These were the players in the theatre of anatomy, but inevitably it was the cadaver that took centre stage. Karen Ingham explores anatomy theatres and dissecting rooms in Edinburgh, Dublin, London, and Padua -and discovers spaces in which the notion of surface is probed and dissected in the search to create structure and meaning - to find what lies beneath. The body is a ghostly presence - yet in the theatre of anatomy even the lifeless stage may be imbued with a sense of drama. ‘Dewi Lewis publishing’ Dewi Lewis Publishing http://www.dewilewispublishing.com/PHOTOGRAPHY/Anatomy.html Ha-ha: Margam Revisited Margam Park was the ancestral home of the Fox Talbots, of whom Henry was a pioneering photographer. Some of the earliest photographic images were made there. Steel made Margam Park, whose gothic mansion looks down on the town of Margam and the works formerly owned by the Fox Talbots. Today, it is Margam Country Park, owned by the local authority and a leisure facility open to the public - and to the workers of those steelworks. http://seren-books.com/photography/p/1877/ Drawn from Wales Described as “the most successful and prestigious art school in Wales”, Swansea Art School has produced an acclaimed collection of artists including Ceri Richards, Evan Walters and Alfred Janes and this book is published to celebrate its 150th anniversary. In addition to fine art, Swansea Art School has also houses the renowned department of Architectural Stained Glass, which is also featured in the book. Other disciplines taught at the art school are fully covered in the book including: design and photography. Balancing interviews with past and present staff and students with original historical research into the art school’s history, this fully illustrated book makes a valuable contribution to the growing critical understanding of the arts in Wales.

This photographic book is the result of a project jointly undertaken by the Vetch 1912-2005 project group and the photography department of Swansea Metropolitan University. “At the end of the final match of the final season at the Vetch, I looked on as Swansea supporters ripped red plastic seats from the stands and then used these usefully shaped souvenirs as improvised spades to dig lumps of turf from the pitch. The noise from the grounds dismemberment drowned out the celebration of the team that had just beaten Wrexham – this event, the end of the vetch, seemed more important than the victory that evening. This ritual was a cathartic act ninety-three years in the making…” Paul Duerinckx 2005 VFPG publishers |
