We are very pleased the website has received such enthusiastic and positive feedback already from so many different people, blogs, channels and organisations, we (the project team) are all very proud of the results of lots of hard work over a number of years.
I am very interested in the photograph mentioned by Roger Shannon, Roger, when you’ve time could you have a look for it and then contact me, or the BMAG Picture Library, we’d love to see it and maybe acquire a copy for the collection.

Thanks,

David Rowan

I prefer the more tactile approach employed in the preraph site. The box feels restrictive on the inspiration bank site. Great to see these deep zoom functions used though!

Comment on UCE Art Department at Margaret Street to close, relocate by Michael Kilduff

Michael Kilduff — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 12:39:21 +0000

It is an unbelievably glorious art school and art as an activity of a civilised society was extolled by the Victorian city patrons who dedicated the school; one of the first provincial schools of art in Britain. I attended there and would like to see the building employed as an art museum extension. Visual arts in Britain and Europe has become more exciting in the last twenty years thanks to imaginative curatorship and large scale developments such as Tate Modern. Liverpool enjoys an extension of the Tate. So I think Birmingham deserves a more modern museum too. A lot of works simply are locked in museum basements. Well, Birmingham needs a new public attraction in it’s city center. It may also include fashion and photography, and also commercial design and arhitecture, craft history video installation and lots of travelling exhibitions can easily be hosted there. And also a cafeteria can be very easily fitted in as well as concert hall.

The main picture - THE LAST OF ENGLAND - accompanying this post reminds me that the wonderful director Derek Jarman named his artistically and politically challenging film THE LAST OF ENGLAND after this wonderful painting. I have a photograph somewhere of Tilda Swinton, who acts in the film, and Derek Jarman beside this painting in the Birmingham Art Gallery on the occasion of the film’s premiere, attended by both at The Triangle Cinema, in the sadly lapsed and lamentably undervalued Birmingham International Film/Tv Festival.

Comment on Site and Sounds - mac / Cannon Hill Park by Kate

Kate — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 09:49:44 +0000

On the mapping front, YourWhere by Kathrin Bohm was a recent project at Wolverhampton Art Gallery: http://www.wolverhamptonart.org.uk/wolves/exhibitions/003872.html?year=2009.

Kathrin wanted to illustrate over time how the Gallery is situated within the larger cultural museum and gallery network in the UK, how its visitors move across and between spaces, and how formal and informal relationships develop and interact.
