Anish Kapoor in Pitzhanger Manor, optical tricks with mirrors and metal
Anish Kapoor
(March to August 2019)
Within the newly restored gallery, with its three circular skylights, Kapoor’s sculptures challenge our traditional notion of form and space by disorientating the viewer and transforming their surroundings.
These sculptures echo Soane’s complex use of mirrors and light and will enable visitors to Pitzhanger to see Soane’s architecture from a fresh perspective.
[Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery]
Pitzhanger Manor was bought by Sir John Soane (1753-1837) in 1800. He demolished most of George Dance's building but retained the southern extension, replacing the main block with one of his own design. In the same year Soane employed John Haverfield to produce new designs for the grounds which were delivered by September 1800 (guidebook). The new mansion was used to display Soane's art collection and for entertaining, his Lincoln's Inn house being retained as the family residence. By 1809 Soane was only occasionally at Pitzhanger and in June of that year he instructed James Christie to sell the house and the estate. Once again the property passed through a series of owners until, in 1843, it was sold to the politician Spencer Walpole and became the home of his four unmarried sisters-in-law, the daughters of the Rt Hon Spencer Perceval. Prior to the death aged ninety-five of the last-surviving Perceval sister, Frederika, in May 1900, her nephew, Sir Spencer Walpole, had begun negotiations with Ealing District Council for the sale of the house and the estate. The sale negotiations were completed early in January 1900 and, following Miss Perceval's death, alterations were carried out. The then Borough Surveyor, Charles Jones, was responsible for the designs for the alterations to the house and grounds and in April 1902 the building was opened as a public library. At the time of the sale, the property was variously referred to as Manor House Park (Middlesex County Times, 19 May 1900) and Perceval Park (Middlesex County Times, 28 July 1900). The name Walpole Park was adopted after communications between the last owner and Ealing Borough Council towards the end of 1900.
Further major alterations to the library building were completed by 1940 and then, in 1984, the Central Library was moved to new premises in Ealing. The following year a continuing programme of restoration and repair to both the mansion and the grounds began. The restored manor house was reopened as a museum and centre for cultural events in the late 1990s. The grounds continue (2000) in the ownership of the London Borough of Ealing.

Botanical Garden designed by Edwina von Ga / BioMuseo is a museum focused on the natural history of Panama, whose isthmus was formed very recently in geologic time, with major impact on the ecology of the Western Hemisphere. Located on the Amador Causeway in Panama City, it was designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry. This is Gehry's first design for Latin America. The design was conceived in 1999 and the museum opened in October 2014. The BioMuseo highlights Panama's natural and cultural history, emphasizing the role of humans in the 21st Century; its galleries tell the story of how the rise of the isthmus of Panama changed the world. With 4,000 square meters, the BioMuseo has 8 galleries for its permanent exhibits, designed in sequence by Bruce Mau Design; Bruce Mau is a Canadian designer and educator. He started as a graphic designer but later focused on architecture, art, museums, film, eco-environmental design, and conceptual philosophy. Mau serves as Visiting Professor at Pratt Institute in the Graduate Architecture & Urban Design department. Besides the main spaces the museum also has a public atrium, a space for temporary exhibits, and exterior exhibits in a botanical garden designed by Edwina von Gal, an American landscape designer based in East Hampton, New York. On October 2, 2014 the BioMuseo opened its doors to the public. This first part of the story tells the importance of Panama and its natural and cultural evolution. Other galleries include: Gallery of Biodiversity: What is biodiversity? Why should we care? What is happening to it today? The first gallery is an introduction to Panama's amazing natural heritage; Panamarama: We are surrounded by an endless number of living beings and communities - a three-level projection space with 10 screens envelops the visitor in a display of sight and sound featuring Panama's natural wonders; Building the Bridge: Panama emerged from the sea 3 million years ago. Earth's inner forces that formed the Isthmus of Panama take the form of three 14 meter high rock formations, allowing for a tangible encounter with the geological world; Worlds Collide: when the Isthmus closed an extraordinary exchange of species occurred between North and South America. A stampede of animal sculptures of all eras, shapes and sizes tell the story of this unique and ongoing natural event; the Human Path: in a space partially open to the outdoors 16 columns provide information about the relations between human activity and the natural scenarios of Panama throughout time; Oceans Divided: when Panama emerged, two very different oceans formed, changing life in the planet. Two large semi-circular aquariums will show how the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea evolved once they were separated by the isthmus; the Living Web: living beings need each other and interact in complex and invisible ways. A large sculpture, part plant, animal, insect and microorganism will give the visitor the experience in a dimension where all creatures have the same importance; Panama is the Museum: the most amazing experience awaits the visitor outside of the museum - screens will offer information about the relationship between the biodiversity in Panama and the world.

Glacially-formed Pothole on Pothole Dome. These bowl-shaped features were carved into the granite of Pothole Dome when it was covered by glaciers during the Tioga Stage about 20,000 years ago. The granite was scoured by streams flowing in tunnels beneath the ice. Rocks caught in vortex in such a stream were whirled about, drilling these holes into the granite. Tuolumne Meadows area.

KANAL - Centre Pompidou!
13 months of exhibitions and shows before conversion work begins
Before it becomes the largest cultural institution in Brussels, with 35,000 m2 devoted to artistic creation in all its forms, KANAL - Centre Pompidou proposes a unique cultural immersion in the buildings of the former Citroen garage.
Before conversion work begins, KANAL - Centre Pompidou will open its doors from May 2018 until June 2019 to allow the public to discover an exceptional cultural heritage, rich in history and preserved in its current state. Benefiting from the richness of the collections of the Centre Pompidou, the former Citroen garage will turn into a site hosting several exhibitions mixing visual arts, design, architecture, major installations and creations by Brussels-based artists, as well as a programme of performing-arts shows co-produced for this occasion with many of the city's cultural actors.
A future cultural hub
The ambition of KANAL - Centre Pompidou is to offer a centre of culture and exchange open to all, to put the creative scene of Brussels in the limelight, and to contribute to the capital's cultural appeal.
Driven by the Brussels-Capital Region, this ambitious project seeks to provide Brussels with a cultural hub favourable to the aura of the capital of Europe. In the context of a ten-year partnership with the Centre Pompidou, the future KANAL - Centre Pompidou will not only house a museum of modern and contemporary art, but also the rich collections of architecture and urbanism of the CIVA Foundation. It will also accommodate many public spaces with a range of functions, including several stages for the performing arts.
A wide-ranging programme
Events imagined in response to the identity of the site and its unique aesthetic qualities, but also its history
From 5 May 2018 until 10 June 2019, following a radically experimental approach, the former Citroen garage will turn into a platform open to a reflection on the stakes of the museum of the future. Curated by Bernard Blistene, the director of the Musee national d'art moderne, Centre Pompidou, a multidisciplinary programme will seek to fill the spaces that were recently emptied of their functions and left in their current state. Many of the proposals seek to echo the identity of the site, but also its human and social history, tangible across the different workshops and offices and in the different fittings of this vast complex.
Eager to integrate Kanal - Centre Pompidou in its context, the programme will let a vast audience have access, in one and the same venue, to a wide-ranging and unique cultural offer. The programme follows the rhythm of the Brussels cultural calendar, in partnership with, among others, Kunstenfestivaldesarts, BOZAR, Performatik Festival, Flagey, Kaaitheater and La Raffinerie (Charleroi Danse).

Before our friend, June Patience Jones died on the 4th May, we promised her to go down to the caravan to go and collect some of her belongings back to her as she was incapable to travel. Unfortunately, this wasn't to be the case. We decided that raising funds and giving them to a cancer charity would be the next best option. Therefore, we carried on as normal and in september, we hope to raise funds for a cancer charity in memory of her and her fave second home.

The line forms outside the Apple Store for the release of Mac OS X - Leopard. The line grew as it got closer to 6pm - they had 500 shirts to give away, but they still had some left by the time I left after I made my purchase. There was still a good line outside for people waiting to get in. You can see the iPod Nano displays in the window with some big popcorn pieces hanging near them.
