June 2012 Arts Events Magazine Barbados

BARBADOS ARTS EVENTS

June 2012

Welcome to Barbados Monthly Arts Events April 2012 This is a completely free and unsponsored magazine created out of the need to inform so that we can get to exhibitions, artist talks, workshops and more, rather than hearing about events after they have taken place.

I encourage anyone with a creative event or a new piece of work to get in contact with me at corriescott@gmail.com and I will add a free page for you.

Let’s get the arts out there!

Please, pass this magazine on to others and so help the creative side of Barbados get all the exposure possible.

ARTS DIRECTORY BARBADOS How It Happened I have, for so many years, wanted to create a free online reference book where anyone, in any part of the world, may access the creative people in Barbados. I could not do this on my own and Kathy Yearwood heard of my idea, offered to partner with me and I happily agreed.

What started out in March as a small book of what I thought might be a maximum of one hundred and fifty pages turned into a tome of over three hundred pages. A mixture of excitement and fear at what we had taken on. And here we are in December 2011 with a book showing off the talents in Barbados. So exciting.

The eight month adventure began. Finding artists, photographing them and their work. From March 2011 to October 2011 Kathy and I collated the artwork, the bios and statements and travelled around the island garnering images and information.

Large collections of artwork in homes. Convincing people who thought they were too old and forgotten and watching them smile as their work was photographed and having them talk about themselves so that we could create a bio for them. Literally slipping down the hills of clay at Chalky Mount to see an original kiln and spend the day with the potters.

Temple Yard with the Rastafarian community where they are blessed with talent, especially carving, and then coming away with gifts of pineapples and avocados. Photographing in the rain with an umbrella in one hand and a camera in the other to get the right angles. Going to openings and craft shows and talking to many. Coming to my home, going to Kathy’s, and going wherever was needed. Meeting the different personalities in so many locations as I photographed many of them for their portrait photo for the book. Remembering some who have left us. A labour of love, learning and fun.

The thank you part as I could not have done this on my own. Norma Springer who encouraged me to “take the book and run with it”. Kathy Yearwood who offered to partner with me collating and to create the book for artists in Barbados.

Alison Chapman-Andrews for helping Kathy and I proof read. Amazing how much you miss no matter how many times we went over it. Sue Bain for offering her professional opinion and suggestions as a copy editor. Peter Boos for all the encouragement. Laura Lin Hutchinson for her introduction. Finally, the most important people, the creative souls who put their trust in Kathy and I to show them off to their best. I hope we have done this.

“Art is about the core elements of our lives, manifested in what we see, hear, taste, make, read and write, wear, and how we move.

It is the creative footprint that becomes the discernible difference between people of different countries and experiences. It is a unique cultural trademark and the magnet that draws us to explore the corners of the world in search of those aspects of life that make us different from each other.

It is the goal of the Barbados Summer Arts Festival to encourage the celebration of these seven elements that reflect our cultural identity and as we do so, to foster their development, allowing gainful and sustainable development for their practitioners.“ Ronnie Carrington www.barbadosartsfestival.com

Many of these wooden houses are now lost to us and so I have tried to preserve them visually so that we may not forget the traditional architecture of our Caribbean. I love the worn, weathered and much fixed doors, windows and structures. 11” by 14” with a mat that brings it up to 16” by 20” ready for framing. Printed on archival photographic paper. $280Bds ($140USD). corriescott@gmail.com. +1(246) 424 3965. www.corriescott.net

'Blooming Roses' by Corrie Scott.

This series is from my iphone using the Hipstamatic App with just a 60watt bulb. I decided to exhibit these to show that photography is open to any camera and any interpretation (and any modern app).

No corrections of any kind have been made on these images except for re sizing the image to 5" by 5" at 300dpi. It is as it was photographed.

Printed with archival inks on acid free paper.

Series of 17.

JULIANNE GILL www.juliannegill.com

I grew up with a father who loved to take pictures. When I was 16 I got my first camera and from this time on I started shooting. For a long while it was just a hobby, pleasant to have some memories of foreign countries or events I visited.

My motivation to take pictures changed completely,when I started realizing, how beautiful nature is. I often felt so touched seeing a tiny single flower behind a wall, a beautiful sunset, the pattern of a leaf, the grace of an old tree‌I felt grateful for having a chance to witness those wonders.

My desire to capture those sometimes unseen little miracles grew and I got more excited letting them live forever through the images and sharing them.

Since 1997 I was travelling to and fascinated by the Caribbean. In 2008 I quit my job, left my mother country Germany and followed my creative path, focusing on taking images of different Caribbean islands.

With my pictures, which will be presented in a book, I tried to capture the magic atmosphere, the colors, the beauty and the life in the Caribbean, mainly of Barbados. My wish is to share this beauty and touch the hearts of all the people, who have never been here.

SHEENA ROSE bajanrose27@hotmail.com http:// sroseart.tumblr.com/

‘POP’ ( from Sheena Rose) “Pop!” is an art show I would love to curate this year. This show is about Pop Art in Barbados/Caribbean, what is current in your culture and how would you interpret that, like maybe in fashion , photography, illustration, performance and so on.

In this show, I will select ten artists and 5 performers for the exhibition.

To apply to “Pop!” you must email 2-5 images of your work, artists statement, proposal/ ideas for this show. You can email to bajanrose27@hotmail.com or projectspace.arts@gmail.com .

The deadline to apply is the ending of June 7th 2012.

I believe this show will be interesting with performance too because the performers can interpret pop music, dance, etc for the opening night so it will be interesting to see art and also performances.

When the artists are selected, each artists will pay 100 - 125 bds to help contribute to the invitations, food, wine, hanging material, zine, photographer and any other necessary material we will need. I am not sure about the performers as yet but maybe around 50 - 75 bds to also contribute too. It may seem like a lot but this will make the show look really great and professional. We can 2 performers at the opening and 3 at the closing of the exhibition.

Now what is great about the show, everyone can also take part somehow to the show too, for example we will need 2 writers, one to write in the zine ( small magazine or catalog) and this writer will be pay for writing in this catalog and the other writer will write for the projects & space blog and this writer will be feature in the group,blog, Facebook and twitter.

We will also need two photographers, one to take for the opening night and the money we contributed will pay this photographer, each artists and performers will get the photos album of the exhibition and their work, which is important to document from the photographer. The second photographer will take photos for the projects & space group and will be feature in the blog,Facebook,twitter etc.

We will also need a graphic designer to design the invitation of the show and this graphic designer work will be on the cover of the zine, projects & space timeline and also feature in the blog, Facebook and twitter, etc.

We will also need a filmmaker to document the show and this filmmaker will be pay because it is important to document any art shows.

The artists and performers will be feature in the blog,Facebook and twitter.

Also the artists can sell their work in the show.

We have to make a proposal to Morning side gallery and see if we are accepted to show around the time of October 2012.

I believe this show will be really professional and AWESOME if we all work together. Let’s see how we interpret POPART in our culture.

Thank you!”

ARC Magazine is a non-profit Caribbean Art and Culture publication www.arcthemagazine.com Company Overview ARC Magazine is a non-profit Caribbean Art and Culture Print and E-Magazine published out of St. Vincent and the Grenadines by artists, Nadia Huggins and Holly Bynoe. “We are endeavoring to form a creative platform to offer insight into current practices across the burgeoning creative industries while bridging the gap between established and emerging artists.

Within the recent motions of integration there is a critical space developing, where, for the first time we can envision a converging nexus of artists who want to share their creative experience.�

Description - To foster and develop dialogues and opportunities for individual and collaborative visual and literary artists across the region.

- To showcase artwork that encapsulates a pan-Caribbean focus, also paying respect to meta-archipelago lack of boundaries and center. We aim to connect artists in the diaspora, with artists practicing in the region and continental Caribbean.

- To stimulate sharing and creativity by providing an outlet for self expression and uniqueness.

- To encourage the sustenance of our intangible and tangible heritages while building a deeper understand of the value and need for the artists work.

- To engage with literary and visual arts in a way that reflects the power and dynamic of both traditions.

GALLERY OF CARIBBEAN ART The Gallery Of Caribbean Art will be presenting the works of a variety of artists, both metal and fine art works Northern Business Centre, Queen Street, Speightstown, St. Peter, Barbados www.artgallerycaribbean.com

In Barbados and the Caribbean our cultural landscape has evolved and we now sit at the threshold of what is for us a new frontier of cultural expression, the creation of a film industry.

In addition, the world is now recognizing the Caribbean as a vast reservoir of untapped talent.

In light of developments over the last six years, the Bridgetown Film Academy recognizes that we have reached critical mass in our effort to create a film industry in the Caribbean as a whole. We believe that it’s time for Caribbean people to tell their own stories to the world, and it is widely accepted that a viable film industry is the vehicle through which this shall be achieved. It is imperative therefore that we train persons and build capacity in the relevant areas to meet the demands of our fledgling film industry. In this regard, we believe that the Bridgetown Film Academy is the next logical step in the process. The Bridgetown Film Academy sees itself as fulfilling this role now and into the future.

Our workshops are conducted by a team of dedicated individuals who share many years of combined knowledge and practical experience, and who are committed to the process sharing in order to help develop our film industry. www.bridgetownfilmacademy.com/

Our Mission To fuel the development of culture through training, research and the creation of opportunities in cultural industries.

The Role of the NCF The NCF’s two major roles are: developmental and commercial. In its developmental role, the Foundation uses culture as a tool for national development fostering and supporting the various art forms and new cultural products. In its commercial role, the Foundation is responsible for the promotion, production and hosting of cultural festivals and associated events that are considered economically viable or socially acceptable. A key part of this function now includes the responsibility for the staging and execution of major governmental and national events. In addition, as culture becomes more pivotal to national and international policy, the National Cultural Foundation continues to re-assess its responsibilities in light of all its functions.

FUNCTIONS of the NCF are: To stimulate and facilitate the development of culture generally To develop, maintain and manage theatres and other cultural facilities and equipment provided by Government To organize cultural festivals Assist persons interested in developing cultural expression.

OBJECTIVES of the NCF are: To provide opportunities for Barbadian artists/artistes to showcase their talents with the end result being an increased demand for local work To educate Barbadians concerning their heritage To offer Barbadians and visitors alike a high quality product that informs, educates and entertains To equip our cultural workforce with technological skills and training to excel in their particular art forms To strengthen the local cultural product and in the process increase profits to the shareholders To create high quality products that will be competitive on the local, regional and international markets To maximize the role of the cultural sector in the tourism industry Rodney Ifill, Cultural Officer Visual Arts 424-0909 ext.234 rodney-ifill@ncf.bb www.ncf.bb Annette Nias Cultural Officer - Film and Photography 424-0909 Ext 238 annette-nias@ncf.bb

ROSEMARY PARKINSON www.rosemary-parkinson.com

My website - www.rosemaryparkinson.com in-shop is offering two e-books - Shake Dat Cocktail (a trip around the islands on cocktails) and Cocktails & Hors D' Oeuvres with myself and the late Grand Dame of Caribbean Cuisine Chef Norma Shirley. Both make great presents.

Nyam Jamaica is on special for Christmas at US$140 including shipping. Those living in Barbados can order through me direct for BDS$150 signed. In Jamaica, of course, the book is carried by most bookstores. If you are visiting Devon House, Grogg Shop has them and whilst you are there, do enjoy a wonderful lunch or dinner. Norma Shirley's spirit lives on.

On NBC's morning show as one of the best picks for 2008/9 as Christmas presents, Nyam Jamaica makes an incredible corporate gift as it is not just a cookbook but a culinary tour that includes history, traditions and culture, meeting the people from parish to parish. It can be used from Primary to University level as an educational book and is in the hands of several international Chefs and, therefore, not only useful for a hotel or restaurant but also for culinary schools/colleges/universities. A collector's item, there are few left and there will be no more hard copies once the original stock of 6,000 copies is finished (see website for details and download for free the sponsorship proposal to learn more).

NEWS RE BARBADOS BOOK: The Barbados book - Barbados Bu'n-Bu'n - goes to the designers on January 16th and this is good news especially for me as I believe it is time to put this book to rest from my computer and have the world see it. We are going for GOLD in Paris again. Endorsed by the late Prime Minister of Barbados, David Thompson; by Mia Mottley and the Inter-American Institute for CoOperation in Agriculture - Barbados - with comments from international Chef Art Smith (Oprah's personal Chef), writer/author Barbadian Elombe Mottley (Jamaica), playright/author/artist Trinidadian Lennox Raphael (Denmark) and others, this book is carded to hit the world like a good refreshing storm!

On my website you will also find under Downloads, a synopsis for sponsorship for the Barbados book. If you would like to sponsor a double page for say a farmer, just have your corporate office's logo and details within or have an amazing food product or related product (restaurant, hotel) that you wish to go down in the annals of history, please contact me ASAP as I begin to close down this opportunity. This book is also a collector's item, will be going to be judged at the World Cookbook Awards in Paris, and I know will be one that will make Barbados proud and be placed into the annals of history.

Naturally it is a big hard-cover visual book and costly to produce, so I am asking to dig deep into your budgets and let me know if there is a bit of sponsorship available. Bless.

Do help by sending this information on to any of your contacts.

I can be contacted at rosemaryparkinson2004@yahoo.com Have a wonderful, blessed and prosperous rest of the year, Love and light, Rosemary www.rosemary-parkinson.com
