Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND The Beatles’ most famous album has only grown in stature over the last 50 years and marks the moment in musical history where pop was afforded equal rights with high art. Steve Harnell doffs his cap 30 gt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band occupies a singular place in the Beatles canon – it’s both their most important album Sand their most misunderstood. In terms of its significance, there can be no more game-changing long-player in the history of recorded music than the band’s 1967 opus. It marked the moment where pop music broke the cultural glass ceiling and could be considered high art. However, its reputation as rock’s finest ‘concept’ album has always been a misnomer. Under examination, the Sgt. Pepper ‘fake band’ conceit unravels after its second song and only makes a cursory reappearance on the penultimate track. So much for joined-up thinking, then. Like Revolver, the diversity of musical styles and tonalities – from Lennon’s acerbic bitterness and psychedelic imagination to McCartney’s whimsy and Harrison’s American pop artist Jann Haworth with two of her soft sculptures: the ‘Old Lady’ figure on the mysticism – is really what lies at the right features on the cover of Sgt. Pepper, heart of Sgt. Pepper’s long-term appeal. co-designed by her and her husband Peter Blake Tony Evans/Getty Images Evans/Getty Tony It’s also George Martin’s finest achievement as a producer. The genesis of Sgt.

    Abstracts for the Annual SECAC Meeting in Columbus, Ohio October 25th-28th, 2017 Conference Chair, Aaron Petten, Columbus College of Art & Design Emma Abercrombie, SCAD Savannah The Millennial and the Millennial Female: Amalia Ulman and ORLAN This paper focuses on Amalia Ulman’s digital performance Excellences and Perfections and places it within the theoretical framework of ORLAN’s surgical performance series The Reincarnation of Saint Orlan. Ulman’s performance occurred over a twenty-one week period on the artist’s Instagram page. She posted a total of 184 photographs over twenty-one weeks. When viewed in their entirety and in relation to one another, the photographs reveal a narrative that can be separated into three distinct episodes in which Ulman performs three different female Instagram archetypes through the use of selfies and common Instagram image tropes. This paper pushes beyond the casual connection that has been suggested, but not explored, by art historians between the two artists and takes the comparison to task. Issues of postmodern identity are explored as they relate to the Internet culture of the 1990s when ORLAN began her surgery series and within the digital landscape of the Web 2.0 age that Ulman works in, where Instagram is the site of her performance and the selfie is a medium of choice. Abercrombie situates Ulman’s “image-body” performance within the critical framework of feminist performance practice, using the postmodern performance of ORLAN as a point of departure. J. Bradley Adams, Berry College Controlled Nature Focused on gardens, Adams’s work takes a range of forms and operates on different scales.

  • Tag Fine Arts Presents
    TAG FINE ARTS PRESENTS Peter Dean’s inspired re-creation of the circus poster behind one of the Beatles’ most memorable songs. Sergeant Pepper. Side One. Track Seven. Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite “And of course, Henry the Horse dances the waltz...” On an album of psychedelia and surreality, Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite still manages to stand out. Initially banned by the BBC for what it perceived as drug references, in fact much of the song’s ornate language was taken directly from a circus poster John Lennon had bought in an antique shop in 1967. Pablo Fanque’s Circus Royal promised dancing horses and legendary contortionists which appealed to Lennon’s sense of the ridiculous. “I had all the words staring me in the face one day when I was looking for a song,” he said. “I hardly made up a word.” Peter Dean, a London designer and lifelong Beatles fan, has painstakingly recreated this poster, using the traditional printing methods used to create the original poster in 1843. He explains, “I’ always longed to own a copy of the Mr. Kite poster, but as a designer, I couldn’t accept the poor imitations that were available. So I decided to do it properly.” Dean called on renowned wood-engraving artist Andy English to recreate the two circus characters on the poster, while Graham Bignell, who runs New North Press in Shoreditch, London, matched the Victorian metal and wooden typefaces on the original using his extensive collection of Victorian type. Dean says, “I feel privileged to have worked with Andy and Graham.

  • What Is Circus Today? Explorations Through 250 Years of British Circus by Professor Vanessa Toulmin in the Beginning
    What is Circus Today? Explorations through 250 Years of British Circus by Professor Vanessa Toulmin In the Beginning In 1768 a uniquely British invention created from entertainment popular in late Georgian London was born. The innovator was Philip Astley who with his wife Patty, a gifted equestrienne, and his horse Gibraltar, gave riding displays at Glover’s ‘Halfpenny Hatch’ between Neptune and Angel Streets in April 1768. On this site Mr and Mrs Astley developed scenes of horsemanship and later incorporated older forms of entertainment such as acrobatics, performers from the street and clowns to draw the crowds. It was this combination of speciality skills that developed into the circus entertainment we recognise today.1 As we celebrate 250 years from when modern circus combination of performance genres within a ring was created, the narratives and histories that are of a set diameter quickly became global and being revealed, especially in the United Kingdom, by the early nineteenth century circus could be demonstrate the complex and global history of the found in thirteen different countries including the genre that is circus; an evolving language of visual United States in 1793, Canada in 1797, Mexico in and physical performance.2 The Astleys settled at 1802, Russia in 1816. Within the European and Westminster Bridge Road where initially they used an North American traditions evolutions in popular open-air circular arena, then built a partially covered entertainment from the music hall to the menagerie ‘amphitheatre’ styled ‘Astley’s British Riding School‘ tradition of previous centuries played a key part which opened in 1770.

This course will examine the musical craftsmanship of the Beatles, focusing on their work as songwriters and record makers. Recent audio and print releases documenting the group's performing and recording history provide a unique and detailed glimpse of the Beatles' creative process. We will utilize these materials to closely trace the development of the group's work while using other resources to place it in a larger historical and cultural context. The goal is to shed critical light on this recent chapter in cultural history. That discussion will, in turn, highlight questions about creativity in a modern context where commerce vies with art, technology redefines performance and an emerging global village culture transforms concepts of originality and tradition. Learning Outcomes After completing this course, you will be able to: • The course focus on songcraft and record making as art forms as well as various approaches to interpreting these forms. • The course focus on such artworks in relation to 60s-era trends in spirituality and philosophy.
