Few titles sum up an era and a movement like Spare Rib. When the first issue came out in July 1972, many women were starting to question their position and role in society. The magazine was an active part of the emerging women's liberation movement. It challenged the stereotyping and exploitation of women in what was the first national magazine of its kind. It supported collective, realistic solutions to the hurdles women faced and reached out to women from all backgrounds. Spare Rib became the debating chamber of feminism in the UK. It continued until January 1993 and the full archive of 239 magazines provides a valuable insight into women's lives and this period of feminist activity.</div>

<a href="http://www.instituteofmaking.org.uk/" target="_blank">The Institute of Making</a> is a multidisciplinary research club for those interested in the made world: from makers of molecules to makers of buildings, synthetic skin to spacecraft, soup to diamonds, socks to cities. </div>
<div class="intro">
<br /></div>
They run programme of symposia, masterclasses and public events to explore the links between academic research and hands-on experience, and to celebrate the sheer joy of stuff.<br />
<br />
Its mission is to provide all makers with a creative home in which to innovate, contemplate and understand all aspects of materials and an inspiring place to explore their relationship to making.<br />
<br />
At the heart of the Institute of Making is the <a href="http://www.instituteofmaking.org.uk/materials-library" target="_blank">Materials Library</a> – a growing repository of some of the most extraordinary materials on earth, gathered together for their ability to fire the imagination and advance conceptualisation. A place in which makers from all disciplines can see, touch, research and discuss, so that they can apply the knowledge and experience gained to their own practice.<br />
<br />
Alongside the collection is the MakeSpace – a workshop where members and guests can make, break, design and combine both advanced and traditional tools, techniques and materials.<br />

Speaking at the official launch of the new <a href="https://www.museumwales.ac.uk/cardiff/whatson/?id=7801" target="_blank">Historic Photography show at the National Museum Cardiff </a>its Director General David Anderson told his audience to remember the moment. It was the start of a
great and new emphasis on what he called the most important collection in the Museum, its photographs. Thanks to the Esme Fairbairn Trust an ongoing
digitisation programme has started. Photographs originating from all departments
in the Museum covering Geology , Botany, Social History, Fine Art and more are being digitised and will form a publicly accessible database in the near future.David Anderson told us to look
out for much more around Photography than has ever been
offered before.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For now go and see this
first flowering, the most magical and varied collection of photographs and
cameras and explanations of photographic processes. This exhibition traces the evolution of photography, as a scientific process, as a social record and a medium for artistic expression.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The photographic material on display dates from the mid-19th to mid-20th century .My favourites show the beaches I love; Caswell Bay, Tenby, Three
Cliffs looking just like they do today but dotted with little ladies in full blown Victorian
and Edwardian garb, extraordinary.<o:p></o:p><br />
The exhibition continues until 19th April</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Other works are more difficult and deal in dark subjects, I am thinking particularly of </span>Dutch artist Renzo Martens 'known for his satirical and disturbing video documentaries in which he travels to war-torn countries and places himself narcissistically at the centre of the action, demonstrating how Western spectators consume distant trauma. In 2012, Martens helped found the Institute for Human Activities and initiated its five-year Gentrification Program. By means of strategic inversion Martens comments on the ways in which Western media depict the non-Western world'.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">There is to be a place in London where old family photos will be collected for </span>researchers<span style="font-family: inherit;"> to view.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><em>“We are looking for family and personal photos of everyday life, no matter if you have lived in London since birth or are a recent arrival to the city,” </em>Stefan explained to me, <em>“We are also looking for photos that depict Londoners on day trips and holidays outside of the city.”</em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This sounds like a wonderful resource in the making....and look at what else they have!</span><br />
Since opening in 1895, Bishopsgate Library has built up through its collecting policy a record of the development of photography in the capital, alongside it's ever growing collections of books, maps, directories and press cuttings. The emphasis is on the everyday life of London and the Library has specialised in collecting street photography and social and cultural images of London, rather than portraiture or people. The collections are also not limited to famous photographers.<br />
Library Collections cover London History, Labour and Socialist History, Freethought and Humanism, Co-opertaion, Protest and Campaigning, Parliamentary profiles and they hold the Lesbian and Gay Newsmedia archive<br />

Marvellous photographers like Dorothea Lang<u>e</u>, Walker Evans, and Arthur Rothstein were among the photographers who took part. In all 170,000 photographs were taken and lodged with <a href="http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/fsa/background.html" sl-processed="1">The Library of Congress</a>.

<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Scratch Platform is a brand new event in Cardiff and the showing of work on
Sunday August 31st is the first of what will be a regular event happening every
other month. The idea is to give Live Artists, Sound Artists, Cabaret
Performers, Poets and other artists who perform an opportunity to show their
work (whether it is ‘finished’, ‘polished', in development or otherwise) to an
interested and supportive audience. The showing will start at 7pm and the venue
will be open until pub closing time!<br />
<br />
Any work that is designed to be performed to an audience needs at some point to
be performed!<br />
<br />
It will be free to take part in and free to watch. There are no ‘rules’ as such
other than that any piece shouldn’t last longer than ten minutes - in order to
give everyone a fair chance. There will be no competitive element and we want
to encourage a very open, pressure free and supportive environment.<br />
<br />
It’s a lovely intimate venue and we are able to provide some technical
assistance- we have a PA, lighting rig and access to a projector and screen.
Will will also be filming the event to offer the performers a copy of the documentation
(this will be free, basically bring a memory stick or external drive and we
will copy the footage to it). <br />
<br />
At the end of each event we will have a performance from an invited artist. On
August 31st this will be <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/foxyandhusk" target="_blank">Foxy and Husk</a><br />
<br />
We hope to draw artists and an audience from the artist communities in Cardiff
and further afield. There will be an opportunity for the performers to display
business cards, CV’s and other information that they might wish to share. We
will also offer feedback forms that members of the audience can fill in.<br />
<br />
If you would like to show your work then please can you send me your technical
requirements (will you need music playback for example or a microphone(s)?) and
give me a very brief breakdown of what your 10 minute piece will be. <br />
<br />bring your friends!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">any questions? </span><br />

Taking photographs found in the <a href="http://cymru1914.org/" target="_blank">Cymru 1914 archive</a>, Williams has created a sequence of images of local soldiers and civilians affected by WW1. Excluding all uniform and references to rank, the close up

in a war where death was measured in millions.<o:p></o:p></div>

I am often asked to recommend a website to go to for Copyright free images. The Electronic Library at Cardiff Met offers many links to image databases that we recommend, some (marked with a black or a green copyright symbol) like <a href="https://tsr.cardiffmet.ac.uk/Learning/Library/eleclib/Pages/databaseatoz.aspx?resourceID=17" target="_blank">Bridgeman Education</a> and <a href="https://tsr.cardiffmet.ac.uk/Learning/Library/eleclib/Pages/databaseatoz.aspx?resourceID=109" target="_blank">Visual Arts Data Service </a>offer copyright free images for educational use.<br />
<br />
I can also recommend a single page to which you can navigate on the internet which will allow you to search a whole selection of different image databases ...not just images of art and design... made available under a Creative Commons licence.<br />
<br />
Creative Common licences all offer, as minimum, permission to copy so long as the image is marked clearly with details of who first created it (attribution). To learn more about Creative Commons licences (which are voluntarily applied by creators to their works and can apply to text, images , music and all copyrighted materials) you should go<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/" target="_blank"> here.</a><br />
To search for all those Creative Commons licensed images go<a href="http://search.creativecommons.org/" target="_blank"> here.</a> Enter a keyword and select a source to search from the range offered ( various interesting websites ) results will bring back Creative Commons licenced images, moving images and sound.VISUALRESOURCES@UWIChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05426959818769022070noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6970679659543971769.post-79844150253975075752014-04-22T05:40:00.003-07:002014-04-22T05:42:52.506-07:00Pathe News on Youtube<br />

In 1895 Charles Pathé began his quest to document the historical events of
the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. By 1914, Pathé produced the first weekly
newsreel.<br />
British Pathé, the U.K. newsreel archive company, has uploaded its entire
100-year collection of 85,000 historic films in high resolution to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/britishpathe" target="_blank">YouTube</a>.<br />

<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">https://www.youtube.com/user/britishpathe</span></b></div>
<b style="background-color: white;"><br /></b>
The collection, which spans 1896 to 1976, comprises some 3,500 hours of
historical footage of major events, notable figures, fashion, travel, sports and
culture. It includes extensive film from both World War I and World War II.<br />
The Home page displays a choice of popular uploads, days that shook the world, disasters, inventions, animals, daredevils, celebrities and compilations.

Using the
1948 Universal Declaration of human rights as a point of departure, Mark Sealy,
MBE, RPS Hood Medal, Director Autograph ABP and Founding CEO of Rivington Place
London, examines whether images of political struggle, suffering, and of
victims of violence work for or against humanitarian objectives, especially
when considering questions of race, representation, ethical responsibility and
the cultural position of the photographer.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
The talk will reflect on the imagery that has informed
perceptions of civil rights, ranging from historic events such as the Selma to
Montgomery March and Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech, to the
independence movements in many African countries as well as more recent
examples of injustice within wider global conflicts. Here the historical and
contemporary roles of photography to validate and question the case for civil
and human rights will be examined from different perspectives.<o:p></o:p></div>

Our Level 4 students are all exploring ways of making art from the concept of 'The City' this term. I have recommended the wonderful daily blog 'Spitalfields Life to them as an inspirational treasure chest of what a City can be when you look at it through its people. Posts have been categorised and can be searched by sections including Night Life, Criminal Life, Past Life, Plant, Animal and Literary Lives to name just some. Today's blog is particularly magical. <a href="http://spitalfieldslife.com/2014/01/27/giorgione-in-clapton/" target="_blank">Read here</a> about a musician and artist exploring the paintings of Giorgione by re-creating them in authentic materials in a beautiful studio in the middle of an abandoned tramshed in Clapton, London.VISUALRESOURCES@UWIChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05426959818769022070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6970679659543971769.post-33432637517279183792014-01-24T06:32:00.000-08:002014-01-24T06:32:39.932-08:00High Resolution Wellcome Images free to download and use<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

CEPIC,
the Centre of the Picture Industry, submitted a formal antitrust complaint
against Google’s use of third-party images before the European Commission on
November 8th 2013.The complaint was supported by an unprecedented coalition
of European and US trade associations representing thousands of photographers
and picture agencies worldwide.<o:p></o:p></div>

The
complaint addresses Google’s various unauthorized uses of third-party images
in its horizontal Web Search and its specialized services, in particular
Google Images. Google increasingly uses on-line images without the
rightholders’ consent, sometimes even against their explicit wishes. Since
the redesign of Google Images in January 2013, the situation got worse:
Google presents images in full size and high resolution on its site and
enables users to download them without ever having to click through to the
original website hosting the image. <o:p></o:p></div>

According to
CEPIC members, 85% of pictures found online by visual search systems are
unlawful copies and 80% of those illegal images have been spread through search
engines such as Google Images. By presenting images out of the context of their
source page, without information on the author and a hardly visible copyright
note, the new design of Google Images significantly increases this problem.<o:p></o:p></div>

The
picture industry would like an adequate balance between Google’s use of their
content and the benefits they receive in return, in particular traffic on their
websites. <o:p></o:p></div>

For
students Google images provides quick reference points for images. The
ease of reuse of other people’s creations on the web is leading to some content
creators and rights owners, such as the major image libraries, taking steps to
protect copyright by using sophisticated image-matching robots to crawl the web
and find where their images are being used without permission.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
In
the past 2 or 3 years many individuals, businesses and institutions, including
Universities , have found themselves being issued with large bills for the use
of such material on their websites without permission.<o:p></o:p></div>
