Karen Loader’s artistic interests centre around the differences and similarities between place and space. She sees place as somewhere real and tangible, that can be experienced through the senses, and space as something abstract that is felt rather than observed. Her work explores the transition from one to the other and how both are inevitably intertwined.
Her artistic process begins with walking around a place and documenting it photographically, noting things such as architectural shapes, the textures of walls, the odd juxtapositions of objects and the colours that stand out. For this exhibition, she explored her local neighbourhood – the area between Holloway and Highgate, taking in the back streets and alleyways that branch off the A1 carriageway. Moving through a place physically helps her to construct a rhythmic interpretation of it and, when combined with focused observations, the character or personality of the place starts to emerge. This is a purely subjective act and the outcomes can vary depending on the place and her perception of it.
Back in the studio, she works with these elements of rhythm and observation taking them into intuitive drawings that play with spatial divisions and colour variations. The final stage is to scale up these two processes into larger paintings that hopefully retain some of the mood of the place in which she started. Her aim is to convey an atmosphere of place that can act as a trigger for memory and association and encourage the viewer towards a more contemplative reading of the work.
She often works within the set parameters of a grid format which allows for infinite possibilities to explore spatial and structural juxtapositions, but she is always looking for the moments when the mathematical harmony is disrupted by a slippage in symmetry. Her use of a muted colour palette in thin layers of acrylic paint adds to a sense of disorientation as the eye struggles to focus on a particular point and the mind jumps from shape to shape as it attempts to make connections. Colour plays an important part in creating both the harmony and the disruption of space and is strongly related to the original starting point of a place.
Karen has lived in Holloway for over 25 years. She studied sculpture and installation at the University of East London graduating in 1999. She is currently studying for an MA in Fine Art at The City & Guilds of London Art School. Her work has been widely exhibited since 2002 and she has curated a number of exhibitions in the UK and abroad.

With a contemporary pop-folk score performed by a company of actor-musicians, Paper Hearts is about passion and finding your place in the world, among books.

Roger was a late starter as a musician playing his first concert aged 28. He was one of the founding members of the Chevalier Brothers in the 1980s and played about 1,000 gigs all over the world with them. He then signed to Acid Jazz Records and started releasing highly regarded solo albums under the name of The Beaujolais Band & Vibraphonic. With Vibraphonic he had a number one hit on the US jazz charts and as a result he was signed to Disney’s Hollywood Records in LA and released two albums for them. Since 2000 Roger has concentrated on more acoustic jazz. Roger has played with most of the top jazz musicians in the UK along with Slim Gaillard, Pee Wee Ellis and others. Roger has also been prolific in the studio working on albums for many pop artists including Robert Plant, Paul Weller, Roni Size, Kirsty MacColl, Morrissey, Fairground Attraction, Rumer, Duffy, Alison Limerick, Alexander O’Neal, Omara Portuondo, Ed Motta, Shola Ama and many others.
In a blindfold test the main man of vibes Gary Burton thought that Beaujolais was ‘one of the top vibes players of the USA’. Favouring the music of 70s New York and writers like Bobby Hutcherson. McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson and Wayne Shorter, as well as his own material with dryly humourous titles like Joe Beam and Mr Non PC, this is a near perfect band of great players whose sole aim is to give us ‘a couple of hours of seriously inventive improvisation’ based on great tunes, understated grooves and swing

Claudio Monteverdi’s L’Incoronazione di Poppea, the third of his three surviving operas, rightly occupies an elevated position in the history of the genre. It is a masterpiece of text setting and musical invention, at a time when opera as we know it today was very new, and certainly not performed in anything like the same way. Monteverdi was blessed to be able to set a particularly fine libretto, written Giovanni Busenello, perhaps the first great opera librettist, and Da Ponte’s literary forefather.
For HGO, performing this wonderful work is a very important milestone, particularly given that we coincide with the 450th anniversary of Monteverdi’s birth. Indeed, we will be performing it on Monteverdi’s exact birthday, Thursday 18th May. This production also marks the first time that HGO will perform an opera in its original language (other than English), together with the first time that we will perform with surtitles. This is an indication of our pledge as a training opera company to give our singers a complete experience of performing opera, as well as giving our audiences a presentation of this work with not only the authentic music, but also the authentic text.
HGO will be joined by an array of period instruments for Poppea; two harpsichords, chamber organ, two theorbos, viola da gamba, violone and violins. This promises to be a vibrant and exciting production of one of the greatest works of art of the seventeenth century, and one not to be missed.

With Annie Whitehead | trombone, Richard Bundy | piano
Neville Malcolm | bass, Winston Clifford | drums
From her earliest beginnings busking on the streets of London to her appearance at the first ever Glastonbury Festival and her two solo albumms recorded in Memphis alongside greats like the Brecker Brothers and her appearances with contemporary ‘classical’ choir The Shout, Carol Grimes is a true artist and unique presence on the British scene. Her performances of jazz, blues, the occasional standard and maybe a poem ensure that she is always one of our most popular artists; someone who inspirese real affection. With its subtle grooves laid down by Malcolm and Clifford and the declamatory shouts of the wonderful trombonist Annie Whitehead this is one of the most genuine and human attractions to be seen anywhere.

The Gaia Principle: 19 May – 1 June
How organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on earth to form a synergistic self-regulating complex system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet (involving the earth’s biosphere, atmosphere, oceans and soil). (Wikipedia)
Tom Scase’s new work is made up of disparate elements that combine to form a symbiotic whole, where the image has no words, is beyond verbal description and exists in its visual form only as a specialised component, bringing to our attention how we interact and are a part of this perilous and extraordinary nature.
His canvas is a collage of ideas, sometimes deceptively simple, others as a cacophony of intricate brush strokes from which a strange and beautiful form emerges.
Tom is an elected member (2001) of the prestigious London Group. He has won prizes for painting and photography and has exhibited widely. He lives and works in Highgate, London.
Highgate Gallery open Tuesday-Friday 13:00-17:00

Would you like a bit of friendly help with your phone, laptop or tablet? Just head to the Highgate School Library for an afternoon of free, informal one-to-one computer familiarisation sessions over a nice cup of coffee. We do tea as well. And cake!
If you don’t yet possess any electronic gadgets, don’t worry, we do and we’d love you to come and play with them.
“This is so wonderful! It’s easy – when you know how! Thank you” says 75 year old Highgate Coffee & Computers friend, who has just worked out how to move all his pictures from his phone to his tablet.
If you want more info, give Stuart a call on 020 8347 2411 (quoting Highgate Coffee & Computers). You can also email us on highgatecoffeeandcomputers@gmail.com to tell us what you want to know more about.
Please note the volunteers at these sessions are pupils from the school, ranging in age from 11 to 18 years old. The School has a duty of care to these young people and would be very grateful if you could be mindful of maintaining appropriate interaction with them. Please consider issues such as your language, your expectations regarding the type of matter you raise with the pupils, and the sort of information that the pupils may see on your documents or particular webpages.
If you have any queries then please don’t hesitate to raise them with the members of staff at the session.
If you plan to come, it would be helpful to know, though it is not obligatory.
Warm regards
The Highgate Coffee & Computers volunteers

With period orchestra Musica Poetica
Claudio Monteverdi’s L’Incoronazione di Poppea, the third of his three surviving operas, rightly occupies an elevated position in the history of the genre. It is a masterpiece of text setting and musical invention, at a time when opera as we know it today was very new, and certainly not performed in anything like the same way. Monteverdi was blessed to be able to set a particularly fine libretto, written Giovanni Busenello, perhaps the first great opera librettist, and Da Ponte’s literary forefather.
For HGO, performing this wonderful work is a very important milestone, particularly given that we coincide with the 450th anniversary of Monteverdi’s birth. Indeed, we will be performing it on Monteverdi’s exact birthday, Thursday 18th May. This production also marks the first time that HGO will perform an opera in its original language (other than English), together with the first time that we will perform with surtitles. This is an indication of our pledge as a training opera company to give our singers a complete experience of performing opera, as well as giving our audiences a presentation of this work with not only the authentic music, but also the authentic text.
HGO will be joined by an array of period instruments for Poppea; two harpsichords, chamber organ, two theorbos, viola da gamba, violone and violins. This promises to be a vibrant and exciting production of one of the greatest works of art of the seventeenth century, and one not to be missed.
