Newsletter August 2021 (Pdf) Ipswich Art Society Registered charity no. 219257 Issue 77 www.ipswich-art-society.org.uk July 2021 newsletter From the Chair First of all, we all owe each other fulsome thanks and congratulations for persevering, during a rather barren time, with life in general and for our continuing support of the Art Society. The Committee has been using the time to build our position for the future. We are planning to expand the number and range of activities for when the world emerges blinking into the light. These support a dual purpose. First is to make up in some way for our isolation and celebrate (dare we say?) at least a partial release, and reconnect us as a society. Second, with an eye to the future, we wish to provide every opportunity to attract new members. There are many artists and groups that may not have come across the Society, or that have not connected for some reason. As plans are developing towards our 150th Anniversary in 2024, our thoughts turn to the next 150 years. We are looking at ways to connect the valuable legacy Man Up by Honor Giles of the Society with the future, so that we can continue its growth and AAA Exhibition continue its mission. These events should connect us with a wider public. In addition, you will see in the Newsletter details of several more immediate events - some already in train and others in formation - which should attract different styles of participation. For those in the formative stages, we invite all our membership to add comments and suggestions. We are always open to further help as well. Small and energetic sub-groups of the Committee are generating ideas, developing plans and exploring new venues. Extra input is very welcome at all stages – from suggestions and comment early on, or to help with detailed planning, through to sleeves-up in mounting the events on the day. Please do contact the Committee members who have generously offered their email addresses to take your input. We held the AGM virtually this year, and a special thanks to those who responded to the request to make suggestions for new activities. Two in particular were popular. One was to have a social event of some kind when we are able, perhaps with a theme of interest – a talk or activity – that would attract people, but would include plenty of time to catch up with each other. We are investigating venues and ideas for this – again, comments welcome. The second was to have a larger number of smaller shows. This would enable individuals or small groups to show more of their works than the one or two there is room for in the Open or other exhibitions. This would also create more of a discourse between artists in the Society. Smaller in scale and over shorter runs, they would be much less onerous to put on. As for a venue, we are lucky that our member, Jon Field, is offering space in central Ipswich and a proposal which could help get this ball rolling. Please look at the details below in the piece on Sandbox Studios. We sadly have lost two valued and respected Members this year: Bridget Lapsley and Robert Dickerson. Please see the obituaries by Paul Bruce and Chris Edmondson. Stephen Cassidy Dates for Your Diary Comments and participation are invited for several of the events in planning. Please see the individual articles in the body of the Newsletter for details. 2021 23rd, 24th or 30th September. Ideas development session in a collaboration between Suffolk Records Office and the Art Society. If you are interested in developing ideas towards 2024, please get in contact with preferred dates. See the article below. September: The Anna Airy Award Exhibition will be on-line during September. Make sure to have a look on the Society website mid-month. October: An opportunity to show your work in Sandbox Studios. See the article below for an early exhibiting opportunity. October 28th – November 10th. Works on Paper exhibition, Artspace, Woodbridge. November 25th – December 1st. Small Works exhibition, The Aldeburgh Gallery. 2022 May/June: Ipswich Annual Open Exhibition. This is the date under discussion with the Town Hall as our temporary home for this during repairs at the Museum. May/June: BORDERS exhibition. We hope to run the “Ipswich leg” of the joint Ipswich and Colchester BORDERS exhibition consecutively with the Annual Open. In planning stages: Ipswich Print Fair and Paint Out Suffolk – please see the articles below, and get in touch. 2024 A series of events in development to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Ipswich Art Society. Exhibition opportunity for individuals or groups: Sandbox Studios I am sure we all want to leap at the first opportunity to show some work in a very safe way! Located in central Ipswich at 8a Queen Street (by the Giles “Grandma” sculpture), Sandbox Studios is a recently opened small exhibition complex. Managed by our member, Jon Field, Sandbox aims to work with local artists to develop the profile of contemporary art in Ipswich. To celebrate its opening, Members and Friends are invited to submit two-dimensional work in any medium for an initial group exhibition to be held on site in October. Working with documentary film maker El Mourmane, exhibitors will also be invited (should they wish) to make a short video interview about their work. These will be included with images on the Sandbox website and linked to the IAS website, to help promote visibility and sales. The number of works invited, dimensions, etc, will depend on the size of the response. Please get in contact with Jon to let him know your interest: jonfi[email protected] Anna Airy Award Exhibition As the University of Suffolk is dealing with a backlog of events and unable to confirm dates for this year’s AAA Exhibition, we’ve decided to follow last year’s format and have the exhibition online. Schools have been invited to choose their Star Student of 2021 for an Anna Airy Award. The continuing generous sponsorship from The Arts Society: South East Suffolk has been added to this year by the generosity of The Arts Society: Woodbridge. This means we will also be able to offer an award for the Runners Up. The Schools will now submit an image of their award winners’ work The Colours of Nature by Jessica Parker for the online exhibition. We’re delighted that despite all the upheavals over the past year, 11 schools are participating. All welcome this as a unique opportunity to give their students a chance to have their achievements recognised at a time when their usual end of year exhibitions have been restricted. The exhibition will be online during September, so do look at the Art Society website, and possibly comment on this excellent exhibition. Jan Watson Works on Paper Picking up our occasional series of focussed exhibitions, we are planning an exhibition with the theme “works on paper”. This therefore includes drawings, prints, pastels and watercolours etc and will have a size restriction in order to maximise the number we can hang. It will be held at Artspace, Woodbridge, 28th October to 10th November. Invitations and submission papers to be sent out nearer the time. Small Works This special show of small works will include paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings and will provide a great opportunity to buy original artwork. The size of works should fall within a 34cm square (including frame), or within that footprint for sculptures. It will be held at the Aldeburgh Gallery, 25th November to 1st December. Invitations and submission papers to be sent out nearer the time. Ipswich Print Fair The Committee has been discussing the possibility of setting up an annual Ipswich Print Fair (we already own the domain name in readiness!) You may know about Ipswich Print Week, organised by Tower Street Print Studio, that took place recently, in fact some of our members took part, exhibiting their work at the Whistler Gallery. Our event will be slightly different and later in the year so as not to compete, but we see the events as being able to support and promote each other, raising the awareness of printmaking in all its forms and providing more opportunities for local printmakers to exhibit their work. If you have any comments or suggestions please get in touch, equally if you are interested in being involved as part of the event organisation we’d love to hear from you! To find out more, express interest or comment, please contact Ruth Day on email: [email protected] or Tel: 07710189976. Paint Out Suffolk Paint Out events have been established in Norfolk for a number of years and even ventured to Sudbury in 2018! (See www.paintout.org for more information about them.) With a view to providing a greater variety of opportunities to our members, we are investigating the possibility of hosting a collaborative annual Paint Out event in Suffolk. Artists of various mediums welcome, all you need is a sense of adventure to potentially discover new sights around our wonderful local area and spend a few hours depicting them for the viewing Artist Kate Gabriel painting Winterton pleasure of exhibition visitors later the same day. Again, if you allotments, Paint Out Norfolk 2020 have any comments or questions please get in touch, equally if you are interested in being involved as part of the event organisation team we’d love to hear from you! To find out more, express interest or comment, please contact Tammany Hunt on email: [email protected] Ipswich Annual Open and BORDERS exhibitions A whole sequence of dates for these had been agreed with the Town Hall, and then cancelled for obvious and of course entirely understandable reasons.

  • The Last Epidemic of Plague in England? Suffolk 1906-1918
    THE LAST EPIDEMIC OF PLAGUE IN ENGLAND? SUFFOLK 1906-1918 by DAVID VAN ZWANENBERG APART from a single case of plague contracted in a laboratory at Porton in 1962 the last English outbreak of plague occurred in Suffolk. There were several official reports published soon after and there have been a number of short accounts based on these reports. This account of the epidemic was compiled with the aid of contemporary sources such as newspapers, letters, minutes of committees and coroner's depositions, together with information from one of the survivors, from several near relatives of the victims, as well as from official reports. In particular the author was fortunate in discovering a collection of letters, telegrams and other documents belonging to the late Dr. H. P. Sleigh, who was Medical Officer of Health of the Rural District of Samford at the time. THE DIAGNOSIS OF PLAGUE Five miles south of Ipswich, about halfway between the villages of Freston and Holbrook lies a small group of cottages called Latimer Cottages (see Map and Photograph). At the time that plague was first diagnosed this building was divided into three homes. In the middle cottage lived a farmworker, Mr. Chapman, his wife and four of his wife's children of a former marriage. On Tuesday, 13 September 1910, the third of these children, Annie Goodall, aged nine, was taken ill. She had not been away from home since 4 September. Following a bout of vomiting she ran a high temperature. She was seen by Dr. Carey on the following day when her temperature was 105°F, but apart from her general toxaemia he could detect no physical signs.

  • Suffolk's Year of Walking Update
    Suffolk’s Year of Walking Update April 2016 With just over a month until Suffolk’s Year of Walking kicks off, the final plans and preparations are now being put into place. Suffolk’s Year of Walking is a campaign celebrating walking in Suffolk. It provides a platform that will promote walking events and activities, as well as provide inspiration and opportunities for people to walk more often. The Year of Walking will highlight everything from recreational Nordic and long distance walking to the more everyday walking to work and school. Suffolk’s Year of Walking calendar currently has over 300 events scheduled between May 2016 and May 2017. Walking events include everything from wildlife walks and dog walks, to ghost walks and 26 mile ‘Challenge Walks’. There is something for all ages and all abilities! Also, this summer will see wild pigs spring up in and around Ipswich town centre and waterfront as part of the Pigs Gone Wild trail (www.pigsgonewild.co.uk). The interactive sculpture trail will feature more than 40 pigs that have been individually decorated by artists…make sure you don’t miss our Year of Walking pig! Suffolk’s Year of Walking are pleased to present Archant, publishers of the East Anglian Daily Times, Ipswich Star and others, as a media partner. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their support. A dedicated Year of Walking website (www.suffolkyearofwalking.co.uk) is currently being developed and will be live in the coming weeks. The website will contain up-to-date information about walking events taking place in Suffolk as well as national health campaigns associated with walking and physical activity.

  • Newsletter Jan 2019
    Ipswich Art Society Registered charity no. 219257 Issue 73 www.ipswich-art-society.org.uk January 2019 newsletter It is sad to relate that we have lost two much loved and respected long standing members of the Society during this last year: Edwin Barritt and Anne Paterson Wallace. You will see this reflected in the affectionate Obituaries. The Winter Talk Series is moving to the Spring and we are experimenting with moving them to the afternoon rather than the evening. Some of the talks last year were more scantily attended than in the past and the committee conjectured that this may be to do with having to venture out on dark winter evenings. So, as a trial this year we are moving later in the year - to what we hope will be more clement weather - and to the afternoon, to see if that might widen the appeal to our membership and the public. We are just holding two this year to see how the experiment works and we have two excellent speakers. See Spring Talks for details. The 2018 Annual Open Exhibition at the Ipswich Art Gallery was a great success as ever. As reported in the last Newsletter we had a larger than ever volume of submissions, which is excellent news. Anticipating a similar response this year we will be making a couple of adjustments. The first is the selection process, which will be amended to help include more works and reduce the number of disappointments. The second concerns the the framing and fixings. We will not be able to handle the volume of works if such a large proportion of works continue to have the wrong fixings.

    Written evidence submitted by News Media Association News Media Association response to the DCMS Select Committee Call for Evidence Inquiry on the impact of Covid-19 on DCMS Sectors [28 April 2020] The News Media Association represents national, regional and local news publishers. It members publish some 1000 titles throughout the United Kingdom. These include national titles, such as The Times, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, The Mirror and The Sun and regional and local titles such as the Yorkshire Post, the Monmouthshire Beacon, The Stratford Herald , the East Anglian Daily Times and the Kent Messenger. They reach an audience of some 48 million adult readers each month, in print and online, but this is being driven ever upwards with the public demand for verified accurate information and trusted journalism as a result of the Covid-19 crisis, The NMA and its members have welcomed the Government's acknowledgment of the newspaper industry as the 'fourth emergency service' and appreciate the strong messages of support for regional and local newspapers in particular which have been expressed by many Members of Parliament. The NMA has briefed the Government on the drastic impact of Covid-19 pandemic and consequent measures upon the sector. It has outlined further action necessary to provide the crucial short term support necessary to sustain titles through the initial crisis. Currently, two measures would provide both immediate relief and ongoing help -the extension of 100% business rates relief available to retail, leisure and hospitality to newspaper publishers, especially local publishers, since news suppliers cannot simply 'mothball' their businesses; and the bringing forward and backdating VAT zero rating for e- newspapers, including news websites, to 1 January 2020 instead of 1 December 2020.

  • Dyeing Sutton Hoo Nordic Blonde: an Interpretation of Swedish Influences on the East Anglian Gravesite
    DYEING SUTTON HOO NORDIC BLONDE: AN INTERPRETATION OF SWEDISH INFLUENCES ON THE EAST ANGLIAN GRAVESITE Casandra Vasu A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2008 Committee: Andrew Hershberger, Advisor Charles E. Kanwischer © 2008 Casandra Vasu All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Hershberger, Advisor Nearly seventy years have passed since the series of tumuli surrounding Edith Pretty’s estate at Sutton Hoo in Eastern Suffolk, England were first excavated, and the site, particularly the magnificent ship-burial and its associated pieces located in Mound 1, remains enigmatic to archaeologists and historians. Dated to approximately the early seventh century, the Sutton Hoo entombment retains its importance by illuminating a period of English history that straddles both myth and historical documentation. The burial also exists in a multicultural context, an era when Scandinavian influences factored heavily upon society in the British Isles, predominantly in the areas of art, religion and literature. Literary works such as the Old English epic of Beowulf, a tale of a Geatish hero and his Danish and Swedish counterparts, offer insight into the cultural background of the custom of ship-burial and the various accoutrements of Norse warrior society. Beowulf may hold an even more specific affinity with Sutton Hoo, in that a character from the tale, Weohstan, is considered to be an ancestor of the man commemorated in the ship- burial in Mound 1. Weohstan, whose allegiance lay with the Geats, was nonetheless a member of the Wægmunding clan, distant relations to the Swedish Scylfing dynasty.
