  • The 007Th Minute Ebook Edition
    “What a load of crap. Next time, mate, keep your drug tripping private.” JACQUES A person on Facebook. STEWART “What utter drivel” Another person on Facebook. “I may be in the minority here, but I find these editorial pieces to be completely unreadable garbage.” Guess where that one came from. “No, you’re not. Honestly, I think of this the same Bond thinks of his obituary by M.” Chap above’s made a chum. This might be what Facebook is for. That’s rather lovely. Isn’t the internet super? “I don’t get it either and I don’t have the guts to say it because I fear their rhetoric or they’d might just ignore me. After reading one of these I feel like I’ve walked in on a Specter round table meeting of which I do not belong. I suppose I’m less a Bond fan because I haven’t read all the novels. I just figured these were for the fans who’ve read all the novels including the continuation ones, fan’s of literary Bond instead of the films. They leave me wondering if I can even read or if I even have a grasp of the language itself.” No comment. This ebook is not for sale but only available as a free download at Commanderbond.net.

  • Tideway's Public Art Strategy
    PUBLIC ART STRATEGY ART ON THE TIDEWAY: TURNING TO FACE THE RIVER Contemporary Culture Liquid History | 1 Foreword In the mid-nineteenth century my great great grandfather, Joseph Bazalgette, devised London’s sewage and waste water system to tackle the cholera that was carried by a grossly polluted Thames. We affectionately call him ‘The Drain Brain’. His system’s success means it only now needs updating, 150 years on, when the city is four times the size. The need today may seem less obvious but without it our metropolis can’t continue to function as a safe, growing place to live and work. The Thames Tideway Tunnel is a grand, ambitious project. It will create new public amenities along the river. Challenging artists to bring all this to life celebrates the project while sharpening our sense of place. Just as the art, architecture and design of the Victorian Embankments and pumping stations expressed the spirit of that age. I am delighted that Tideway has launched a Public Art Strategy and Art Programme. The strong link between the Public Art and the Heritage Interpretation Strategies fuses the power of heritage and contemporary art. The artists will have rich themes to build on: the River Thames’s ecology, shared public space, our personal and community identities as well as a nod to the city’s changing fabric. Even during construction, hoardings created by artists and school children will challenge and delight. I’m a fervent believer in the power of arts and culture to improve our quality of life. This is what will happen here, both above and below ground.

  • Agency, Embodiment and Performance in Daniel Craig's
    1 The New Brutalism: Agency, Embodiment and Performance in Daniel Craig’s 007 Sarah Thomas [Journal of Popular Film and Television, special edition of Daniel Craig’s era as James Bond. Article in press] Breaking ground on the long lead-in promotion for Spectre (Mendes 2015), the October 2015 issue of Esquire magazine asked cover star Daniel Craig to reflect on a decade as 007, where “he redefined the once cartoonish secret agent as a symbol of masculinity for the modern age” (Bilmes “Once More With Feeling” 164). The feature constructs Craig’s Bond in a way that deviates from established interpretations of the star-character with a distinct focus on Daniel Craig himself, here defined as much away from Bond as through him. In describing how Craig’s desire for “beer and fags” stems from the actor having to knuckle down and perform promotional duties (ibid), author Alex Bilmes uses a blunt language which mimics Craig’s own brusque reworking of Bond into what has been widely acknowledged as a more brutish and crude character. Craig’s interpretation matches Ian Fleming’s original description of Bond as a “blunt instrument” and the phrase is present in Craig’s first Bond film Casino Royale (Campbell 2006), used by Judy Dench’s M to describe the agent. Bilmes’ style also departs from conventional rhetoric that constructs an actor’s identity through their characters and emphasises how naturally they embody their roles, as seen in an earlier interview between the two, “[I] sat down 2 with James Bond for an afternoon pint” (Bilmes “Skyfall: the Daniel Craig Interview” online).
