A seven part documentary created in 2005 as part of an exhibition at Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery in Salts Mill, Saltaire, Bradford, called 'Follow Me'. The exhibition followed the progression of seven particularly talented jewellers and metal smiths whose work has been featured at the Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery since they graduated. As well as showing diverse collections of work, the exhibition invited visitors to explore and understand the processes behind the designers' creative development. A series of recorded sounds and images 'follow' the designers through their working day, revealing the very different materials and techniques that they employ and offering insight into their sources of inspiration - from pots and pans to pebbles. Please visit www.kathlibbertjewellery.co.uk for more information.

This sick art is to be repeated - Please sign the petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/13031953/petition.html to stop it from happening again. This supposed 'art' masquerades is a sad comment on humanities ability to walk past suffering at all levels. I feel compelled to forward it as the first time it may be a 'comment' (abhorable as it is), but to do it again is purely gratuitous and deeply violent. For me the social comment hits hard, but the method is extreme and inhumane.THIS WILL TAKE A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME AND WILL SAVE A CREATURE -- AND HOPEFULLY REMOVE THIS SO-CALLED "ARTIST"!!! In the 2007, the 'artist' Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, he tied him to a rope in an art gallery, starving him to death. For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, until eventually he died. Guillermo Vargas was born in San José. His exhibitions include Graffiti Galería Cultura (2001), Exposición # 1 Galeria Codice Managua, Nicaragua (2002); Exorcision, Jacob Karpio Galería, San José, Costa Rica (2002); Alfombra Roja [The Red Carpet]. 300kilos de tomates (2006). He has also exhibited at the Inter-American Development Bank In 2007 Guillermo Vargas took a stray dog from the streets of Managua, Nicaragua, and tied it to a short leash in an art gallery, titling his exhibit "Eres Lo Que Lees" ("You Are What You Read"). Photographs appeared on the Internet showing a emaciated dog, tied to a wall by a length of rope in a room full of standing people, with the title of the exhibit written on the wall in dog food. The outrage triggered by the exhibit spawned allegations that the dog had been left to starve to death; these allegations quickly spread internationally via blogs, e-mails, and other unconfirmed sources. However, other than a three-hour period during which the dog was on display as part of Vargas' exhibit, the gallery alleges the dog was not tied up, and was fed with food brought in by Vargas himself.[2] There are no indications in the photos of where or when they were taken, nor of who took them. Juanita Bermúdez, the director of the Códice Gallery, was quoted in La Prensa[3] as saying that the animal was fed regularly and was only tied up for three hours on one day before it escaped.[4] Upon conducting a probe, the Humane Society was informed that the dog was in a state of starvation when it was captured and escaped after one day of captivity; the Humane Society also acknowledged, in reference to reports that the dog had been starved to death, "the facts [had] been misconstrued in some news articles"; however, the organization also categorically condemned "the use of live animals in exhibits such as this." [5] This matter was brought to the attention of the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), who investigated the issue found it had enough merit to take action, and are satisfied that no animals will be abused during the upcoming Biennial exhibition.

Photography © The Estate of Gisele Freund Some portraits © National Portrait Gallery http://www.npg.org.uk/live/search/person.asp?LinkID=mp08041&role=art Gisèle Freund (November 19, 1908 - March 31, 2000) was a German-born French photographer, famous for her documentary photographs and portraits of writers and artists. http://www.temple.edu/photo/photographers/gisele/gisele.htm Reprinted from London Times, April 1, 2000 (highlights) From Colette busy writing, to the deep, sad eyes of Virginia Woolf and the fatigue of James Joyce in his red dressing gown, this adoptive Frenchwoman frequented and recorded many of the great cultural figures of the interwar years and beyond. Blessed with a gift for friendship, she was a vigorous champion of the art of photography, although too modest to style herself as anything other than a "photojournalist". Freund was born into a comfortable middle-class Jewish family living near Berlin. Her father, an assiduous collector of art, introduced her to photography by showing her Karl Blossfeldt's remarkable studies of plants, and bought her a Leica when she passed her school leaving certicate. Freund's own interest in such changes was reflected by her decision to prepare a sociology thesis on the effects of photography on the art of the portrait With the coming to power of the Nazis in 1933, Freund fled Frankfurt for Paris, taking her camera with her (her negatives strapped around her body to get them past the border guards). She enrolled at the Sorbonne to continue her thesis and began to forge links with such figures as Jean Paulhan and his fellow exile Walter Benjamin, the author of A Little History of Photography and one of the few companion spirits to take an interest in a medium whose existence academics barely even acknowledged at the time: "People thought I was a madwoman," Freund would recall. Among those to pose for her lens at this time were Andre Marlaux, Francois Mauriac, Stefan Zweig, Jean Cocteau, Louis Aragon, Jean-Paul Sartre, Henri Michaux, Andre Gide, Henri de Montherlant, Simone de Beauvoir and Samuel Beckett. With the outbreak of war, Freund again found herself fleeing, this time to Argentina at the intercession of Malraux ("we must save Gisele") and with the financial support of the rich Argentinean Victoria Ocampo, editor of the South American literary magazine Sur. Quickly breaking away from local high society, Freund headed south to produce a remarkable series of photographs of Tierra del Fuego, to be followed a few years later by portraits of Eva Peron, then at the height of her fame. After the war, she moved on to Mexico for two years, becoming acquainted with Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Fascinated as she was by Mexico, she nevertheless decided to return in 1952 to Paris, where she was invited to join Magnum by Robert Capa. The experience ended badly, however. Fearing for the future of his agency in America, Capa dismissed her in 1954 because she was on the McCarthy blacklist and had been refused entry into the country. Though the incident hurt, she continued working successfully on her portraits and journalism. In 1981 she was asked to take what, in France at least, is no doubt her best known if most anonymous work: the official presidential photograph of François Mitterrand which decorated French town halls and official buildings for nearly a decade and a half. Gisele Freund stopped taking photographs in the 1980s to devote herself to that other great passion expressed in the subjects and sensibility of her portraits: reading. At her home of forty years near Rue Daguerre, Paris, the walls were covered with books, not photographs. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C06E6DA103CF932A35757C0A9669C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=1 http://www.galerie-clairefontaine.lu/gcf_site/vintage/source/freund01.ht -------------------------------- Music - "When I write my song" by Eddie Heywood Support the artist, buy his music http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=eddie+heywood+&x=0&y=0

The Cosmic Lounge presents Acid Jazz Music: 'Being With U' by Basement Jaxx. "Basement Jaxx are a critically acclaimed English house music duo comprised of Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe that rose to popularity in the late 1990s. Basement Jaxx started in Brixton, South London, UK in 1994, where they held a regular club night called Rooty, which would later become the name of their second artist album (Rooty). In addition to Rooty, their other albums include Kish Kash, Remedy, The Singles and Crazy Itch Radio. Kish Kash won the 2004 Grammy for best dance album and was their most critically acclaimed album for its innovative sound. They also won BRIT awards in 2002 and 2004, both for Best British Dance Act. In addition to their own work, Basement Jaxx have become in-demand remixers. Tracks such as 4 My People (which became a massive chart and club hit), Like I Love You and She Wants To Move have all had the Basement Jaxx remix treatment. In 2005, Basement Jaxx headlined the UK's Glastonbury festival as a replacement for Kylie Minogue. In 2006 they were support to Robbie Williams on Robbies "Close Encounters"-Tour. The production duo got their name from the location of the studio where they recorded their first EP - it was located in the basement of friends of Simon Ratcliffe. Recently the duo have written an exclusive piece of music to accompany a work of art they admired in the Tate Modern, who invited them to walk around the gallery and find a work of art that would inspire them to write a track. Karel Appellis Hip Hip Hoorah! ended up being the inspiring work. There are only two places in the world you can hear it - in the gallery or its official site." http://www.last.fm/music/Basement+Jaxx

Beneath and Beyond continues my enquiry into our relationship to the natural world whilst living in a technologically advanced, as well as ecologically critical, period of time. In exploring how computer software - developed for the Internet - can bring experiences of real world environmental 'events' into the gallery, I have created meeting points between nature, culture and technology. Further, I can examine the potential of the gallery as an interface to discuss social, cultural and ecological issues. My perception of both nature and technology has been shaped by the picturesque landscape of my childhood in the west coast of Scotland -- where the deep lochs became ideal sites to house nuclear submarines. These symbols of efficient, total destruction were in direct contrast to the ancient landscape; shaped by the slow forces of the ice age and massive tectonic shifts. Against this background grew an interest in the idea of 'the sublime' in nature -- a 'greatness' that nothing else can be compared to and that is beyond measurement or imitation -- and an interest in how artists have sought to represent it. In Beneath and Beyond, and other works that examine the increasing divergence between the natural world and technological 'progression', I explore how the 'tools' of the twenty-first century can be used to posit a more symbiotic relationship between nature and technology. - Stephen Hurrel To view the interviewwith Stephen Hurrel about his latest work "Beneath and Beyond" Click link below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCUPFqCFRRU This artwork brings together science and nature in a unique live-feed sound installation. Tectonic shifts and on-going movements beneath the Earth's surface are the source for generating this sound-work. A specially developed computer programme has been created to tap into, and continually monitor, one hundred Seismic Stations around the world via the Internet. These collected vibrations, in the form of raw data, are speeded up to make them audible to the human ear. These new sounds are then experienced in 'real-time' along with their corresponding visual representations -- seismic graph lines and waveforms - projected within the gallery space.
