Thursday

Artist Penny Payne is my studio guest next Tuesday, June 1. She is one of the artists who is showing work at Site Festival 2010 ... the Stroud Valleys' Open Studios event starting on June 12.

Her new work is stark and very exciting...and in the interview she explains how this change in her work came about. She also tells how fine art became a passion in her life...the family influences, and the places which influence her new art. The festival catalogue describes her work as, ' Minimalist landscape paintings: pen on gesso.' Listen in... and then go and see her ... she'll be showing with Carolyn Galloway and Caroline Payne at 1 Jubilee Cottage, that's in Jubilee Road, Nailsworth.

The Full Story – biography and the bardo of the west
Talk: Friday 4th June 7.30-9pm, £ 5
A complete biography includes the stages after life. Horst Kornberger has pioneered a participatory approach to biographical work and in this talk he shares some of his research into artistic processes at the threshold.
Workshop – biography and the bardo of the west
Saturday 5th June 10am- 5pm, £ 70
This is an introduction to new ways of working with the inner and outer levels of biography. Through creative writing, acting and picture trading we will explore the journey from memory to imagination, the seven year cycles and the stages of the afterlife.
Community Alignment and the new Myths
Talk: Sunday 6th June 7.30pm – 9pm, £ 5
In the past stories and myth aligned communities with their future. Today, they have shrivelled into mission statements and statutes, resulting in social alienation and stagnation. Horst will talk about the power of myth to shape reality, the creation of symbolic capital as future investment and the three alignments that enable communities and organizations to realise their full potential.
Honey, Money and Bees
Talk: Tuesday 8th June 7.30-9pm, £ 5
This talk explores the nature of exact imagination in relation to the bee crisis and offers insights into the threefold commonwealth as a practical movement towards a sustainable future.

Charity of the month
The Encephalitis Society ...a keen-eyed person in the Encep head office spotted my mention in this blog...and emailed to say 'thanks'.
That email led to another etc etc as they do, and the outcome is that my 4-to-5 guests on June 15 will be Charlie + Rachel Stanley-Evans whose baby daughter caught the virus two years ago when she was one..she recovered and is now a thoroughly naughty three-year-old, says Charlie with relief.
It will be a fascinating interview...Encephalitis hits at any age: I had it when 59. So make a date in your diary for that! Charlie and Rachel are both busy business people...yet with looking after two young daughters as well, still find time to raise money for The Encepalitis Society. http://www.encephalitis.co.uk/

Tell them you heard them on The Art Lot!

My last 4-to-5 guests, singer Jenna Monroe and pianist/perfomer James D'Angelo can be seen in concert three times this weekend...on Friday May 14 they are at The Isbourne Hoistic Centre, in Cheltenham, then on Saturday May 15 they are at St Mary's Church Hall, in Painswick, and on Sunday May 16 at Deer Park Secondary School in Cirencester.

 The Cheltenham concert is "a scintillating evening of cabaret music featuring the heart-warming voice of Jenna Monroe [pictured here] and the lyrical pianism of James D'Angelo"...and those of you who heard them live on The Art Lot will know this to be true...

 This is from 7.30 - and you can book on 01242.254321 for £8.00.
The Saturday and Sunday concerts are charity events in aid of The Asha Mission, an orphanage in New Delhi struggling for funds...Jenna's daughter works there. It relies solely on donations...so go along, enjoy an evening of great music and give! give! give! to a great cause.

 On Saturday, the Painswick concert starts at 7.30; on Sunday, the Cheltenham concert starts at 4pm. The suggested donation is £7.00.

 Do catch them at one of these events...you will not be disappointed! And after the concert, introduce yourself to them and say you heard about them on The Art Lot Slot!
