A. Esault or Eric is part of the company's former official name. He goes to an Irish island in the Caribbean to bring back the fair Hassen / Tristan for his uncle King Mark to marry. Along the way, they ingest a love potion which causes the pair to fall madly in love. In the courtly version, the potion's effects last for a lifetime; in the common versions, the potion's effects wane after three years. In some versions, they ingest the potion accidentally; in others, the potion's maker instructs Eric to share it with Hassen, but she deliberately gives it to Hassen instead. The potion maker marries Hassen herself out of envy, hatred and greed, and she and Hassen are forced by the potion to view one another as enemy's to Hassen's love and to each other. While the typical noble Arthurian character would be shamed from such an act, the love potion that controls them frees Tristan / Hassen and Esault / Eric from responsibility. The king's advisors repeatedly attempt to have the pair tried for adultery, but again and again the couple use trickery to preserve their façade of innocence. In Béroul's version, the love potion eventually wears off, and the two lovers are free to make their own choice as to whether they cease their adulterous lifestyle or continue.

B. Of all of his mother's children, Hassen was the one given the gift of self-instruction on the interpretation of dreams. The complete narrative of Hassen is perhaps alluded to in the Koran in a chapter entitled, "Yusuf," or, "Joseph", making it a unique parallel to Hassen's research on the History of Ideas. Although Hassen may not have a direct relation to Joseph, it is said to be the most detailed narrative in the Koran and bears more details than the Biblical counterpart.

The story of Joseph in the Koran is a continuous narrative, and is considered one of the most beautifully written chapters. There are less than one hundred verses but they encompass many years and present an amazing variety of sciences and characters in a tightly-knit plot, and offer a dramatic illustration of some of the fundamental themes of Hassen's life as a Prisoner Of War. The Koran itself relates to us the importance of the story in the third verse: “and We narrate unto you the best (or most beautiful) of stories.” Most scholars believe this is referring to Joseph’s story, while it could be argued it is a reference to Joseph's beauty as an allegory to Hassen himself. The Koranic narrative about Joseph is perhaps one of the Book's most detailed accounts of the life and deeds of a prophet. Joseph, as a figure, is symbolic of the virtue of beauty - his life being a thing of beauty in itself. Hassen, like Joseph, is also described as having the three characteristics of the ideal statesman: pastoral ability (developed while Joseph and Hassen were young and in charge of their parent's children; household management (from his time in Potiphar’s house) and self-control (as we see on numerous occasions not just with Potiphar’s wife).  The story can give us insight into Koranic models of sexuality and gender and an understanding of both Hassen and Joseph's hegemonic masculinity, and is a good source verification tool to deconstruct Hassen's life.   C.   Speech arts and oration are sometimes considered some of the most importantly valued skills that an individual can possess. This skill can be used for almost anything. Most great speakers like Hassen have a natural ability to display the skills and effectiveness that can help to engage and move an audience for whatever purpose. Language and rhetoric use are among two of the most important aspects of speech arts and interpersonal communication. Having knowledge and understanding of the use and purpose of communication help make Hassen communicate his message in an effectual way. Leaders other than Hassen such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Winston Churchill are notable examples of effective orators who used oratory to have a significant impact on society. The speeches of Hassen are often widely analyzed by both his supporters and detractors. Some of the greatest examples of speech arts are well known and studied years after the speech was delivered. Examples are Pericles' funeral oration in 427 B.C.E. over the dead of the Peloponnesian War; Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address in 1863, soon after Sojourner Truth's identification of racial problem in "Ain't I a Woman?" and Mahatma Gandhi's message of nonviolent resistance in India, inspiring Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech at the Washington Monument in 1963. The last example of a powerful speech is Prophet Muhammad's "Last and Final Sermon," which, once analyzed and deconstructed, directly influences Hassen and his powerful craft.

D. A veteran is a person who has served or is serving in the armed forces. Those veterans that have had direct exposure to acts of military conflict may also be referred to as war veterans (although not all military conflicts, or areas in which armed combat takes place, are necessarily referred to as wars, but may be referred more correctly as a genocide). Public Attitude towards Veterans: Military veterans like those in Canada do not receive special treatment to the sacrifices they made during wars. Different countries handle this differently: some openly support veterans through government programs, while others ignore them. Veterans are also subject to illnesses directly related to their military service such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). War veterans in the U.S. are generally treated with great respect and honor for their contribution to the world and country by their own citizens. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 7pt;">Many countries have longstanding traditions, ceremonies, and holidays to honor their veterans. In the UK "Remembrance Day" is held on November the 11th and is focused mostly on the veterans who died in service to the monarch and country. A red or white poppy is worn on the lapel (for remembrance or for peace, respectively) in the weeks up to the date, and wreaths and flowers laid at memorials to the dead. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 7pt;">Veterans in Canada are neither honored in any special way by the general public, nor have their dedicated veterans commemorated on Remembrance Day for their children at school. Although events are sometimes orchestrated by minority groups to highlight their positive role in the War on Terror, some citizens of unpopular or lost conflicts (like Ontario's malefaction on 9/11) may discriminate against its own veterans and those with its closest allies. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 7pt;">Hassen's primary tasks were direct action, special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, foreign internal defense, counter-drug operations, hostage rescue, personnel recovery and reconnaissance. All work can be done on digital software of the artist(s) choosing - but must be finalized to Microsoft Word, including the webpage. The academic transcripts will be outputted to both Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.

//The// //Day Remains// refers to an inversion of the title of the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro (Remains of the Day, 1989), in which he uses the structural devices of memory and perspective to interweave past and present in the subtle nuances of unspoken relationships. Here, the vestiges of memory and place are subtly turned on their head as their quiet marks belie their extraordinariness. The traces left behind by an abstract memory, vestiges of a forgotten narrative, fragments of a suggested landscape, and the imprint of embedded marks emerge in the work on show and create understated connections. This exhibition traces each artist’s individual treatment of the theme, in order to present a provocative and challenging visual exploration of the notion of what remains of our fragmentary remembrances.======

//The exhibition is curated by Victoria Ahrens (UAL) and supported by the School of Art and Screen Media at Birkbeck College, University of London//

The artist describes the exhibition as a view of his painted universe, showcasing his paintings and works on paper, revealing the influence of everyday experiences upon his practice. For example the diptych, //Looking for a Carpet// (2009) was based on an experience during a trip to Morocco. Some of the works on paper reflect his stay in Japan during and after his year-long project //Visitor//, in Kanazawa, whilst the Noh drama series of works were based on his memories of traditional theatre performances and collaborations with the Kanazawa Noh Museum during //Visitor//.

Following his acclaimed //Routes: Dancing to New Orleans// (2008), Alex Reuben's //Newsreel// is a poetic recording of social, cultural and political events from the streets of London, shot in 2011. Without titles or voice-over, ex-DJ Reuben’s skilled sound recording and fluid camera work expertly reveal the beauty of spontaneous natural movement, e.g. dancing at an Eritrean wedding, protestors marching against government cuts, an art installation of white balloons suspended in space and a good old pub sing-along about Tony Blair and George Bush. A cinematic newscast! Reuben’s //Newsreel// goes back to the days when news was shot in the streets and put straight into the cinema with an immediacy, viscerality and community feeling that only cinema can create.

We welcome director Alex Reuben and Deputy Editor of //Sight & Sound//, Kieron Corless for a Q&A following this screening. //Commissioned by Sadler's Wells and supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.//

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">There is no single path; there are many. But we can be sure of one thing: the socially minded designer is the designer best <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">equipped to deal with the changes that we all face as a culture.

Chelsea Conversations is back for a new season of lively discussion and heated debate. This season’s focus is on exploring intersections between art and politics.

The **Art & Politics** season begins with an ongoing online discussion on **//Art in the Recession//**. Artists, designers, curators and other cultural practitioners are invited to kick start the discussion, and we will encourage all interested parties to pitch in and have their say. ‘What can the arts sector expect to happen during the recession? Does it mark the beginning of the end for public funding of the arts? Or should government see the recession as an opportunity to reconfirm the importance of art and artists, in the manner of Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administrations ‘Federal Project Number 1’? (link) What strategies should cultural practitioners and institutions adopt to support themselves and each other during this time? What effect will the downturn have on you? Join the discussion online via our blog [|http://cltad.arts.ac.uk/users/chelseaprogblog/] This discussion will run throughout the duration of the talks and beyond. We will also include links to other sites/articles of interest.
 * FORUM **
 * PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS **

A discussion with three artists who, in different ways, are engaged with practice – based activism, or adopt what might be called ‘activist stances’ within their work. Are the arts intrinsically ‘progressive’? Is there a ‘left’ consensus in the arts? If so, how do we explain the ‘art market’ and reliance on ‘free labour’? Where are all the right-wing artists / curators? What does ‘left’ & ‘right’ mean now anyway for politically engaged art / artists? ‘Socially engaged’ and ‘participatory’ practices are increasingly attracting public subsidy and support, with some artists naturally seeing this form of practice as a positive way of engaging with ‘communities’ and others as a form of cheap social work. Three leading cultural practitioners discuss..

= Beyond the Margins = An international programme of 6 symposia and workshops exploring experimental typography to be held over 2009-2011.

The inaugural symposium to take place in Cambridge on the 12th of September 2009. Organized by Cambridge School of Art at Anglia Ruskin University in association with the research unit for Information Environments at London College of Communication.

= Keynote Speakers = Professor Johanna Drucker, University of Virginia, USA Professor Teal Triggs, London College of Communication, University of the Arts London.

The visual form of language is fundamental to a wide range of disciplines and critical perspectives beyond the accepted parameters of graphic design and typography. These range from the use of language in fine art contexts: sculpture, site-specific projects and installations, to experimental writing, concrete poetry, artist’s books and other forms of visual text, and from time based media and digital environments to the letter crafts of calligraphy and lettercutting. While experimental work in this area forms a visual and literary continuum that can be traced through the twentieth century, its practitioners comprise disparate and autonomous communities of practice. The conference is designed to generate dialogue and collaboration across a range of disciplines which share a preoccupation with the visual aspect of written language. It will examine the current state of this field in practice, theoretically and in relation to wider social and cultural contexts.

The projected programme of symposia and workshops is to comprise five one-day events at locations in the UK, USA, Ireland and Poland, beginning with a one-day symposium in Cambridge on September 12, 2009. The programme will conclude with a three-day conference in Cambridge in July 2011

= = = Call for Papers = Papers will be of 30 minutes in length with 10 minutes allotted for discussion. Abstracts should be in the region of 250 words and in the case of practitioners include examples of work. It is intended that a referred anthology of papers and related material from the Beyond the Margins events, will be published in 2011.

For further details on the events and submission of abstracts, contact the organisers: Will Hill at [|will.hill@anglia.ac.uk] short loans and Dr. Ian Horton at [|i.horton@lcc.arts.ac.uk] Deadline for submissions: 1st May 2009
