There often seem to be concerts on a Sunday afternoon in St Helens Church, and this week the Twins Towns Society welcomed over the GYNAIKA Girls Choir from Sint-Niklaas. There are more pictures of the visit on the Twin Towns website, including a video of a Flash Mob event that the choir took part in.
The annual Foundation Art Course exhibition at Abingdon College is called ‘Wish You Were Here’ and is on until the end of the week: 10-7 Tuesday to Thursday, 10-4 on Friday. It is well worth going to see …
Paul Kilsby, the course tutor, sits in on one of the student’s exhibits. This piece shows pictures and artifacts gathered over four days in Paris tracing the route taken by a character called Nadja in a book of the same name by Andre Breton.
This exhibit shows dangling hats made from string and the unused string is shown on the floor still unravelling.
Wigs on the dark profiles make a striking image.
Do you find Humanity in this mermaid like artifact?
Just one still from an animation of some nasty false teeth that ate somebodies nose.
Memories growing dimmer and unclear as time goes by. There are a few exhibits about memory and the mind.
This could be the last picture from my old camera – showing stinging nettles by the River Ock. I think I lost the camera in the Albert Park today.
So the pictures I took today and my camera are lost. 🙁
Nethertheless you can still see a much fuller story of the pictures I tried to take on another Abingdon Blog: My Ecobuild .
Last Monday there was just bare earth where a bungalow had been demolished on Norman Avenue. A week later a whole new house has been built.
It was all made possible with German house building technique
The house was then given a traditional German House Blessing – which includes a toast by the architect. Thanks to Brigid at My Ecobuild for the picture.
I only wish I could find my own camera.
The Abingdon College Market Place performance was hit by the rain.
Performing Arts students from Abingdon College sang songs from the musicals.
They will be performing ‘Stop the World I Want to Get Off’ at their graduation show
where hopefully rain will be less of a factor.
