a burnish'd throne
A newly devised performance of Shakespeare's Antony & Cleopatra (Act 2 Sc.2) adapted and directed by Ed Viney, was performed outside the newly completed Jubilee Gardens WC Pavilion by Mark Power Architects, on Sunday 1st July 2012.
The barge she sat in, like a burnish'd throne,
Burnt on the water. The poop was beaten gold,
Purple the sails, and so perfumèd that
The winds were love-sick with them; the oars were silver,
Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
The water which they beat to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes. For her own person,
It beggar'd all description: she did lie
In her pavilion—cloth of gold, of tissue—
O'er-picturing that Venus where we see
The fancy outwork nature.

mark power's 'jubiloo'
I have been following the progress of Mark Power's building at Jubilee Garden's on the South Bank, opened by Kate Hoey, MP for Vauxhall on Thursday 24th May.
It was good to meet the staff who will be managing the super plush public convenience. Kim (pictured on the burnish'd throne) and her colleagues have been recruited from the Waterloo Job Shop and will on site throughout the Jubilee celebrations and beyond.

The launch event was serenaded by a local community choir who had concocted some appropriate lyrics for the building.
guess the lyric ...
and as it happened - january to may 2012

never where kentish town
An exhibition of photographic work by
Kim Cunningham
Katya de Grunwald
Jan Dunning
Kelly Hill
Jason Shenai
Five photographic artists who all live in Kentish Town have come together to show work in the brand new community space. The exhibition coincides with the opening of the renovated Kentish Town Community Centre.
Each artist approached the common fact of living in Kentish Town in a different way and the work varies from the highly personal and aesthetic to what might be described as record photography. In addition to still photography the show includes an installation of projected video.
Millennium Images is delighted to be supporting the exhibition. Millennium sells photographic reproduction rights, especially for fiction book covers, and arranges photographic exhibitions and commissions. All five artists have work placed with Millennium.
Private View
Thursday 3rd May 2012 18.30 to 20.30
Exhibition open
Saturday 5th to Sunday 6th May 2012 12.00 to 18.00
Kentish Town Community Centre
17 Busby Place NW5 2SP
Kim Cunningham's work entitled A Portrait of a (London) Village is the sequel to her original project about growing up in a small village in Ireland. Here, Kim explores her new home of Kentish Town as part of a conglomeration of small villages, despite the urban nature and anonymity of city living.
Katya de Grunwald's photographic series A Mere Interlude depicts unremarkable everyday moments and familiar objects. Domestic spaces continue to be a focus in her work.
Jan Dunning combines video and sculpture, creating a playful mobile that features the silhouettes of NW5 landmarks; some recognisable, others less familiar.
Kelly Hill's project explores the lives of three individuals all living in Kentish Town. The images have been compiled in books and tell a very personal story about the individual and the worlds in which they exist.
Jason Shenai's work concentrates on the shops of Kentish Town Road. It is the old and individual shops that seem to thrive and whilst they seem to never change, there are always minor adjustments being made to their make up.
