DAMIAN HIRST SEEN IN BURGER KING....
Following on from last weeks news that the Biggest, Fattest McDonalds in the world has opened up in the shadow of the Olympic Stadium....and yes, its an Eco version - sustainable, in that after the Olympics, they're going to bulldoze it after the games - here are some more facts. It will serve up to 1,200 customers an hour and sell £3million of fast food during the Games. Altogether they will serve 1.75 million ‘meals’ in 29 days, with Britons accounting for an estimated 85 per cent of customers. Not to be outdone though, Burger King have had a whopping donation from none other than Damien (I’ve got an exhibition on at the moment) Hirst! Great stuff eh? But Damien, wouldn’t half a cow be better?
ANNE BASTING
For those of us who attended the evening networking event with Anne Basting here at MMU, I think its safe to say, that we were all blown away by her imagination, passion and vision for the potential of people affected by dementia. Anne had come to the UK to speak at a conference at Keele University and kindly offered to talk to members of the North West Arts and Health Network - and what a great evening it was! She shared her work on Time Slips; the Penelope Project and some of her new developments around Shipwrecked. She emphasized the liminal nature of our work, existing between disciplines, investing social capital in people who are largely marginalised to the extreme. For me, what Anne did, was up the ante, and for those of you who couldn’t come to the event, but who read this, two things to ponder - part of her work with people affected by dementia involves not only getting to grips with Homer’s The Odyssey, but also learning passages of ancient Greek. Forget the status quo, this is aspirational stuff. Thank you Anne. These links will take you to some of her work
EVIDENCE
Last week in a comment on GlaxoSmithKlein I mentioned Ziggy Stardust as research, and I got a few interesting emails - to which - thank you. As a counter-blast to the reductionist model, I’d like to hear from you about art and popular culture that might be construed as evidence of impact, or a research methodology - particularly as an unintended outcome, or intention. I’m thinking much in the same vein as Bowies claims - the mainstream and the popular. Please get in touch.
GRUNDTVIG and Arts for Health
I am thrilled to be working with Mark Prest and Portraits of Recovery over the next two years. Alongside partners in Italy, Turkey and Lithuania we will be developing work that explores different cultural experiences of recovery and addiction through the arts. This will include informal learning and the development of culturally relevant arts and health strategy with a range of European partners.
More details soon.
Public Art, Cultural Well-Being and the
National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)
ixia is organising three briefing events on how the provision of public art will be influenced by the prominent inclusion of cultural well-being within the NPPF. The events will be led by the planning barrister, Ian Dove QC of No5 Chambers, and the cultural commentator, John Holden.

The briefing events are for arts officers, public art officers, planners, artists, curators, developers and arts funders.
The dates and locations of the events are:
22nd October 2012 - London;
