PhotoHastings stakes new claim to town fame
The Hastings and St Leonards area has a long-established tradition of fine art, painting and music. But until recently, Hastings’ photographic talents have been partially overshadowed by the bright lights of Brighton. Though not for much longer, as PhotoHastings 2014 is about to be launched. HOT reporter John Cole spoke with PhotoHastings coordinator Cathryn Kemp about the exciting developments for photography in the Hastings creative area.
Dear Gordon
Does anyone write love letters any more? A love letter; the lost art of putting pen to paper, that personal connection of brain, hand, feelings and paper, giving physical form to overflowing passions. And what would you do if you found one? That private missive loaded with passion, on the edge, secret, intended for one person.
Old work, new beginnings…
Inspired by a recent studio move, Danny Mooney’s Looking back @ 50 exhibition reviews many years of his work. Brought together for the first time in public are key works from every stage of Mooney’s artistic development. HOT’s Erica Smith takes a backwards look…
Jane and Siobhan present in open studio season
Jane Beecham and HOT’s own Siobhan O’Hanlon have worked alongside each other for many years, but this is the first time they have shown together. The event is part of the South East Open Studios’ (SEOS) season, which profiles 269 local artists and offers the unique opportunity to buy directly from the artists. Nick Terdre reports.
Jack the Ripper at last?
Described as a “well researched and beautifully written piece of history”, Jack the Ripper at last? is the newest work by Hastings writer Helena Wojtczak. Stepping aside from women’s history, Helena dived into the complex and painstaking world of psychology and crime writing. Jessica Parker speaks to Helena regarding her upcoming book signing.
Hastings IS the ideal landscape
Hastings Arts Forum is currently showing two exhibitions: The Ideal Landscape (Nigel Oxley and Claudia de Grandi) and West Indies to West Hill (Jennifer Baird). The images in each are very different – but they are nevertheless linked by the common theme of ‘journey’. West Indies to West Hill charts Jennifer Baird’s spiritual and geographical transition from the wild rain forests of Tobago to the quirky eccentricity of Hastings; The Ideal Landscape provides a visual documentation of Nigel Oxley’s journey to Snowdonia following a family bereavement. Claudia de Grandi celebrates the journey from pure painter to intaglio printer.
