Many of you will have shared my disappointment in June when Newcastle Gateshead’s joint bid to become European Capital of Culture 2008 narrowly missed out to Liverpool. ARCHES Features 13-17 It is important to acknowledge, however, the tremendously positive impact the bid process has had in galvanizing the North East and changing national and international perceptions of the region. The competition for the title of European Capital of Culture 2008 has already had, and will continue to have, a transforming effect on both the landscape and cultural activity in the North East. Not winning the title is tough, but in a very real sense this has been a good example of the maxim that it is not the winning but the taking part that matters. The exciting plans outlined on pages 13–15 to develop a Cultural Quarter on the University campus perfectly illustrate the ongoing commitment of this University to play a leading role in our regional cultural renaissance. These plans, which are on top of a current programme of building and redevelopment across Towards a Digging up Dirt the University totalling more than £80 million over seven years, will transform Cultural Quarter The history of agriculture the way we engage as an institution with the general public both locally and Unveiling plans for an exciting at the University. further afield.

    1 KURT SCHWITTERS IN ENGLAND, Sarah Wilson, Courtauld Institute of Art, ‘Kurt Schwitters in England', Baltic, no 4, Gateshead, np, 1999 (unfootnoted version); ‘Kurt Schwitters en Inglaterra el "Anglismo" o la dialéctica del exilio’, Kurt Schwitters, IVAM Centre Julio González, Valencia, pp. 318-335, 1995 ‘Kurt Schwitters en Angleterre’, Kurt Schwitters, retrospective, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, pp. 296-309 `ANGLISM': THE DIALECTICS OF EXILE' Three orthodoxies have dictated previous accounts of the life of Kurt Schwitters in England: that England was simply `exile', a cultural desert, that he was lonely, unappreciated, that his late figurative work is too embarrassing to be displayed in any authoritative retrospective. Scholars ask `What if?' What if Schwitters had got a passport to United States and had joined other artists in exile? He would have continued making Merz with American material. He would have had no `need' to paint figuratively.1 Would he have fitted his past into an even more `modernist' mould like his friend Naum Gabo, to please the New Yorkers?2 Surely not. `Emigration is the best school of dialectics' declared Bertold Brecht.3 Schwitters' last period must be investigated not in terms of `exile' but the dialectics of exile: as a future which cuts off a past which lives on through it all the more intensely in memory, repetition, recreation. `Exile' moreover is a purely negative term, foreclosing all the inspirational possibilities of a new `genius loci', a spirit of place: England. The Germany Schwitters knew was disfigured, disintegrating, self-destructing. His longing was for place which was no more. His Merzbau was destroyed by Allied bombing in 1943; Helma died in 1944: `Hanover a heap of ruins, Berlin destroyed, and you're not allowed to say how you feel.'4 The English period was a both a death and a birth, a question of identity through time, of new and old languages.

Newcastle's economy includes corporate headquarters, as well as learning, digital technology, retail, tourism, and cultural centers.

  • University Museums and Outreach: the Newcastle Upon Tyne Case Study
    University museums and outreach: the Newcastle upon Tyne case study LINDSAY ALLASON-JONES Abstract This paper describes developments in attitudes to public access and outreach at the University of Newcastle over the past thirty years, and the impact of those developments on the University’s Museum of Antiquities. The author describes some of the ground-breaking educational initiatives undertaken by the museum, and the plans for its future as part of the Great North Museum. Early days When I first began work at the Museum of Antiquities at Newcastle in 1978 the University was very clear as to the Museum’s role. It was there to assist teaching firstly and secondly to provide a basis for research. The museum was always a curious phenomenon because, although it was run by the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, the collections were mostly owned by the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle upon Tyne. When the joint agreement to establish the Museum was signed in 1956, the Society was very firm that members of the public were to be allowed in for free. The then University of Durham was equally firm that the Keeper of the Museum had to be a longstanding member of the academic body, preferably at the level of Senior Lecturer. When the University of Newcastle upon Tyne was created, and the agreement renegotiated, this was still adhered to. By the time I took over responsibility for the Museum of Antiquities from Dr David Smith in 1989 and later added the Shefton Museum of Greek Art and Archaeology to my portfolio, I had already become very aware that a university museum was in an unenviable position, caught between the demands of the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) on the one hand and the museum world on the other.

  • Bridge Building
    M12064B6832 w " ISSUE 1152 MONDAY 9TH JULY 2007 THE INDEPENDENT VOICE OF NEWCASTLE STUDENTS Bridge Building BY GEMMA DAVJES EDITOR PLANS have recently been unveiled for regeneration at Barras Bridge, as the University aims to create a 'front door' for visitors to the campus. The centrepiece would be a five- storey, glass-fronted Student and Administrative Services Building, on the site of the car park opposite the Culture Lab and Campus Coffee. The building would incorporate student services including the Careers Service, Accommodation Service, Student Welfare Service and Student Progress Service in order to give Newcastle students facilities likening a 'one stop shop' arrangement. A number of environmentally- friendly features have been designed into the new building. It would generate about 10 per cent of its energy needs from renewable sources and further reduce its carbon footprint by virtue of highly efficient building fabric, glazing, heating, lighting and IT facilities and a design that makes an air conditioning system unnecessary. The total cost of the project is expected to be £35m, of which £2m improving realm features around tni building,, to make the campus more accessible to pedestrians via the Barras Bridge entrance to King's Walk. Work is expected to start Spring 2008 and be completed in Autumn 2009.
