| 19.08.02 GET INTO THE GROOVE AT HUDDERSFIELD ART GALLERY |
The
record is dead. Metal CDs reproduce sound, spinning out of view to the listener.
But the possibilities of vinyl are still open to exploitation by sound artists,
composers and turntablists. Resurrected in a new form, vinyl recaptures
its excitement, sound and dominance. A new exhibition at Huddersfield Art
Gallery brings together the quintessential exponents of ‘vinyl disc
culture’, putting the needle back into the groove and the groove into
art. |

| 15.08.02 Government Minister to open international conference bringing sport and culture together in Bradford |
Tessa Jowell, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, is opening a major international conference in Bradford. Ms Jowell MP will address the conference which will bring together the leading figures and decision makers in the worlds of culture and sport, in the run up to the European Capital of Culture 2008 designation. The aim of the conference is to examine the role of sport in today’s culture and look at how sports initiatives - from professional and large-scale events to amateur and grass roots projects - can be catalysts to wider social, cultural and economic regeneration. Culture/Sport/Diversity, to be held at the National Museum of Photography, Film & Television (NMPFT), from 25-27 September, is the third in a sequence of annual conferences exploring the issues that contribute to cultural capitals. The three-day event is being produced by The Culture Company, in partnership with Sport England, Bradford Metropolitan Council, Diversity 2002 and Eurocities and is sponsored by Bradford 2008, who are leading the city's bid to be the European Capital of Culture in 2008. | |

| 13.09.02 ARTIST TO PUT BRADFORD IN FOCUS FOR A NOVEL PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT |
Artist Julian Flynn is turning his attentions to Bradford for his next major work – taking on a project which will offer a fascinating insight into a day in the life of the city. Julian, 38, of Batley, will take to the streets taking one picture every 30 seconds over a period of 24 hours, prompted by a bleeper, in a systemised and objective visual exploration. The photographs will be taken from waist level and will therefore not be ‘staged’ shots. Julian, who is being sponsored by Ricoh cameras, has chosen Sunday, September 29 to take on his ‘endurance test’ and will try and take in as comprehensive a variety of districts environments as possible. Julian will be assisted in his endeavours by a willing team of volunteers. | |

| 10.08.02 RACE, SEX, CLASS THE ANATOMY OF THE HORSE |
Completing a series of three exhibitions which explore the relationship between science and art, the Terrace Gallery, in collaboration with The Culture Company, presents a unique juxtaposition of the work of 18th century artist George Stubbs and contemporary artist Mark Wallinger. Viewed side by side, the exhibition offers a fascinating glimpse into the similarities between the two and the marked influence Stubbs exerts over one of the most thought-provoking and innovative artists of today. Set within the sumptuous surroundings of Harewood House, the Terrace Gallery is an unrivalled venue in which to examine two artists whose work speaks profoundly of class and ‘Englishness’. | |

Jeepers
Creepers! Prepare to be scared as the The Terrace Gallery at Harewood House
presents new and recent work by Mark Fairnington Exciting contemporary artist Mark Fairnington sends a shiver down the spine with two series, focusing on all things creepy crawly. In both the new Membracidae and earlier Mantidae collections, Fairnington marries science and art with a look at insects both in the field and those preserved for many years. Up close and magnified, the paintings incite a compelling fascination – and the same deliciously spine-tingling sensation as finding a spider in the bath. |
