U3A Art Appreciation Network U3A Art Appreciation Network Autumn Trees Corstophine Hill Edinburgh Subject Adviser: Margaret Tomlinson 15 Clifton Court, Old Street, Ludlow SY8 1TZ John Love Senior 1998 email [email protected] tel 01584 873260 Autumn 2017 Newsletter no 32 Apologies for missing the Spring Newsletter, but I have had some health problems. Here we are almost in Autumn again – unbelievable! I really like this season, and the picture above shows the lengthening shadows admirably. Margaret U3A members will be glad to hear that the Turner Prize is no longer the preserve of the Young British Artist: everyone on the 2017 shortlist was aged over 40 - and the oldest aged 62. The rules of the competition were changed this year to remove the upper age limit of 50. Lubaina Himid is the oldest person to be nominated for the prize. Himid, from Preston, is professor of contemporary art at the University of Central Lancashire, and her works celebrate black creativity. She was born in 1954 in Zanzibar, Tanzania. She is Professor of Contemporary Art at the University of Central Lancashire. Recent solo exhibitions include Navigation Charts, Spike Island, Bristol, UK They include life-size cut-outs illustrating and satirizing colonial power. Himid makes paintings, prints, drawings and installations which celebrate Black creativity and the people of the African diaspora while challenging institutional invisibility.She references the slave industry and its legacies, and addresses the hidden and neglected cultural contribution made by real but forgotten people. In Naming the Money 2014, 100 cut-out life size figures depict Black servants and labourers whom Himid individualises, giving each of them a name and story to work against the sense of the powerless mass. She often takes her paintings off the gallery wall so that her images become objects that surround the viewer. Naming the Money 2014 Spring – March Summer – June Autumn – September Winter - December War and Pieces at Berrington Hall This is the only artwork I’ve been able to visit so far this year and I found it very thought provoking. Berrington's past is strongly connected with Admiral Rodney's 1782 naval battles. Rodney was a major influence in The Battle of Saintes in 1782 and it is this campaign that is depicted through a series of paintings by Thomas Luny (1750-1837) in the dining room. Bouke de Vries has brought his Arts Council’s award winning installation War and Pieces to Berrington and he has woven a twist into it which incorporates this part of Berrington's past. He has used a symbol of a ship, which originates from one of Berrington's porcelain bowls, and printed the design onto each of the sculpture's plates. Bouke de Vries installing War and Pieces at Berrington Hall Vries has drawn inspiration from the eighteenth century tradition of war banquets, given on the eve of battle. He has combined this part of history with the seventeenth century tradition of creating spectacular sugar sculptures that were designed to impress the guests of stately homes. War and Pieces has incorporated both of these traditions into its final design. The artwork shows deconstructed porcelain figures engaged in a deadly struggle with a giant mushroom cloud composed of skulls, presided over by figures of the crucified Christ and Guanyins, the Chinese goddess of compassion. Materials used are broken antique porcelain and glassware, parts of children’s plastic toys and sugar, bringing together the notions of modern warfare and art with those of the 18th and 19th centuries and making us reconsider our perceptions of beauty and the usefulness of broken objects. “Create to destroy, destroy to create.” Bouke de Vries Berrington Hall HR6 0DW is a National Trust property. War and Pieces is included in the admission.

    English Ceramic Circle Newsletter No 7 September 2019 _________________________________________________ President’s Preamble Welcome to ECC Newsletter No. 7. The dates for our meetings in 2019 and 2020 are listed below. Some of the information is necessarily provisional or has had to be changed since the last Newsletter so please do check this list before setting out to attend a meeting. The ECC visit to Sherborne Castle and Gardens on 22 May 2019 was a great success. Members enjoyed seeing the castle (built by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1594) and reflects a variety of decorative styles in its rich interiors and important collections of porcelain, art, and furniture. Sherborne’s porcelain collection is celebrated for its Kakiemon with Chinese, Meissen, Chantilly and English ceramics plus rare Chelsea vases, Chelsea/Derby pieces, an armorial Chamberlains’ Worcester service, a Minton desert service and Bow and Isleworth items. Following a talk by an Archivist, we were given a tour through the castle when the ropes preventing close-up viewing of the ceramic cabinets were removed. We also had a special viewing of the pieces in store. You should by now have received the latest Transactions plus two additional volumes containing the papers given at two ECC seminars: Influences and inspiration – 400 years of Japanese porcelain and Neoclassical ceramics. If you have not received these three volumes, please email Patricia Macleod, ECC membership secretary or contact her via the ECC postal address on page 9. The publication of these extra volumes is possible due to some generous donations for which we are always very grateful.
