'Original choir'

‘The singers were also remembered for their Christmas number one There's No-one Quite Like Grandma in 1980.

Competition organisers Sainsbury's and website Friends Reunited had appealed to the choristers to get in touch and join with the 700 schoolchildren to perform the song with Brian and Michael at the centre, which houses Salford Council's collection of Lowry's works.

Sainsbury's Choir of the Year manager Sophie Balch said: "With more than 700 children singing at the Lowry Centre it offers a one-off opportunity to relive the Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs success.

"Having the original St Winifred's School choir makes it even better." ‘

Marina Abramović- Spirit Cooker & Satanist💀☠
23 September 2023 - 1 January 2024
Main Galleries | Burlington House
ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS - RA !!!!

WHY is she given such prominence?
WHO funds her?

The RA in its 'unique location' is 'surrounded by auction houses, commercial galleries and neighbouring collections.'

'Performance Art' - What is this REALLY?

'Marina Abramović Hon RA has earned worldwide acclaim as a performance artist. She has consistently tested the limits of her own physical and mental endurance in her work, subjecting herself to exhaustion, pain and even the possibility of death.

In her early work Rhythm 0, Abramović invited audiences to freely interact with her however they chose – famously resulting in a loaded gun being held to her head. Her later work The House with the Ocean View saw the artist live in a house constructed in a gallery for 12 days. Held in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York, the performance invited audiences to witness and share in the simple act of living.

This major exhibition presents key moments from Abramović’s career through sculpture, video, installation and performance. Works such as The Artist is Present will be strikingly re-staged through archive footage while others will be reperformed by the next generation of performance artists, trained in the Marina Abramović method.

Live performance art can be both startling and intimate. For Abramović it also has the power to be transformative. Experience this yourself through performances of Imponderabilia, Nude with Skeleton, Luminosity and The House with the Ocean View.

Different works will be reperformed during the run of the exhibition, so no two visits will be the same.'

'While climate change, sustainable architecture, and green technologies have become increasingly topical, issues surrounding the sustainability of the city are much less developed. The premise of the book is that an ecological approach is urgently needed both as a remedial device for the contemporary city and an organizing principle for new cities..' 🙄

Fairytale Forest (18+) #Symbolism #Fairytales #RedShoes #Disney
Brothers Grimm/ Charles Perrault/ Anton Pieck/Willy Vandersteen

1. The Fairytale Forest (Sprookjesbos in Dutch) is a 15-acre wooded section of the amusement park Efteling in the Netherlands, where a number of well-known fairy tales and fairy tale figures are depicted by animatronics and buildings. Most of the figures are inspired by the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, and Charles Perrault.

2. ‘Charles Perrault (January 1628 – 16 May 1703) was a French author and member of the Académie Française. He laid the foundations for a new literary genre, the fairy tale, with his works derived from earlier folk tales, published in his 1697 book Histoires ou contes du temps passé. The best known of his tales include "Little Red Riding Hood", "Cinderella", "Puss in Boots", "Sleeping Beauty", and "Bluebeard".’
