Walther Benjamin began to write and deliver informal radio talks for children in1929. 'Radio Benjamin', is a collection of transcripts of these radio pieces for children and adults, together with some of his writing about the medium, translated into English for the first time. Transcripts include talks for children about outlaws and outcasts, witches, robber gangs and postage-stamp forgers. Two surprises: Benjamin’s work for radio is comprehensible and also funny.<br />

This Summer I worked on the design and illustration for a hardback Folio edition of 'In Praise of Folly' written in 1512 by Desiderius Erasmus, a humanist thinker and social commentator. It has just been published, and today I received the finished item! Below are four of the nine inside illustrations: 'Folly of Superstition', 'Folly of Fools', 'Portrait of Folly' and 'Folly's Family Tree'. More information about the book and the project are on the <a href="http://www.foliosociety.com/book/PRF/in-praise-of-folly">Folio website.</a></div>

<i>The greatest of humanist scholars, Desiderius Erasmus was one of the men who ushered in the Renaissance. The leading intellectual of his era, today his most popular work is In Praise of Folly, a satire that even at its most biting is animated by a warm and lively wit. ‘In Praise of Folly is both the most notorious and in some ways the most characteristic work of the greatest European intellectual of the sixteenth century’</i> Eamon Duffy</div>

I am included in an article by by Adrian Holme, 'The Contradictions of Style' using work I produced for the V&A to illustrate his argument. Here's an excerpt:<br />
<br />
'The conscious play with style (...) has a long history, and is apparent in, for example, Mannerism, Rococo, Art Nouveau. It is a hall mark of Post-Modernism of course (think of Memphis furniture design). However, playing with style in no way escapes style. A collage such as Matthew Richardson’s produced for the V&A, reveals some of the complexities and contradictions of style. His work skilfully appropriates source materials (each with a specific and identifiable origin), in order to build something new to effectively communicate an idea. Richardson himself explains that he is interested in a utilitarian use and play of images as ‘signs’ and does not set out to create ‘style’ per se.'<br />

(One of my all time favourire literary magazines).<br />
<br />
Set in Edwardian Boston, the story plays with ideas of time slippage and 'the doppelganger': <i>'Or was he I, divided? A cutting? Which, cleaved from the stock, goes on to send forth its own roots? Or the corybantic twitching of a severed lizards tail, which eventually grows still? Were my memories his? What happens, Sirs, to the soul of the sea cucumber, when the sea cucumber is cut in two?' </i><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">Daniel Mason is the author of The Piano Tuner (2002) and A Far Country (2007).</span></i><br />

Numerous colonies of bees have been decimated throughout the world - described as 'colony collapse disorder'. It is argued that this is attributed to aspects of highly industrialised and mechanised practises of bee management. Domesticated bees are sick and dying. Only killer bees are thriving and scientists believe that by cross-breeding they could be used to bolster the immune systems of the sickening Western Honey Bee.<br />

The production is part of the UK-Russia Year of Culture. The golden image portrays the conflicted 'Prince Igor' caught between two worlds: Old Russia and the Polovtsians. Although well known in Russia (at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, passages of 'Prince Igor' were played) the opera is rarely performed in Britain. Conductor: Jan Latham-Koenig, Stage Direction: Yuri Alexandrov, Set and Costume Designer: Vyacheslav Okunev. Graphic design: Beam.<br />

The cinema seats about 20. The van is incredible - the front glass turret like something borrowed from a WW2 Flying Fortress Bomber. These Bedford vans were originally ordered by the UK's (Orwellian sounding) 'Ministry of Technology'. The vans toured factories to 'educate' workers on the wonders of new materials and industrial processes. There is a great article with a lot of information, on the ever great <a href="http://bldgblog.blogspot.co.uk/2010/09/vintage-mobile-cinema.html">BLDGBLOG</a><br />

The centre has had had a re-vamp and a change of the collection layout. Amongst the items in the 'Masterpieces' show that I picked up on was a photograph by Peter Henry Emerson, an early romatic photographer of the Fens and an intricate 1963 architectural model for the UEA campus designed by Denis Lasdun. I feel excitedly poised somewhere between these two spaces/places.<br />

I was sent the 1881 Catalogue of Books for the Richmond Library. As I opened this fragile object, it split (by chance) between the listing for ‘god’ and ‘gold’. I realised the catalogue charted a time of flux and the conception of 'belief' was shifting from the religious to the scientific and social.<br />

<a href="http://www.houseofillustration.org.uk/release/coverage-of-what-are-they-like/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">What are they like?</span></a> 'The House of Illustration' asked 16 celebrities to reveal their favourite things. They were partnered with 16 artists who created images. The works were auctioned at Sotheby's in December to support the work of The House of Illustration. Celebrities included Stephen Fry, David Walliams and Florence Welch. Artists included Sara Fanelli and Graham Rawle. I was given Jeremy Paxman, who said he liked the Scottish Highlands and Dylan amongst other things!<br />

Madge Gill (1882-1961) had no recognition in her lifetime - she was a spiritualist and created work through a spirit guide she called 'Myrninerest'. Many pieces include a female figure - possibly self portraits. She is included in Jean Dubuffet's Collection d'Art Brut in Lausanne, but most of her output is owned by Newham Council. Quite a few years back I bought a magical drawing by Madge - here it is.<br />
