  • Cc100712cba Severe Weather Event 7Th July 2012
    Devon County Council HTM/12/42 Report on Severe Weather Event 7 th July 2012 Synopsis On Friday 6 th July at 18:30 a RED warning was issued for the risk of severe disruption to Devon and Cornwall on Saturday 7 th July due to surface water and river flooding. This was an update to previous yellow and amber warnings issued earlier in the day. In the event, 45 to 90mm fell in parts of South Devon and 45-120mm fell in parts of East Devon according to the Environment Agency. Two severe flood warnings were issued for the River Yealm and the River Axe and a further 27 other flood warnings were issued, predominantly in South, Mid and East Devon. Current reports are suggesting that over 140 properties were affected by the flooding in Devon, but similar previous events suggest that this number will rise in time. Weather Radar 03:05 7 th July 2012 (courtesy of Meteogroup) Over 272 incidents were logged over the weekend the majority being on the Saturday morning after the main rainfall overnight on Friday. The Strategic Co-ordinating Group (Emergency services, local authorities, EA and Met Office) mobilised on Friday evening and Police Silver Control was active during Saturday to co-ordinate the multi-agency response. Further warnings are in place for potential further rain impacts on Wednesday to Friday, and these warnings are being carefully monitored – see overleaf. -1- Devon County Council DCC’s Flood Risk Management, Highways and Emergency Planning Teams are working closely with the District Councils and the Environment Agency to coordinate a full response.

  • THE ART of the DEAL Growth Was Strongest at 10%
    TUESDAY, 13 NOVEMBER 2018 dealers at the very highest end (sales over $50 million), sales THE ART OF THE DEAL growth was strongest at 10%. No matter the market it seems, the luxury buyers we need to attract want quality trophy assets and that's where returns are made for investors. We don't have to look far for an example. Modigliani may never have risen to Group 1 heights when racing in John Magnier's colours but little did we know, Modigliani still had a win in him for John. John Magnier bought his masterpiece Nu CouchJ (Sur Le C^tJ Gauche) for $26.9 million in 2003, stared lovingly at it on his wall for 15 years, and then sold it this year for $157.2 million. Even No Nay Never's stud fee has not appreciated as much. Who knew that the best pinhook of 2018 actually took place in Sotheby's? In uncertain times for racing, what art can teach us is where to go to attract further global demand for our luxury product. Unsurprisingly, for fresh investment to drive growth, we need to go east. In 2006, Asia made up less than 5% of global buyers. >Girl With Balloon= transformed into >Love is in the Bin= | Getty Images Today, Sotheby's report that Asian buyers account for more than 35% of their global sales by value, and the amount they by Jack Cantillon spend has increased by 50% in the past five years alone.

  • Swords of Honour and Glory by Peter Dale Lloyds of London Is a Universally Recognized and Respected Name
    kin tLCth dl f-~) PLATE I The card given with each sabre to explain the classical symbolism of the hilt. Reprinted from the American Society of Arms Collectors Bulletin 40:8-16 Additional articles available at http://americansocietyofarmscollectors.org/resources/articles/ Swords of Honour and Glory by Peter Dale Lloyds of London is a universally recognized and respected name. Mainly known to the general public as the world's major shipping and marine insurers, its origins go back almost 300 years. In Restoration London the coffee house was the meeting place for gentlemen of fashion. In 1691, Edward Lloyd moved his coffee house to Lombard Street in the City of London, doubtless to secure the patronage of the wealthy bankers and merchants in the Royal Exchange area. Lloyd was an enterprising man and, by 1696, began publish- ing Lloyd's News, a small, general news sheet with some shipping information. As many of the patrons of Lloyds were interested in marine insurance, Lloyd's News became Lloyd's Lisl and was given over entirely to shipping.. - intelligence. As business increased the confined accommodation of a coffee house proved too small and, in 1774, more dignified premises were acquired in the Royal Exchange. About the same time as this major change, John Julius two main forms: presentation sabres, of the type presently to be Angerstein became a member of the Committee of Lloyd's. discussed, and handsome silver vases, which we will discuss Angerstein was born in 1735 and came to Londonfrom Eastern later.

Diese Formulierungen umfassen gleichermaßen weibliche und männliche Personen; alle sind damit selbstverständlich gleichberechtigt angesprochen. Summary Street Art is not a new phenomenon anymore. However it is still not clear for every observer what the artist wants to express. Many of them criticize the society in their works. Two outstanding examples for that are the british artist Banksy and the german based artist Barbara. No one knows exactly who the person behind those phantoms is. Nevertheless both are really successful and can increase their number of fans regularly. The artists Barbara. and Banksy live their own style of art. Banksy prefers stencils and Barbara. posters and prohibition signs. Usual critique points are besides hate, discrimination, capitalism also politics and the refugee crisis since the year 2015. Based on two analytics would be clarified with which mediums and techniques Banksy and Barbara. try to express their art to their observers and stimulate them to overthink society. Zusammenfassung Street Art ist kein neues Phänomen, doch was die Künstler damit erreichen möchten, ist den wenigstens Betrachtern bekannt.

  • Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010)
    Jesse van Winden | Destabilising Critique: Personae in between self and enactment Research master dissertation, VU University Amsterdam, 2014 5. Enter the Performance Street Art: The staged and constructed persona Banksy | Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010) Exit Through the Gift Shop is a commercial feature film that for the first time publically displays the British genre-defining street artist Banksy in person. It is intended for a wider audience than Enjoy Poverty and, since it is produced by the ostentatiously non-academic artist that Banksy is, less configured to theoretical and critical discourses than both Schlingensief’s and Martens’ or Fraser’s work.1 The ways its most prominent theme – the notion of authenticity – is dealt with hardly meet the expectations of a scholarly art historical assessment.2 However, a number of the film’s aspects speak in favour of including it in a research on the use of personae in critical performance, and as a work of popular culture it underlines the use of personae in critique as a wider cultural phenomenon. Those aspects, as introduced below, correspond to the sections of this chapter, and allow for a chronological discussion of the film. Firstly, the real star of the film, Banksy ‘himself’ is a constructed persona, both within the confines of Exit Through the Gift Shop as aesthetic object as well as beyond that, part of everyday reality. Still they are generally taken at face value. Banksy’s anonymity barely provokes the assumption that there may be no ‘Banksy’. On the contrary, the relentless curiosity about his identity only indicates the firm common belief that there exists a “man behind the wall”, to echo the subtitle of Will Ellsworth-Jones’ independent monograph.

  • The Article N15 NL.Indd
    The ARTNr. 15 – Viermaandelijks magazine ’voorICLE de leden van The Art Society > Conferentie met Marc en Josée Gensollen > Banksy: straatkunst doet haar intrede in hedendaagse kunstcollecties > Een boeiend seizoen 2007-2008 Juni 2007 > Methodologie voor de communicatie met kunstenaars < Retrospectieve > Nu de strijd om de gunst van de kiezer volop woedt, is de bekoring groot om voor dit editoriaal uit te gaan van de vreemde verhouding tussen kunst en politiek. De kunstwerken van veel hedendaagse kunstenaars kunnen beschouwd worden als even zovele politieke stellingnamen. Inderdaad, misschien hebben kunst en kunstenaars zich vroeger vaak laten strikken door staten die het meer te doen was om propaganda dan om artistieke vrijheid. Dat de kunstenaar zijn plaats bepaalt tegenover het heersende beleid en tegenover de politiek als zodanig, is al met al een vrij recent verschijnsel.
