Paula Modersohn-Becker
Sitting at my desk the other day I found myself staring at this postcard I'd blue-tacked up on my studio wall. I'd found it in mum's papers after she died. I wasn't surprised to find it there...she loved children..I couldn't help wondering why the hands were so red and a little bit swollen looking...I didn't know the artist and so I took it down and had a look. This sad little image was painted by German artist Paula Modersohn-Becker.
She only had a very short life dying after child-birth at the age of 31 but during that time produced what are considered to be the "most important representatives of early Expressionism."

'South' and 'From Swastika to Jim Crow' at Amnesty International
7pm Wednesday 27 July at Amnesty International Human RIghts Action Centre, London.
South (1999)
Colour, 70mins
Director: Chantal Akerman (b.1950)
Akerman originally conceived South as a broad meditation on the American South, inspired by the literature of William Faulkner and James Baldwin. However, the racially motivated murder of James Byrd Jnr just days before the start of filming caused Akerman to rewrite the project. Byrd was beaten by three white men, chained to a truck and dragged to his death in Jasper, Texas. Taking this event as her central focus, Akerman documents the people and the landscapes of Jasper in the aftermath of Byrd's murder and attempts to understand the longstanding racial tensions in the area.
From Swastika to Jim Crow (2000)
Colour and black and white, 60mins
Directed by Lori Cheatle (b.1959)
In the 1930s, Jewish intellectuals who escaped Nazi Germany and immigrated to the U.S. faced an uncertain future. Confronted with anti-Semitism at American universities and a public distrust of foreigners, many sought refuge in an unlikely place namely black college in the segregated South. Mutual sympathy as victims of persecution and discrimination united the Jewish refugees with Black Americans. Through interviews with several surviving academics and many of their former students, a fascinating story unfolds of men and women who found a true home in a community that, living in the rural South during segregation, was as remote as possible from the world they had known.
The film screening takes place at Amnesty International, Human Rights Action Centre, 17-25 New Inn Yard, London EC2A 3EA.

Paper Girl Oxford
Paper Girl is a celebration of Art, Bicycles and the act of giving. The ride part involves riding around our beautiful city and give away bundles of art to members of the public, for free. First we need to collect some art from the people of Oxford so we're asking everyone to submit art work (the submission deadline is April 29th). We exhibit everything we receive, and throw a big party on May 6th (the day before the ride). The morning of the ride we roll the art works into groups in preparation for distributing. Last year Paper Girl Manchester gave away over 800 pieces of art in 212 rolls by bicycle, to random people on the streets of Manchester. This year Oxford is getting involved and running a Paper Girl ride too... From drawings, doodles to photography and screen prints to painting, submit up to 10 pieces of work to be part of Papergirl Oxford. Every artist will be featured in the exhibition at Oxford Cycle Workshop Training on Glanville Road. To submit work drop it in or post your it to Papergirl Oxford, Oxford Cycle Workshop Training Centre, Ashlar House, Glanville Road Oxford OX4 2DD Work should be between A4 and A1 in size. Please write your name, url and Paper Girl Oxford on your submission. By submitting work you are consenting to your work being exhibited by Paper Girl Oxford and given out free of charge to the public as part of the Cycle Oxford Festival 2011. Deadline: 29th April 2011 (don't forget) I just found out about this today....isn't a lovely idea... |
