  • SIGNAL 8 SUMMER SHOW 2010 the Cat Street Gallery Signal 8 Summer Show
    SIGNAL 8 SUMMER SHOW 2010 The Cat Street Gallery Signal 8 Summer Show Signal 8, The Cat Street Gallery’s annual summer salon show, will feature the curator’s choice of international contemporary artists and includes an array of paintings, drawings, photography, sculptures and new media works. The gallery’s core artists will be complimented by new faces, acting both a retrospective and a preview of new artists to come. Opening reception: Wednesday 4th August 6-9pm Show Dates: Thursday 5th August - Saturday 4th September Giles Alexander Based in Australia, the British artist Giles Alexander blurs the boundaries between realism and abstraction in his paintings. An ardent researcher, his work displays an enduring interest in the themes of memory and history. His paintings include images from personal documentary, as well as historically significant and insignificant ‘found’ images, therefore juxtaposing personal and second hand experience and confusing the banal, important and sublime. His work is many ways a response to the modern condition of existing in a world which proliferates with vast and rapidly disseminated images. Alexander’s paintings often use images of historical significance to draw parallels with and critically reflect on contemporary issues and their representation in the media. Some of his paintings rework seminal history paintings using contemporary people and symbols. In other paintings, images or sometimes formal abstractions are juxtaposed in surprising ways with architecture. This dialogue concerning the status of the image is also central to the materiality of the work. Philosophy aside, the artist displays an academic touch which he can manipulate at will, which reveals his commitment to investigate the possibilities of painting.

It shimmers like an art display in its own right, facing in towards Foreword the glass central courtyard in Renzo Piano’s wonderful 2014 extension to the Harvard Art Museums. The collection seems, somehow, suspended within the sky. From the public galleries it is tantalising, almost intoxicating, to see the glass-fronted cases full of their bright bottles up there in the administra- tive area of the museum. The shelves are arranged mostly by hue; the blues are graded in ombre effect from deepest midnight to the fading in- digo of favourite jeans, with startling, pleasing juxtapositions of turquoise (flasks of lightest green malachite; summer sky-coloured copper carbon- ate and swimming pool verdigris) next to navy, next to something that was once blue and is now simply, chalk. A few feet along, the bright alizarin crimsons slake to brownish brazil wood upon one side, and blush to madder pink the other. This curious chromatic ordering makes the whole collection look like an installation exploring the very nature of painting.

  • ATH 2011 Solution
    MOST SECRET ULTRA ATH EYES ONLY ATH 2011-12 solution Treasure location and themes The treasure was hidden in Shenley Wood [LOC1]1, on the outskirts of Milton Keynes. This is not far from Bletchley Park [LOC2], which during World War 2 was a secret establishment dedicated to the decryption of intercepted enemy communications. Its most famous achievement – which did not become public knowledge until the late 1970s and early 1980s - was the breaking of the method of encryption of Germany‘s Enigma cipher machine, which is reckoned to have shortened the war by a year or two and to have saved thousands of lives. One of the key figures in this work was the mathematical genius and computer pioneer Alan Turing. During his time at Bletchley Park, Turing stayed at the Crown Inn [LOC3] in Shenley Brook End. It is known that at some time during the war, he bought a couple of silver bars as a hedge against the possible collapse of the banks, and hid them in a wood near his digs. He returned to the wood a number of times during and after the war with the aim of retrieving the silver bars, but was unable to remember where he had hidden them. They essentially became lost treasure. There is no record of which wood he hid the bars in, so I chose Shenley Wood since it is close to where Turing stayed. The ATH thus had multiple themes, in tribute to Turing: - ―lost treasure‖ [LOC4], as represented by the centre puzzle on each page, and by Turing‟s silver bars [LOC5] - code-breaking [LOC6] or decryption or decipherment – I wasn‘t pedantic about the difference, but did expect you to realise that the theme was codebreaking, not just codes or ciphers in general.
