It is my birthday and I am 73 years old. ” It is now seven years since I made the first of the recordings which have been transcribed and edited to make the text of this book. I was persuaded to make these recordings by my friend, the art historian, Joseph Darracott. We had been friends for over forty years and finally I accepted that the project which he was proposing might be feasible and would be worth attempting. And so, in talking about my life as a painter, I applied myself to the discipline of working from a list of questions which had been prepared by Joseph. During our initial discussions about the book Joseph misunderstood my idea, which was to engage in a live dialogue with the cut and thrust of question and answer. The task of responding to questions which had been typed up in advance became much more difficult to deal with because an exercise such as this lacked the kind of stimulus which a live dialogue would have given to it.

The methodology applies a synergy between drawing practice and theoretical writing about urban spaces, regeneration and the city. The project uses the contested regeneration of the Elephant and Castle in south east London as its primary case study. The area has an extensive historical visual record of urban change and redevelopment since the nineteenth century. The thesis integrates current theories and debates on drawing with urban regeneration. It is partly an account of the drawing process, what I have witnessed and how I recorded it, and how this relates to the theoretical aspects of the research. I have interlinked the multi-themed purposes and motivations behind urban regeneration, visual planning and the London imaginary in the thesis. Many aspects of the stages of urban regeneration have been under-observed, and official visual representations by developers and the local council dominate the flow of public information and perception of changes taking place.

    Developing Ministry at North Terrace 2000–2012

    CHAPTER 15 Developing Ministry at North Terrace 2000–2012 hile the health of the gatherings new and old was the central concern of the pastors led by Paul Harrington, these years saw many other efforts at developing the effectiveness of Holy Trinity’s ministry, both to its existing members and to those Wwho might join once they had heard and been convinced by the teaching on offer. This chapter examines some of those other endeavours over the decade or more since 2000. ***** Setting up and caring for the early years of the Hills congregation while maintaining a clear view of opportunities on North Terrace saw Harrington and his team maintain a fairly steady course through 2000–2001. The procedure of promoting the subsequent year’s budget by publishing a ‘Vision for Ministry’ in the spring was now well established. It permitted Harrington to promote his intentions and get responses to the draft budget from the congregation. The wardens then adjusted their plans accordingly. It made the subsequent annual vestry meetings less fraught, and meant the costs incurred before the Vestry meeting were more predictable. One immediate change saw Andrew Cole joined the team to replace Jeff Parkin, now titled site manager Cole would work with a revivified site management team that lifted the security and general health of the North Terrace buildings. A major pastoral initiative was launched by Lyn Sarah, drawing on her social work experience as well as her developing theological studies. She introduced what she called the ‘PEACE Pastoral Care’ model. Her goal was to develop a growing number of members of the congregation who were trained in a more intentional approach to pastoral care, while not ever pretending to be professional counselors.

Please send diary dates to [email protected] THE PARIS ATTACKS The attacks in Paris on 13 November have generated enormous media coverage and outrage and sadness among so many people. In a spirit of encouraging people to look under the surface of the problems, here are a couple of places to start: Paul Rogers, Professor in the Peace Studies Dept. at Bradford University, and speaker at this year’s NJPN Annual Conference, describes the attacks as a ‘blowback war’. Read the full article on the Open Democracy website: https://www.opendemocracy.net/paris-atrocity-and-after and in the Guardian on 16 November there was a thoughtful piece by Scott Atran – which raises some question marks about the more hysterical rhetoric coming from some quarters of the media. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/15/terrorists-isis It’s also important to get these tragic events in perspective.

    CultureTalk Romania and Moldova Video Transcripts: http://langmedia.fivecolleges.edu Christmas and New Year’s Traditions Romanian transcript: I: Povestește-mi și mie, te rog, despre tradițiile de Crăciun și despre mâncărurile tradiționale de Crăciun. M: Sărbătoarea Crăciunului este un pic diferită la oraș și la sat. De asemenea sunt particularități locale, în funcție de regiunile țării. De pildă, tradiția colindelor de Crăciun este mai puternică în Transilvania, în Maramureș. Colindele și cântecele specifice de iarnă în Moldova, și tradițiile legate de sărbătorile de iarnă în Moldova sunt cu precădere legate de Sfântul Vasile, de Anul Nou. De Crăciun, pe masa românului se află, în mod tradițional se află sarmalele făcute în frunză de varză murată și cozonacul. La care, bine înțeles, se adaugă alte preparate din carne de porc, iarăși cu specificul local. În noaptea de Ajun se colindă. Colindătorii primeau covrigi, nuci, de curând primesc bani. La oraș în Ajun se împodobește bradul. În familiile catolice există o slujbă de Crăciun, de Ajun de Crăciun seara. În familiile ortodoxe, sau familiile ortodoxe se duc la slujba de Crăciun dimineața, pe 25. I: Despre Anul Nou, câteva tradiții? M: Cum am spus, tradițiile populare de Anul Nou sunt legate, mai ales în Moldova, de o serie de obiceiuri arhaice. Este vorba de jocul cu măști, se colindă cu Ursul, cu Capra, sunt pe urmă Irozii. Pentru asta sunt o serie de… se fac o serie de măști din blană de oaie sau de capră. Li se fac niște figuri grotești, li se pun dinți din fasole. Și cu aceste măști se dansează la… în bătătura gazdei.

The event will explore ideas around portraiture and identity, through an afternoon of live drawing and curator talks, an art-inspired selfie station and the chance to explore the gallery’s permanent collection of paintings and drawings. Local artist Jenny Bell will run a series of interactive drawing activities asking us to rethink how we capture movement on the page - visitors will take turns modelling and drawing in charcoal to explore the many different ways the human form can be interpreted. Borough Road Gallery curator Theresa Kneppers will give short talks on artists representing the body, looking in-depth at two particular artworks by prominent female figures of the Borough Group, a collective of mid-20th-century artists from Southwark including Dorothy Mead and Edna Mann. This event is programmed by the Kids in Museums Youth Panel in association with the Borough Road Gallery.

    UNIVERSITY of LEEDS the LIBRARY Archives of the Queen Square and Park Square Galleries, Special Collections MS 712 Part I: Collective Exhibitions

    Handlist 74 UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS THE LIBRARY Archives of the Queen Square and Park Square Galleries, Special Collections MS 712 Part I: Collective exhibitions Mrs Sarah Gilchrist opened her commercial gallery in Queen Square, Leeds, in 1964; the enterprise flourished and she moved it to new premises in Park Square, Leeds, in 1968. She retired in 1978 though the gallery has continued under different aegis. In 1981 she was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Leeds and in the summer of 1984 through the timely intervention of Mr Stephen Chaplin of the University's Department of Fine Art, she most kindly agreed to give the accumulated archive of her galleries up to the date of her retirement to the Brotherton Library. The archive illustrates the relationship between artist and gallery, and between gallery and collector; it also illuminates taste and patronage in Yorkshire in the third quarter of the 20th century. This first part of a complete catalogue refers to collective exhibitions; further parts will deal. with one-man exhibitions, a picture lending scheme and other matters. Each catalogue will have indexes of exhibitors and of correspondents.
