My Mother's Cupboards & My Father's Words
No full text'My Mother's Cupboards & My Father's Words' is a miniature book. You have to get close to be able to read the text and to register the details in the photographs. It was created in 2000, for the Shoreditch Biennale, at a time when Anna Fox was inspired to make work ‘close to home’, challenging the notion of the documentary photographer as outsider.
The book pairs words by her father – gruesome outbursts by a man with a rapidly debilitating disease towards the women in the house – with claustrophobic images of her mother’s neatly organised cupboards. The result is one of Fox’s most powerful and intimate bodies of work.
The original self-published edition of the book has long been out of print. This second ‘remastered’ edition includes minor adjustments but remains faithful to the original design and has been produced in close collaboration with the artist. It is published to coincide with a renewed interest in the work (evidenced by exhibitions this year at the Barbican Centre, London, Gropius Bau, Berlin and SeMA, Seoul) and comes at a time when the realities of living closely with family members are in sharp focus
The Leach Pottery: 100 Years On From St Ives
Get PDFThis CSC exhibition focuses on a number of themes, including: works in the Leach Pottery Permanent Collection, subsequently donated to the CSC; works from Leach’s Source collection; and new acquisitions of ceramics by Bernard and Janet Leach.
The exhibition deliberately focuses on archival and object collections that Olding has been personally associated with as curator and protagonist, ensuring their gifts into the CSC and raising funds when required for purchase. He has used his expert network of Leach scholars to support research on key objects appearing in the sale room, so that very substantial new Leach collections and archives have travelled from private to public hands during his directorship; at a time when these materials are highly sought after in the secondary market

Extispicy in the Everyday: An Exploration of Human-Environment Binaries Through the Gut for The Royal College of Physicians
Get PDFThe workshop draws on Amanda’s artwork and research into the ancient practice of extispicy, divination using the entrails, to explore the thresholds between our bodies, and in particular our guts, and the natural and built environment, to re-conceptualise these seemingly boundaried entities. Amanda will introduce her artwork, and the practice of extispicy, and guide participants through activities to explore and problematise human-environment binaries. Participants will be directed to explore their immediate locale to perceive and gather materials that resemble intestines, for example, a disembowelling cable from a telephone exchange box; tree roots surfacing from beneath the ground; or coiled piping awaiting transplantation during road excavations. By noticing the hidden infrastructure of our immediate locale, we might also experience our insides within, conceptually and visually re-connecting the idea of the gastrointestinal tract being at the same time inside the body, and part of the external environment, outside the body border. Reconvening participants will share and discuss the materials and images collected whilst we eat a snack together. Participants will be invited to prepare a dish in advance, that for them, evokes the gut. It could be gut-friendly: yoghurt, sauerkraut; sausages, i.e. made from the actual gut as a casing; or formed by coils or convolutions, palmier biscuits, liquorice wheels, Swiss roll, (recipe suggestions could be sent beforehand). Through the act of eating, and subsequent digestion, absorption and excretion, we will enact a collapsing of human-world binaries, disrupting the false dichotomies and boundaries of inside and outside
Without a blink: machine ways of seeing in contemporary visual culture
No full textIn the last decade following the technological and commercial advances in digital image production and in artificial intelligence, human vision-centred understanding of visuality has changed profoundly. Machine vision technologies (MVTs) are used across a wide spectrum of activities ranging from surveillance to medical diagnosis, to adaptive visual filters on social media. This commentary calls for a rethinking of visuality that takes both technological advances and lessons learned from cultural studies into consideration

SEE!HEAR!CUT!KILL!: Experiencing Friday the 13th
No full textIn the first book ever devoted to close analysis of one of the most successful horror franchises of the last forty years, SEE!HEAR!CUT!KILL!: Experiencing Friday the 13th provides an unusual and groundbreaking look into why slashers were and are still loved by devoted fans. Instead of considering what these films say about society, culture and politics, author Wickham Clayton examines how the style of these films engages our emotions and impacts us moment to moment.
Clayton explores moments from each film in great detail to determine who we are experiencing each of these moments as. Are we a victim? Are we the killer? Are we an impartial observer? Are we coming to the movies as fans? Are we watching Part VII without ever having seen another Friday the 13th film? This book takes the reader through the ways the images, the sounds, and the editing all communicate who we see the films through. Then, Clayton considers how each sequel gives viewers, whether a longtime fan or new to the series, a ‘way in’ to the continuous story that runs through the series.
After exploring the series, Clayton shows how these slasher films do not stand separate from ‘serious’ cinema. This book provides an argument for seeing these ‘trashy’ movies as having influence and overlap with award-winning, critically-praised movies
