Scholars ask `What if?' What if Schwitters had got a passport to United States and had joined other artists in exile? He would have continued making Merz with American material. He would have had no `need' to paint figuratively.1 Would he have fitted his past into an even more `modernist' mould like his friend Naum Gabo, to please the New Yorkers?2 Surely not. `Emigration is the best school of dialectics' declared Bertold Brecht.3 Schwitters' last period must be investigated not in terms of `exile' but the dialectics of exile: as a future which cuts off a past which lives on through it all the more intensely in memory, repetition, recreation. `Exile' moreover is a purely negative term, foreclosing all the inspirational possibilities of a new `genius loci', a spirit of place: England. The Germany Schwitters knew was disfigured, disintegrating, self-destructing. His longing was for place which was no more. His Merzbau was destroyed by Allied bombing in 1943; Helma died in 1944: `Hanover a heap of ruins, Berlin destroyed, and you're not allowed to say how you feel.'4 The English period was a both a death and a birth, a question of identity through time, of new and old languages.

Newcastle's economy includes corporate headquarters, as well as learning, digital technology, retail, tourism, and cultural centers.

  • University Museums and Outreach: the Newcastle Upon Tyne Case Study
    University museums and outreach: the Newcastle upon Tyne case study LINDSAY ALLASON-JONES Abstract This paper describes developments in attitudes to public access and outreach at the University of Newcastle over the past thirty years, and the impact of those developments on the University’s Museum of Antiquities. The author describes some of the ground-breaking educational initiatives undertaken by the museum, and the plans for its future as part of the Great North Museum. Early days When I first began work at the Museum of Antiquities at Newcastle in 1978 the University was very clear as to the Museum’s role. It was there to assist teaching firstly and secondly to provide a basis for research. The museum was always a curious phenomenon because, although it was run by the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, the collections were mostly owned by the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle upon Tyne. When the joint agreement to establish the Museum was signed in 1956, the Society was very firm that members of the public were to be allowed in for free. The then University of Durham was equally firm that the Keeper of the Museum had to be a longstanding member of the academic body, preferably at the level of Senior Lecturer. When the University of Newcastle upon Tyne was created, and the agreement renegotiated, this was still adhered to. By the time I took over responsibility for the Museum of Antiquities from Dr David Smith in 1989 and later added the Shefton Museum of Greek Art and Archaeology to my portfolio, I had already become very aware that a university museum was in an unenviable position, caught between the demands of the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) on the one hand and the museum world on the other.

  • Moving the Merzbarn. Fred Brookes, 30Th
    Moving the Merzbarn. Fred Brookes, 30th November, 1966 Kurt Schwitters spent his last years in Ambleside and left unfinished, at his death in 1948, his third Merzbau. Since it stood in a barn, it was called the Merzbarn. The barn was the property of the late Mr. Harry Pierce of "Cylinders", Elterwater, who offered the use of the barn to Schwitters to carry out this large work. After Schwitters' death Mr. Pierce looked after the Merzbarn and took care that it should come to no harm, but the extreme dampness of the climate caused a gradual but accelerating decay. So it came about that, in 1962, after considerable negotiation Mr. Pierce offered the Merzbarn to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. In 1965 it was made over by Deed of Gift to the University, on the understanding that it would be removed to a new location, restored and preserved. In May of that year under the direction of Richard Hamilton, three students of the Department (of whom I was one) undertook an extensive survey of the Merzbarn, making countless photographs, drawings, measurements and colour matchings, collecting up fallen fragments of the surface and amassing as much data as possible. This was to ensure that, should the Merzbarn be damaged on its journey, it would be possible to restore it. A scheme of operations for the removal was devised, funds were raised and contracts agreed. In July 1965, the contractors John Laing of Carlisle, and I, as a representative of the Department of Fine Art in the University, moved in to begin operations.

  • 8905 Arches 6
    ARCHES Editorial Welcome to the latest issue of Arches magazine In the past few months Newcastle University has been a beneficiary of two very major awards, both of which have been characterized by the University working as the lead partner in productive partnership with other regional organizations. The award of £9 million in January 2005 to establish two centres for excellence for the study of music and healthcare in the North East, will help the region to build on the international reputation it already boasts in these areas. The government money will be used to train hundreds of future musicians and health professionals using the very latest materials and methods, and by forging stronger links between the region’s universities and organizations like NHS hospitals, primary care trusts and The Sage Gateshead. In the same month, we were delighted to receive news that our application for £8.75 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund in support of our plans to create a Great North Museum on campus had been successful. The Great North Museum will bring together the world-renowned natural history collections and archaeological treasures currently housed in the Hancock Museum and the University’s Museum of Antiquities and Shefton Museum of Greek Art and Archaeology into one flagship venue for the city and region. Under the proposals, the Hatton Gallery will also be integrated into the management structure of this major new venture. The University is leading the £25.75m project, which has the backing of Tyne and Wear Museums, Newcastle City Council, the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle upon Tyne, and the Natural History Society of Northumbria.
