Last rounds of the regeneration game

Article Abstract:

British Gas sponsors an annual Arts Council competition 'Working for Cities' to reward arts projects regenerating cities. Many of the 1993 applications were unprofessional and failed to provide easily visualised plans. The judges selected a shortlist of David Watkin's abstract at Braintree Leisure Centre, Tabor, Essex, Bruce McLean's sculpture at Ludgate, Tim Chalk and Paul Grime's frieze at James Street Station, Liverpool, and Tess Jaray's paving outside Wakefield Cathedral.

Focus of attention

Article Abstract:

Visual impairment need not be a handicap for artists as sight problems have affected many well known artists, some indeed have given up, but others have carried on to produce some of their best work. Examples of artists with visual handicaps include Degas, Monet and Pisarro; art historians and eye surgeons though do dispute the type of handicap and the effect produced. Two young artists with defective sight, Jonathan Huxley and Jennifer Packer, describe their work.

Left to his own devices

Article Abstract:

William Heath Robinson, according to his son was a shy illustrator who would be amused to see his strange contraptions built for display. Originally a serious magazine illustrator before turning to humorous sketches of intrigueing and useless machinery, Heath Robinson was a retiring man. Renewed interest in his art has resulted in a London exhibition and a book about his work. It is possible that a permanent museum of his work may be built.
