Letra&Música means Lyrics/Letter&Music. “Letra” means lyrics but also letter in portuguese, referring to typography. “Letra e música” is the way we invoke the author of lyrics and music at the same time.

I'm inviting graphic designers and artists to reflect around the theme Designing for the Music Industry. After a brief introduction and discussion it will be given to each participant the same similar base to work on. The “white canvas” is a craft sheet of paper 50x70cms, produced originally as the wrapping paper for the music shop Quebra Orelha (Ear Break), in Portugal. Printed as a background is a simulation of a Google search for images connected with music and ears. Each person will make one or more interventions using various techniques (wood type, drawing, painting, collage, folding, etc). Fell free to bring your own materials. You will have access to wood type, paint, colour paper and more. Digital files can also be provided for computer based work.

This workshop is part of the MA Graphic Design Final Show.

It will take place in the exhibition space.

 * The Remembering Olive Collective (ROC) is delighted to invite nominations for the Olive Morris Memorial Award.**

In the spirit of Olive’s life and work, 3 awards of £500 each will be given to young women engaged in radical grassroots political activity.

Olive Morris was an significant and inspirational community activist in 1970s Britain, who died at the young age of 27 leaving behind a significant legacy, that the Remembering Olive Collective seeks to honor. Olive was a member of the British Black Panthers, as well as a founding member of the Organisation of Women of African and Asian Descent (OWAAD) and the Brixton Black Women’s Group. The breadth of her political work went from her pioneer role in the local squatter campaigns in South London, through to organising with Black women and the student movement in London and Manchester, to supporting liberation movements in the Third World. For more information about the life and work of Olive, please visit http://rememberolivemorris.wordpress.com


 * Criteria**

Nominees must be engaged in radical grassroots political work of any nature. For example, as organisers, advocates, activists, lobbyists or being themselves victims of repression for their political activities. Charitable work is not eligible, unless it is part of a wider and demonstrable radical politics agenda. Nominees must be women who are between 16 and 27 years of age and of African or Asian descent. This is meant in a broad geo-political sense that may include, for example, Palestinian women. All women who fall under the above category shall be considered regardless of their nationality and immigration status.


 * Nomination forms**

Anyone can nominate a woman for the award, provided they complete all the information requested in the nomination form. Please download nomination forms from http://rememberolivemorris.wordpress.com/.


 * All forms to be returned by email to [|olivemorrishq@gmail.com] by 21 September 2011.**


 * Award ceremony**

There will be a public award ceremony held at a London venue towards the end of October 2011, with details to be confirmed closer to the date.

The Remembering Olive Collective is a group of women of diverse ages and backgrounds that was active from 2008-2010, dedicated to preserving and reactivating the memory of Olive Morris and the political movements she was part of. The Olive Morris Memorial Award is ROC’s final public appearance, bringing to a close an intense period of work, whose main outcome was the creation of the Olive Morris Collection at Lambeth Archives.

<span style="color: #17365d; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The work in Camberwell library is proceeding faster than expected and the contractors have moved on to working on the library floors. This means library staff

<span style="color: #17365d; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">will not have access to the library shelves so we will not be able to offer a book fetching service until further notice. Library staff are available in the Open Access Computer suite from 12.30 to 4.30 to give whatever help we can. From next Wednesday we hope to be able to gradually return to a fuller service. The libraries at Chelsea, Wimbledon, LCC and LCF are open at present.

<span style="color: #17365d; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause; and we will keep you informed of changes as they happen.

= Tuesday 24 May, 10am — 4pm =

= Red Room, Chelsea College of Art and Design =

We are a group of CCW Graduate School staff and students who have recently started a passionate conversation about sustainability and resilience in art and design education.

In response to the growing social, environmental and economic crises we have formed a loose group called Creative Transition that aims to fuse aspects of the Transition Town network with art and design practice and culture.

We care about our colleges, the future of art and design education, the environment and our community. Creative Transition is a call to CCW staff and students to meet and talk about practical steps toward the art and design school we want to see in the future — and to be inspired by artists, designers, activists, writers and thinkers responding to current challenges here and now.

Farm: shop []
Transition Heathrow is a grassroots group working to build resilient Heathrow communities able to cope with the injustices and threats of climate change and peak oil.

FARM: Shop is (guess what?) a farm in a shop. It aims to inspire and educate Londoners about how food is grown and to encourage healthy eating.

Although there is much thinking around a radical revision of the structure and curriculum of art schools, there are no perfect models. We’ll be listening to the very different ventures represented on the day and working together to see how we might be more creative in our own institution. We hope you’ll join us!

May 11, 2011

The PTES 2011 has been open since the middle of March and runs until the end of May. The PTES is a valuable resource which helps us to enhance the quality of the postgraduate taught experience by collecting feedback from current students and it is important that as many students as possible provide feedback for the survey to generate reliable information.

We would be very grateful if staff could encourage postgraduate taught students to complete the survey at every opportunity during the next three weeks. A good way of doing this would be to use dedicated areas with computers where students can go to complete a survey online. Please direct students to the University’s PTES website __<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #3b5a6f; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 1em;"> [|www.arts.ac.uk/ptes2011.htm] __ to complete the survey.

This year all students completing the PTES will be entered in to a prize draw for a chance of winning one of three £500 Short Course vouchers.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Although trained as a furniture designer, his practice is particularly broad in scope, embracing the design of exhibitions and installations on one hand furniture and products on the other. He is also often involved with many other peripheral activities; teaching, writing, curating, collating, etc. In all his varied practice there is a common core though, which is a search for the elemental nature of the thing in hand. Marriott won the Jerwood Furniture Prize in 1999. His works have been exhibited nationally and internationally. His list of clients includes Established & Sons, Möve, SCP, Inflate, twentytwentyone, British Council, Design Museum, Arts Council of England.

Birgit Richard
Professor Richard has amassed an archive of amateur YouTube clips: “From artistic finger exercises to fine arts, YouTube users stay within the given media structures. They do not program, yet a new aesthetic emerges and what is most important, the users are one hundred percent media literate. YouTube clips would never take the place of classic media art, but they are a marginal and important revitalisation of art.” She will be showing many gems.

Prof. Birgit Richard has been lecturing on New Media at the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt/ Main since 1997. She has amassed the extensive Youth Culture Archive, and conceived the ‘Inter-Cool’ exhibition held in Dortmund last year. Her research covers image cultures (youth-art-gender), social networks (YouTube, flickr, MySpace, Facebook), and the visual construction of gender.

> Time: Saturday 9 April, 2pm > Venue: on the lawn outside the river side entrance of Tate Modern

A group of London-based artists and activists will be holding a reading action on the lawn outside the river side entrance of Tate Modern on Saturday 9 April 2pm to appeal for the immediate release of Ai Weiwei and all those who have been detained, arrested, or ‘disappeared’ by the Chinese regime since February.

Our action borrows the title of Ai Weiwei’s audio project last year in which netizens read the names of 5,000 schoolchildren who were killed in the Sichuan earthquake. In our action on Saturday, we will invite 50 volunteers each to open one of the paper sunflower seeds we have prepared and read out the name of the disappeared inside. The names will also have their pronunciations in English to facilitate the reading. After the reading, volunteers are welcome to take the paper seeds home with them to continue the project.

A list of the detainees will also be printed out and made available on site for the passers-by to understand the current situation in China.

Please join us this Saturday to read the names of those we admire. We believe that the best way to support them is to carry on what they have started. We believe that millions of sunflower seeds will make the world change.

**FLICK ALLEN: Working in Education**

Gallery education is much, much more than just working with kids, offering visual artists, designers and writers opportunities to get involved in design and interpretation, long-term partnerships and one-off events, academic programmes and social networks, cross cultural and international exchange. For many involved professionally it offers freedom from centralised curricula, creative ways to develop ideas and collaborate with others, and the chance to reflect on your own practice in a different way. This lecture explores some of gallery education's different roles and opportunities for all those involved in the visual arts.

Clare Page and Harry Richardson are a collaborative practice called Committee.

The raw material of the lighting and wallpaper designed by Clare Page (1975-) and Harry Richardson (1975-), who work together as COMMITTEE, is the junk that they find in the flytips and skips and on the market stalls and streets in Deptford, the area of south east London where they live and work.

At first glance the colourful assortment of pottery animals, vases, figurines, boxes and other bric-a-brac clinging to Committee’s Kebab Lamps looks like a cheerful jumble of random objects. Gradually it becomes clear that the choice was painstakingly considered, and that Clare Page and Harry Richardson, co-founders of Committee, spend days finessing sequences of objects to explore a theme or to tell a story.

Most of the objects come from the junk stalls on Deptford Market, a short walk from their studio, and arrived there from the local tip. Born in Northampton and London respectively in 1975, Page and Richardson moved to Deptford in 1998 after graduating in fine art from Liverpool Art School. Since founding Committee in 2001, they have worked as designers applying “pragmatism and imagination” to exploring “the drama of the everyday”.

Having transformed tip cast-offs into desirable objects in their Kebab Lamps, the pair collaged images of more junk salvaged from tips and on the streets into the Flytip wallpaper commissioned for the British Council's exhibition My World, 2005. “Looking at these objects, it isn’t clear if they are beautiful and noble on their way up to the heavenly rubbish dump in the sky,” they observed, “or a chintzy portrayal of excessive consumption.”

** LECTURE THEATRE AT CHELSEA COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN 6.00 pm **
This is a new lecture series on Monday evenings. The series is created as part of the design courses at CCW in conjunction with TrAIN, primarily for graduate students who are studying Design and Design History across CCW. Lectures will address critical issues and research methodologies that are currently being debated in the field of Design. Speakers will be invited widely from design historians, theorists and practitioners

Open lecture – All welcome



<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Bamboo spans a third of the globe, coming into the architectural limelight every 7 or so years. Recent bamboo structures include ROEWU Architecture’s house at i-lan, Taiwan (2008), Simon Velez’s pavilion, the Nomadic Museum in Mexico City (2009) and Doug and Mike Starn's growing installation 'Big Bambu' on top of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art (ended October 2010). These newer constructions appear to enquire and often jar against the material’s innate cultural attachment, with bamboo increasingly being placed alongside other wood samples, a mere decoration on a building's envelope; moving further away from centuries of art, craft and architectural discourse existing in the southern hemisphere.

<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">This lecture will begin by with the parallel modernist design movements which took place in Asia, Europe and America, in particular the cultural reforms inside Japan around the time of World War II, where in a bid to constitute its own kind of Orientalism, bamboo became a tool in Japan’s cultural imperialism towards governing the wider East Asian identity. Around the same time South Asian countries entered a time of partition and displacement with decades of politically problematic regimes, still prevalent today in current day Pakistan and Bangladesh. With an increase in activity from non-government organisations, foreign agendas and agencies began influencing aspects of national ideology, with the vernacular shifting further towards bamboo being viewed as the ‘native’ or ‘poor’ people’s material.

<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The changing spatial configuration of the village compound in Bangladesh will be investigated as well as the histories of a bamboo ‘psyche’, propagated by Titu Mir (1782-1831), the rebel peasant leader who built the notorious Bamboo Fort against the zamindars and colonialists, alongside more recent examples of Mohammed Yunus’s Grameen Bank Foundation, where in an attempt to build homes for the ‘ultra poor’, the scheme has brought bamboo closer to realising its short comings and superiority over its perceived counterpart, concrete.

<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Saif will also be speaking about an international art and design platform called //Baasher Ghor// or Bamboo House (in Bengali), aiming to draw stronger parallels along cross-cultural lines and arts disciplines, open debate and discussion on current discourse concerning the use of Bamboo. With a clear footing in the UK, the project consists of a month-long exhibition, publication, a residency, international workshops and talks bringing contemporary issues of sustainability, ethical practice, ethnicity, nationhood, theory of neo-colonialism, neo-traditionalism and 'native' disciplines to the forefront, in order to offer solutions and facilitate problem-solving through a collaborative process of shared understanding and active involvement on the field. //Baasher Ghor// has received over 25 respondents from across 4 continents, ranging from artists, sound artists, designers, architects, poets and oral historians.

<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Saif Osmani is a Spatial Designer/ Visual artist/ Architecture Curator. He has over 5 years experience working on a variety of architectural, landscape and urban design schemes in and around London from social housing, theatres to community spaces. He is visiting tutor at Canterbury University for the Creative Arts and a former Chelsea alumni.

 * KEY DEBATES PANEL DISCUSSION **


 * SOCIALLY ENGAGED **


 * Cornford & Cross, House of Fairytales, **


 * Lottie Child, Anouchka Grose **


 * 11am—1pm, Thursday March 17 **


 * Large Lecture Theatre, Wilson’s Road **


 * Cornford & Cross ** are an artists’ collaboration comprised of Matthew Cornford and David Cross. Their cross-disciplinary practice – which responds to physical sites, social situations and historical moments – stems from their interest in urban patterns of social, political and economic organisation, as well as power structures further afield. www.**cornfordandcross**.com

Established by the artists Deborah Curtis and Gavin Turk, **The House of Fairy Tales** is a child-centred artist led project which draws on an extensive team of artists, performers, writers, educationalists, designers, musicians, film makers, dreamers and philosophers to create magical, parallel worlds where learning is play and play is directed learning. www.**houseoffairytales**.org

Artist **Lottie Child** describes her unique practice of Street Training: "The ability to negotiate the multiplicity of forces at play in city streets – by making, and refraining from, spontaneous urban interventions, the ways in which we behave, may be the most effective personalised combination of artistic and political expression we will possess. My work explores what survival skills we might need for the 21st century." ** malinky ** .org


 * Anouchka Grose ** is an art critic, author, newspaper columnist, and psychoanalyst. Her writing (both fiction and non-fiction) is centred on human relationship dynamics. Her essay ‘Is Art Good For You?’ was recently published by Tate. Grose will give grounded analysis and insight to both the critical and the well-being implications of socially engaged art practice. www.**anouchkagrose**.co.uk



**Please join us for the celebration of a fantastic new space!**

<span class="Normal__Char" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Arial; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;">Following an open submission from students from CCW, Camberwell, Chelsea Wimbledon colleges of Art, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;"> Professor Matthew Hotopf <span class="Normal__Char" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Arial; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;">, Director of the BRC Nucleus and Chair of the BRC Analytical Methodologies and Professor Paul Coldwell, University of the Arts London are delighted to announce that **Murray Anderson** has been awarded the £1000 BRS Nucleus Commission 2011. (This is the second year of the award, Magda Kaggwa successfully completed the commission in 2010). The work by Murray Anderson will be installed in May and will be on display for a period of one year.

<span class="Header__Char" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Arial; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;">**Murray Anderson** is a first year student on the MA Fine Art at Camberwell College of Art, University of the Arts London.

<span style="display: block; font-family: calibri,arial; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"><span class="Normal__Char" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Arial; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;">His practice is primarily concerned with representing the elusive nature, perceived location and mystery of personal identity (the self). As scientific advancements reveal the technical substrates of the brain, no clear semblance of the self has yet been revealed. This allows for myths and personal truths relating to the self to persist. He is interested in locating his work in this grey area between inner and outer experience, fact and fiction by drawing parallels between scientific discovery and our own subjective experience or beliefs.

<span style="display: block; font-family: calibri,arial; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"><span class="Normal__Char" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Arial; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;">His proposal is to produce a series of works using the moth or butterfly as a metaphor for the self. The Greek work psyche, the root of the term psychiatry, has a dual definition, to denote the soul and a moth or butterfly. Throughout mythology the butterfly/moth has been used to represent the vital essence or sprit of a person. The sequential metamorphosis of the butterfly/moth life cycle alludes to the mutable nature of the self that retains continuity despite changes throughout a lifetime.

<span style="display: block; font-family: calibri,arial; font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"><span class="Normal__Char" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Arial; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;">He will produce a series of four to six wall-based artworks each exploring an aspect of the themes outlined i.e. internal brain patterns, mimetics, the second brain, blots etc. using the butterfly/moth motif as a common thread. To accommodate the work in the space the individual pieces will be up to a maximum of 600 x 450mm in size. His practice is interdisciplinary and he envisages the artwork to incorporate drawn, painted and collaged elements with resin on either canvas or board support.

** CCW DESIGN LECTURE SERIES in collaboration with TrAIN Research Centre: **

** ‘Toward a Transnational Framework for Design History: American design intervention in Japan during the Occupation and Cold War’ **
** MONDAY 7 FEBRUARY 2011 **

** LECTURE THEATRE AT CHELSEA COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN 6.00 pm **

This is a new lecture series on Monday evenings. The series is created as part of the design courses at CCW in conjunction with TrAIN, primarily for graduate students who are studying Design and Design History across CCW. Lectures will address critical issues and research methodologies that are currently being debated in the field of Design. Speakers will be invited widely from design historians, theorists and practitioners

Open lecture – All welcome

Design history and study in the 21st century is experiencing transition that sees a shifting of its scope from the Anglocentric to the global. In this current, East Asia has been recognised as a unigonorable other centre of modern design development. The current agenda of design history and study is focused on how we can engage this discipline’s methodological and critical approach with non-Anglophone studies, while accumulating empirical data of indigenous development in these areas. By addressing this design history agenda, my presentation aims to demonstrate one approach by which we can link up national and transnational design development. It will focus on American design intervention in Asia, in particular Japan during the Occupation and Cold War period, and examine how the development of modern design in East Asia is entwined with the North American interest in Asia. I will discuss the changing image and taste for Japanese craft design through the American intervention in Japanese craft design for export from the Occupation period through to American designer Russel Wright’s project; secondly, I will discuss the idea of ‘Asian Modern’ and its relation with American design identity; and finally, I will look at Hollywood films as a disseminating agent for popularizing American taste for Japan and Japanese craft design.

Dr Yuko Kikuchi is Reader in the History of Art and Design at TrAIN (Research Centre for Transnational Art Identity and Nation), University of the Arts London. She is also an editorial member of//Journal of Design History//. Her works include //Mingei Theory and Japanese Modernisation: Cultural Nationalism and ‘Oriental Orientalism’// (London: RoutlegeCurzon, 2004), //Refracted Modernity: Visual Culture and Identity in Colonial Taiwan// (Honolulu: University of Hawai‘i Press, 2007), and co-author with Toshio Watanabe, //Ruskin in Japan 1890-1940: Nature for Art, Art for// Life (Tokyo: Cogito, 1997). She is currently working on a book about Russel Wright and American intervention in Asian design during the Cold War, and is organising publications and conferences as part of a joint international project ‘Oriental Modernity: Modern Design Development in East Asia, 1920-1990’.

 * ‘Hidden Spaces’ An exhibition of Sketchbooks. On now and runs until the 19th January** (10am to 8pm weekdays only)

WILSON ROAD, Camberwell College of Art

Curated by Danny Aldred / Artists include; Grayson Perry, Janet Bradley, Stephen Cooper, Margaret Cooter, Egidija Čiricait, Andrew Foster, Christa Harris, Charlotte Knox-william, Stewy, Natalie Yiaxi.

Sketch books

For most artists sketchbooks have been spaces in which to rehearse and experiment without the pressure of the outside world. This removal of audience creates a non judgemental, safe environment which stimulates explorative play which in turn can feed the creative process. Many artists have told me they consider their sketchbook work as important as final published works yet have never exhibited or shown this work before, this still surprises me. The purpose of this exhibition is to bring together sketchbooks from a range of successful practitioners that for the most part have never been exhibited.

** CCW DESIGN LECTURE SERIES in collaboration with TrAIN Research Centre: **
= Dr GLENN ADAMSON  =

= 'Affective Objects: Design and the Re-invention of Craft'  =

= Chaired by Dr Yuko Kikuchi =



**<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">MONDAY 31 JANUARY 2011 **

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">LECTURE THEATRE AT CHELSEA COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN 6.00 pm **

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">This is a new lecture series on Monday evenings starting from January. The series is created as part of the design courses at CCW primarily for graduate students who are studying Design and Design History across CCW. Lectures will address critical issues and research methodologies that are currently being debated in the field of Design. Speakers will be invited widely from design historians, theorists and practitioners.


 * Open lecture – All welcome**

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">The twenty-first century has already seen tremendous shifts in the public and professional understanding of hand skills. Just ten years ago, 'craft' was a rather unfashionable term. The field was protected and defined largely by institutions set up after World War II. There were concerns about the viability of the ongoing craft movement, but it was difficult to see other possibilities for moving forward. The exception was a long-awaited acceptance of craft disciplines within the sphere of fine art, a goal inherited from the generation of the 1960s; but this passage was always incomplete and contested. In the past decade, by contrast, craft has achieved much broader currency – the concept of a 'movement' has shifted into the very different context of the DIY scene, with the more established studio craft world coming to seem moribund by comparison. At the same time, contemporary designers - first in the Netherlands, then elsewhere - have been engaging with craft (often as image, rather than reality) to an unprecedented extent. The role of professional skill in this new, multivalent environment is unclear. While easily portable, relatively low-difficulty skills like knitting are flourishing, more infrastructure-intensive activities (like those customarily associated with metalwork and ceramics) are not as easily deployed. In this talk, craft theorist and historian Glenn Adamson will examine the new terrain, suggesting that a very old term -John Ruskin's concept of 'affectivity' - might help us find our way through a tangled and shifting situation.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Glenn Adamson is Deputy Head of Research and Head of Graduate Studies at the Victoria and Albert Museum, where he leads a graduate program in the History of Design. He is co-editor of the triannual Journal of Modern Craft, and the author of Thinking Through Craft (Berg Publishers/V&A Publications, 2007) and The Craft Reader (Berg, 2010). Dr. Adamson’s other publications include Industrial Strength Design: How Brooks Stevens Shaped Your World (MIT Press, 2003). Presently he is working on an exhibition about Postmodernism, to be held at the V&A in 2011.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Other forthcoming lectures are: **

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">7 February – Dr Yuko Kikuchi (TrAIN-UAL)

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">** What is Arduino? **

<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> Arduino programming language <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> (based on <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> Wiring  <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">) and the Arduino development environment (based on <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> Processing  <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">).

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software on running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, <span class="x_wikiword" style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">MaxMSP <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">).

<span style="color: #205867; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">If you would like to attend you can purchase your own starter kit from <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> www.arduino.cc <span style="color: #205867; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">, our tutor will work with you on your individual project so that you can go away with a practical outcome.

= Advertising Evening Lecture Series  =

to be held at Chelsea College of Art, University of the Arts London

16 John Islip Street, London, SW1P 4JU

Monday 24th January to Wednesday 20th April 2011

On Monday and Wednesday evenings: 18:30-20:00

(a few lectures will be held on Thursday evenings, please check the schedule)

What it is:

CCW’s Artscom office has organized a lecture series on Advertising for international postgraduate Advertising delegates. The international delegates are in their final year and study in London for four months each year. The series will be held in English.

What this means to you:

London Artscom is pleased to offer places on this evening lecture series to all current University of the Arts London students, FE, undergraduate and postgraduate UAL students, as well as those undertaking research degrees.UAL students currently studying design, marketing, branding or advertising will find the series particularly relevant, however, all students are welcome to attend. The critical nature of advertising in our society and the effect that this has both on our attitudes to the creative industries and to creativity in general makes this series relevant.The lecture programme series will be based on a published schedule.

(please refer to the attached schedule; detail in the programme might be subject to change due to the schedule of some of the international contributors).

The lecture series will take a look at both contemporary and emerging issues and themes, concentrating in a major way on the current economic crisis and how this is affecting the creative industries.To balance this, the dramatic change in behaviour brought about by social networking, (changing both the status of consumers and their effect on advertising), will be closely examined, along with the imponderable nature of safeguarding intellectual property rights and the veracity of the message in a virtual global medium. The lecture series will be delivered by speakers pivotal to key aspects of the media, communications and advertising industries, those speakers experienced not only in European aspects of the subject but leaders in their field internationally.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'franklin gothic medium',sans-serif; text-align: center;">15th December Wilsons Lower Gallery

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'franklin gothic medium',sans-serif; font-size: 18pt; text-align: center;">MA Party (4.30 Wilson Rd lower gallery)

<span style="font-family: 'Franklin Gothic Medium',sans-serif;">On Weds 15th December you are invited for a drink and to take part in an exchange of works with your post graduate comrades.

<span style="font-family: 'Franklin Gothic Medium',sans-serif;">If you wish to take part, the idea is this. You make a work on paper (drawing, sketch, print, photograph etc) no bigger than A3 which is 297 x 420mm.

<span style="font-family: 'Franklin Gothic Medium',sans-serif;">These works will then be displayed in the lower corridor gallery at Wilson Rd and at 4.30 after the lecture we can have a drink and via a raffle system of pulling names from a bucket, exchange works with each other and take them home that evening.

<span style="font-family: 'Franklin Gothic Medium',sans-serif;">The student reps from each course will arrange to gather the works to be displayed and hang them that morning. They will also need to bring a list of printed names of all the people participating, one for the wall and one for the raffle bucket.

<span style="font-family: 'Franklin Gothic Medium',sans-serif;">I hope this makes sense, it’s a great chance to treasure a new work by a future talent.

<span style="font-family: 'Franklin Gothic Medium',sans-serif;">I would like to meet all student reps briefly at 12.30 on Weds 8th Dec in the common room at Wilson Road, to discuss plans.

<span style="font-family: 'Franklin Gothic Medium',sans-serif;">Thanks

= ** Dear Friends and Colleagues, ** =

= ** Artist, Academic, Curator, Dealer, Collector, Critic, Blogger or whomever you are ** =

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">I invite you, in fact I urge you, to come to our group exhibition **The Freaks**, which will be held in the cavernous and atmospheric basement of Shoreditch Town Hall, from Thursday 9/12/2010 at 5pm.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The exhibition runs for almost 2 weeks (all times and dates on the attached weblink)

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">**The Freaks** is the second brain child of curator, artist and film maker Tom Adriani (Tales from the Electric Forest, St Pancras Church Crypt, 2009). After one and a half years of hard work, Tom has put together a fantastic show of 35 self funded artists, with over 300 artworks in the right time and the most suitable place.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">I will be exhibiting new work in the show, which I am not going to tell you anything about just yet. Look for me near the end point of the show circuit. This show also, believe it or not, marks exactly the 20th year of my existence as a professionally-exhibiting artist. Twenty years ago I had my first group show in the Goethe Institut, Alexandria Egypt. I have never looked back.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">So, please join me at **The Freaks**. I can promise you a very interesting show of things that deserve leaving the warmth of your house for.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Entry is free, and the place is huge so please bring many friends along with you, and pass this invitation and email along to as many people as possible!

<span class="Normal__Char" style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">Magda Kaggwa was the first recipient of the BRS Nucleus Commission Award to make a site-specific artwork for the BRC Nucleus research space.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',arial; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"><span class="Normal__Char" style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">Nucleus Commission. Magda was a student on the MA Printmaking at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',arial; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"><span class="Normal__Char" style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">Magda’s objective for the Nucleus Commission was to produce a series of six prints portraying the human skull gradually consumed by flowers, intensifying with each image and progressing from a bud in the initial image to a full flowering bloom which engulfs the brain area in the final print. Each print was made up of a photopolymer plate and zinc plates. The prints incorporated original x-ray images of the human skull, exposed onto photopolymer plate and printed on paper, and illustrations hand drawn onto zinc plate; like most of Magda’s work this approach embodied both sides of the dichotomy between photographic and representational artistic techniques. This concept aimed to convey the advancement of mental illness in an individual through the invasion of the skull by flowers, exploring the beauty and complexity of the mind and confronting the psychiatric and social stigmas that inhabit perceptions of mental health issues whilst encouraging a deeper and more sympathetic understanding.

"Scales or 'The Continuation of Man' on the Cities by Naoya Hatakeyama which House No People – or the Breath of Light" – Hubertus von Amelunxen, Visiting Curator, Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA)

Naoya Hatakeyama has been showing his series of works such as Lime Works, Blast, River Series, Underground and Slow Glass since the 1980s. People hardly make an appearance in his photographs but his images show major human interventions in the landscape. Hatakeyama is based in Tokyo, which continually fuels his interest in the relationship between nature, the city and photography. "This artist breathes light and gives his breath as a gift to the world, which appears once again, with each draught of life, as an image, and always as if it were for the last time", Amelunxen comments.

Hatakeyama observes that people strive to grasp the world as a whole, but because reality is too vast and our life too short to understand the whole, people needed to invent maps, models, signs and metaphors. Together with some of his unpublished works, the exhibition will showcase his masterworks, Scales, commissioned by Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), which explores the concepts of scale and perception of reality through architectural models, employing the vocabulary of photography.

"What is embodied in photography is not a clear 'knowledge of the whole', but, rather, a 'longing for the knowledge of the whole'". - Hatakeyama

Exhibition: 14 October – 15 December 2010

Admission free, Monday – Friday, 9.30am-5pm
