A Road Divided, Todd Hido

Something for the time of year ... an evocative road trip around San Francisco by Todd Hido just published in foam magazine. 

millennium catalogue

The latest Millennium Images Catalogue has recently been released and it is good to have work in such a very lovely object. 

The catalogue showcases work by 325 individuals - established names, such as Chris Harrison, Nadege Meriau, Simon Norfolk, Michael Ormerod, and Edgar Martins, appear alongside many rising young stars. 

I love the paired down approach and ‘naked bound’ spine that exposes intricate orange stitching. The catalogue was designed by Studio Thomson. 

You can view more of the work here   Millennium Images Volume V, download a PDF version here, or if you are an image user and want to handle the thing yourself you can order a copy by emailing  mail@milim.com.

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.
