Nicholas Glass reports (2008.01.21):
"A landmark exhibition of paintings from Russia opens this week, despite Moscow's earlier refusal to send the artworks to London.
Russia was worried that people could claim the paintings had been looted from their relatives during the 1917 revolution, but a change in the law was brought forward providing immunity from seizure.
The exhibition will include works by Cezanne, Renoir and Picasso. At long last the pictures are here and they include the works of Matisse. They arrived last week, and the hang was completed over the weekend.
The show is called From Russia - French and Russian masterpieces from the four main Russian museums, including the Hermitage, the Pushkin and the Tretyakov.
It was almost the show that didn't happen. In Mid December, the Russians got cold feet, fearful that there might be claims against some of paintings.
Only a swift change in the law here, to prevent such claims, made it possible. And the Russians were re-assured.
Everything has turned out fine in the end but things had looked pretty bleak on December the 19th.
The fact of the matter is that some of these paintings were appropriated from their original Russian owners during and after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.
Two obssesive collectors, both of them wealthy textile merchants, lost some 600 works.
Ivan Morosov, shuttling to and from Paris, favoured Bonnard, Gaugin and Cezanne. He filled his Moscow house with French Impressionists.
Sergei Shookin was perhaps the bolder of the two. He would buy Cubist Picasso.
Every wall in every room in his mansion seems to have been covered.
The direct descendants of these great Russian art collectors are still tenaciously seeking compensation.
As we know , the Russians have been closing down British Council offices in St Petersburg and elsewhere, suspicious that they are being used for more than cultural purposes.
But they happy to lend these paintings, having been given government assurances they'll get them back. There's both prestige and money in sending them here. The Russian Museums are getting a loan fee." |

I've decided to remove the other two parts, out of fear of being suspended for copyright infringement. But hold on with the stones & clubs there, ladies and gentlemen, as I've posted the complete file on Google Video, and I'm pretty sure it will linger there for the time being (Miller after all, is not such a big hit among the internet community).

Sir Jonathan Wolfe Miller, CBE (born 21 July 1934) is a British neurologist, theatre and opera director, television presenter, humourist and sculptor. He lives in Camden, North London.
He is a Distinguished Supporter of the British Humanist Association, an honorary associate of the National Secular Society, and was appointed president of the Rationalist Association in 2006. [2]
Miller was appointed a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in 1983 and in 2003 was Knighted for his services to the arts. He is also a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in London and Edinburgh, and a Foreign Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
In 2004, he wrote and presented a series on atheism, Atheism: A Rough History of Disbelief (on-screen title; but more commonly referred to as Jonathan Miller's Brief History of Disbelief) for BBC Four TV, exploring the roots of his own atheism and investigating the history of atheism in the world. Individual conversations, debates and discussions for the series that could not be included, due to time constraints, were individually aired in a six-part series entitled The Atheism Tapes. He also appeared on a BBC TWO programme in February 2004, called What the World Thinks of God appearing from New York. The original three-part series is slated to air on Public Television in the United States, starting May 4, 2007, cosponsored by the American Ethical Union, American Humanist Association, Centre for Inquiry, the HKH Foundation, and the Institute for Humanist Studies.
Bottom line - the archetype of the secular Jewish Intellectual. |

Kitty Carlisle Hart, whose long career spanned Broadway, opera, television and film, including the classic Marx Brothers movie "A Night at the Opera," has died at age 96, her son said Wednesday.
Hart had appeared for years on the popular game show "To Tell the Truth" as a celebrity panelist. The entertainer was also a tireless advocate for the arts, serving 20 years on the New York State Council on the Arts. In 1991, she received the National Medal of Arts from the first President Bush.
Well known for her starring role as Rosa Castaldi in the 1935 movie "A Night at the Opera," her other film credits included: "She Loves Me Not" and "Here Is My Heart," both opposite Bing Crosby; Woody Allen's "Radio Days"; and "Six Degrees of Separation."
She began her acting career on Broadway in "Champagne Sec," and went on to appear in many other Broadway productions, including the 1984 revival of "On Your Toes."She made her operatic debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1967 in "Die Fledermaus," and created the role of Lucretia in the American premiere of Benjamin Britten's "Rape of Lucretia."
From 1956 to 1967, she appeared on the CBS prime-time game show "To Tell the Truth" with host Bud Collyer and fellow panelists such as Polly Bergen, Johnny Carson, Bill Cullin. Carlisle's film career began in 1934; in "Murder at the Vanities," she sings "Cocktails for Two," a song later made famous in a spoof version by Spike Jones.
"A Night at the Opera" the following year was the Marx Brothers' sixth film and their first for MGM, where they shifted after their career at Paramount sagged at the box office. MGM's Irving Thalberg added more romance to the Marxes' formula, bringing in Carlisle and Allan Jones to play the young opera singers in love, and the film became a huge hit.
Elegant and sophisticated then, and now - with hair, makeup and dress perfectly in place - Hart has been called a "great dame." Hart was born in New Orleans on Sept. 3, 1910. She attended the Sorbonne, the London School of Economics and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
She and Hart married in 1946 and had a daughter, Catherine, in 1950. He died in 1961 at age 57. In later years, she lived on the next block from Kaufman's daughter, Anne Kaufman Schneider, and the two would confer when a revival of a Kaufman-Hart play was in the offing. In a 2002 Associated Press interview, Schneider called her "my best friend." She served on the state arts council from 1971 to 1996, including 20 years as its chairwoman. In 1988, she testified in Albany to a legislative committee amid complaints that the council had funded gay-oriented projects.
"We fund art," she said. "We are neutral as far as anyone else is concerned. We don't fund anyone's point of view."Hart's special concern for women's role in society led to her appointment as chairwoman She was once asked which she loved more - the movies or television.
"I think television had more of an influence on my life than the movies because with television you came into somebody's home," Hart replied. "People remember me from television. They don't even remember me from 'A Night at the Opera.' They have no idea that I played the lead and did all the singing. But they do remember television, particularly 'To Tell the Truth."
Besides Christopher Hart, 59, a director, writer and producer, survivors include her daughter, Dr. Catherine Hart, and three grandchildren |

Google Tech Talks
November, 29 2007
In the 1980's, new learning algorithms for neural networks promised to
solve difficult classification tasks, like speech or object recognition,
by learning many layers of non-linear features. The results were
disappointing for two reasons: There was never enough labeled data to
learn millions of complicated features and the learning was much too slow
in deep neural networks with many layers of features. These problems can
now be overcome by learning one layer of features at a time and by
changing the goal of learning. Instead of trying to predict the labels,
the learning algorithm tries to create a generative model that produces
data which looks just like the unlabeled training data. These new neural
networks outperform other machine learning methods when labeled data is
scarce but unlabeled data is plentiful. An application to very fast
document retrieval will be described.
Speaker: Geoffrey Hinton
Geoffrey Hinton received his BA in experimental psychology from Cambridge in
1970 and his PhD in Artificial Intelligence from Edinburgh in 1978. He did
postdoctoral work at Sussex University and the University of California San
Diego and spent five years as a faculty member in the Computer Science
department at Carnegie-Mellon University. He then became a fellow of the
Canadian Institute for Advanced Research and moved to the Department of
Computer Science at the University of Toronto. He spent three years from 1998
until 2001 setting up the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at University
College London and then returned to the University of Toronto where he is a
University Professor. He holds a Canada Research Chair in Machine Learning. He
is the director of the program on "Neural Computation and Adaptive Perception"
which is funded by the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research.
Geoffrey Hinton is a fellow of the Royal Society, the Royal Society of Canada,
and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence. He is an
honorary foreign member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a
former president of the Cognitive Science Society. He received an honorary
doctorate from the University of Edinburgh in 2001. He was awarded the first
David E. Rumelhart prize (2001), the IJCAI award for research excellence
(2005), the IEEE Neural Network Pioneer award (1998) and the ITAC/NSERC award
for contributions to information technology (1992).
A simple introduction to Geoffrey Hinton's research can be found in his
articles in Scientific American in September 1992 and October 1993. He
investigates ways of using neural networks for learning, memory, perception and
symbol processing and has over 200 publications in these areas. He was one of
the researchers who introduced the back-propagation algorithm that has been
widely used for practical applications. His other contributions to neural
network research include Boltzmann machines, distributed representations,
time-delay neural nets, mixtures of experts, Helmholtz machines and products of
experts. His current main interest is in unsupervised learning procedures
for neural networks with rich sensory input. |

Jake & Dinos Chapman: Works from the Chapman Family Collection
31 Oct—7 Dec 2002
Hoxton Square
Presented at White Cube the exhibition Works from the Chapman Family Collection comprised an extraordinary assemblage of rare ethnographic and reliquary fetish objects that subsequent generations of the Chapman family have diligently added to over a period of seventy years. With the exception of a very few isolated works generously exhibited in Africa: The Art of a Continent at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, the collection has never before been displayed in its shameless entirety. Highlights of the Chapman Family Collection include virtually unknown primitive trophies and initiation masks from the former colonial regions of Camgib, Seirf and Ekoc, and as such are recognised by accredited experts as being the most noteworthy in the whole wide world. In terms of the genealogy of our own contemporary culture, the Chapman Family Collection traces the latent influences impressing upon it - those mute voices found simmering in the ritualistic embers of a primordial dawn. In its monolithic stoicism it reverberates with the history of a culture pillaged by industrial colonialism. However, its beauty remains both intact and contagious. In fact, ever since twentieth-century colonialism began to rake virgin soil for essential minerals and discovered in the objects of primitive art a seam of rich and untouched treasures, its own lineage was irrevocably altered by the unwitting destructive interruption of paradise. The Chapman Family Collection shows how fruitful economic endeavour ignited the artistic passions of Picasso, Matisse and Braque, whose interest in ethnographic art began to dissipate the long shadow cast over it by Western culture. Through the visionary sight of these untimely artists ethnographic art was both reconciled and fused with Modernism, creating timeless forms and enabling Global culture to harmonise in a singular poetic language.
To this unfathomable end The Chapman Family Collection enables the viewer a palpable and clear-sighted passage to appreciate their inner and outer experience - to witness the core emotive force shared by primitive analogue and technological artist alike. In its bountiful breadth the Chapman Family Collection is capable of showing art forms crystallised into their purest and simplest intensity and sensuality - where the voices of the deceased and living crave, like us, for the divine while fearing the powerful riddle of infinity. The primitive naive artist, like the modern, knows fully well that the world runs on power. Power from water, wood, wind, petroleum, and nuclear power heats our homes and carries us from one place to another. It cooks the village food and takes the philanthropist to distant lands and helps him carry back the elegant artifacts that enrich our understanding and appreciation of beauty. We know that political and economic power organises, motivates, and runs the societies in which we live, but spiritual power is perhaps the most potent of all, because it provides humankind with the ability to order our world and to understand Nature in the fateful elaboration of our well-being and our disease, our safety and disaster. The Chapman Family Collection is an embodiment of skillful control that demonstrates that the divine manipulation of spiritual power is one of the principle functions of ethnographic art.

Here is a famous song by the classy Julie Wilson.
Julie Wilson (born in 1924) is an American singer and actress. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Wilson headed to New York City during World War II and found work in two of Manhattan's leading nightclubs, the Latin Quarter and the Copacabana. She made her Broadway debut in the 1946 revue "Three to Make Ready". In 1951, she moved to London to star in the West End production of "Kiss Me, Kate" and remained there for four years, appearing in shows such as "South Pacific" and "Bells Are Ringing" while studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. She returned to New York to replace Joan Diener in "Kismet". Additional Broadway credits include "The Pajama Game" (1954), "Jimmy" (1969), "Park" (1970), and "Legs Diamond" (1988), for which she received a Tony Award nomination as Best Featured Actress in a Musical. She also toured in "Show Boat", "Panama Hattie", "Silk Stockings", "Follies", "Company", and "A Little Night Music". Wilson's television credits include regular roles on the Australian series "The Young Doctors" and the American daytime soap opera "The Secret Storm". She also appeared in a Hallmark Hall of Fame telecast of "Kiss Me, Kate" and numerous episodes of The Ed Sullivan Show. In 1983, she found her niche and forged her reputation as a cabaret performer, known primarily for her dramatic delivery of torch songs and show tunes. Her recordings include My Old Flame, Live From the Russian Tea Room, Julie Wilson At the St. Regis, and collections devoted to the songbooks of Cole Porter, Kurt Weill, Harold Arlen, Cy Coleman, Stephen Sondheim, and George and Ira Gershwin.
Enjoy Julie's style! |

The Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp is one of the oldest Fashion Institutes in Europe. It was founded in 1663. Although Antwerp may not be the traditional capital of Fashion, it certainly has no problem keeping up with competition in London and Paris. 'The six of Antwerp' first sprang Belgian fashion design to the international forefront. One of the six is Walter van Beirendonck, current head of the fashion academy. Other famous alumni now work for Jean Paul Gaultier, Kenzo, Jil Sander and Sonja Rykiel. Atwerp's fashion shows attract talent spotters from the biggest fashion houses, who swoop in on the hottest new designers. We talk to two students and one ex-student from the class of 2007. And bring you clips from the 2007 fashion show in July. |

The Cosmic Lounge presents Trip-Hop Music: 'Starless II' by Craig Armstrong.
"Armstrong studied musical composition, violin and piano at the Royal Academy of Music where he was awarded the Charles Lucas prize and the Harvey Lohr scholarship for composition. He was also awarded the FTCL Fellowship in composition, and won the GLAA Young Jazz Musician of the Year in 1982. Upon graduation he became resident student composer for the London Contemporary Dance School. Upon completing his studies, Armstrong served as Music and Dance specialist at the Strathclyde Regional Council in 1984.
During the 1980s, Armstrong's composition work included commissions from the Arts Council for various classical ensembles in Scotland, and he also served as resident composer at the Tron Theatre in Glasgow. During this time he also received a Composer's Award to study electronic music, and maintained a parallel career in the Scottish Pop music scene, as a member of bands Hipsway, Texas and The Big Dish.
In 1990, his music theatre group Performance performed at the Glasgow Mayfest, and he composed a number of works for film, television, and stage productions by the Traverse Theatre, the BBC, and the Royal Shakespeare Company, among others. By the late 1990s he had gained critical acclaim for his work on the Baz Luhrman films Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge! (which won him a Golden Globe for Best Original Score in 2001). He has also done orchestrations with Pop artists such as Massive Attack, Madonna, U2, Suede, Pet Shop Boys and The Future Sound of London. During this time he also released his first album of his own orchestral work, The Space Between Us, in 1998.
During the early 2000s Armstrong continued to produce film and orchestral work, including commissions for the Barbican Centre and the Scottish Ensemble. His most recent film scores are for the Academy Award winning Taylor Hackford film, Ray for which Armstrong won a Grammy Award, and Oliver Stone's 2006 film World Trade Center."

By Sam Jury and Jo Love

'We Are Just Watching' runs in three sites in the Great Eastern Hotel; the rooms' internal TV Channel 19, the main lobby and the 19 th century Masonic Temple. Each comprises of looped video mimicking real time where characters repeatedly play out a mini Beckett style set piece of tragicomedy brought into corporate and leisure-time Britain. Mystifying routines and rituals emerge and vanish, like an existential stream of consciousness where no pattern exists and nothing is going to happen.
Unadvertised to hotel guests, Channel 19 will run the 24 hour looped video of a four panel split screen shot from a ceiling height camera located in various hotel rooms and corridors. Shot in night vision, the scenes are frequently empty spaces periodically interjected with mini dramas - two gentlemen in kilts going through a seemingly military routine, a man in suit, shoeless, repeatedly running down a hallway, women in bathroom robes lined up in some kind of procession and packs of businessmen in scenes of endearing group bonding. The viewer will find them only by chance, surfing the multitude of entertainment already on offer.
In the Masonic Temple themes of ceremony and hierarchy are played out to a single viewer expecting the passive role of the watcher. Lured into the space by an atmosphere of a show about to begin, the viewer is placed at the heart of the work, when the tacit agreement between audience and performer is abruptly broken.
Through lack of apparent human authorship, this work ostensibly presents us with CCTV style video and yet these collections of silent semi-narratives are redolent of a Buster Keaton film or scenes from Kubrick's 'The Shining' interspersed with clips from a Reality TV show or Youtube. The dark undercurrents and subconscious collective neurosis are counterbalanced by a sense of absurdity making parts disconcertingly funny. Ultimately, 'We Are Just Watching' exploits notions of observed reality by interweaving numerous acts into layers of potential meaning. To quote Beckett ' Reality, whether approached imaginatively or empirically, remains a surface, hermetic'.
