Women in Revolt!
Discover the work and lived experiences of a postwar generation of women and artists, largely omitted from art historical narratives, that changed the face of British culture A timely exploration of the work and lived experiences of a postwar generation of women artists that have largely been omitted from art historical narratives, Women in Revolt! surfaces the wealth and diversity of work created in the UK during the 1970s and '80s, a period of seismic social and political change. Across a wide variety of mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, performance, film, and photography, this extensive exhibition book reflects on how women's needs were marginalized within mainstream culture...
Laura Aldridge
For me it is about the conversation between materials and approaches, allowing the work to discuss and emphasise strategies of making and reception through different choices. The push and pull between dualities such as synthetic versus natural, object versus subject, inside versus outside runs throughout my practice and prevents the meaning of an artwork [from] becoming prescriptive. This way of working allows for a kind of language of comparison. It affords me space to articulate my interests in a way that doesn?t pin down the work or explain it away; rather, it provides me with a framework to take risks with the practice. It?s not so easy to be able to say what something is doing while you are doing it, but as long as I am inside that tension you?re speaking of, I know I am onto something.? ?Laura Aldridge.
The Inventors of Tradition
At the intersection between art, design and social history, The Inventors of Tradition is a subjective study of the history of the Scottish textiles industry since the 1930s.It brings together samples of world-class design, the archive material of individuals and companies, and documentation in the form of film and interviews.In response to this material the artist Lucy McKenzie and designer Beca Lipscombe, from Atelier, have produced a series of new works including clothing, furniture and accessories in collaborative partnership with Caerlee Mills, Begg Scotland, Hawick Cashmere, Laura Lees, Jannette Murray, Mackintosh, Muehlbauer and Steven Purvis.This book features an introduction by Atelier (Beca Lipscombe, Lucy McKenzie) and Panel (Catriona Duffy, Lucy McEachan), and texts by Lucy McKenzie, Mairi MacKenzie, Nicholas Oddy, Jonathan Murray and Linda Watson.
Residential Child Care in Practice
Written by experienced practitioners and academics, this book surveys the practice of residential child care. It takes as its starting point the fact residential child care requires workers and children to share a common life-space in which the quality of interpersonal relationships is crucial. Each chapter presents practice scenarios that highlight relevant policies and allow for the discussion of knowledge, skills, and values. Residential Child Care in Practice will appeal to child- and youth-care students, teachers, and practitioners, while also making valuable contributions to the emerging literature around social pedagogy.
Anthea Hamilton
Anthea Hamilton, one of four artists nominated for the 2016 Turner Prize, has transformed the Duveen Galleries into a giant stage for a solo performer 'The Squash' who will inhabit the gallery every day for more than six months. The entire length of the floor has been tiled in domestic-scale white tiles and structures holding sculptures from Tate's collection. Each morning the performer selects an outfit from a selection of seven elaborate costumes, each inspired by different kinds of squashes or pumpkins. Each element of The Squash has evolved from a photograph Hamilton found in a book several years ago. This showed a person dressed as a vegetable lying among vines. As she has lost the original source of the image we are left to imagine its history and intention. The artist brings together tiles, structures and costumes, inviting the performer to explore their own interpretation of the image.--Tate website.
