  • GET CARTER by Ted Lewis with a Special Foreword by Mike Hodges, Director of Get Carter (1971)
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Paul Oliver Director of Marketing & Publicity [email protected] (212) 260-1900 SYNDICATE BOOKS GET CARTER By Ted Lewis With a special Foreword by Mike Hodges, director of Get Carter (1971) Syndicate Books • Trade Paper /eBook • PUB DATE: September 9th, 2014 • PRICE: $14.95 • Page Count: 217 ISBN: 9781616955038 • eISBN: 9781616955045 • Agent: Toby Eady "Aristotle, when he defined tragedy, mandated that a tragic hero must fall from a great height, but Aristotle never imagined the kind of roadside motels James M. Cain could conjure up or saw the smokestacks rise in the Northern English industrial hell of Ted Lewis's Get Carter." —Dennis Lehane, author of Live by Night “The finest British crime novel I’ve ever read.” —David Peace, author of Red or Dead Famously adapted into the iconic film starring Michael Caine, Get Carter—originally published as Jack’s Return Home—ranks among the most canonical of crime novels. It’s a rainy night in a northern English mill town, and a London fixer named Jack Carter is home for a funeral—his brother Frank’s. Frank was very drunk when he drove his car off a cliff and that doesn’t sit well with Jack. Mild-mannered Frank never touched the stuff. Jack and Frank didn’t exactly like each other. They hadn’t spoken in years and Jack is far from the sentimental type. So it takes more than a few people by surprise when Jack starts plying his trade to get to the bottom of his brother’s death. Then again, Frank’s last name was Carter, and that’s Jack’s name too.

  • MOVED Pressrelease
    WORKPLACEGALLERY 34 Ellison Street, Gateshead, NE8 1AY, UK www.workplacegallery.co.uk - [email protected] MOVED Catherine Bertola, Cath Campbell, Joe Clark, Paul Merrick, Richard Rigg, Wolfgang Weileder 28th July – 31st August 2007 Thurs - Sat, 12 -5pm (or by appointment) Workplace Gallery are pleased to present MOVED a group exhibition of new and existing works by six gallery artists. This will be the last of a series of exhibitions in 34 Ellison Street Gateshead, beneath Owen Luder’s ‘Get Carter Car Park’. MOVED shows works by artists who each reveal a tendency towards the uncovering and exploration of architectural form, site, and ideology. Catherine Bertola has methodically filled and gilded a crack in the concrete floor of the Gallery. Bertola’s intervention is predictive of the fate of the surrounding building, and significant in its symbolic function as a ‘Seam’ - a stratum of a mineral embedded as a distinct layer or vein in other layers of rock. Bertola’s choice of material – Gold – is rich in meaning, symbolic for wealth and class, as well as alchemy and religion. The base standard for the international monetary union Gold is a material that is irreducible, basic, yet arguably lies at the heart of the motivation and aspiration for many, perhaps all, things. Cath Campbell’s drawings and architectural models take modernism as a point of departure. Her cutout works begin by constructing a complex grid structure on a two-point perspective system within which Campbell builds her drawing before cutting away and removing vast areas of work and labor. Campbell’s architectures are constructed either from memory, imagination, or from an encounter with plans of places that are closed off and inaccessible.

  • Robert Mcnally Auf Wiedersehen
    WORKPLACEGATESHEAD Robert McNally Auf Wiedersehen Preview: Friday 16th June 6pm – 8pm Exhibition continues: 17th June – 29th July Opening hours: Tuesday – Saturday 11am – 5pm Workplace Gateshead is delighted to present Auf Wiedersehen, a solo exhibition of new and existing work by Robert McNally. His first exhibition in his hometown and first UK solo exhibition outside of London. McNally creates complex drawings from memory, mediating thought and emotions into a world far from the language of words. His layered drawings simultaneously echo the cram a universe-into-an-atom type of density found in the paintings by Hieronymus Bosch and the absurd, chaotic and confrontational narratives in the videos and installations of Paul McCarthy. Morphing into layers of unraveling story threads emptying out into fluent, linear, pictorial fictions, constructed meaning becoming truth is at the heart of his work. From mass-media and news channels to the zone where the Dark Arts meet pseudo-science the subjects of McNally's work consist in denial, ignorance, ridiculousness, satire, parable, allegory, hypocrisy, anachronism, relationship with history, ambivalence, and the fine line between faith and understanding, manipulation and gullibility. McNally's incredible technique employs similar ruses, tricking the eye, and confounding the viewer. The works also serve to reinforce the artist's belief in art, as he says: Art has similarities to the mechanics of mysticism, the currency and value being largely subjective, the effect questionable and the interpretation often so utterly broad as to render it almost meaningless. But I am able to live by art's honesty that it is man made and that I don't need a medium to explain it to me.
