  • The Tyro a Review of the Arts of Painting Sculptore and Design
    THE TYRO A REVIEW OF THE ARTS OF PAINTING SCULPTORE AND DESIGN. EDITED BY WYNDHAM LEWIS. TO BE PRODUCED AT INTERVALS OF TWO OR THREE MONTHS. Publishers : THE EGOIST PRESS, 2, ROBERT STREET, ADELPH1. PUBLISHED AT 1s. 6d, Subscription for 4 numbers, 6s. 6d, with postage. Printed by Bradley & Son, Ltd., Little Crown Yard, Mill Lane, Reading. NOTE ON TYROS. We present to you in this number the pictures of several very powerful Tyros.* These immense novices brandish their appetites in their faces, lay bare their teeth in a valedictory, inviting, or merely substantial laugh. A. laugh, like a sneeze, exposes the nature of the individual with an unexpectedness that is perhaps a little unreal. This sunny commotion in the face, at the gate of the organism, brings to the surface all the burrowing and interior broods which the individual may harbour. Understanding this so well, people hatch all their villainies in this seductive glow. Some of these Tyros are trying to furnish you with a moment of almost Mediterranean sultriness, in order, in this region of engaging warmth, to obtain some advantage over you. But most of them are, by the skill of the artist, seen basking themselves in the sunshine of their own abominable nature. These partly religious explosions of laughing Elementals are at once satires, pictures, and stories The action of a Tyro is necessarily very restricted; about that of a puppet worked with deft fingers, with a screaming voice underneath. There is none" of the pathos of Pagliacci in the story of the Tyro. It is the child in him that has risen in his laugh, and you get a perspective of his history.

  • ENG KETELEER GALLERY Is Very Pleased to Present a Solo
    ENG KETELEER GALLERY is very pleased to present a solo exhibition by American painter Lawrence Carroll (1954- 2019). The exhibition consists of a selection of works from the Deweer Gallery Estate. Lawrence Carroll, born in Melbourne, Australia and died in May 2019, considers himself a true painter. Although his works are rarely recognisable as classic paint-on-canvas work, this is always his point of departure. However, the creative process causes the works to unfold in literally all directions. One can imagine the canvas with which it all started, but the end result is a complex layered structure of linen, wood, cardboard, wax, flowers, ice … and paint. Everyday things – leftovers that would’ve been thrown away – are added, removed, cut, stapled, mended, scraped off and so on. As a true testament to the process, all traces are kept visible. The painting literally and figuratively leaves the frame with Carroll. The ‘natural’, almost colourless constructions that are reminiscent of the Arte Povera movement take all kinds of forms: paintings shaped like – but still paintings according to Carroll – (wall) sculptures, tables, boxes, hinged surfaces, light boxes … In every case the artist searches for the perfect composition – on the surface, in 3D or in depth – a painstakingly long process that is determined by experimentation and an unwavering commitment to discovering the new, no matter how much patience or effort it requires. Here and there something of text pops up which, thanks to the sparing and meticulous way in which it is employed, soon turns into poetry. Fragments of sentences are illegible “scraps” which, just like the other materials, merge into a new whole.

  • Effects of the Greek Economic Crisis on the Republic of Macedonia
    JAMES PETTIFER The Effects of the Greek Economic Crisis on the Republic of Macedonia Abstract. This paper explores the current economic and political situation in the Republic of Macedonia in the aftermath of the most acute period of the international economic crisis, and reviews the prospects for government stability and the possibility of an agreement with Greece over the “name issue” in the coming months. James Pettifer is a Professor in the History Faculty at Oxford University, UK. The Economic Context The onset of the world financial crisis in 2007/2008 initially had little effect on the southern Balkans. Most countries – whether European Union members, candidate members of those awaiting an EU relationship – have similar banking systems in which the more speculative aspects of contemporary finance are almost wholly absent. This was not the case with Greece, where banking is closely integrated into wider globalized financial groups and where growing national indebtedness had concerned regional observers for some time. The debt crisis that developed in Greece in 2009-2010, with the possibility of debt restructuring, a default, and/or a return to the Drachma currency, along with the wider Eurozone’s financial instability has inevitably given rise to concerns about the economic prospects of the Republic of Macedonia. *1 The Republic of Macedonia has a small and weak economy with many trade and business links to Greece, a relatively unstable internal political evvironment, and problems that undermine good governance. Major Greek investment has in fact been undertaken in economic sectors such as the Republic of Macedonia’s _________ *1 The name “Republic of Macedonia” for the state is used as a matter of verbal convention only in this article and does not imply any view on the legitimacy of the term “Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia” (FYROM), which is also used as a state name by Greece, the Republic of Cyprus, and some international organizations.

It confronts the academic analysis of CSP with the debates emerged in the Albanian public sphere and looks at the reasons why the three different strands of denunciation of CSP as colonization identified (the problem of control, that of the technocracy and finally at the heuristic value of western categories) do not reflect the reception of the policy in the Albanian public sphere.
