| Parkour photography exhibition Posted: 14 Jan 2012 10:38 AM PST  By Andy Day A series of fascinating photographs exploring the non-competitive sport of Parkour, launches at The Public on 27 January. The first solo exhibition by British photographer Andy Day, curated by Birmingham based curator Caitlin Griffiths, forms part of the Art of Architecture, a series of exhibitions that looks at how artists engage with the built environment and influence the world around us. Parkour is a high energy sport that involves moving through landscapes by running, climbing and jumping. Since 2002 Day has documented the rise of the phenomenon through its communities in London, France, Nicaragua and India, capturing participants navigating obstacles in the most efficient way possible, using only their bodies. The flâneur and the traceur (a Parkour practitioner) both have their origins in Paris. In the nineteenth century the flâneur walked the city in order to experience it and over 150 years later traceurs in the Parisian suburbs found new ways of moving through the very same spaces. Day's photographic work focuses on the built environment and social interaction, and through Parkour he documents new ways of seeing and moving through the city. The exhibition aims to challenge our understanding of how spaces are used and appropriated, and offer alternative ways of looking at urban design that might otherwise be ignored or forgotten. Linda Saunders, Managing Director of The Public said, "Parkour is a fascinating sport which requires a great deal of skill and determination. Andy Day's brilliant photographs capture the energy of the practice and provide a fascinating insight into how we interact with the environment around us in an artistic manner." The Parkour Photography exhibition is a Hereford Photography Festival touring exhibition. The exhibition runs from 27 January to 20 May 2012, Wednesday to Saturday, 10am – 5pm, Sunday, 11am – 3pm, and is free to visit. The Art of Architecture also includes a fascinating 3D structure designed by award winning architect Will Alsop, video work from acclaimed film makers John Wood and Paul Harrison, suspended sculptural forms from Heather and Ivan Morison and photography from Rick Davies.

| Martin Parr’s Black Country Stories Posted: 17 Jan 2012 01:00 AM PST A free exhibition of Martin Parr's Black Country Stories from Walsall will take place at The New Art Gallery Walsall from 20 January 2012 to 7 April 2012 (Tuesday to Saturday - 10 am to 5 pm). A special evening viewing will take place on Thursday 19 January between 6 pm and 8 pm; everyone welcome. West Bromwich's Multistory, one of the UK's leading community arts agencies, has commissioned one of the country's most important and influential Magnum photographers, Martin Parr, to document everyday life in the Black Country. Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Black Country Stories brings Martin Parr, on a photographic journey across the Black Country visiting markets, temples, factories, social clubs, tea dances, dog training classes, summer fetes and a whole mixture of other places in Sandwell, Walsall, Wolverhampton and Dudley. This special display showcases some of the photographs Martin has taken in Walsall throughout 2011. Over the last 12 months, Martin has visited local leather and metal factories and met the people that keep these industries alive as well as various places of worship that reflect the cultural diversity of the borough; he's also experienced Walsall's vibrant social scene; sampled traditional Black Country foods and joined the local Royal Wedding celebrations! You can also listen to a selection of stories from Walsall residents talking about their lives, work, families, and experiences of the Black Country and share your own experiences in the 'memory wall'. A final exhibition will take place at the gallery in 2014, followed by exhibitions in Wolverhampton and Dudley. Martin Parr: "We decided to focus on the revitalisation that the many immigrant groups have brought to the area and, at the same time, look for examples of traditional Black Country life that are in good health. As the lid was slowly eased open, we realised the power of the material that we were unearthing." Emma Chetcuti, Director of Multistory: "When we thought about developing this project, Martin Parr was the obvious choice. It has been a fantastic experience working with Martin and the project has developed and expanded in some really exciting and surprising ways as Martin has uncovered more stories for us to celebrate and document." Multistory and The New Art Gallery Walsall are grateful to Launer London, Kirkpatrick Tradtional Ironwork, J&E Sedgewick & Co, and Pat Gorman Pies for donating some of their products for the display. Black Country Stories is a multi-commission programme, produced by Multistory, that invites outstanding artists to document and record life in the Black Country. Black Country Stories commissions internationally renowned documentary photographers, film makers, and authors to tell amazing stories that celebrate everyday life in the Black Country.  | ||
| Artworks celebrate Stirchley’s history and point to the making of new prosperity Posted: 19 Jan 2012 12:56 PM PST
Two of three planned temporary art works called 'Prosperity' have been installed in Stirchley. The pieces feature imagery symbolising the area's former industries and prosperity. Place Prospectors wish to add something beautiful to the environment, an area that was once home to many successful manufacturing businesses and a prosperous High Street. The first piece, located above the International Supermarket (previously Westprint and Glen's Café) references the local willow beds on which locals earned a living, bees to represent the resident's industrious nature and the beautiful Stirchley clock which hangs in Stirchley Library. The piece also shows pigs, an abiding memory, kept by locals for the Co-operative Supermarket who has had a presence in Stirchley for many years, and a crucial ingredient in Jewells award-winning pork pies, popular in the 1940s. Located in the window of Stirchley Prospects, Place Prospectors headquarters on Pershore Road, another piece references Cox Wilcox – local lamp makers and Guest, Keen and Nettlefolds, famous manufacturers of nuts, bolts, and screws. The piece also features cocoa plants in reference to the Cadbury's factory nearby as well as horseshoes, a symbol of good luck for the future of the area. Another piece, yet to be installed shows the older factors in Stirchley's prosperity, the millstones of nearby Hazelwell Mill and the bridging of the River Rea. The pieces will be located along the Pershore Road until April 2012. A series of events organised by Place Prospectors celebrating Stirchley will take place over the next months: Stirchley Street Railway Station will be reclaimed from what is now known as Bournville Station, a memorial walk will take place to commemorate Hazelwell Lane, soon to be lost due to the impending Tesco development on the site, and a series of workshops will discuss the future of Stirchley Park located at the back of the Co-operative Supermarket.
