SUMMARY:Ivor Gurney by Diana Taylor – Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:FULLY BOOKED.\nThis event is now fully subscribed. Please get in touch if you would like to be added to the reserve list. \nIvor Gurney 1890-1937\, was not only a WW1 Poet but also a brilliant composer. He studied under Sir Charles Villier Stanford at the Royal College of Music and he was a contemporary of Vaughan Williams. \nHe suffered from depression and this was exacerbated by his experience of WW1 on the Somme. \nThe theme of the film is the contrast between his life experiencing the horrors of WW1 and his love of the Gloucestershire landscape\, which inspired much of his poetry and music including A Gloucestershire Rhapsody 1919 -1921. \nThe film sets Gurney in Gloucestershire and weaves this with his war poetry set to his composition War Elegy 1920 and WW1 footage. The film includes much of his beautiful piano music. \nThe film is a Redcliffe Films Production which is supported by the Newlyn International Film Festival. It has been shown at many festivals in the UK and Europe. \nTuesday 12th November\, 1 – 3.30pm\nBooking Essential / £4 suggested donation

SUMMARY:Evolving Metaphors: Colin Wilson and Ufology
DESCRIPTION:David J. Moore\, a researcher on the late Cornwall-based existentialist\, Colin Wilson\, will be talking about the curious link between the paranormal and existential philosophy\, and how this relates to Wilson’s ‘new existentialism’. Mr Moore has written on ufology and Wilson’s philosophy at length in his debut book\, Evolutionary Metaphors: Ufos\, New Existentialism and the Future Paradigm. In it he argues that there is an essential unity in Wilson’s vast output; linking his earliest philosophical concerns with his later works.  \nThe talk will range over the curious logic which underlies the UFO phenomenon\, and how\, in analysing the anomalous – or even experiencing the anomalous first-hand –  it re-orientates a particular\, and often insightful\, approach to meaning\, providing what he calls an ‘evolutionary metaphor’. \n  \n

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT  - Wed 8th May\, 2pm - Stephen Glendenning: The Art of the Book
DESCRIPTION:This event is now Sold Out – please contact us to place your name on the reserve list.\nWed 8th May\, 2pm – Stephen Glendenning:\nThe Art of the Book\nHow Artists have Challenged the Conventions of Publishing Throughout History\nThe Book: It is perhaps one of the most significant and iconic design objects of western culture. \nStephen works as a conservation bookbinder and whilst his work is to preserve material culture\, he is also aware that western culture evolves and moves forward by a willingness to challenge conventions\, question the norms and occasionally break the rules! \nDuring the 20th century\, artists and crafts people have sought to challenge or improve upon the conventions of what a book might be. Their inventive approach has brought forward new designs and ideas which encourage us to rethink the purpose and function of books. Sometimes subversive\, sometimes delightful; these ideas often go hand in hand with the pioneering philosophical and psychological viewpoints of their time. \nThis lecture presents the findings of a two year research project that seeks to re-frame our understanding of the humble codex. \nGet ready for some surprises. \n   \nBOOKING IS ESSENTIAL\n£4 suggested donation per person
