  • Glass Onion Tapestry
    June 2014 Press Release Dovecot Studios and Magne Furuholmen collaborate to create Glass Onion tapestry Following an introduction from Paul Stolper, Dovecot Studios are delighted to be working with Norwegian artist Magne Furuholmen on an exciting new collaboration in tapestry. Dovecot invited Furuholmen to the Studios in early 2013 to consider a tapestry project and following a series of conversations with Dovecot’s weaving team, he returned to the studios in late April 2014 with a selection of design ideas derived from a series of ten large format woodcut prints collectively known as Norwegian Wood. Furuholmen has created a new print titled Glass Onion, specifically as a design for the tapestry, using music as its main reference point. Dovecot are particularly thrilled by this project as Furuholmen’s holistic approach to his practice as an artist - continually assessing his modus operandi and experimenting with various media – will ensure that his involvement in the creation of Glass Onion will be rewarding for all those who are involved in the process. The Glass Onion tapestry will be woven at Dovecot under the supervision of Master Weaver Naomi Robertson. This process will begin in June 2014 and continue throughout the Edinburgh Art Festival to be completed before embarking on a tour in late September. Three of Furuholmen’s Glass Onion woodblock prints will be displayed as part of Dovecot’s summer exhibition Current Exchanges: Dovecot and the Australian Tapestry Workshop, and viewers will be able to watch the weavers work on the tapestry from the Balcony. A major exhibition of Magne Furuholmen’s work is scheduled at Dovecot for early 2015.

  • The Fraternity
    0 This account of manoeuvring around the subject of Rights of Way might, on the face of it, appear to be much to do about nothing. That would be to ignore the alarming levels of activism directed against homeowners undeserving of militant attention. This Report reveals unacceptable levels of insidious abuse of office. What we are saying is that this unchallenged malfeasance has run its full distance: the time has arrived to say ‘enough’, to organise to defend positions and demand a Policy Review. Why, within the bureaucracy, has truth been treated as an option? It is because the pretence of accountability is a sham. The Planning Inspectorate’s Quality Assurance Department is a misnomer: there is neither quality nor assurance. The absence of effective enquiry, of curiosity, is almost total. It is axiomatic that a complaints system must be independent, not left in the hands of the colleagues of the subject of the complaint. The strategic Department of Special Casework has no apparent comprehension or understanding of the meaning of impartiality. Its entire raison d’être appears committed to the protection of reputations and home-team interests. One positive result to arise from this Report is its potential for raising the Judiciary’s awareness that evidence is being put before them upon which they could not and should not rely. The Inspectorate is fully aware that the Judiciary will take the view that their Inspectors are entitled to come to the conclusions that they do, even when it is evident they are acting as interested parties. There is also evidence that the Authority is employing tools such as the filibuster and high legal costs to see off the unwelcome opposition of ordinary citizens.

    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 23.02.2016 Travis spielen im Mai zwei Konzerte in Deutschland „Wir sind sehr merkwürdig“, sagt Fran Healy, der Frontmann von Travis, „alle Menschen ändern sich, nur wir nicht. Wir sind noch genauso, wie wir mit 18 Jahren waren, und wir hängen immer noch mit den gleichen Leuten ab wie mit 18. Und schon damals dachten wir, wenn wir im gleichen Raum waren: Ah, das fühlt sich richtig gut an.“ Schon seltsam, einen Mittvierziger rund 25 Jahre nach Gründung einer der erfolgreichsten britischen Bands so reden zu hören. Aber er hat recht: Travis sind eigentümlich und zeitlos und waren immer anders als andere Bands. Gegründet in Glasgow, gehörten sie nie zur schottischen Szene. Zu ihrer Zeit in London rutschten sie immer genau am Britpop vorbei. Travis ist die Geschichte der langen und einzigartigen Freundschaft von Sänger Healy, Gitarrist Andy Dunlop, Bassist Dougie Payne und Schlagzeuger Neil Primrose. 25 Jahre ohne Änderung des Line-ups: Nicht viele Bands können das von sich behaupten. Musikalisch zusammengehalten hat diese vier Männer immer die Melodie: „Damit beginnt jedes Stück, und damit endet es, wenn jemand vor dem Radio sitzt und mitsingt.“ Travis ist die Band, auf die sich alle einigen konnten, die bis heute alle lieben. Man kann die Haltung der Freunde untereinander am Video (mit Daniel Brühl!) zur neuen Single „Everything At Once“ sehen. Bei einem Extremsportunglück verschwindet Healy in einem See und taucht im Rollstuhl wieder auf – was besonders selbstironisch ist, da wiederum Primrose selbst einmal auf Tour in Frankreich bei einem Badeunfall nur knapp an der Querschnittslähmung vorbeigeschrammt ist.

  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 04.09.2013 Travis Bestätigen Clubshows In
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 04.09.2013 Travis bestätigen Clubshows in Deutschland Travis waren in den vergangenen Monaten ziemlich viel unterwegs, um sich für ihr neues Album inspirieren zu lassen, Songs aufzunehmen und zu produzieren. Die Reisen führten die Band von London über New York und Berlin bis hin ins ländliche Norwegen, und vor allem führte sie die Mitglieder wieder zusammen. Vor fünf Jahren, als die Tour zur letzten Platte beendet war und sich das Quartett am Flughafen von einander verabschiedete, war allen unausgesprochen klar, dass jetzt eine längere Pause dringend nötig war. Das Leben als Star ist zwar schön, zehrt aber auch am eigenen. Oder wie Sänger Fran Healy scherzhaft sagt: „Irgendwann hat man genug davon, morgens aufzuwachen und immer die Socken Deines Kumpels zu riechen.“ So widmeten sich Healy, Gitarrist Andy Dunlop, Bassist Dougie Payne und Schlagzeuger Neil Primrose ihren Soloprojekten oder einfach nur ihren Familien. Aber eine Band wie Travis, die millionenfach Platten verkauft hat und mit ihren Platinalben wahrscheinlich ein mittelgroßes Cottage in Schottland tapezieren könnte, verschwindet nicht einfach. Denn die musikalische Kreativität der Jungs, „ohne die es Coldplay nie gegeben hätte“, wie Chris Martin einmal bekannte, lässt sich nicht von heute auf morgen abstellen. Und so trafen sich die vier und nahmen „Where You Stand“ auf, das siebte Studioalbum, das Mitte August auf den Markt gekommen ist. Die Platte entstand quasi auf Reisen: Von den ersten Songideen, die bei einer Session in London entwickelt wurden, bis hin zur finalen Produktion in den Hansa- Studios, wo schon Bowie seine Berlin-Trilogie aufgenommen hat.
