he realises, is his chance to make his greatest ever print. Philip Hoare is the author of nine works of non-fiction, including biographies of Stephen Tennant and Noël Coward, and the studies, Wilde's Last Stand and England's Lost Eden.  Spike Island was chosen by W.G. Sebald as his book of the year for 2001.  In 2009, Leviathan or, The Whale won the 2009 BBC Samuel Johnson Prize for non-fiction. It was followed in 2013 by The Sea Inside, and in 2017 by RISINGTIDEFALLINGSTAR.  His new book, Albert & the Whale led the New York Times to call the author a 'forceful weather system' of his own. He is Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Southampton, and co-curator, with Angela Cockayne, of the digital projects http://www.mobydickbigread.com/ and https://www.ancientmarinerbigread.com/ As ever, much, much more about this episode is to be found at our website tttpodcast.com. Show notes Scene One: Nuremberg, home of Albrecht Dürer, at the height of its power as an imperial city, of art and technology. Scene Two: The Low Countries. Driven out of Nuremberg by the plague and a city in lockdown, Dürer escapes to the seaside. Scene Three: Halfway through his year away, Dürer hears a whale has been stranded in Zeeland.  This is his chance to make his greatest print, a follow up to his hit woodcut of a rhinoceros.  What follows next is near disaster, a mortal act.  It changes his life. Memento: Memento: A lock of Dürer's hair (which Hoare would use to regenerate him and then get him to paint his portrait) People/Social Presenter: Violet Moller Guest: Philip Hoare Production: Maria Nolan Podcast partner: Colorgraph Follow us on Twitter: @tttpodcast_ Or on Facebook See where 1520 fits on our Timeline

This week Carrie goes it alone, as Laura is on vacation, and we all quickly find stepping into Laura's polished and perfect shoes is no easy feat. So... Come with us to Spike Island in Ireland! For 1300 years the island was used as a monastery, military fort, housing, and a prison on four separate occasions. None of those prison set ups went well. Had they, we wouldn't be talking about it. Join Carrie as she tells us of the consistent reports of a British Soldier who is frequently shot at, a hooded black entity that terrified inmates for decades, and she shares compelling photos taken by visitors to the site that is now a popular tourist attraction!

Virtual Tamil Eelam doesn't connect itself to a physical label. Instead, it petitions to be recognised as a nation-state by publishing its heritage and cultural histories, diverse news, forums, distinct map designs and symbols, and suggestions for communal activities on websites that date back to the 90s. Ana describes how the Tamils have found creative uses of the web's varying information dispersal techniques, and the girls chat about how that addresses their national sentiments as autonomous, legitimate and independent.Follow us on Twitter @OurFriendCompAnd Instagram @ourfriendthecomputerMain research for the episode was done by Ana who also audio edited.Music by Nelson Guay (SoundCloud: fluxlinkages)OFtC is a sister project of the Media Archaeology Lab at the University of Colorado at Boulder.  References:- Skawennati, Mikhel Proulx, Dragan Espenschied, “Rhizome Presents: CyberPowWow and Panel Discussion”, December 10 2022, Rhizome, New Museum, New York- Christopher Kulendran Thomas, “Another World”, ICA, London, October 2022 - January 2023- Christopher Kulendran Thomas, “New Eelam: Bristol”, in collaboration with Annika Kuhlmann.

In September 1985, a riot erupted on Spike Island Prison in Cork Harbour. The island fort had been turned into a prison for 'joyriders', but within months, they rebelled against the regime and set the prison on fire. During that chaotic night there were reports that prisoners who had escaped found they couldn't get off the island and had to break back into the prison they had just escaped from. The Army was sent for and then sent away again. Civilian islanders were taken hostage by prisoners but then protected by them. So what really went on - and why? (2022) Narrated by Peter Mulryan. Produced by Peter Mulryan and Ronan Kelly. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
