Leafing through the old familiar pictures I began to imagine a series of paintings exploring a parallel Peter and Jane universe where the surreal and the absurd become the commonplace. Like many people of my generation (born 1960) I learned to read with Peter, Jane, Mummy, Daddy and Pat the dog. As I struggled with the unfamiliar letters my eyes were invariably drawn to the picture on the opposite page, full of strange details that drew me in and seemed to suggest a richer more mysterious narrative than the prosaic stories and dialogue on the written page. The format of the appearance of an open book displaying a page of text alongside the painting in order to give the painting some meaning, like an elaborate label, seemed the obvious way to present the series and thus was born “Peter and Jane, the lost episodes”. The other objects on display are an ongoing exploration of image making and painting onto less conventional materials; in this case bread and eggs. “Holy toast” and “Unholy toast” where created using silver foil stencils and are about 5 years old suggesting that once bread is cooked it will be preserved indefinitely. So when I accidently burned a piece of French bread it suggested itself as a surface to 45 years later I am drawn back to the same pictures by a paint on with encrypted lettering, “we cannot live on bread chance encounter in a second hand book shop. Perhaps the alone”. The goose eggs are blown and filled with silicone images are etched particularly deep in my subconscious before being primed and painted with oils. If you go by the process of learning to read, which seemed to me back far enough all life has a common ancestry, hence as a child such a miraculous act; the ability to hear stories “Tree of the greater family.” without anyone else being present. www.jonbentley.co.uk Page 1 www.bookarts.uwe.ac.uk Mishka Henner - Precious Commodities Enjoy book, print, paper and installation artworks on Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool, UK the themes of space, science (fiction and non-fiction), Until 5th May 2013 exploration and humanity.

Abstract The aim of my research is to demonstrate how a practice of hand made books based on the materiality of the photographic print and photo-reprography, could engage with notions of touch in the digital age. We take for granted that most artists’ books are made from paper using lithography and bound in the codex form, yet this technology has served neither producer nor reader well. As Hayles (2002:22) observed: We are not generally accustomed to thinking about the book as a material metaphor, but in fact it is an artifact whose physical properties and historical usage structure our interactions with it in ways obvious and subtle.

  • The Sporting Image: a Personal Journey Utilising History to Develop Academic Inquiry and Creativity
    The Sporting Image: A personal journey utilising history to develop academic inquiry and creativity Iain Adams International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire, Preston, UK. In 1997, an optional third year undergraduate module, The Sporting Image, was developed for sports studies students in which they scrutinized the portrayal of sport in popular and high culture; including literature, film, TV, art and music. Fifteen years later, this module, now compulsory for Sports Journalism students, continues to examine the portrayal of sport and ways in which it has become an integral part of popular culture and resonates with values and standards specific in time and place. This paper describes the evolution of the module and its successes and failures in obliging both the lecturers and students to move outside of their comfort zones and engage with creative writing, poetry, music and the visual arts. Introduction In the late 1970s, I was engaged in my PhD research at the University of North Dakota when I noticed an interesting optional module being offered on the taught Master’s programme by my Master’s degree supervisor, Bill Bolonchuk. This was called George Plimpton and Sport and seemed to be a radical departure for Bill, a hardnosed quantitative kinesiologist, so I attended the module. George Plimpton, a graduate of Harvard and Kings College, Cambridge, a close friend of Bobby Kennedy, editor of the influential literary journal The Paris Review, a CIA agent of note and occasional Sports Illustrated writer produced a number of books as he swam against Don Schollander, sparred with Archie Moore, golfed against Nicklaus and Palmer, quarterbacked for Detroit Lions and netminded for the Boston Bruins.1 With Bill, we discussed Plimpton’s work in this new genre of participatory journalism and hypothesized about its impact on people’s views of sport and the place of professional sport in American society and culture.

University building activity is frequently justified by architects and managers as responding to ‘market forces’. These claims are reflected in institutional discourses about campus redesign and a growing academic and media interest in the organisational space of universities. Discourses often emphasise the positive transformative effects of redevelopment without considering the wider impact on the everyday life of the university. This thesis explores the relationship between institutional space and the construction of individual, social and professional identities, using a case study describing a ten-year campus transformation project at Manchester Metropolitan University. Over this period, the university aimed to: consolidate the number of individual campuses from seven to two; provide new ‘world-class’ facilities for staff and students; create opportunities for ‘improved’ teaching and research activity; and develop the university brand. In real terms, this meant closing existing campus locations and relocating staff and students to an ‘iconic’ new building containing open plan academic offices and flexible student pods.

  • Principal's Newsletter July 2019
    Principal’s Newsletter July 2019 Earlier this term, 32 year 7 pupils and 4 teachers boarded the coach for a fabulous 4 day trip to Paris. We were so excited and couldn’t wait to see the sights. The plane journey took just over an hour and then we caught a train to our hotel. We didn’t stop to explore or unpack as we were all desperate to start our adventure and visit the Eiffel Tower. Seeing the tower lit up at night time was amazing and it was the perfect opportunity to practice our French in the gift shop. The shop assistant told Mrs Ramsay she was so impressed with our efforts! The next day was a bit more relaxed. After a delicious breakfast of croissants and cereal, we set off again for a trip to Paris Zoo. The zoo was brilliant and contained a host of different animals including 12 giraffes and some tigers! Paris was in the middle of a heatwave so we all made sure we drank plenty of water and topped up on the sun cream regularly. We made sure we took plenty of photos and had a lunch of pizza and ice-cream in the café; perfect! Day 3 was the best day by far; a trip to Disneyland!! The whole day was pure magic, from the rides (my favourite was the Star Wars ride) to the parade (Mickey shook my hand!) the whole day was superb and definitely one I will never forget. Before we knew it, the day had come to an end and it was time to board the train back to the hotel where we had some supper and went straight to bed.
