Some relevant main media news clippings,
January 11-22, 2023 - CBC doesn't seem to want to push, promote or publicize male gender hockey like AHL, ECHL, U Sports University level or Men's Junior hockey ? And Canada just won both Golds at the recent 2023 international University Hockey FISU tournament. But the Gold medal final games and in fact the whole tournament was not telecast by the CBC ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52640201721/in/datepos...
Halifax, Canada Jan 2023 - This time around the IIHF men's World Juniors hockey tournament is being held in Canada. No games were shown on CBC, and many Canadians were unable to watch Canada's finest male Junior hockey players incl Connor Badard play in their home Country and win the Gold for Canada ?
However, although CBC has ignored and failed to televise any of the IIHF men's junior hockey games played, they were sure to make daily news reports and give loads of air time focused on an alleged past scandal involving a previous men's IIHF Junior hockey team ? cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/media-centre/official-broadcaster-...
New Women's Pro Hockey PWHL - CBC will provide the new PWHL with full media coverage, massive air time, TV ads, coast to coast live broadcasts, player bios and a game each week complete with hosting and analysis,, "CBC/Radio-Canada is the official broadcaster of the Professional Women's Hockey League". However, CBC has shown a different attitude when it comes to supporting or televising pro sporting events played by male gender athletes such as the Grey Cup, the Calgary Stampede, FIFA, Copa America international men's soccer football and men's IIHF World Juniors and so many Canadians were unable to watch pro athletes like Acadia Axemen footballer Bailey Feltmate in the Grey Cup, or Nova Scotia's Jacob Shaffelburg in the Copa international Men's soccer tournament or Connor Badard in the IIHF World Men's Juniors hockey tournament ?

Atlantic region citizens placed in jeopardy when Bell chooses cost cutting over responsible public service ?
Feb 2024 - Halifax Nova Scotia,
Bell media and CTV eliminate many critical hours of local and community news programming in Atlantic Canada ?
Recent Bell Canada Corporate decisions have left many Maritimers in a weakened and more vulnerable position ? The East Coast Provinces may have been the target of severe Bell media local News cancellations and the terminations will leave many Maritimers without their crucial daily Noon hour news updates normally broadcast everyday during the week ? ATV viewers are now forced to tune into the other station where CBC tends to run world international news and only a select choice of National News, along with live news conferences put on by the PM or other liberal members ?
Aside from terminating all weekday ATV Noon hour news shows, CTV has also downsized in half the very popular and iconic , 'ATV live at five' 5 P.M. local community news program, (prompting long time popular host Jason Baxter to seek early retirement) ? Adding to the devastating loss, Bell has also terminated all weekend Saturday and Sunday local news reports that currently run on ATV ? The cancellation and elimination of so much of the local news normally broadcast in Atlantic Canada will surely threaten the safety and security especially now that there will be a 24 hour local news blackout for 2 full days each and every weekend and as much as 3 consecutive days every holiday long weekend ? And so it seems that arch rival CBC has taken over the major share of prime time live local news programming in the Maritimes ? Meanwhile, Bell is blaming the Liberal Government's new Bill C-18 for having to slash many prime time hours of local and Provincial news coverage in the Maritimes ?

It remains unclear why CBC would do this ? Was it arrogance, or was it to be mean spirited, or was it a gender bias issue due to this being Men's pro hockey, or was it maybe a lesson given out to remind Canadians just who is running this Countries main media and who controls the programming ? www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=web&rct=j&url=...

The Postcard
A Star Series postcard that was published by G. D. & D. of London. The card was posted in Fulham using a ½d. stamp on Saturday the 6th. April 1907. It was sent to:
Miss G. Brown,
62, Compayne Gardens,
West Hampstead,
London N.W.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Auntie,
We have been to
Chalgrove and found
all well.
We enjoyed our holiday.
Hope you are well.
Love from all,
Walter."
Kew Gardens
The adult fee for admission to Kew Gardens used to be one pre-decimalisation penny. It now costs £15.50. As there were 240 old pennies to the £, it is now 3,720 times more expensive to get in than it used to be. How's that for inflation?
Kew Gardens is a botanic garden in southwest London that houses the largest and most diverse botanical and mycological collections in the world.
Founded in 1840 from the exotic garden at Kew Park in Middlesex, its living collections include some of the 27,000 taxa curated by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, while the Herbarium, which is one of the largest in the world, has over 8.5 million preserved plant and fungal specimens.
The library contains more than 750,000 volumes, and the illustrations collection contains more than 175,000 prints and drawings of plants. It is one of London's top tourist attractions, and is a World Heritage Site.
The Kew site, which has been dated as formally starting in 1759, though it can be traced back to the exotic garden at Kew Park, formed by Henry, Lord Capell of Tewkesbury, consists of 132 hectares (330 acres) of gardens and botanical glasshouses, four Grade I listed buildings, and 36 Grade II listed structures, all set in an internationally significant landscape. It is listed Grade I on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
Kew Gardens has its own police force, Kew Constabulary, which has been in operation since 1847.
Frank Barlow Osborn
So what else happened on the day that Walter posted the card to his aunt?
Well, the 6th. April 1907 was not a good day for Frank Osborn, because he died on that day.
Frank Barlow Osborn FRIBA, who was born in June 1840, was an English architect based in Birmingham.
He was articled to Charles Edge, and then transferred to Samuel Sanders Teulon. He started his own practice in 1864, and was in partnership with Alfred Reading from 1876. This partnership was dissolved in 1891. At this date, Frank was based at 13 Bennett’s Hill, Birmingham.
Frank mentored Thomas Walter Francis Newton, who went into practice with Alfred Edward Cheatle and built many arts and crafts style buildings in Birmingham.
Frank was appointed Fellow of the Royal British Institute of Architects in 1872, and was President of the Birmingham Institute of Architects.
Richard Murdoch
The 6th. April 1907 also marked the birth of the English actor and entertainer Richard Bernard Murdoch.
After early professional experience in the chorus in musical comedy, Murdoch quickly moved on to increasingly prominent roles in musical comedy and revue in the West End and on tour.
He made his first radio broadcast for the BBC in 1932, and in 1937 and 1938 he featured in early television broadcasts.
Richard came to national fame when cast with the comedian Arthur Askey in the radio show Band Waggon in 1938.
Their contrasting styles appealed to the public, and they took a version of the show on tour to theatres around the country and made a film adaptation of it.
Serving in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, Murdoch met a fellow officer, Kenneth Horne, and together they conceived, wrote and starred in the radio series Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh, which ran from 1944 to 1954.
Murdoch's last long-running radio programmes were The Men from the Ministry (1962–1977) in which he played a well-meaning but disaster-prone civil servant, and Many a Slip, a panel game in which he appeared from 1964 to 1973.
Murdoch appeared on air and on stage in Australia, Canada and South Africa, and continued acting and broadcasting into his eighties.
-- Richard Murdoch - The Early Years
Richard Murdoch was born at his family's home in Keston, Kent, the only son of Bernard Murdoch, a tea merchant, and his wife, Amy Florence, daughter of the Ven. Avison Scott, archdeacon of Tonbridge.
He was educated at Charterhouse School in Surrey, and Pembroke College, Cambridge, which he left without taking a degree. His biographer Barry Took comments that:
"Murdoch's appetite for a career
in show business was whetted
by success with the Cambridge
Footlights".
Murdoch made his professional stage debut in March 1927 at the Kings Theatre, Southsea, in the chorus of The Blue Train, a musical comedy starring Lily Elsie and directed by Jack Hulbert.
He remained in the show when it opened in the West End in May of that year.
Richard graduated from the chorus to a supporting role in a tour of Oh! Letty, a musical farce in which he was praised by Neville Cardus for:
"A stretch of distinguished dancing".
In 1932 he married Peggy, daughter of William Rawlings, solicitor. They had one son and two daughters.
During the 1930's Richard gained increasingly prominent roles in musicals and revues, including the secondary romantic lead to Jack Buchanan's star, in Stand up and Sing (1932).
He also took the lead in a 1936 tour of Gay Divorce in the part played in New York and London by Fred Astaire.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) transmitted a live radio relay of Stand up and Sing in April 1932, and Murdoch was in another such relay in 1934 in an entertainment called Bubbles.
Richard's first studio work for the corporation was in 1936 in a radio show called Tunes of the Town, and during 1937 and early 1938 he took part in five broadcasts by the fledgling BBC Television service, including an adaptation of Noël Coward's one-act comedy with music, Red Peppers in which he played the Coward role.
-- Band Waggon and Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh
In 1938 the BBC teamed Murdoch with Arthur Askey in the radio series Band Waggon, where they were soon billed as "Richard ('Stinker') Murdoch and "'Big-hearted' Arthur Askey".
The smooth West End style of Murdoch contrasted with the down-to-earth humour of Askey, whose background was in seaside concert parties.
Their main slot in the weekly show took up only about ten minutes, but it caught the public imagination. They were depicted as occupying a flat on top of Broadcasting House.
Barry Took comments that their humour was a forerunner of much radio comedy to come:
"The fantasy of their living in Broadcasting House,
and the creation of such mythical characters as
Mrs. Bagwash the charlady and her daughter
Nausea and their pet animals, a goat called Lewis,
and two pigeons Basil and Lucy, preceded ITMA
and Hancock's Half Hour, and was a strong
influence on many nascent comedy scriptwriters."
Towards the end of 1938, after two series with the BBC, Band Waggon became a stage show. The impresario Jack Hylton presented the two stars and a supporting cast in a show that toured the provincial music-halls and finished with a run at the London Palladium in 1939.
The stars featured in a film adaptation in 1940.
The Observer commented that:
"They work so well together because
they find the same things funny. Each
has a special line of humour that sets
the other going".
Richard Murdoch was conscripted into the Royal Air Force in 1941, serving as a pilot officer in the intelligence section of Bomber Command, before being posted to the Department of Allied Air Force and Foreign Liaison as a flight lieutenant.
In 1943 he joined the Directorate of Administrative Plans at the Air Ministry, where he shared an office with wing commander Kenneth Horne, being responsible for the supply of aircraft and air equipment to Russia. Richard finished the war with the rank of Squadron Leader.
Horne and Murdoch quickly became friends, and as both were regular broadcasters they invented a fictitious RAF station Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh for a programme of the same name.
It went on air in January 1944, and when peace came in 1945 it became a civilian airport. The show continued successfully, with the last programme being broadcast in March 1954.
-- Richard Murdoch - The Later Years
Murdoch's later career is described by Barry Took as "varied and interesting". In 1954 the Australian Broadcasting Corporation presented a series of variety programmes called Much Murdoch, in which he worked again with Horne, who took advantage of a three-week holiday to join him.
Murdoch worked again with Arthur Askey in 1958 in the television series Living It Up, running a pirate TV station from the roof of Television House.
Richard's next major broadcasting success was the BBC radio series The Men from the Ministry (1962–1977). His character, Richard Lamb, was a well-meaning but not conspicuously bright civil servant.
Together with his equally disaster-prone superior, Roland Hamilton-Jones (Wilfrid Hyde-White) and later Deryck Lennox-Brown (Deryck Guyler), continually found the wrong answers to the pressing problems of government.
Murdoch's last long-running radio show was Many a Slip, a panel game that combined humour and erudition, in which he appeared from 1964 to 1973.
Richard Murdoch appeared in two seasons at the Shaw Festival and on tour in North America, playing Aubrey in Tons of Money (1968) and William the Waiter in You Never Can Tell (1973).
Richard toured South Africa in a comedy called Not in the Book (1974), and toured Great Britain as Sir William Boothroyd, the role created by Ralph Richardson, in William Douglas-Home's Lloyd George Knew My Father.
From 1978 to 1990, Murdoch had a long-running regular role as "Uncle Tom", the briefless senior barrister of chambers, in Rumpole of the Bailey.
In 1981 he played the headmaster in Alan Bennett's Forty Years On. In 1989 he played Lord Caversham in Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband on tour and at the Westminster Theatre; The Times commented that:
"Murdoch manages to make Caversham's
ghastly mixture of the sanctimonious, the
roguish and the bluff seem human."
-- Richard Murdoch's Death
Murdoch, a keen golfer, died at the age of 83 while playing golf at Walton Heath, Surrey, on the 9th. October 1990. He was survived by his wife and children.
UNTITLED #8, 9, 28, 17, 21, 30 (FROM THE
"INAUGURATION" SERIES) - 2009
Catherine Opie, American, b. Sandusky, Ohio, 1961
Catherine Opie's photographs include a series of portraits and American urban landscapes, ranging in format from large-scale color works to smaller black-and-white prints. Moving from the territory of the body to the framework of the city, Opie's various photographic series are linked together by a conceptual framework of cultural portraiture. Catherine Opie's Inauguration series continues her exploration of documentary photography and examines the historic significance of the inauguration of President Barack Obama. These photographs capture this moment in American history and reveal not only its glory but also the aftermath which is not revealed in the media.
The "Untitled" Series (Jan 20th, 2009) captures the aftermath of the half-million-strong gathering on the National Mall that witnessed the first inauguration of Barack Obama on January 20, 2009. A JumboTron live video feed of Barack and Michelle Obama waving to the crowd occupies the upper left of the photograph. Tall scaffolding holds aloft lighting and speakers, and vertically bisects the image. A stationary truck supports a JumboTron and waits, ready to transport the temporary broadcasting equipment and crowd barriers. Surrounding the JumboTron are the last of the people gathered to watch the historic occasion, their backs almost universally turned away from the photographer’s lens. They are uniform in layers of clothing to protect against the cold temperatures, evidenced by the rows of bare trees on either side of the image. The Capitol building is in the middle distance, pale against a wintry blue sky. The temporary nature of the gathering is suggested by the trash strewn across the ground, camp chairs, and a discarded wooden crate.
Untitled, #1 (Jan 20th, 2009) is part of a series of one hundred photographs Catherine Opie took over three days at the 2009 presidential inauguration. The Inauguration series includes portraits of individuals and groups, details of Washington, D.C., and the event preparations. The photographer took the images with a medium-format Hasselblad H2 digital camera. This photograph is about the size of an opened broadsheet newspaper, yet it documents a moment that official press images often overlook—the aftermath of large political events. Time is an important quality of the work. The term of presidency is of a set length, the crowd and its debris are temporary, and the moment Opie captures is fleeting yet iconic. The new president’s wave to the crowd is, at the beginning of his term, still buoyant and hopeful.
The mantra of Obama’s first election campaign was one of hope and change, and the jubilant crowd was large enough to necessitate the deployment of multiple JumboTrons. This image explores another side of being part of this community of celebrants, almost anticlimactic in their dissipated state. Opie’s photograph highlights the act of image making and the transmission of images as a political tool across the ages. The live feed of the Obamas stands in for a presence too far away for these people to witness with their naked eyes. This idea is extended to us, the viewers of her photograph. The image is taken from eye level to suggest our own inclusion in the historic inauguration of America’s first black president. It also suggests a connection to the community gathered on the National Mall, a site that has hosted many previous political events.
Emerging in the 1990s, Opie established an artistic voice through photographic series that investigate individual and group identities. Inauguration forms part of Opie’s wider engagement with American politics and collective action, as captured in her photographs of Tea Party rallies, Boy Scout gatherings, and antiwar marches. This series is also part of a broad tradition of documentary photography of the American landscape and its people. It is in direct dialogue with William Eggleston’s 1976 Election Eve, which charted the hours before the election of President Jimmy Carter, and Robert Frank’s photographs of the 1956 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Just fifty years after the 1956 convention, Obama, then an Illinois senator, would make a key speech at the 2006 Democratic National Convention.

Revolutions: Art from the Hirshhorn Collection, 1860-1960 hirshhorn.si.edu.
Dates: Through April 20, 2025.
"The Hirshhorn’s not like other museums in town. You’ll rarely see a run of masterpieces to match an art history textbook like you’ll find at the National Gallery of Art. The Hirshhorn doesn’t trumpet the work of its namesake founder, the way that the Phillips Collection builds exhibitions around the vision of Duncan Phillips. And the Hirshhorn isn’t a crystal-cool stage for a handful of elite artists, a la Glenstone.
No doubt, the Joseph H. Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden has a collection that can stand up to any of them. His gift to the Smithsonian Institution in 1966 comprised almost 6,000 paintings and sculptures by the 19th and 20th centuries’ most vital artists — a figure that doubled with a bequest of his remaining works upon his death in 1981.
But rarely is very much of it on view. Especially over the past decade or so, the museum has learned to love its Gordon Bunshaft-designed building, mounting ambitious installations that sometimes take up an entire minor arc of the Brutalist doughnut.
So the museum’s 50th anniversary this year is an opportunity to step back and see the collection in its original light. A chance to look back on the collection’s most important pictures, perhaps a moment to highlight new scholarship in art history or achievements in conservation. But the Hirshhorn’s not like other museums in town — and for its 50th birthday, the museum is throwing a bash.
“Revolutions: Art from the Hirshhorn Collection, 1860-1960” is a delightful romp through the permanent collection, featuring a gobsmacking number of artworks. The first of three planned anniversary exhibitions, this one focuses on modernism in all its lights, exploring the period through a truly maximalist presentation of paintings and sculpture. Better than a greatest-hits exhibition, “Revolutions” remixes the museum’s best B-sides and rarities, while still making a case about the long 20th century in art.
From Grandma Moses to Rashid Johnson, “Revolutions” spans a ludicrous range of painters. Right from the start, the show dials up the contrasts: The first works to greet viewers are a stately 1884 portrait by society painter John Singer Sargent hanging next to an electric 2020 portrait by Ghanaian star Amoako Boafo. Roughly speaking, these works could serve as chronological capstones for the Hirshhorn’s collection. But there’s something else to this pairing: It’s an unlikely diptych that tees up the push-and-pull between figuration and abstraction that defines the collection — and the century.
Curated by the Hirshhorn’s Marina Isgro and Betsy Johnson, “Revolutions” is chockablock with artworks. More than 200 paintings, sculptures and drawings — with the odd photograph thrown in, and a plan to rotate some artworks — trace the flow of ideas from early modernism to the postwar era. That’s a ton of work: For comparison, when the museum mounted a collection show in 2016, it included some 75 pieces.
The first gallery alone showcases a couple dozen works, including a salon-style hang of portraits by the likes of Édouard Vuillard, Thomas Eakins and Mary Cassatt. The show is chronological-ish, with contemporary works (like Boafo’s “Cobalt Blue Dress”) sprinkled throughout to break the very light logic of the show’s organization. The rooms have themes, but these are subordinate to the show’s overall flow, which focuses on pairings and dialogues. Artworks wink at one another from across decades and continents, like the geometric Lakota beadwork painting by Dyani White Hawk from 2022 hanging amid constructivist compositions by László Moholy-Nagy and Nadia Léger originally made a century earlier.
Contemporary selections such as Boafo and White Hawk emphasize and sometimes upend ideas in the collection. They’re just infrequent enough in “Revolutions” that they pop like exclamation points. Loie Hollowell’s three-dimensional painting “Boob Wheel” (2019) is an abstraction of the figure rooted in the artist’s own pregnancy, adding a maternal element (and a shade of sex) to the gallery. Nathaniel Mary Quinn’s “Literacy Lab” (2019), a multimedia piece that looks like three different drawings for an “exquisite corpse” — in fact, it’s just a single composition — holds its own alongside two cubist paintings by Picasso.
While it’s a busy painting show, sculpture takes center stage in “Revolutions,” part of a concerted effort to put more shine on the museum’s sculptural holdings, including the magnificent bronzes in the sculpture garden (currently undergoing a renovation). For the exhibit, the Hirshhorn has revived the light well, a vintage solution for displaying sculpture by placing works on an elevated podium under even, suspended lighting. These retro displays put a spotlight on works by Barbara Hepworth, Jean Arp, Max Ernst and more — smaller sculptures that are easy to overlook in any setting. One of the most magical groupings in the show is a wall-size vitrine that features delicate suprematist marionettes by Aleksandra Exster, futurist flower sculptures by Giacomo Balla and a peerless dada painting by Sonia Delaunay.
Isgro and Johnson find a few chances within the permanent collection to rattle long-standing dogma in art history: for example, by hanging a 1945 painting by the mercurial and long-overlooked artist Janet Sobel that predates the remarkably similar 1949 piece by Jackson Pollock nearby. Throughout the show, the curators elevate marginalized voices without being pedantic about it. Mid-century works by Haitian artists Rigaud Benoit, Hector Hyppolite and Castera Bazile occupy the same kind of space as Willem de Kooning.
In some ways, the Hirshhorn of “Revolutions” is the one I want to visit over and over. There is far too much great work from the 20th century locked away in the vaults of collections like this one. Fernand Léger’s “Nude on a Red Background” (1927) should never be put out of sight. And why condemn Balla’s futurist flowers to wither in the dark? Yet dynamic new artworks such as Torkwase Dyson’s “Bird and Lava #4” (2021) and Flora Yukhnovich’s “Lipstick, Lip Gloss, Hickeys Too” (2022), shown in context with the entire collection, make the case that the central ideas animating the 20th century still have juice. History never ends and all that, but Isgro and Johnson are pressing a more specific point, that the Hirshhorn museum continues to trace the loops and echoes of the many modernisms Joseph Hirshhorn followed from the start.
Maybe the most surprising moment comes at the very beginning. Looking at the Boafo-Sargent pairing by the entrance, to the right and almost behind the viewer stands Constantin Brancusi’s “Torso of a Young Man” (1924). A Futurist Manifesto-grade sculpture with this mega-wattage would normally hold pride of place in any collection. Here, it’s presented in an ambiguous position: possibly an anchor, possibly an afterthought. It’s as if to say the museum is still investigating what the 20th century means and how the pieces fit together, a project with no end in sight.

J. Willgoose, Esq e Wrigglesworth sono i Public Service Broadcasting, ideatori di un concept che mescola effetti elettronici, strumentazione analogica e voci campionate da vecchi filmati di propaganda e documentari inglesi dagli anni Trenta in poi. Il loro primo full-length è stato Inform – Educate – Entertain, del maggio 2013, ed è subito successo di pubblico e critica. Qual è il segreto? La risposta si trova nel loro motto, "insegnare le lezioni del passato attraverso la musica del futuro". Dagli archivi sonori della televisione nazionale britannica ai filmati che celebrano il Regno Unito come potenza aerea e marittima, i documentari sulla scalata dell'Everest e altro ancora.
Il motto di J. Willgoose, Esq., mente del progetto PSB, e del fidato compagno Wrigglesworth, è semplice ma geniale: “insegnare le lezioni del passato attraverso la musica del futuro”. Una formula che la band mette in pratica andando a recuperare dagli archivi sonori della televisione nazionale britannica il materiale più disparato, dai filmati che celebrano il Regno Unito come potenza aerea e marittima, ai documentari sulla scalata dell’Everest.
Nella dimensione live, la proposta del gruppo assume il carattere di una performance che coinvolge suono e immagine, grazie all’utilizzo di una serie di apparecchiature audiovisive d’epoca che trasmettono filmati e visuals in perfetta simbiosi con la musica.
