We're delighted to be screening Bata-ville on Thursday this week at the Architekturmuseum, München. This is part of their excellent show all about Zlin.
Well done. I'm sorry not to be available for another "Personal Appearance".
For any East Londoners who were hoping for a spot of digging at Abbey Gardens next week end you'll be sad to hear that our tree planting event will NOT now be held on January 16th as advertised. The weather has been so cold that the tree nursery have not been able to supply the young trees as planned, so we are keeping our fingers crossed for better weather and will confirm a new date ASAP ...
Even if the trees had been delivered Karen would probably still have been snowed in up in Cumbria - as far as I can tell she hasn't really been out since Christmas!
Fans of Frieze mag will have spotted this unusual ad designed by me: Grizedale Arts, for whom I am web thingummyjig, designer and allrounder - are in the fortunate position of advertising a round of residencies for artists, internships and even a proper job working at their glorious Lawson Park HQ in the Lake District.
Deadline for apps is - coincidentally - my,
Robert Burns and Virginia Woolf's birthday, Jan.
25th.
For application

The ever popular What Will The Harvest Be? Webcam is back online in time for the snow!
The 'down-time' is still a mystery but thanks to Keith Roberts at Newham Homes for being the one to finally find a code to the room where the camera is powered from - we're not sure why but Keith's very presence appears to have jogged it back into action!
We've had a wonderfully successful first season and want to
thank everyone who has got involved with the garden, from funders
to seed sowers, contractors to mulch movers, chefs to programmers!
The garden is still open everyday from dawn to dusk if you fancy a
quick pad round in the snow, unbelievably there are still actually
annuals in flower as well as winter produce to
harvest. We also have a lovely new What Will The Harvest Be?
sign up on the wall.
Our garden club sessions will restart in March and we will be
planting fruit trees on January 16th, for anyone who would like to
join us full details are on the website
Lastly we are very sad to be loosing Chris Cavalier our hard
working Garden Club Leader, he's off to a full time job working for
the RSPB and we wish him all the best. We will be advertising the
post for a new recruit in the early spring, so if you know anyone
who may be interested ask them to get in touch
...
With all good wishes for the holiday season and a toast to an even
more impressive 2010 Harvest!
Had a lovely evening at Cumbria's newest film festival last weekend, run by BRICarts in Broughton-in-Furness. I showed some film clips from our work, and the little-seen Pope & Guthrie short film Little Deluxe Living shot in the Lake District and Japan. This was followed by intriguing shorts by Ben Rivers and Gideon Koppel's acclaimed 'Sleep Furiously'- a beautifully shot doc set in the rural Welsh hills - was just the right thing for the audience there on the night but for me was rather too sepia tinted and genteel though there is much to admire in its restraint, pace and cinematography.
See here for a wee review
We're screening our short film 'Little Deluxe
Living' (followed by a Q & A with Karen) on Sat 5th
Dec at 6pm as part of 'A Weekend in the Country' which is
a new film festival by BRICarts at the Victory Hall in
Broughton-in-Furness in the Lake District.
