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.

Raku, a revered Japanese art form, embodies simplicity, imperfection, and an intimate connection between the maker and their medium. Originating in the 16th century, it was traditionally used to craft tea bowls for the esteemed tea ceremony. Each piece, be it a tea cup, platter, or teapot, tells a story of fire and clay. The process embraces unpredictability as the objects are removed from the kiln while still molten, subjected to cooling that creates crackled glazes, smoky hues, and an air of serendipity.
The wabi-sabi aesthetic, rooted in the appreciation of transience and imperfection, finds its perfect partner in Raku. Together, they celebrate the beauty of flaws—the uneven edges, the crackled surfaces, the asymmetry that speaks of the artist’s hand and the elements’ influence. Raku is not about perfection but about presence, creating vessels that hold not just tea but the soul of the moment.
The Soul of Raku
In flames it breathes, the clay’s true form,
A dance of chaos, fire-streaked warm.
Crackled lines like life's own face,
Each flaw, a mark of time and grace.
In Raku’s hand, wabi-sabi gleams,
Imperfection woven into dreams.
A tea bowl speaks of transient days,
Beauty found in life's uneven ways.
Haikus
Crackled glaze whispers,
Flames kiss the clay with beauty,
Wabi-sabi’s truth.
Hands shape imperfection,
Kiln’s fire carves life in the clay,
Time’s breath etched within.
Tea cradles its bowl,
Fragile, transient, yet whole,
Raku’s humble soul.

I like this sculpture by Henry Moore but I have noticed that visitors do not pay it much attention.
Many years ago Henry Moore provided on loan a sculpture which became known as 'The King And Queen' and it was located on the Library forecourt but as he was not happy about the location he decided that it should be returned. However the college managed to obtain an other sculpture which has been located at the Library Square its current location. Sphere In Sphere by Pomodoro which is now permanently installed on the forecourt which appears to have been made for it.
I used to follow this female photographer (on Flickr?) that had such cool abstracts of ice. She lived up on one of the Great Lakes so she got plenty of practice. But that was her thing. Beautiful images of ice bubbles, light through ice, rocks covered in ice. So here I am, searching all over a rock wall on the north side of Monte Sano for interesting bits covered in ice. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I think these have the potential to be chess pieces. It's quite an ambitious project, so it might just be a thought passing through my brain, but who knows?!

Club members formed our annual assembly line - this year we changed it up because we had pounds and pounds of animal cookies left from a prior club project - so we assembled bags of cookies and tied a greeting tag to it - we made over 300 for local convalescent facilities.
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.
This is of zeon7 having a coffee whilst getting ideas on what to shoot next. I done this shot by placing the camera on the table I was sitting at and just hoping it would take a good picture. Kinda like a voyeuristic look at him.

Inspired by design from the seventies, the Snackbowl really catches the eye. Its round shape offers prominent space for large-surface promotional messages. With the Snackbowl, snacking finally gets a new, stylish space: No more ugly peanut cans, no ripped-open chip bags with half the contents spilling out. The Snackbowl fits so well on every desk that snacking with it is guaranteed to be more fun!

The Arlington Crossroads was formed from 1800s wagon roads that connected thriving riverfront Spanish plantations and landings along the St. Johns River with the Richard Mill dam over Strawberry Creek. These roads were tied together and platted when the plantations were sold after the Civil War. The resulting main north/south road was the “road to Chaseville” or Chaseville Road, which became University Boulevard in 1959. Arlington Road, the main east/west road was combined from several roads, including St. Johns Avenue And Elizabeth Street.
From the 1920s through the 40s development at the Crossroads grew steadily. Civic-minded citizens started a community club, public water works, and volunteer fire department, all located in the area of the Crossroads. Paul K. Reid’s Gas Station and Cliff’s Garage serviced the ever more popular automobile. Supplies and sundries could be purchased at Oliver Friske’s General Store. While the surrounding area was still very rural and much food was home-grown, groceries could be purchased from Rowe’s Grocery or Haine’s Grocery.
The opening of the Mathews Bridge I 1953 made the area easily accessible and attracted new businesses and new residents. Housing subdivisions and strip shopping centers would soon fill the area, but even with the opening of the Town and County and Arlington Plaza shopping centers during the 1950s, the Crossroads remained the business and social hub of a new larger Arlington. From the new post office on the northwest corner, businesses spread in all directions Turner Hardware, Sal’s Drug Store, The Clip Joint Barber Shop, Arlington Auto Parts, Chaz Harris’ Music Shop, to name a few. Old-timers and teenagers and those in between met under the beautiful oak tree by the post office to share the news of their families.
The arrival of enclosed mall shops and “super” market grocery stores lured shoppers elsewhere, and the Arlington crossroads as a small town center slowly blended into the community at large.

Which formed the basis for the black/red/gold colors now used in the German flag. The colors were signified the wish for democratic national unity in the early 19th century.
The Lützowsches Freikorps existed 1813-1814 during the wars against Napoleon and basically was the first regiment that had members from across all of Germany.
With each passing week Key West Contemporary becomes a little more pleasing to my eye. Every year I go to the Orchid Show at the NYBG as often as possible. Each year I start out with fond memories of the previous year's showing and every year by the final day I claim that this year's show is the best ever.
Forming part of a COP26 Global Day of Action, Extinction Rebellion - who have worked with a puppet production company to create a giant, smoldering koala (name'd Blinky), representing the terror our animals are facing in the climate emergency - led a march through St Kilda's Catani Gardens. It was joined by the Red Rebel Brigade, as well as drummers and musicians.

The East Westmeath AC 5KM Road Race, Fun Run, and Walk 2013 was held in Rathwire Village, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Saturday 7th December 2013 at 11:00. The race was organised as part of an annual fund-raising event for the local national school (St. Joseph's National School) as a road race event for the promotion of the recently formed East Westmeath AC in the area. The race was a great success with runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities taking part. The two loops on the course meant that there was a great atmosphere around the course. Overall this was a very well organised race - the race was accurately measured, well stewarded, and each KM was marked. Key road junctions were properly stewarded also.
This photograph is part of a larger set of photographs which was taken on the day. The link to the entire set of photographs on Flickr is www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157638438922444.
East Westmeath Athletics Club is a newly formed athletic club for the region of Westmeath east of Mullingar. This race is an annual fundraiser for the local national school. The club was founded in the village of Rathwire which is seamlessly connected to the neighbouring village of Killucan in the same parish. East Westmeath AC have a very large juvenille membership who also attend the local school so this event has great local significance and meaning. The catchment area for East Westmeath AC contains a large area of rural Westmeath taking in the villages of Killucan, Rathwire, and Raharney. The catchment area essentially stretches over to the town of Kinnegad and the county border between Co. Meath and Co. Westmeath.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

SEGUNDO DÍA DE INTENSIDAD. 10 MAYO
A través de 16 instalaciones, el visitante recorre un espacio vivo que desarrollará en cada uno reacciones absolutamente diferentes. A través de la exhibición y las distintas actividades que la completan, se reflexionará acerca del modo en el que el arte se relaciona actualmente con la realidad. Esta exposición se aleja de las formas más tradicionales y juega con las prácticas performativas para despertar la sorpresa del espectador. Así, el espacio del CA2M se convierte en un lugar de experimentación directa de sensaciones que juegan con lo visual y lo sonoro reflexionando acerca de cómo el cuerpo responde a ese tipo de estímulos.
Esta exposición, concebida como evento, subrayó la performatividad y la forma en que funciona, la forma en que se acciona a sí misma. Incluyó objetos, audiovisuales y cuerpos. Fue una exposición continuamente “en vivo”, ya que las instalaciones, fotografías, películas, performances, debates, etcétera, habitaron el espacio del museo.
Through 16 facilities, the visitor walks through a living space that will develop in each one absolutely different reactions. Through the exhibition and the different activities that complete it, we will reflect on the way in which art is currently related to reality. This exhibition moves away from the more traditional forms and plays with the performative practices to awaken the surprise of the viewer. Thus, the space of the CA2M becomes a place of direct experimentation of sensations that play with the visual and the sonorous reflecting on how the body responds to that type of stimuli.
This exhibition, conceived as an event, underlined the performativity and the way in which it works, the way in which it actuates itself. It included objects, audio-visuals and bodies. It was a continuous exhibition "live", since the installations, photographs, films, performances, debates, etc., inhabited the space of the museum.
