Re: The Great Art Debate
In fact, on my first trip back to Bolton town centre for well over a decade the week, I was shocked to go into the Bolton Art Gallery and see just how few paintings the town has accumulated over the years. :-( They seem to focus more on exhibitions of this and that Mummy. I think it's more a case o...

Re: The Great Art Debate
A one-time T-W stalwart posted on Facebook today about a trip to The Lowry, which led to my learning that Lowry painted not one but two views of Burnden Park. This, sold at Christie's in 2012, has, happily, found its way into the Lowry Collection (I'm guessing it's on loan there, like the other, mo...

Re: The Great Art Debate
Despite his involvement in "post impressionism", which after all means nothing more than "after impressionism", except, it doesn't. Post-impressionism was not at all simply what came after Impressionism - it is the phrase used to describe a new school of art set deliberately in opposition to impres...

Re: You take the high road...
Leaving the practical difficulties to one side, the logical need to solve the West Lothian question is unassailable, isn't it? That it needs addressing is unassailable since the Tories have decided to raise it. But it was clearly ignorable since 1977 when Tam Dalyell asked it. Indeed Gladstone rais...

Re: Fiddily technical lighting question
I'm aware that I would need those permissions and testing and wouldn't mess about with anything like this myself, of course. Nor would I try to use the American fittings - at this stage I'm just wondering whether it's worth trying to find a UK alternative. £750 would be way outside of budget, but wh...

Fiddily technical lighting question
A technical lighting question on the off chance anyone can help... I am looking to curate another art exhibition in an office space that has lighting that is very poorly suited for this purpose. All of our fittings hold two compact fluorescent lamps (we use these ) with G24Q 4-Pin bases and essentia...

Re: The Great Art Debate
Ha. It was cold, wet and deserted in that particular bit of the Hayward that morning. As I say, I don't decry the taking of photos as such - just the way the activity of getting the shot gets in people's way.

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
Smug, self righteous email forwarded round our London office from a colleague who is doing 10 marathons in 10 countries in 6 continents in 10 months.
She's currently raised £7.5k of a £10k sponsorship target.
I know she has covered all her own costs, but they must be at least £10k, FFS.

I have to admit I was curious when Bish said it was about the place, not the course, having never been there.
