| woMEn exhibition @ University Centre Milton Keynes Posted: 09 Apr 2013 09:59 AM PDT 
Following the highly successful opening for this project at The Project Space, MKG in January, we are delighted that it is now on show at UCMK Gallery who are hosting it throughout April.
The exhibition is the culmination of a series of workshops commissioned by Inter- Action MK in 2011 in which artist Elizabeth Beston (aka ShutterBetty) was invited to work with two groups of local women. Many of the women had been supported by the St Francis’ Children’s Society’s Birth Connections project, a service that offers support and counselling to birth families living without their children. The aim of the workshops was to enable the participants to contemplate and express their personal experiences.
The aim of the workshops was to enable the participants to use photography as a self-referential and autobiographical tool to consider, contemplate and express visually their personal experiences. The self-portrait has long been a powerful tool used creatively by female artists, including Claude Cahun, Frida Khalo and Cindy Sherman.
To accompany the series of superbly poignant and revealing images by the St.Francis participants, workshop facilitator ShutterBetty will be showing a selection of her self-portraits, exclusively shot and post-processed on mobile devices. Through this exhibition, ShutterBetty hopes to show how accessible the expression of self through photography is to anyone who owns a mobile phone with a camera, and that expensive equipment is not necessary to create works of photographic art.
This exhibition celebrates and explores the genre on a local level, sharing the diverse application of self-portraiture and showing the powerful, personal and imaginative art works that can be created by both artists and non-artists alike. The women’s images later became the inspiration and catalyst to invite other locally based established and emerging female artists to contribute work of their own to complement the work of the women’s groups.
Said Director of Inter-Action MK, Adrian Pinckard, “We’re absolutely delighted to be part of this important project which has enabled these women to work with a practitioner of Elizabeth’s standing and use the powerful medium of photography to get across their thoughts and feelings on their experiences. The resulting images are revealing and insightful and stand as powerful visual testaments to personal experience – a fine example of art at its most integral and honest. We are extremely grateful to Elizabeth for leading this project. Elizabeth’s own personal photographic work is very powerful and poignant and so she was a perfect choice for this project”
8th-29th of April
200 Silbury Blvd, Central Milton Keynes
Open Mon-Thurs - 8.30-8.30pm | Fri - 8.30am - 5pm

| Scribal Gathering Posted: 09 Apr 2013 09:08 AM PDT  Was it because we suggested last month that the year had cast off her ermine gown in favour of a strapless verdant little number, that we have been cast into the coldest spring since 1963? You all remember 1963 - it was the winter of love: Hypothermia began in 1963, which was rather late for me, between the end of the Chatterly ban, and the Beatles' first LP, or something like that.
Anyway, enough larkin' about, Scribal Gathering is back on the second Tuesday of April for a sub-Siberian snowcase of music and poetry, assuming the food parcels have arrived by then and we've all been able to dig our way out of our emergency shelters and the polar bears haven't got us.
This month's special guests are Alan Bainbridge, taking the mic as the featured poet, and Ernest Herb, the one-man house band, covering themselves in deep-heat oil and getting up against the radiators. Plus the shut-that-door open-mic will be welcoming all performers of any style, genre and especially those with Antarctic survival skills, to play, perform, set fire to the furniture and generally try to stay alive until the Red Cross gets here.
So if you want to have one last evening of open mic music and poetry entertainment before facing the very real prospect of dying of frostbite whilst wearing all your coats at once with the central heating full on, then wrap yourself in goose fat and tin foil and try and get to the Crown for a gathering that the archaeologists will be talking about in years to come. Join us.
Where: The Crown, Market Square Stony Stratford
When: I'm going outside. I may be some time.
How: These scribbled words and our dead bodies must tell the tale.
The Crown, Market Square., MK11 1BE Stony Stratford |

The work features a sisterhood of nuns who work in a small amusement park near Rome, and shows the artist asking the nuns questions related to value, happiness and spirituality as they ride on rollercoasters and fish for prizes.

| Have a listen to Pearl Handled Revolver on Secklow Sounds Posted: 09 Apr 2013 03:56 AM PDT  Pearl Handled Revolver have the Blues. Not the slow, mournful Blues
sat on a porch bemoaning hard luck, bad signs and ill fated liaisons
at cross roads. Nor the 12 bars hammered into mediocrity and
engrained like spilled beer and nicotine into the carpets of pubs up
and down the country. Wednesday 10th April 6pm on Secklow Sounds.
