I will be presenting a highly varied programme of solo flute repertoire including some standard works by Debussy, CPE Bach and Eugene Bozza whilst also including lesser known pieces by Wil Offermans and Nicholas Maw. I will also be premiering a new work that I have commissioned for this recital which is a set of variations written on an original theme by Poulenc. The theme, written for solo flute, is a rare gem in the flute repertoire, seldom performed due to it’s short duration, however the set of variations on the theme extends the beauty of Poulenc’s writing and should be a real highlight of the recital.

I consider myself very lucky in the respect that I have access to a beautiful venue at Jackson’s Lane Arts Centre in Highgate, so am able to present the performance from a unique and atmospheric space rather than from my own home. I am very excited to present this recital and would love to be able to share it with as many people as I can.

I am hoping to also use the performance as an opportunity to raise money, replacing funds that I have lost due to cancelled work during this difficult period. I will be inviting donations towards this cause with a share of the proceeds also going towards supporting the NHS and Jacksons Lane as a venue who are also struggling in this uncertain time.

Online exhibition: From Here to There, Richard Layzell

We are pleased to share a new film by Richard Layzell retracing and remembering his journey to Waterlow Park.

Since the Summer of 2018 artist Richard Layzell has been in residence at LUX as our Creative Ecologist, helping us to think about and interpret the environment of Waterlow Park, in which LUX is located, as part of his wider research project The Naming. Like all of us Richard is under lockdown in London, but living in N4 he can walk to Waterlow Park during his allotted daily exercise. In his affecting new work, From Here to There he reflects on this journey and the park where he has been based for the last two years.

The Naming is a research project challenging and questioning how, through categorization and naming, we distance ourselves from aspects of the natural world and the cultural world. Inspirational figures are Jane Jacobs, Arne Naess (who chained himself to Mardalsfossen waterfall in Norway in 1970 to prevent a dam being built), First Nations beliefs in general and especially the Mi’kmaq community in Nova Scotia and the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus. The work he is producing includes discussions, performances, ‘interventions’, audio recordings, video, photography, ‘imprints’ using the earliest form of printing known as Takuhon, and an ongoing body of creative writing. He is celebrating particular trees and the songs of particular birds, especially the pied butcherbird from Australia.

Richard Layzell works in performance, video and installation – and with industry and communities – has been recognised internationally.

He has been commissioned by most of the major public galleries and museums across the UK and completed many international artist residencies. As an experienced facilitator he’s led creative workshops with people of all ages and backgrounds internationally. His groundbreaking interactive installation Tap Ruffle and Shave, commissioned by Glasgow Museums, toured to London, Manchester and Newcastle and was seen by 100,000 people. He developed a series of innovative residencies in industry, defining the role of the visionaire, expanding the artist’s role in redefining corporate culture and the community of the workplace. He subsequently applied this experience in the cultural sector with an expanded socially engaged practice, working on ambitious projects with communities in Bristol, Swindon, Glasgow, Coventry, Colchester, Liverpool, London, Shanghai, and Perth (Australia), amongst others.

His current work The Naming is manifesting in many different forms and locations, including Ephesus (Turkey), Mardalsfossen (Norway), Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Montreal, Vancouver, Skyros (Greece), London, Bristol, Colchester, Seoul, Sydney and Alice Springs.

Snapshot Photography and Highgate School’s Collection

Elaine Woodbridge has been a volunteer archivist at Highgate School for the last two years working on the school’s photographic slide collection and other projects.  Elaine has been fascinated with mid-century slide photographs since she began collecting them more than twenty years ago in South Africa.  In her journey with old slides, she has digitised and creatively edited them, shared them on social media, made art and given public talks about them.

Found photographs have an enthusiastic following in  popular culture where people do everything from collecting, blogging and making art with them, to trying to reunite them with their original owners.  The snapshots of yesterday have also influenced mainstream photography and given rise to new aesthetic traditions.  They have great creative potential and have been used by artists in a myriad of ways.  But they also contain an intimate and important record of people’s lives and society in past decades, as well as the worlds of work and education.  Elaine has read widely on this subject which finds itself at the meeting place of technology, history, popular culture, fine art and archives.

Elaine is completing a Masters degree in Archives and Records Management at the University of Dundee and previously studied Archaeology, Anthropology and Sociology at the University of Cape Town.  She is not averse to scratching around in flea markets and dusty drawers for lost photographs.  Elaine was delighted to be given the task of working with Highgate’s slide collections, showing school life in the 1960s and 1980s, which she says is a treasure trove of surprising images that open a window on decades past, and is a valuable component of the school’s archive holdings.  She asks what we can learn from them and how to understand the collection against the backdrop of British vernacular photography.

Elaine will discuss concepts of snapshot photography and offer behind-the-scenes insights into caring for and archiving a slide collection, covering storage and preservation, copyright and digitisation.  Her talk will be illustrated with stunning images from her South African collection, as well as those of Highgate School.  She will comment on the value of the collection for bringing to light the school’s changing education technology, built environment and way of life.  The 1960s to 1980s was a period on the brink of great technological and digital change.  It is a world still cherished in the living memories of many parents and alumni.

Join Elaine Woodbridge online on September 26 to hear more about this intriguing topic and see a glimpse of life at the school back in the day.
