Art Safari: This was the Future - Barbican ConservatoryThe finale of the 12th Annual Prescot Festival of Music & the Arts will feature Robert Howard's four-movement Festival Suite. The regal themed event in Prescot Parish Church on Sunday 26th June at 7.30pm will feature South Liverpool Orchestra who are conducted by Robert. The suite can be considered as the composer's own version of works such as Britten's Simple Symphony as it mainly uses material composed as a teenager and later orchestrated or revised. The suite also acknowledges Malcolm Arnold's dance suites as a tribute to his passing in 2006.
Created in 2006/7, the Suite was compiled for and first performed (twice) by the Knowsley Youth Orchestra, conducted by Simon Gay, initially for the Conference of British Youth Orchestras at the then Kirkby Civic Suite in 2007 and then at the 3rd Prescot Festival (also in 2007). The piece features four movements: I - Procession (1995), II - Dance (1994), III - Folksong (1993) and IV - Like Clockwork (a 2003 KYO commission that pays homage to Prescot's clockmaking heritage). Full details of the concert, including how to buy tickets, can be found on the Prescot Festival website (http://ift.tt/25sMoOB)
Robert Howard's celebratory anthem, Jubilate Deo, is set in English and has been written specifically for Prescot Parish Church Choir. It is dedicated to Rev. Peter Cowley (Prescot Parish Church) and has been composed for a first performance during Choral Evensong, just prior to the orchestral concert above, on Sunday 26th June 2016 at 6.00pm in Prescot Parish Church, again as part of the 12th Annual Prescot Festival (http://ift.tt/25sMoOB). It will be performed by the Parish Choir, organist Tim Hall, and conducted by the composer.

Unruly bodies and minds in the medical museumA new artwork will go on show at Shandy Hall in Coxwold this summer, inspired by the museum and the author Laurence Sterne, who lived there in the 1700s.
Artist Anne Vibeke Mou is creating a temporary window for Shandy Hall’s panelled dining room, which will be displayed from 1 June to 1 October 2016.
Laurence Sterne was the author of ‘The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman’, as well as being the vicar of Coxwold, near York. While living at Shandy Hall he also wrote ‘A sentimental journey through France and Italy’, although he died before this story could be completed. These two works have given him an international reputation.
One of the recurring themes in Sterne’s books is the passing of time and this is one of the influences on Anne Vibeke Mou’s artwork, created especially for Shandy Hall.
The artwork, which is called ‘A Window for Shandy Hall’, also reflects the author’s use of marbled pages in his books, which turned each book into an artwork in its own right.
The commission is part of the Meeting Point project, managed by Hexham-based Arts&Heritage, which has paired artists with nine museums in the North East and Yorkshire, to create new pieces of work inspired by the museums and their collections.
Visit the Shandy Hall website - http://ift.tt/1supGpD - for opening times.

New artwork inspired by author Laurence SterneSouth East Dance has launched a new website called The Red Line, a site which enables users to interactively explore the process of making performance. It aims to encourage and support dramaturgical thinking within the personal experience of the preparation, making and presentation of performance work.
The Red Line is the brainchild of South East Dance’s Dramaturg in Residence Lou Cope and is inspired by the French phrase ‘le fil rouge’ (referring to the ‘common thread’ that runs through the heart of a show, or in this case - a making process). It is part of South East Dance’s Dramaturg in Residence programme, supported by Jerwood Charitable Foundation.
The site is for artists, makers, choreographers, dramaturgs, producers and performers, at any stage in their careers. A host of artists including Ben Duke, Charlotte Vincent and Dan Daw have already shared content on the site to explore and demystify their own processes.
South East Dance is asking anyone involved in performance-making to take a look, explore the site and get involved by submitting content as well as exploring content submitted by others.

In Certain Places invite you to take part in The Expanded City symposium - a day of presentations, conversations and site visits within the 'City Deal' areas of Preston.
The symposium is part of a three-year programme of artworks and events, also entitled The Expanded City, which aim to raise questions and generate debate about the City Deal - a national scheme, which aims to deliver new jobs and housing, by addressing strategic transport, environmental, community and cultural infrastructure challenges - and the wider issues associated with contemporary approaches to urban planning.
Within Preston, the City Deal scheme will take place in three zones on the periphery and in the centre of the city, and includes the development of over 5,000 new homes, as well as new roads and amenities. In Certain Places has been invited to inform these developments, and the Expanded City symposium is the first in a series of activities, which will take place until 2019. Alongside presentations about urban demographics by economist Paul Swinney, and the production of community spaces by multidisciplinary design collective The Decorators, the day will also include presentations of work-in-progress by artists Olivia Keith, Gavin Renshaw, Ian Nesbitt and Ruth Levene , and writer Lauren Velvick, who have been undertaking action research in the City Deal areas.
The symposium will take place in Woodplumpton and District Club, and will include a bus tour of the City Deal areas and lunch at a country pub. The bus will also collect participants from Preston Railway Station, and return them following the event.
Tickets are £10 and include pub lunch and bus travel. A limited number of free tickets are also available for independent artists and Preston residents. Email info@incertainplaces.org to reserve a free place.

“It’s a challenging fundraising climate for arts and creative organisations at the moment, and so it’s increasingly important to use all the tools at our disposal to make the best case for our work”, said Luisa Golob, co founder of Culture Everywhere and CEO at Ignite Imaginations.
She continued, “This event will feature talks from fundraisers and leaders in the sector, offering the opportunity for small arts organisations to connect with other creative organisations working in the region, and share ideas and inspiration.”

Speakers at the event will include Melanie Iredale, the Deputy Director of Sheffield Doc/Fest, Bill Vince, Senior Relationship Manager for the Arts Council England and Danny Antrobus, also a founder and director Culture Everywhere.
Melanie will speak from her experience as a fundraiser, looking at how Doc/Fest uses a variety of income sources and collects data to support its fundraising. Meanwhile Bill will present from a funders point of view, sharing what the Arts Council England has done and is doing to help the arts and culture sector.
Danny Antrobus will introduce Culture Everywhere, a web platform for fundraisers in the arts and cultural sector. He says, “As fundraisers, we rely on hard and soft evidence to help us develop projects, produce funding bids, and understand our impact. I will be speaking about the growing role of data in our sector, and the continued value of story-telling for fundraising.”

Technology Eats Nostalgic or Vice Versa: Remembering to Forget, Forgetting to Remember
Technology evokes technology to become anachronistic and obsolete. Thus, technology is slated for being obsolete. Landscapes, which are made and changed by technology are clearly separated from nostalgia but may still become nostalgia at some point in the future. Nonetheless, no matter how much technology attempts to create new landscapes to separate the present from the past, nostalgia waits patiently in the crevices, waiting to be unearthed.
My works are an attempt to show technological objects without purposiveness. When we do not exactly know the true purpose of objects, they come to us as aesthetic or mysterious objects that lack any clear purpose. Therefore, objects lose their respective existential purposes deeply embedded in our conventional bias towards them to become ‘another being’ in the abstract place of ‘something’; the value of objects is degraded and becomes equal in the space. For this, I have been reconsidering these objects with a sort of hypothesis that if they were discovered someday in the future and if we do not know what they are, these objects would need to be reconsidered or might be thought of as another being. Therefore, my works need to be considered as a different, perhaps new, archeological form, and the intention is for them to be viewed as a type of an excavated or discovered object in the hypothesis.

Call Out: Musicians & Performers for Sybarite Nights EventThe Muse Gallery presents
Charlie Warde: Concrete Legacies
curated by Iavor Lubomirov
2.06.16 - 19.06.16
Opening night: 02.06.16, 6.30 - 9.00pm
The Muse Gallery is delighted to present Concrete Legacies, an exhibition of works by Charlie Warde, curated by Iavor Lubomirov. The show brings together 3D ‘plastic paintings’, gold plated etchings and a film from his residencies at the Goldfinger Factory in Trellick Tower and at The National Trust’s 2 Willow Road – both designed by Brutalist architect Ernö Goldfinger, the latter his Hampstead home.
Warde represents an upsurge in interest in Brutalism amongst artists, at a time when Britain is rapidly divesting itself of its ‘failed’ Brutalist heritage. For artists like Warde, Brutalism has become source material – something to be observed, quoted, appropriated – a part of art history.
Since his MA, Warde has been obsessively researching Goldfinger’s buildings and collecting deep technical data by trawling through archives and interviewing academics and architects. He uses traditional painter’s materials such as raw pigment and mediums to accurately model concrete and aggregate pieces, and then assembles these into precise copies of weathered architectural fragments, but with a painter’s eye for their colours and processes of colouration.

utopia:dystopia in the world
Walcot Chapel
At Walcot Chapel the idea is floating in the air that there is currently a shared utopian project underway across a globe - to transform humankind’s troubled relationship with the natural order. Many millions believe that, if this utopian dream is not fully realised, the dystopian consequences will be unprecedented in human history.
Among the visually impressive and thought-provoking works on display in the chapel is the celebrated Swiss artist, Ester Vonplon’s, requiem to dying glaciers. The Italian duo Fonte Poe make serious play with the sounds of cicadas and the Manchester performance artist, Ruby Tingle, does the same with the movements of birds. Sophie Erin Cooper and a team of volunteers float a flower meadow above the visitors’ heads and Doug Clark blocks their way with a waterfall.
utopia:dystopia in the mind
FaB 2, 94 Walcot Street
In a subterranean setting at FaB 2, 94 Walcot Street, just five minutes walk from the chapel, the mood is much darker, both literally and metaphorically. The recently departed writer, J.G.Ballard, once said that the true dystopia in the dystopia of the mind. This exhibition explores the unquiet mind, inviting visitors to face the dystopias we carry within us.
Lizz Brady and Lizzie Dunn create a dystopian environment that evokes the tangled world of discarded technology and alienating thoughts that few of us can escape from. Konstantinos Grigoriadis confronts us with the kind of phobias most of us have buried just below the surface. But even in this dark space all is not lost. Our qualities of kindness, intellect, passion and creativity -and, above all, collaboration- are celebrated in these exhibitions and events, just as they were in Thomas More’s original slim volume.

His new title,The Fireman, is an end-of-the-world thriller set in a world where much of the population has been wiped out by a deadly spore. The book is garnering stunning early reviews, and has already been optioned for a major film release. Join us for this special event celebrating the launch of one of 2016’s most prominent thriller titles with one of the genre’s very finest.

Joe Hill at Derby Book FestivalAfro-Brazilian Workshop - Stockwell
MARACATU ESTRELA DO NORTE
We are a London-based group playing music, singing and performing dance from the Pernambuco region of northeast Brazil. Formed in 2002, we were the first group of this style in the UK. We play Maracatu de Baque Virado – a vibrant style of music that dates back hundreds of years and is rooted in Afro-Brazilian culture.
Maracatu is powered by the alfaia (bass drum) whose powerful and syncopated rhythms punctuate the beat of the caixa (snare drum) gongue (cowbell), and agbê (shaker). It’s music that goes straight to the soul! The beautiful and colourful costumes of the dancers accentuate the stunning choreographies that are steeped in the traditional devotional dances that came to Brazil from Africa, creating a powerful experience of sights and sounds!
We are a community based group that allows people to participate in a fun activity, learning about the styles of music, singing and dance of the north east of Brazil, and to be part of shows, workshops and carnival parades, in order to support and spread Afro-Brazilian culture from Pernambuco. We also promote events that support the culture of Maracatu de Baque Virado and regional music from Pernambuco.
As well as having a professional band that performs at clubs, festivals and other venues in the south-east and around the UK, Maracatu Estrela do Norte runs workshops throughout the year and takes a 50 piece community group on the streets of Notting Hill Carnival every summer.
We hold weekly drum and dance rehearsal sessions at 7.15 pm on Tuesdays at Stockwell Park Community Centre, 21 Aytoun Place, Stockwell/Brixton, SW9 0TE.
Prices £8 per session Or Membership £25 per month. Instruments are provided; you are welcome to bring your own if you have them.
