Cov Cathedral Newsletter September 2010 Remembering Anniversaries I recently spent a while soaking up the special atmosphere of the Ruins in late August sunshine. The Apse provides a stunning focal point to Our Story: the glorious pinnacles and tracery of the old building tooled by master craftsmen; the charred cross as a stark reminder of real pain and destruction; the hand-chiselled words ‘Father Forgive’ broadcasting an enduring message of hope for mankind through Christ. If you’ve been into the Ruins recently you may have shared my wonder at the enhanced haunting beauty of this space, newly revealed from beneath scaffolding, following an extensive restoration programme that lasted nearly a year. The Apse has been underpinned, cracks repaired, stonework replaced and lead flashing applied to slow the weathering process. It looks spectacular. I lingered awhile and joined the Friday noon Litany of Reconciliation - how good to have a properly designed and printed Litany leaflet, courtesy of the Friends, as a souvenir for visitors. The renovation work was essential. The final bill of £250,000 was only partly grant funded and was, inevitably, higher than estimates, as detailed work revealed further damage. Such is the crippling challenge of maintaining two cathedrals, one without the benefit of a roof! Cont.

  • The Explosion of Modernism Transcript
    The Explosion of Modernism Transcript Date: Wednesday, 19 October 2011 - 1:00PM Location: Museum of London 19 October 2011 Christian Faith and Modern Art The Explosion of Modernism The Rt Revd Lord Harries Prologue Christian art once provided a shared “symbolic order” (Peter Fuller). Shared narratives and recognised images through which the deeper meaning of life could be explored. This has gone. “The disassociation between art and faith is not written in stone but is not easy to overcome”. Formidable obstacles: of style-how to avoid pastiche, images that have gone stale-overwhelming plurality of styles, so artist has to choose-forced to choose a private language, and so lose some of the audience. [1] David Jones, particularly aware of this. Human beings are essentially sign makers. Most obviously we give someone a bunch of flowers or a kiss as a sign. So what are works of art a sign of? Here we come across the great crisis with which Jones wrestled both in his writing and his art. For he believed, and he said this view was shared by his contemporaries in the 1930’s, that the 19th century experienced what he called “The Break”.[2] By this he meant two things. First, the dominant cultural and religious ideology that had unified Europe for more than a 1000 years no longer existed. All that was left were fragmentary individual visions. Secondly, the world is now dominated by technology, so that the arts seem to be marginalised. They are no use in such a society, and their previous role as signs no longer has any widespread public resonance.

  • Modernist Sculpture and the Maternal Body
    REVIEWS (Devangana Desai) – Guha-Thakurta relegates important debates and acknowl- edgements to rather dismissive footnotes. Considering that most of Monuments, Objects, Histories is republished material, the structure of the book needs to be called into question. Such a project demands a far weightier introduction than the nine-page offering the reader encounters here or, alternatively, the addition of a concluding chapter. This could have usefully taken the place of the chapter on ‘Art History and Nationalism in Bengal’, which covers very similar ground to the author’s first monograph and is the oldest of the articles. Despite these minor flaws, and the predictable temporal linearity of the various sections (colonial-national-postcolonial), the monograph deals effectively with important cultural, political and methodological issues, and should be covered by those teaching and learning in the ‘new humanities’.

  • JACOB EPSTEIN EXHIBIT at FERMILAB an Exhibition of 31 of the Sculptures of Sir Jacob Epstein, American-Born English Sculptor, Wi
    ~ I fermi national accelerator laboratory Operated by Universities Research Association Inc. Under Contract with the Energy Research & Development Administration Vol. 7 No. 16 April17, 1975 SCULPTURES BY JACOB EPSTEIN JACOB EPSTEIN EXHIBIT AT FERMILAB An exhibition of 31 of the sculptures of Sir Jacob Epstein, American-born English sculptor, will be at Fermilab through May 9. The exhibit is lo­ cated in the lounge on the second floor of the Central Laboratory. It is on loan from the Museum of African Art, Washington, D.C. The exhibition will be open to the public from 1-5 p.m. on Satur­ day, April 26 and Sunday, April 27. Jacob Epstein was born on Manhattan's lower East Side in 1880. His earliest sketches were of people in his neighborhood. In 1901 he was asked to illustrate Hapgood's classic book, The Spirit ... Third Portrait of Kathleen, Ralph of the Ghetto. With the proceeds of this work he Vaughan Williams, Second Portrait of sailed to Paris where he studied for three years Esther, T.S. Eliot, Third Portrait of before moving to London. He became a British Dolores ... subject in 1910; he was knighted in 1954. A prolific artisan, he produced literally hundreds of works before his death in 1959. Information about the sculptures accompanying the exhibit points out that Epstein remained com­ mitted throughtout his career to naturalistic depiction of the human figure. This humanist bias led him to devote a major portion of his time to non-commissioned portraits of family members or favorite models. These he undertook partly for the challenges inherent in modelling or structuring a particular face and head.

  • WE the Moderns' Teachers' Pack Kettle's Yard, 2007 WE the Moderns: Gaudier and the Birth of Modern Sculpture
    'WE the Moderns' Teachers' Pack Kettle's Yard, 2007 WE the moderns: Gaudier and the birth of modern sculpture 20 January - 18 March 2007 Information for teachers • What is the exhibition about? 2 • Key themes 3 • Who was Gaudier? 4 • Gaudier quotes 5 • Points of discussion 6 • Activity sheets 7-11 • Brief biography of the artists 12-18 1 'WE the Moderns' Teachers' Pack Kettle's Yard, 2007 What is the exhibition about? "WE the moderns: Gaudier-Brzeska and the birth of modern sculpture", explores the work of the French sculptor in relation to the wider continental context against which it matured. In 1911, aged 19, Gaudier moved to London. There he was to spend the rest of his remarkably concentrated career, which was tragically cut short by his death in the trenches four years later. These circumstances have granted the sculptor a rather ambiguous position in the history of art, with the emphasis generally falling on his bohemian lifestyle and tragic fate rather than on his artistic achievements, and then on his British context. The exhibition offers a fresh insight into Gaudier's art by mapping its development through a selection of works (ranging from sculptures and preparatory sketches to paintings, drawings from life, posters and archival material) aimed at highlighting not only the influences that shaped it but also striking affinities with contemporary and later work which reveal the artist's modernity. At the core of the exhibition is a strong representation of Gaudier's own work, which is shown alongside that of his contemporaries to explore themes such as primitivism, artists' engagement with the philosophy of Bergson, the rendition of movement and dynamism in sculpture, the investigation into a new use of space through relief and construction by planes, and direct carving.

  • Memorandum To: Colleagues From: Peter Levine (405-4767)
    Memorandum To: Colleagues From: Peter Levine (405-4767) Re: CP4 Workshop April 23, 2001 Attached is the paper for the next CP4 workshop: "Public Art, Public Outcry: The Scandalous Sculptures of Jacob Epstein and Richard Serra" Caroline Levine, English Department, Rutgers University/Camden May 3, 12:30 to 2pm, in the Humanities Dean's Conference Room, 1102 Francis Scott Key Hall Abstract: What kind of art belongs in public spaces? Who speaks for the “public” in controversies over public space? In 1925, Rima, a sculpture by Jacob Epstein, was installed in Hyde Park in London. An avant-garde relief, the sculpture became the focus of public controversy for almost a decade—both reviled and defended in the tabloids, disparaged in the House of Commons, extolled by art critics, and defaced three times by vandals who scrawled “Jew” and “Bolshevist” across it. Taken by some as a proof of England's innovative role in the art world and by others as the subversive work of a foreigner, Rima became the emblem of a dispute over the national character of British art. Sixty years later and across the ocean, a comparable quarrel played itself out, and this time with more troubling consequences for the art work. In the early 1980s, Richard Serra's sculpture, Tilted Arc, appeared in Federal Plaza in New York City. It was a tall, curving steel wall that bisected the plaza, transforming the public space—and, some said, ruining it for the public. Protests became increasingly forceful, and eventually, after a hearing, the sculpture was demolished. Tilted Arc, like Rima, came to embody competing ideas of the community that had allowed the object to enter its space.
