Welcome to the first International Film Festival in Walthamstow. Running as part of the E17 Arts Trail, this is the first time that Walthamstow has celebrated talent in cinema since the glory days of the Hollywood cine studios, which were formerly based in the borough and were the forerunners of their more famous counterparts Elstree, Pinewood and Hollywood USA. Aptly named "boutique" in style, this small but exciting cinematic event will take place in retro furniture shop Beyca, at 83 Grove Road E17. The films will be shown over the ten days of the festival on a specially commissioned vintage style 1950s television. All film entries are 5 minutes in length or under and will be shown on a loop so that viewers can watch as few or as many films that they like. With 90 films from international locations such as Japan, Canada, Russia, Czech Republic and USA, as well as our own borough of Walthamstow and neighbouring London boroughs, there is plenty to see, to appreciate and enjoy. All foreign films are subtitled and all the content is suitable for family viewing. Following the festival, the plan is to run film production, scriptwriting and film appreciation workshops so be sure to register any interest at www.e17films.com We would like to extend our thanks to all of our unpaid volunteers, who worked tirelessly to make the film festival happen, all of our judges, sponsors and supporters, to Lulu and Rudy for giving up their summer holiday and to the generous public who bought the I Walthamstow merchandise to fund the Festival Programme production.

antonio sassu is present: museum of new art - october 2, 2010 The Facebook Show: Profile Portraits from FB, vol.2 opening at The Museum of New Art (MONA) reception: Saturday, October 2 from 6-10pm October 2 - October 30 web: detroitmona.com _____________________________________________________________________ The Facebook Show: Profile Portraits from Facebook http://www.detroitmona.com/Exhibits_2010/Facebook_Show_2b.htm http://www.detroitmona.com/Exhibits_2010/Facebook_Show_2.htm http://www.detroitmona.com/Exhibits/2010.html The artist's fascination with authentic emotion is nothing new but “real” emotion seems to have become one of the biggest sellers in our society during the past 15 years. Reality TV shows like Big Brother or The X-Factor are capitalizing on that special moment when the candidate finds out if he/she has made it to the next round. The internet too has made us aware of the phenomenon of being exposed and private at the same time. Facebook gives us visibility to an anonymous mass if we wish to be exposed. We are asked to be in the now: “Just landed at Heathrow”, “Relationship status: Single, 5 minutes ago”; as dramatic or as banal or boring as we please. Any emotion counts. By being public we have acquired anonymity and intimacy at the same time. Because of this ability to be at the same time public and anonymous we have acquired a new understanding of public life and the responsibility that was traditionally associated with it. How real is the reality in this Twitter world? In effect we are already one step removed from reality as soon as we comment on it. Compared to a gladiator fighting in a Roman arena the internet seems a safe place. Our gusto to be part of a spectacle could only be described as natural. After all we are social beings. Could the function of virtual social networks as witnesses of our emotions be compared to the function of a psychotherapy group? Modernist sculptors used to talk about the space in between objects. I propose we reflect upon the emotional space created by our digital society.

PRESS RELEASE MA Fine Art Show 9 - 12 September 2010 Private View Wednesday 8 September 5pm to 9pm City & Guilds of London Art School is proud to present its 2010 MA Fine Art Show. 17 students will show their work in the Georgian surroundings of the School’s historic site on the edge of Cleaver Square, minutes away from Kennington tube station. Most of the works will be for sale and entrance to the exhibition is free. To coincide with the show, the Art Lift project, organised with public art agency Art Below, will feature student works from 1-12 September in the two lifts at Kennington Tube station (see www.artbelow.org.uk for more information). The School offers an intensive 1 year full time (or 2 year part-time) MA in Fine Art, giving students the chance to benefit from advanced teaching by leading practitioners and develop their practice within a critical and professional framework. Graduating students in their own words The work of Adriana Arango oscillates between parody and sincerity. Each of the images depicts the artist assuming the role of characters found in magazines or pulp novels. The slow process of oil painting is used to point out what is often hidden by the speed at which the original images are produced. Scott Blaser: The virgin canvas presents the purest light. With the first mark, history begins and it is all down hill from there. Holly Chambers approaches drawing by simply drawing a line. However, through an obsessive process of repetition the line is contorted and a form, or rather a surface, is brought into existence. The work is thrown into the world of illusion, but remains rooted in an organic process. It exists as testaments of endurance, experimentations with the properties and definitions of the drawn mark. Despite any resemblances found, the viewer is encouraged to look and then look again, and see that the surfaces or forms presented exist in reality as a collection of meticulously placed lines. Ruth Goddard: My exact subject shifts and eludes my grasp every time I define it in language; but I am constantly examining themes of trauma, violence and mourning. I hope to tease out the memories and 'bonds that compose us' as individuals - as well as mirror those shared memories that exist within a wider community. I know I can never catch them, but I hope that if I dangle my leg over the side of my bed the monster will bite. Takayuki Hara: My work concerns eternal possibilities of our identity. Influenced by Deleuzian theories, I am exploring the idea of the ever-expanding potentiality of our univocal being, with an intricate and obsessive drawing style. Barbara Hoogeweegen responds to Jacques Lacan's statement: 'There is no such thing as a sexual relationship'. Lacan is stating that men and women do not 'interact' with each other. The paintings are made to investigate whether the facial expressions that reveal the kaleidoscope of emotions that exist between people support Lacan's thinking. Margaret Koval's paintings are about instability and uncertainty. She uses CCTV surveillance imagery as a vehicle to explore these themes and employs an idiosyncratic painting style that embodies them. The pixels of the CCTV source material are often rendered with thread-like strands of translucent oil paint. The resulting artworks seem to straddle categories: they are paintings with the dimensionality of sculptural relief, the refractive quality of stained glass, and the physical presence of tapestry or thread-worn carpet. Dan McDermott: I am showing a series of paintings based on film stills, lifted from YouTube, from one of the earliest examples of cinema. This short piece of film lasting less than one minute was filmed by the Lumiere Brothers in the 1890s. It shows a train pulling into a station in France and people entering and alighting from the train. I attempt to journey into the image further using paint to understand and make manifest my fascination with certain kinds of images. Minako Nonaka: I explore pictorial space and what happens when I paint reminds me of some landscapes within my memory. My painting resides between abstraction and objectivity. I paint the 'epic' landscape with a sense of feeling, which evokes the unknown and infinite space beyond sight. My aim now is to create metaphor, not simile. Catherine Phillips: The fragmented landscape of the limestone quarry of Provence and the built environment of the Andalusían white village street form the basis for interrogations into the perception of space, form and light. Lachlan Thom: I make paintings that move and work in a way I could not foresee. This freedom of action and imagination is what allows philosophy and theory to breathe. Through figuration and abstraction I suggest function and meaning, but this is just a suggestion. Maria Thurn und Taxis: I believe life is marked by ambiguities, social, biological as well as ethical. My fascination lies in tensions, or polemics that are inherent in these ambiguities and their relationship to the human condition. These relate to questions between life and death , or pain and happiness. Initially, my drive to paint is an emotional one, deeper than reason and prior to intellectual analysis. Richard Crawford, Amy Gadney, Alex Gough, Maggie Kennedy and Roland Osita Nwankwo will be showing work at the halfway stage of their part-time MA. About City & Guilds of London Art School City & Guilds of London Art School (founded in 1879) occupies a distinctive position in art education. It is the only art school in London offering degree-validated courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels which has retained its independent status, and has not been absorbed by the University of the Arts or any other higher educational conglomerate. In Fine Art, the School is known for the quality of its teaching in the traditions of painting, sculpture and printmaking within a thoroughly contemporary context. This specialist position provides an important alternative to the priorities of most other, larger art schools, and lends a high degree of focus to the students involved. Recent graduates such as Barnaby Hosking, Alastair Mackie, Alex Gene Morrison, Oliver Clegg and Hugo Wilson have gone on to establish themselves as some of the leading young contemporary artists of their generation. The School’s independent status has been crucial to its remaining small and specialist. All courses are taught by practicing artists and career professionals with international reputations including Andrew Grassie, Reece Jones, Mathew Collings and Jasper Joffe. The core MA staff include Tony Carter, Robin Mason, Teresita Dennis, Andy Bannister, Reece Jones, Kate Palmer and Jane Langley. Visiting lecturers have included: Norman Rosenthal, Basil Beattie, Paul Winstanley, Andrew Mummery, Alexis Harding, Gordon Cheung, Colin Smith, David Kefford, Anne Hardy, Tom Godfrey, Lucy Williams, Zavier Ellis, Max Attenborough, Chris Davies, Will Turner, Paul Becker, Francesca Lowe, Helen Sumpter, Nick Hackworth, Jonathan Wateridge, Neil Rumming Christian Ward.

L'odore dell'acqua Il borgo, adagiato sulla riva del fiume, è il mondo di Leo, un bambino che, con occhi curiosi ed ingenui, osserva solitario quel caleidoscopio di persone e personaggi, di vite, di odori che lo circondano. Conosceremo Ina detta D’Artagnan, la Moschettiera Clelia e le sue storie, Carlotta la levatrice, Rina l’ammaliatrice sfortunata, la contessa Bimbi in Cecconi, Giazo il freddoloso, Ivo maestro di trasgressioni, Tulio il pescatore bombarolo, Altrò il demonio e tutte le altre creature indimenticabili che lo sguardo del piccolo Leo rendono magiche. Un dipinto dell’Italia degli anni cinquanta che ci arriva attraverso la voce di un bambino, osservatore implacabile e sognatore che crea con le sue parole un prodigio di vitalità contagiose tra episodi esilaranti, quotidiane malinconie ed un misterioso omicidio irrisolto. L’odore dell’acqua altro non è se non il profumo del ricordo, della delicatezza e della forza del passato che, come il fiume, non smette di scorrere sulle rive del borgo e della sua gente. Non so bene se si tratta di un’abitudine involontaria o se questa scelta avviene per una decisione intima della mia mente…… Ma anche oggi, domenica, tra i libri da leggere per poi scrivere la “nota critica”, senza nemmeno pensarci su, ho scelto subito un romanzo. Come sempre. E comincio col dire che il libro che ho letto, mi ha fatto veramente compagnia ... Nota critica di Flavia Lepre http://www.stefanato.altervista.org/libro.html Maurizio Stefanato nasce a Casier (TV) nel 1947. E’ la pittura che lo affascina e molte sono le esposizioni che hanno ospitato le sue opere. Tra le altre la 14° fiera d’arte di Basilea nel 1981, la Basilica Palladiana di Vicenza nel 1983, Friburgo nel 1989, l’ Arte N.Y. di New York nel 1990 , il Castello della Vaneza di Padova nel 2007. Hanno scritto di lui i critici: Salvatore Maugeri, Franco Solmi, Marilena Pasquali, Giorgio Segato, Leo Strozzieri. “L’odore dell’acqua”, Edizioni del Leone, è il suo primo libro.

SCERNI, IV EDIZIONE PREMIO LETTERARIO DEDICATO A SERGIO DE RISIO SCERNI - All’interno di un panorama così ricco di Premi Letterari quale quello italiano, il Premio Letterario Sergio De Risio, intitolato alla memoria del grande psichiatra e tenuto annualmente a Scerni (Cheti), comune in cui egli è nato, presenta una sostanziale “unicità” in quanto Concorso Nazionale dedicato ad un eminente uomo di scienza, psichiatra di chiara fama, ma anche uomo dal pensiero umanista, artefice di una scrittura poetica di intensa espressività. Il premio, che ha già visto vincitori del calibro di Eugenio Borgna, Remo Bodei, Cesare Viviani, Flavio Ermini, è giunto oggi alla sua quarta edizione. La giuria, presieduta da Renato Minore con Flavio Ermini, Filippo Maria Ferro, Giuseppe Langella, Cesare Milanese, Giancarlo Quiriconi, Jaqueline Risset, Marco Tornar e Raffaele Saraceni si riunirà nuovamente per scegliere i vincitori delle sezioni del bando di concorso. Sabato 28 agosto 2010 ci sarà la proclamazione ufficiale nella cittadina di Scerni (Chieti). Nell’ottica di ampliare i contenuti del Premio stesso, il Comitato Istituenda Fondazione “Sergio De Risio” ha deciso di promuovere la nascita di una nuova Sezione del Premio che affiancherà da quest’anno quella più propriamente letteraria. E’ nato così il Premio Arte Visiva “Artisti per Sergio De Risio”. La città scelta per ospitare questa nuova sezione è quella di Lanciano (Chieti), “in quanto tra le più culturalmente e storicamente rappresentative del nostro territorio”. La forma scelta per questa nuova Sezione è del tutto particolare in quanto nove pittori di fama nazionale sono stati invitati a realizzare un’opera di grande formato, liberamente ispirata ad una poesia di Sergio De Risio, appositamente scelta dalla Giuria del Premio Letterario. Gli artisti che hanno raccolto questa sfida sono Luca Bellandi, Silvano Braido, Lino Carraretto, Gaetano Memmo, Gabi Minedi, Maurizio Romani, Massimina Pesce, Ciro Palladino, Alessandro Tofanelli. La Mostra si aprirà il giorno 29 agosto alle 17,30 presso il Palazzo degli Studi di Lanciano. In occasione della conferenza stampa, in programma nella giornata di giovedì 26 agosto alle 11.30 presso la Sala Convegni di Palazzo degli Studi, si potranno ammirare in anteprima le nove produzioni degli artisti oltre al programma dettagliato dei due eventi e altre informazioni di approfondimento.
