The

–
David
Wilders,
‘Back
Breaking
Work’
and
Arts
Bomb



David
Wilder’s
exhibition
of
expressive
portraits
reflects
his
life
and

experiences
as
a
coal
miner.
Gritty,
dirty,
and
hardworking
faces
from

underground;
from
an
industry
that
has
all
but
disappeared.

There
is
an

Artist
talk
at
7pm.




Arts
Bomb
is
an
evening
of
visual
arts
and
sound
experimentation
with

performances
between
5‐9pm.

Interval
Café
‐
Anglea
Rusby


A
collage
artist
working
from
and
with
found
objects.

Her
work
evolves

from
her
own
personal
interests,
feelings
and
emotions.




She
never
hesitates
to
experiment
in
new
media
and
with
original

concepts,
allowing
the
work
to
develop
as
it
progresses.

Starting
points

often
reflect
her
interests
in
natural
patterns
and
forms
and
their

interpretation
in
2D;
images
develop
into
intricate
layers
where
one
image

may
hold
may
others.

Beam
Gallery:
‘Small
Projects’


This
exhibition
showcases
the
shortlisted
entries
in
the
Architects’
Journal

2010
Awards.

All
the
projects
in
this
exhibition
were
built
for
less
than

£250,000.
From
bridges
to
a
pop‐up‐store
and
even
a
hut
for
gazing
and

canoodling
these
projects
showcase
the
ingenuity
of
a
cross
section
of

architects’
work,
located
internationally.

Robert
Powell
Executive
Director

of
Beam
said;
“Working
to
a
small
budget
tests
the
creativity
and
talent
of

those
involved.
This
exhibition
shows
that
great
architecture
can
be

achieved
on
limited
resources.”




Haworth
Tompkins
architectural
practice
scooped
the
prize
this
year
for

Dovecote
Studio,
which
forms
part
of
the
music
campus
at
Snape
Maltings,

founded
by
Benjamin
Britten,
in
derelict
industrial
buildings
on
the
Suffolk

coast.


The
Studio
inhabits
the
ruins
of
the
Victorian
structure
in
the
form

of
a
new
prefabricated
Cor‐ten
steel
shell
that
was
built
adjacent
to
and

craned
into
the
ruined
brickwork
of
the
former
Dovecote
when

complete.
The
building
is
welded
in
a
single
piece,
like
the
hull
of
a
ship,
to

achieve
weather
tightness
and
lined
in
plywood
to
create
a
new
studio



space
for
artists
in
residence.

Harry's
Bar
–
‘Near
and
Far’
by
Richard
Stanley



The
first
showing
for
many
years
of
photographic
works
by
Richard
Stanley.NOT
TO
BE
MISSED!
If
you
like

compositions
that
show
a
keen
sensitivity
towards
human
subjects
and
the
local
landscape,
make
HARRY'S

BAR
a
must!





On
 seeing
 the
 portraits
 one
 feels
 an
 affinity
 not
 only
 with
 the
 subject
 but
 with
 the
 photographer
 who

captures
 the
 essence
 of
 the
 'sitter'.

 It
 is
 obvious
 that
 the
 artist
 and
 the
 subject
 have
 a
 relationship
 which

allows
us,
as
third
parties
to
engage
in
their
dialogue.



The
 landscapes
 show
 us
 the
 extraordinary,
 the
 subtle
 and
 often
 chance
 encounters
 with
 the
 elements,

creatures,
fellow
humans
that
we
alll
know
are
out
there
but
rarely
experience.



Stanley's
 work
 is
 informed
 by
 his
 unerring
 study
 and
 admiration
 of
 human
 nature,
 his
 sensitivity
 towards

mood
and
emotion
and
above
all
his
own
personal
'depth
of
field'.
