Stance visits London to explore the Tate Gallery show The 80s: Photographing Britain with campaigner Marc Thompson. The exhibition examines how photographers used the camera to respond to the seismic social, political, and economic shifts of the era, including the rise of Thatcherism, race uprisings, and the AIDS epidemic. It highlights photography as a vital tool for social representation, cultural celebration, and artistic experimentation, spanning landscapes, self-portraiture, and social documentary during this pivotal and highly creative period. Marc Thompson, a Brixton-born cultural leader and prominent British campaigner with over three decades of experience in HIV activism and education, joins Chrystal for a tour of Tate Britain. Together, they engage with the works of photographers such as Ajamu X and Rotimi Fani-Kayode, discussing the legacy of Black queer voices in shaping modern Britain, the cultural significance of Brixton as a hub for activism, creativity and nightclubs, and the ongoing fight for healthcare equity faced by marginalized communities today.

“I'm a nice guy, really!” laughs Gregory Green. The artist and pacifist teaches at The University of South Florida and is internationally known for his 3D installations of realistic bomb-making workshops and nuclear missiles. It's art with a political edge and educational aim, seeking to spur conversations about violence - and alternatives to violence - and exploring how information and technology are tools of social change. Gregory Green shares the theatricality behind his work, which includes more than a dozen fully-functional pirate radio and TV stations in the US and Europe, his “Gregnik” re-creation of the first Earth satellite and a three-stage booster rocket that's ready to launch if you've got the rocket fuel. Green tells of wrangling with the bomb squad, designing an installation for filmmaker John Waters' home, and how he was rated one of the Top 100 Artists in the World before 9/11, and how after 9/11 artwork about violence suddenly became much harder. Green's work is included in major public and private collections, including among others the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, the Tate Gallery in London, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Mori Museum in Tokyo and MAMCO Geneva.

What's it like to own a castle in England? This week we talk to Peter Frost-Pennington, husband of the owner of Muncaster Castle in Cumbria, England. He shares the history and attractions of the castle. The castle is located in the Lake District National Park and is known for its strategic location on the coast and its connection to the Roman Empire. The castle has been in the Pennington family for over 800 years and has been open to the public as a tourist attraction since 1968. The castle also houses the Hawk and Owl Centre, which specializes in owls and other birds of prey. The castle is also famous for the 'Luck of Muncaster,' a Venetian glass bowl given to the family by King Henry VI as a symbol of protection. Muncaster Castle is a living legend with a rich history and connection to the UK's heritage. During World War II, the castle served as a safekeeping place for Britain's national art treasures. The castle is also known for its diverse habitats and wildlife conservation efforts, including the preservation of endangered species like vultures. The castle has American connections, with John Paul Jones spiking cannons in the nearby port of Whitehaven during the American War of Independence. Muncaster Castle is also famous for its ghosts, including a crying child, a white lady, and Thomas Skelton, the Fool of Moncaster.

Wykład Urszuli Kozakowskiej-Zauchy, współautorki wystawy Olgi Boznańskiej, kierownika Działu Nowoczesnego Polskiego Malarstwa i Rzeźby Muzeum Narodowe w Krakowie. Muzeum Narodowe w Warszawie, 5 marca 2015r. https://wszechnica.org.pl/wyklad/milosc-i-nienawisc-krakow-olgi-boznanskiej/ Wybrała Paryż i tam umarła ale Kraków, rodzinne miasto, pozostał dla Boznańskiej jednym z najważniejszych miejsc na ziemi. Przypadająca 15 kwietnia 2015 roku 150. rocznica urodzin Olgi Boznańskiej stała się inspiracją do zaprezentowania twórczości jednej z najbardziej cenionych polskich malarek, zaliczanych do ścisłego grona najwybitniejszych artystek europejskich. Wystawa pod honorowym patronatem Małżonki Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej Anny Komorowskiej. Wystawa zorganizowana przez Muzeum Narodowe w Krakowie we współpracy z Muzeum Narodowym w Warszawie, ze specjalnym udziałem Musée d'Orsay. Olga Boznańska (1865–1940) jest jedną z najbardziej oryginalnych i cenionych w świecie polskich artystek. Jej prace reprezentują polską sztukę na wielu wystawach w kraju i za granicą. Córka Francuzki i Polaka, urodzona w Krakowie, tutaj też odebrała wstępne wykształcenie artystyczne. Naukę malarstwa kontynuowała w Monachium. Zachęcona sukcesami odniesionymi w świecie, osiadła w 1898 roku w Paryżu – stolicy ówczesnego artystycznego świata. Tam rozwinęła się jej kariera międzynarodowej portrecistki. Ona była malarką stuprocentową – to zdanie Józefa Czapskiego o Oldze Boznańskiej jest mottem programu wydarzeń towarzyszących wystawie artystki w Muzeum Narodowym w Warszawie, w którym znajduje się zbiór 57 obrazów Boznańskiej, w tym takie arcydzieła jak W oranżerii, Portret chłopca w gimnazjalnym mundurku, Pracownia artystki, Imieniny babuni czy Portret Anny Saryusz Zaleskiej, a także szkicowniki i fotografie. Duży zespół obrazów artystki jest zawsze obecny w kolejnych odsłonach stałej Galerii Malarstwa Polskiego a jej obrazy niezmiennie pokazywane są na wystawach sztuki polskiej, organizowanych przez warszawskie Muzeum Narodowe za granicą. Miejsce Boznańskiej w polskiej sztuce określił Wiesław Juszczak w błyskotliwej syntezie Modernizm z 1977 roku. Na przekór wszystkim, którzy pisali, że stylistyczna klasyfikacja malarstwa Boznańskiej jest niemożliwa, Juszczak powiada, iż stosując środki i technikę impresjonistyczną artystka osiąga ostateczny efekt napięcia emocjonalnego i drapieżnej ekspresji. Zauważa, że już w okresie monachijskim Boznańska odnalazła własną „przestrzenną formułę”: jej bezkonturowe postaci na niedookreślonych tłach już to się w nie wtapiają, już to się z nich wyłaniają, co daje poczucie niepokojącego pulsowania. „I od zasugerowania takiej przestrzeni »cerebralnej«, odrealnionej, rozpoczyna się tutaj przenikliwa, bezlitosna nierzadko opowieść o ludzkiej duszy”. Juszczak porównuje wibrujące plamy Boznańskiej do linii Wyspiańskiego: pozwalają one na przekroczenie wolumenu materii, by tym silniej wyrazić psychikę zjawisk i duszę artystki. W specyficznej polskiej recepcji kierunków zachodnich impresjonizm – powiada Juszczak – wiąże się z ekspresjonistycznym gruntem. Autorki wystawy postawiły sobie za zadanie dotrzeć do wszystkich dzieł artystki, a co ważniejsze, przedstawić je w kontekście dzieł artystów, na których Boznańska się sama powoływała, bądź z którymi wiązali jej dzieła krytycy. Na warszawskiej wystawie tylko na jeden miesiąc (do 25 marca 2015) pojawi się dzieło, z którym związek Boznańskiej będzie wyraźny i zachwycający, mianowicie obraz Whistlera Harmonia w szarości i zieleni. Miss Cicely Alexander z 1873 roku, użyczony nam przez Tate Gallery w Londynie. Boznańska widziała go razem z innymi obrazami artysty na wystawie w Monachium w 1888 roku.

A few weeks ago, Tate Britain hosted a captivating intersection of art, history, and activism. The Neo Naturists, a trailblazing artist trio consisting of Jennifer Binnie, Christine Binnie, and Wilma Johnson, captivated visitors as they transformed their nude bodies into living representations of iconic nude artworks from the gallery's collection, challenging the audience with a provocative question: “Do women have to be naked to gain entry into the Tate Gallery?” The lecture was part performance art, part art history, and part legitimate rebellion, cleverly criticizing the very establishment where they'd worked for over forty years to have the opportunity to exhibit.

Turtlezone Tiny Talks - 20 Minuten Zeitgeist-Debatten mit Gebert und Schwartz
Happy birthday! Heute vor 205 Jahren wurde Henry Tate in Charley, Lancashire geboren. Er war erfolgreicher Zucker-Unternehmer und zugleich Kunstliebhaber und Mäzen. Und er ist der Erfinder des Zuckerwürfels! 1878, mit 59 Jahren revolutionierte er den Zuckerhandel mit den kleinen, süßen Würfeln. Henry Tate war bekannt für sein soziales Engagement und seine philanthropischen Bemühungen. Er spendete erhebliche Summen an wohltätige Zwecke, darunter Krankenhäuser und Bildungseinrichtungen. Sein größtes Vermächtnis ist aber sicher die Gründung der Tate Gallery im Jahr 1897, ermöglicht durch seine Schenkung von 65 Gemälden und den finanziellen Mitteln für den Bau des Museums. Das war kurz vor seinem Tod. Tate verstarb am 5. Dezember 1899. Tates Vision war es, der Öffentlichkeit Zugang zu Kunst zu verschaffen und das Verständnis und die Wertschätzung für britische Kunstwerke zu fördern. Viele London-Besucher kennen Tate Britain und seit 2000 vor allem Tate Modern, am Südufer der Themse in einem umgebauten Kraftwerk.
London goes München: 80 Gemälde, Aquarelle und Skizzen des großen englischen Malers William Turner (1775 - 1851) sind derzeit im Münchener Lenbachhaus zu bewundern (bis 10.

Die Leih-und Tauschgabe der berühmten Londoner Tate Gallery ist Teil einer der gefeiertsten europäischen Kunstausstellungen: William Turner, der "Maler des Lichts", gilt als Vorreiter der Moderne. In seinen Bildern entfaltet die Farbe eine bis dahin ungesehene Freiheit.

The Turner Prize was established in 1984 by a group of art patrons who wanted to celebrate and support innovative and experimental art in Britain. The prize is named after J.M.W. Turner, a radical painter who challenged the conventions of his time with his bold use of colour, light and movement. The prize is awarded every year by the Tate Gallery to an artist under 50 years old who has made a significant contribution to British art in the past year. This year first prize was awarded to Jesse Darling, an Oxford-born artist who creates sculptures made of everyday objects that reflect the political and social realities of Britain and has received mixed reviews. What are some of the more shocking works? And what makes the Turner Prize so shocking? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Toronto-London based experimental group, The Flowers of Hell, founded by Greg Jarvis release their latest album called "Keshakhtaran" via Space Age Recordings. "The Flowers of Hell" is rooted in an old blues idea about how music transforms the misery and toil of musicians into the joy of listeners, as well as Baudelaire's poetry book called, "Les Fleurs Du Mal." "Keshakhtaran," meaning "seeking nirvana through meditation to sound, especially when you're stoned," is suitably named. The album presents a 42-minute instrumental psilocybin meditation piece in two parts, rooted in sax, flugel horn, chimes, harp,sitar and opera soprano vocals, augmented with tremolos, flutters, horns, woodwinds, strings and percussion. The album was mastered by Grammy recipient Peter J. Moore (Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Joe Strummer). For the past 18 years, The Flowers Of Hell have traversed the experimental edges of indie, classical and jazz, with music often rooted in the audio-visual synesthesia of Jarvis. Despite relative obscurity, they have been championed by music legends such as Lou Reed, Sonic Boom, Kevin Shields and members of The Legendary Pink Dots, Death In Vegas, The Wedding Present, The Fugs and The Plastic People Of The Universe, not to mention support from NASA's Mission Control team and the Tate Gallery. THE FLOWERS OF HELL also released their deluxe first vinyl pressing of Lou Reed-endorsed "Odes" album for Record Store Day UK. "Odes," pays tribute to The Joy Division, Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Stereolab, Laurie Anderson, The Velvet Underground, Siouxsie & the Banshees and Neutral Milk Hotel, among others. http://www.flowersofhell.comhttps://flowersofhell.bandcamp.comPlaylist and podcast: https://djnocturna.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DJNocturnaListen : http://modsnapradio.comQUEEN OF WANDS with DJ Nocturna Every Saturday on ModSnap RadioKMOD: San Antonio2pm (HST), 5pm (PST), 6pm (MST), 7pm (CST), 8pm (EST)
David talks about life before photography and his journey to becoming a full-time artist. He shares stories about life on the road and what happened when he met the Head of the Tate Gallery (it wasn't what he expected) and had dinner with George Bush. He also talks about the importance of real trust in business and why Richard Oury is his number 1 go-to man.

During a visit to London, Studs interviews a 73 year old cab driver in London, who has 50 years on the job. They discuss traffic jams, the elderly and the young, poverty, welfare, and society. Studs also interviews a number of people attending the Tate Gallery's Lichtenstein Exhibition.
Welcome to Purposely with Em Lewis, CEO of Nikau Foundation. Originally from the UK, Em is a skilled fundraiser and relationship builder who initially aspired to have a career in the arts. However, after working as a street fundraiser in London in the 90s, she decided to dedicate her professional life to philanthropy and fundraising. Em started by combining her passion for the arts with a role at the renowned Tate Gallery and later with roles leading Universities. While street fundraising can be challenging for many due to the number of passers-by who ignore or reject approaches, Em found it invigorating. She discovered that not only was she exceptionally good at it, but it also taught her valuable early lessons on how to engage people and how to separate any personal feelings of rejection from the cause she was promoting. Established in 1991 and inspired by a global movement, Nikau (originally known as Wellington Community Foundation) was the first community foundation in New Zealand. Today, Wellington is located at the bottom of New Zealand's North Island, and there are now 17 community foundations throughout the country. Each foundation works to make a positive and lasting impact within their respective regions. Collectively, these foundations have distributed over $50 million in the last five years, with a national asset base of over $230 million. Nikau Foundation serves as a guardian of $32 million, which has been invested by donors to support local communities in the future. Additionally, Nikau operates as a Corporate Trustee for existing funds and trusts, providing valuable guidance on regional needs. Two notable foundations they work with are the Mark Dunajtschik Foundation and The Michael and Suzanne Borrin Foundation. The community foundation movement has a rich history. It originated in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century, with the establishment of the first community foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, by Frederick Goff, a local banker and entrepreneur (Sacks 2014). Initially, community foundations were marketed as a means for banks to serve their local communities, and after the success of the Cleveland Foundation in 1914, similar foundations quickly emerged in the 22 largest cities in the United States. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mark-longbottom2/message

Before I launch into the usual litany of woe, and really, the stories making the news headlines are indeed indicative of a woeful state of affairs, I do think we should acknowledge some of the good news around. Zoe Hobbs was magnificent in Sydney over the weekend; the Tarankai raised, Auckland based sprinter has officially become the first New Zealand woman to run under 11 seconds for the 100 metres. Hobbs created history at the Sydney Track Classic by running 10.97 to scalp one-tenth of a second from her Oceania women's 100m record with an exhilarating performance. Sticking with sport, in the third game of their second season in Super Rugby Pacific, the Fijian Drua have claimed one of the biggest upsets in the competition's history beating the Crusaders 25-24 which has to be good news for rugby full stop. We also had three sold out concerts on Saturday night showcasing New Zealanders eclectic music tastes: BackStreet Boys, Snoop Dogg, and My Chemical Romance. So many beautiful emos in the central city on Sunday… and there's a great exhibition from the Tate Gallery on at the Auckland Art Gallery which is a must see. There was sunshine and people flocking to beaches, and I could pretend for just a moment that we'd had a summer up north. So that's the good news. We return now to our regular scheduled programming. How on earth is the government and Andrew Coster going to spin this? Retail crime is up nearly 40 per cent —nearly 300 incidents every single day— and that's just the reported crime. 292 incidents every day in 2022, up from 140 per day in 2018. Why? Because the crims know they'll get away with it. There's been a 400 per cent increase in ram raids in five years, 76 per cent of those caught under the age of 18. Why? Because the crims know they'll get away with it. If you're on any neighbourhood FB page you'll see the footage of crims coming up driveways looking for homes to break into, cars to steal, opportunties to take stuff they're not willing to work for - why? Because they know they'll get away with it. Violent gun crime is on the rise. Police data reveals that while the number of firearm offences has risen and fallen over the past 15 years, 2021 was the worst over that period with 1,308 firearms offences recorded. It surpassed 2019 when there were 1,142 incidents, including the mosque terror attacks. So 2021 worst year in 15 years - until 2022. That was on track for being the worst year ever. Data released by police under the Official Information Act shows 10 murder or manslaughter deaths in 2022, up until 31 July. There were 11 in total in 2021. Injuries are also running at a record rate, on track to exceed 300 firearm-related injuries for the first time. In 2021, there were 298 gun-related injuries recorded by police, the highest ever. Why? You know the chorus - repeat after me. Because they know they'll get away with it. And all we get from the Police Commissioner and this government is gaslighting: New Zealand is a safer place because of the gun buyback. There is no increase in crime. Ram raids have decreased since I became PM. There are more police on the streets. Fog cannons will make a difference. Utter, utter BS from a government that will not draw a line in the sand and say enough. No more. In a civilised society this is simply not acceptable and those who transgress, those who don't or won't observe the rules of civilised society need to be punished.

In 2016 the Tate opened up a viewing platform that proved an amazing vantage point for seeing the London skyline. Unfortunately it was also the perfect place to look directly into some nearby flats. As more and more tourists peered into the flats, took photos, and posted them on social media, the residents brought this claim based on the tort of nuisance. https://uklawweekly.substack.com/subscribe Music from bensound.com

Our Special Guest this week is Lord Ed Vaizey, politician, media columnist & commentator. Decisions of the Week: Decision of the Supreme Court in Fearn et al v Board of Trustees of Tate Gallery [2023] SCUK 4 dated 1st February 2023 allowing, by 3-2, an appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal who had dismissed an appeal from Mr Justice Mann who declined to grant an injunction based on the common law of private nuisance to stop members of the public from using a viewing gallery which afforded uninterrupted views into their glass walled flats. Decision of the Court of Appeal in R (oaf Whitley PC) v N Yorks CC & EPUK Investments Ltd [2023] EWCA Civ 92 dated 3rd February dismissing an appeal against the decision of Mr Justice Lane who had dismissed a claim for JR of a decision to grant planning permission for the extraction & export of pulverised ash based on alleged errors in the officer report & the failure to consider alternatives. Decision of High Court in Bristol Action Network Co-Ordinating Committee v SoS DLUC & Bristol City Airport dated 31st January 2023 challenging a decision of the appointed panel to allow a s78 appeal by the Airport, against the decision of North Somerset Council to refuse an application for the amendment of existing conditions to increase capacity by 2 million passengers per year on grounds related to emissions of greenhouse gases and impact on a SAC on which horseshoe bats roost & breed. Issues raised include the interaction/relationship with the CCA 2008 and local plan policy for the airport. Decision of High Court in Armstrong V SOS DLUC & Cornwall Council [2023] EWHC 176 (admin) dated 27th January 2023 quashing a decision letter dismissing an appeal by Mr Armstrong against the decision of Cornwall Council to refuse an application under section 73 of the TCPA 1990 to vary plans for construction of a new dwelling under an extant planning permission on the basis the application gave rise to a fundamental variation to the permission even though it would not give rise to any conflict with the description of the permission. The views expressed by our guests are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of the panellists.
Jess Harrold is joined by EG court reporter James Lumley, and partner James Souter and associate Sam Lear, both from Charles Russell Speechlys, for a detailed discussion of the Supreme Court's decision in Fearn and others v Board of Trustees of Tate Gallery [2023] UKSC 4; [2023] PLSCS 22. Together, they address the court's landmark ruling in favour of the residents of Neo-Bankside that the visual intrusion from a viewing platform at the Tate Modern - from which tourists can stare straight into their flats - constitutes a nuisance. Bearing in mind the extreme nature of the facts of the case, they address the implications of the decision and the potential development of the law of nuisance that may follow in its wake.
Martina Mazzotta"Max Ernst"Mostra al Palazzo Reale di Milanohttps://palazzorealemilano.itLa mostra, promossa e prodotta da Comune di Milano-Cultura e da Palazzo Reale con Electa, in collaborazione con Madeinart, è curata da Martina Mazzotta e Jürgen Pech.Oltre 400 sono le opere tra dipinti, sculture, disegni, collages, fotografie, gioielli e libri illustrati provenienti da musei, fondazioni e collezioni private, in Italia e all'estero.Tra questi: la GAM di Torino, la Peggy Guggenheim Collection e il Museo di Ca' Pesaro di Venezia, la Tate Gallery di Londra, il Centre Pompidou di Parigi, il Museo Cantini di Marsiglia, i Musei Statali e la Fondazione Arp di Berlino, la Fondazione Beyeler di Basilea, il Museo Nazionale Thyssen-Bornemisza di Madrid.Il lungo lavoro di studio e d'indagine compiuto dai curatori ha permesso di includere tra i prestiti, che vantano la presenza di un'ottantina di dipinti, anche opere e documenti che non venivano esposti al pubblico da parecchi decenni.L'immensa vastità di temi e sperimentazioni dell'opera di Ernst si spalma su settant'anni di storia del XX secolo, tra Europa e Stati Uniti, sfuggendo costantemente a una qualsivoglia definizione. Pictor doctus, profondo conoscitore e visionario interprete della storia dell'arte, della filosofia, della scienza e dell'alchimia, Max Ernst viene presentato in questo contesto quale umanista in senso neorinascimentale.Se André Chastel affermava di rinvenire in Ernst una sorta di “reincarnazione di quegli autori renani di diavolerie tipo Bosch”, Marcel Duchamp vi aveva rintracciato “un inventario completo delle diverse epoche del Surrealismo”."Max Ernst"a cura di Martina Mazzotta e Jurgen PechElectahttps://electa.itIl volume, edito in occasione della mostra a Palazzo Reale di Milano, intende estendere e rinnovare le ricerche intorno al genio di Max Ernst, pittore, scultore, incisore, poeta e teorico dell'arte tedesco, poi naturalizzato americano e francese.La pubblicazione è un'opportunità inedita per immergersi in un diario illustrato che documenta e scandisce l'avventura straordinaria che fu la sua vita. I saggi critici dei curatori, Martina Mazzotta e Jürgen Pech, insieme con quelli di studiosi internazionali (Yuval Etgar, Ludger Derenthal, Matteo Pavesi, Paola Stroppiana, Ursula Lindau), ne esplorano la produzione artistica in rapporto con la storia dell'arte, la memoria e le avanguardie (Dadaismo e Surrealismo in primis), con le crittografie e i temi cosmologici, con le tecniche sperimentate, con la scultura e gioielli, con il libro e la letteratura, con il cinema, con le amicizie e gli amori illustri. Tali letture sono accompagnate da schede critiche di approfondimento dedicate ad alcuni dei capolavori esposti – in un corpus di più di 400 opere -, da una selezione di scritti originali dell'artista, alcuni dei quali inediti in Italia, e da una serie di saggi storici a firma di grandi protagonisti della letteratura critica intorno a Max Ernst e al Surrealismo, quali André Breton, Georges Bataille, Paul.

Ben Luke talks to John Akomfrah about his influences—including writers, musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work.Akomfrah was born in Accra, Ghana, in 1957 but has been based in London since he was a child. From his early years with the Black Audio Film Collective to his recent works as a solo artist, he has explored major issues—including racial injustice, colonialist legacies, diasporic identities, migration and climate change—through a distinctive approach to memory and history. First shown on television and in the cinema, his films are increasingly made for museums and galleries, in the form of ambitious, often epic, multi-screen video installations. He is one of the great film-makers of the last few decades. He discusses discovering Jackson Pollock through Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz album, his early experiences of the Tate Gallery and ongoing love of J.M.W. Turner's paintings, his passion for John Milton's Paradise Lost and Virginia Woolf's The Waves, and his enduring engagement with music from post-punk to John Luther Adams. He also gives us insight into his studio life and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate one: what is art for?John Akomfrah: Purple, Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, D.C., 28 October–summer 2023; The Unfinished Conversation, Tate Britain, London, until the end of 2022. A new work will be shown at the Sharjah Biennial, 7 February-11 June 2023, and The Box, Plymouth, UK, from December 2023. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Craig David joins Julia Bradbury and Richard Coles. The singer-songwriter found fame age 18 with ‘Rewind' and over the next 22 years dealt with the highs and lows of fame. Craig talks about his career, overcoming obstacles and rediscovering his good vibes. Kwesia aka City Girl in Nature grew up in Deptford, an inner city area of London. Growing up Kwesia dealt with violence and trauma but an opportunity to go to the Peruvian Amazon rainforest changed her life and she now works to share her love and passion for the outdoors. Sandy Nairne was deputy director of London's Tate Gallery back in 1994 when he was woken in the early hours to be told that two Turner paintings, on loan from the Tate, had been stolen in Frankfurt. They were worth £30 million. He became the person responsible for tracking them down, which would take eight and a half years. Jamie Oliver shares his Inheritance Tracks: (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay by Otis Redding and Only To Be With You by Roachford. Susannah Constantine made her name as a stylist in What Not To Wear. She talks about her life, from being an 80s IT girl to the impact of her mother's illness, and her own alcoholism. Craig David's new album 22 is out now and his book What's Your Vibe is out on the 6th October. Kwesia features in a new podcast called Waterland's from The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. Catching the Art Thieves is on the BBC iPlayer now. One by Jamie Oliver is out now Ready for Absolutely Nothing by Susannah Constantine is out now. Producer: Claire Bartleet
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Rhodri Davies on why he's not an EA, published by Sanjay on August 18, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Rhodri Davies is a smart, reasonable, and well-respected commentator on philanthropy. Many people who follow charity and philanthropy in the UK (outside of EA) are familiar with his blog. He also has a background in maths and philosophy at Oxford (if I remember correctly) so he's exactly the sort of person that EA might attract, so it should be of interest to the EA movement to know why he didn't want to sign up. The critique that I most liked was the one entitled "Is EA just another in a long line of attempts to “rationalise” philanthropy?" I've copied and pasted it below. Rhodri has spent a lot of time thinking about the history of philanthropy, so his perspective is really valuable. Is EA just another in a long line of attempts to “rationalise” philanthropy? The dose of historical perspective at the end of the last section brings me to another one of my issues with EA: a nagging suspicion that it is in fact just another in a very long line of efforts to make philanthropy more “rational” or “effective” throughout history. The C18th and early C19th, for instance, saw efforts to impose upon charity the principles of political economy (the precursor to modern economics which focused on questions of production, trade and distribution of national wealth – as exemplified in the work of writers such as Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus and David Ricardo). Then in the C19th and early C20th the Charity Organisation Society and Scientific Philanthropy movements waged war on the perceived scourge of emotionally driven “indiscriminate giving”. Charity Organization Society, by Henry Tonks 1862-1937. (Made available by the Tate Gallery under a CC 3.0 license http://www.tate.org.uk/art/work/T11004) This perhaps bothers me more than most people because I spend so much of my time noodling around in the history of philanthropy. It also isn't a reason to dismiss EA out of hand: the fact that it might have historical precedents doesn't invalidate it, it just means that we should be more critical in assessing claims of novelty and uniqueness. It also suggests to me that there would be value in providing greater historical context for the movement and its ideas. Doing so may well show that EA is genuinely novel in at least some regards (the idea of total cause agnosticism, for instance, is something that one might struggle to find in previous attempts to apply utilitarian thinking to philanthropy). But the other thing the history of philanthropy tends to show is that everyone thinks at the time that their effort to make giving “better” or “more rational” is inherently and objectively right, and it is often only with the benefit of hindsight that it becomes clear quite how ideologically driven and of their time they actually are. For my money, it is still an open question as to whether future historians will look back on EA in the same way that we look back on the Charity Organisation movement today. The other thing that historical perspective brings is the ability to trace longer-term consequences. And this is particularly important here, because efforts to make charity more “rational” have historically had an unfortunate habit of producing unintended consequences. The “scientific philanthropy” movement of the early 20th century, for instance (which counted many of the biggest donors and foundations of the era among its followers) had its roots in the 19th century charity organisation societies, which were primarily concerned with addressing inefficiency and duplication of charitable effort at a local level, and ensuring that individual giving was sufficiently careful to distinguish between ‘deserving' and undeserving' cases (as outlined further in this previous article). Over time, how...

Magnus records the unique artistry of Willie Leece, the modest creator of a unique style of rural assemblage sculpture. The ‘Hedge' art works of this quietly thoughtful Manx farmer are selected to be hung alongside a blockbuster travelling Tate Gallery exhibition for a giant of the twentieth century's artistic fraternity, Herr Kurt Schwitters. An unforeseen consequence of the Dadaist's exhibition propels Magnus towards entering his artistic endeavours for London's Royal Academy of Art summer exhibition. . ‘Commander Benedict Forksbeard – The Startled Speed Reader' and ‘Longnose Peggchin – The Sentimental Viking Poet' are hung, but not as expected.
Talk Art series 13 continues!!! We meet British sculptor and contemporary visual artist Hew Locke. The artist shares the inspiration behind his decades of work and reflects on the process of making his new and exciting large-scale installation 2022 Tate Britain Commission, The Procession.A procession is part and parcel of the cycle of life; people gather and move together to celebrate, worship, protest, mourn, escape or even to better themselves. This is the heart of this ambitious new project. The Procession invites visitors to ‘reflect on the cycles of history, and the ebb and flow of cultures, people and finance and power.' Tate Britain's founder was art lover and sugar refining magnate Henry Tate. In the installation Locke says he ‘makes links with the historical after-effects of the sugar business, almost drawing out of the walls of the building,' also revisiting his artistic journey so far, including for example work with statues, share certificates, cardboard, rising sea levels, Carnival and the military.Throughout, visitors will see figures who travel through space and time. Here, they carry historical and cultural baggage, from evidence of global financial and violent colonial control embellished on their clothes and banners, alongside powerful images of some of the disappearing colonial architecture of Locke's childhood in Guyana.The installation takes inspiration from real events and histories but overall, the figures invite us to walk alongside them, into an enlarged vision of an imagined future."What I try to do in my work is mix ideas of attraction and ideas of discomfort – colourful and attractive, but strangely, scarily surreal at the same time." Hew Locke.Locke was born in Edinburgh, UK, in 1959; lived from 1966 to 1980 in Georgetown, Guyana; and is currently based in London. He obtained a B.A. Fine Art in Falmouth (1988) and an M.A. Sculpture at the Royal College of Art, London (1994). In 2000 he won both a Paul Hamlyn Award and an East International Award.His work is represented in many collections including those of the The Government Art Collection, The Pérez Art Museum Miami, The Tate Gallery, The Arts Council of England, The National Trust, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, The Brooklyn Museum, New York, 21c, The New Art Gallery Walsall, The Victoria & Albert Museum, The Imperial War Museum, The British Museum and The Henry Moore Institute, Leeds.Follow @HewDJLocke on Instagram and visit his official website: http://www.hewlocke.net/Learn more about his new installation at Tate, it's free to visit until 22nd January 2023: https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/hew-locke See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Britain is on the go-to list for tourists worldwide but, with the value of the pound reaching historic lows after the Brexit vote, a visit has became more timely.英国是全球游客的首选名单,但随着英国脱欧公投后英镑的价值达到历史低点,访问变得更加及时。The summer is a great time to be in Britain. The British Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Tate Gallery are all a must-see for everybody who comes to the country, but there's also a lot of interesting things to do for those who love the outdoors.夏天是来英国的好时机。大英博物馆、自然历史博物馆、泰特美术馆都是来到这个国家的每个人的必看之地,但对于热爱户外的人来说,也有很多有趣的事情可以做。The Notting Hill Carnival changes the face of the famous London borough in the last weekend of August. 诺丁山狂欢节在 8 月的最后一个周末改变了著名的伦敦自治市镇的面貌。It's the largest street festival in Europe. First held in 1964, it's a celebration of Caribbean culture but now includes Brazilians, Africans, Europeans and anybody else who likes to dress colourfully and feels the urge to dance to the sound of a beat.这是欧洲最大的街头节日。它于 1964 年首次举办,是对加勒比文化的庆祝活动,但现在包括巴西人、非洲人、欧洲人以及任何喜欢穿着五颜六色并渴望随着节拍跳舞的人。With its popularity growing it's estimated that 50,000 performers will take part in the parade, attracting more than 1 million people over the weekend.随着其受欢迎程度的提高,估计将有 50,000 名表演者参加游行,周末将吸引超过 100 万人。Outside the capital there's also plenty to do. 在首都之外,也有很多事情要做。Early in August there's the Robin Hood Festival in Sherwood Forest Country Park, Nottinghamshire. 八月初,诺丁汉郡舍伍德森林郊野公园将举办罗宾汉节。The legendary characters of books and movies – Robin Hood and the evil Sheriff of Nottingham - can be found there amid jousting tournaments and comedy acts. 书籍和电影中的传奇人物——罗宾汉和邪恶的诺丁汉警长——可以在角逐比赛和喜剧表演中找到。For those into nature, there's always the forest to enjoy.对于那些喜欢大自然的人来说,总有森林可以享受。In mid-August, in Bristol, a city about 200km from London, the sky is filled with colour during its annual balloon fiesta. 8 月中旬,在距伦敦约 200 公里的城市布里斯托尔,一年一度的气球节期间,天空充满了色彩。If the weather is good, more than 100 hot air balloons rise up from the Fiesta's site in Ashton Court.如果天气好的话,100 多个热气球会从位于 Ashton Court 的嘉年华场地升起。Britain is full of traditions and sometimes just stopping at a country pub for a beer or having cream tea in a small tea room can make a moment special. 英国充满了传统,有时只是在乡村酒吧停下来喝杯啤酒或在小茶室喝奶油茶,就可以让时刻变得特别。Just be careful where you end up, though.

Diesmal taucht „Ausgesprochen Kunst“ in die farbenfrohe Welt des englischen Künstlers David Hockney ein, dessen Werke noch bis zum 19. Juni 2022 im Wiener Kunstforum zu sehen sind. Die Retrospektive entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit der Tate Gallery und zeigt neben der wohl bekanntesten Werkgruppe Hockneys - den großformatigen Swimming Pool Bildern - auch Landschaften, Druckgraphiken, Videoinstallationen und seine vielschichtigen Doppelporträts, die es Alexander und Herbert Giese besonders angetan haben. In der Ausstellungsbesprechung widmen sich die beiden auch der Biographie des mittlerweile 84-jährigen Künstlers und verraten, welches seiner Werke sie gerne ankaufen würden.

Join us ‘in conversation' with Bill Woodrow and A Level art students from Woodroffe School, discussing the artist's practice and his disparate, yet harmonious sculpture ‘Endeavour' on display at the entrance of Roche Court Sculpture Park.From afar, Endeavour resembles the black silhouette of a war weapon set against a patchwork quilt of expansive fields. The sculpture faces away from Roche, poised ready to launch explosives over the roaming cows. Its placement at the entrance of the park, next to Peter Randall-Page's ‘Fructus', is largely uncanny and yet, upon closer inspection of Woodrow's work, its placement is rather fitting.More than simply a cannon, Endeavour is a rich tapestry of incongruous iconography. The wheels are composed of splayed open books, chunks of cheese and even a drum. The cannon is in fact a tree trunk and underneath, a wolf or dragon plays an accordion. In 1996, Woodrow said “There isn't one reading to any of the works for myself, so I don't expect it to be so for other people" (in conversation with Keith Patrick, 1996). In other words, Endeavour has multiple meanings: the bond that ties each component together is up to the individual viewer.Woodrow's work is held in numerous public and private collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, USA, and the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands. He has received several honorary distinctions during his career including: representing Britain at the Biennales of Sidney, Paris and Sao Paulo, he was a finalist in the Turner Prize at the Tate Gallery in London in 1986; and a trustee of the Tate Galleries for 5 years. The artist also created 'Regardless of History' for the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2000.
