Alan Johnston
This publication, designed in close collaboration with the artist, is primarily a pictorial documentation of the artist's new installation at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds (February - May 2010). Alan Johnston was invited to use the Institute's white walls as a blank sheet of paper on which to base his drawing. Arriving in Leeds a month before his show opened, he divided the main galleries up into unequal frames, drawing directly with a pencil onto the walls in strips covering an area of about 2 square cm.

A detailed history of a vitally important year in Alabama history The year 1865 is critically important to an accurate understanding of Alabama’s present.
