What a whirlwind few weeks it’s been. Coming at you live from Sneinton Market, it is I, LeftLion’s Editorial Assistant and designated biscuit scoff er, Emily Thursfi eld. How do you do ? Last month, Bridie decided to lay down her keyboard and boggered off on holiday, leaving me, an overdramatic worryguts, in charge of the whole operation. While she was sunning it up in Lisbon and eating her weight in pastel de natas, I was trying my hardest to keep it together and not have a tantrum. Luckily for you, copious amounts of peppermint tea and a few quick pets of the off ice dog kept me sane long enough to produce this rag for your lovely lot. Welcome to LeftLion’s most spine-chilling edition yet; the spooky special, if you will. The cooling down of the country’s climate inspired us to channel our love of eerie autumn festivities, and tap into the undiscovered world of the weird and wonderful for a magazine full of ghosts, haunted histories and a demon pug in Bishop’s clothing. Creepeh. Let’s start with the cover. This pile of cutesie creatures you see before you was dreamed up by Farah Kandaker, illustrator and all-round evil genius. Known for her ability to make even #LookUpDuck the scariest of monsters look endearing, Farah had plenty of fun conjuring up critters to Grim is as grim does. lord over the city for the next month. It’s best you keep an eye on ‘em, mind; they’re unruly photo: Tom Morley boggers, and have a tendency to leap off the cover and go running around the pages, looking for treats. Find out about Farah’s graphic novel, Cat Ghost, on page 26. After a spot of digging, we found out there’s been plenty of paranormal happenings going off at Newstead Abbey, so we stuck on our investigation cap and got right into the building’s gruesome history on page 18. We even managed to track down the White Lady of Newstead for a chat; she’s been fl oating round the place for yonks and has let us in on her story. We’ve also got an exploration of Notts’ secret caves by Joseph Earp, and our City Archaeologist Scott Lomax gives us a heads-up on the developments surrounding the underground kingdom. Continuing with the phantasmal vibes, you can discover your life’s fortune over on page 21 with your very own set of Nottingham tarot cards, and our Literature Editor LP Mills got more than he bargained for when his mate told him about a “spooky door” discovered in an old cinema in Mapperley. Read all about it on page 15. LP’s been a busy beaver this month, as he’s been working hard on the next best thing to hit the airwaves. LeftLion proudly presents to you: History of the Weird Midlands. A few months back, LP and I got chatting over a pint of lime and soda, and he confi ded in me his plans to record a spooktacular podcast to accompany this issue.

It exists both to raise awareness of the reasons why people are forced to seek refuge – persecution, war, famine, abuse, poverty and civil conflict - and also to celebrate th rough exhibitions, library and community workshops, family and children’s projects, music events, public meetings and a film festival, the contributions made by refugees and asylum seekers to the economic, cultural and social life of the city. This country has a long tradition of hosting and offering sanctuary to people displaced from their homes and forced to take flight, and Nottingham, with its diverse and dynamic population, is proud to be associated with this tradition. The Week is designed as an act of solidarity that cuts across the boundaries of place, culture and language by challenging the myths and stereotypes that misrepresent refugees and asylum seekers. The number of refugees and displaced people in the world is increasing again, and the tragic nature of this displacement was brought home by the recent drownings in the Mediterranean. NOTTINGHAM BEYOND BORDERS presents Refugee Week 2015, Nottingham, 13-20 June Saturday, 13 June: Launch event from 1-4pm drop in. The Space, Nottingham Contemporary, Weekday Cross, Nottingham NG1 2GB.

  • Blast Theory Biography Our History
    Blast Theory biography Blast Theory is renowned internationally as one of the most adventurous artists’ groups using interactive media, creating groundbreaking new forms of performance and interactive art that mixes audiences across the internet, live performance and digital broadcasting. Led by Matt Adams, Ju Row Farr and Nick Tandavanitj, the group’s work explores the social and political aspects of technology. Drawing on popular culture and games, the work often blurs the boundaries between the real and the fictional. Blast Theory is based in Brighton, UK. Our history Early works such as Gunmen Kill Three (1991), Chemical Wedding (1994) and Stampede (1994) drew on club culture to create multimedia performances – often in unusual spaces such as film studios and accompanied by bands and DJs – that invited participation. The crime reconstruction installation Invisible Bullets (1994) was first shown at the Fete Worse Than Death in Hoxton. Something American (1996) treated the USA as the Wild West, quoting freely from Hollywood films on a billboard sized projection screen. 1997 was a major step forward: a nine month residency at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin coincided with a proposed performance called Succumbing suddenly shifting to become Kidnap (1998), in which two members of the public were kidnapped as part of a lottery and the resulting event was streamed online. Desert Rain (1999), a large scale installation, performance and game using virtual reality marks the first output of our collaboration with the Mixed Reality Lab at the University of Nottingham. An Explicit Volume (2001) is an interactive installation using page-turners to control nine pornographic books and is part of a sequence of works that use found imagery and/or sexual material such as Choreographic Cops In A Complicated World (2000) and Viewfinder (2001).

Nottingham has a track record of successful heritage-led regeneration, attracting substantial inward investment and channelling it into the city’s open spaces, historic buildings and local communities. The latest and most ambitious project will transform Nottingham Castle, celebrating over 1000 years of history, exploring the city’s well-earned reputation as a place of protest and rebellion and showcasing its prestigious heritage and art collections. Over the next fifteen years Nottingham and its heritage will face We urge all partners to unite behind this common strategy, a number of challenges. The Nottingham Plan sets the direction working together to ensure the city can continue to celebrate and to transform the city into a safer, greener, healthier and more capitalise on its rich heritage to help grow and develop the city prosperous place. Our heritage has a central role to play in for the benefit of many generations to come. delivering these aspirations, helping to raise the standard of living and promote the city as an international cultural destination and place to do business.
