SUMMARY:Hive Geometrix
DESCRIPTION:Paintings by Stephen Livingstone \n\n\n\n\n\nBeehives are places of mystery and magic. Even beekeepers\, who over many centuries have developed an intimate\, symbiotic relationship with honeybees\, can never properly understand the complex inner-workings of their hives. \n\n\n\nThe paintings in this exhibition are a visualisation of the inside of a working beehive\, an attempt to represent the activities of the queens\, workers and drones throughout a ‘bee year’. They portray\, in symbolic form\, the bee’s political and social activities and their often desperate efforts to survive\, aided and abetted by the interventions of their human guardians. The paintings are cutaways\, architectural diagrams of the interior structures of a beehive\, each panel representing a particular part of the hive\, the colours selected and layered in order to evoke the light and scent sensing experiences of the bees. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition has been made in collaboration with Penrith Beekeepers Association and is supported by Arts Council England. \n\n\n\nStephen Livingstone is a visual artist who is based in Durham. His work deals with human impact upon landscapes and habitats and often involves collaboration with museums and archives\, academic institutions and individuals with specialist knowledge and skills. He has developed major projects for the British Library\, the National Trust\, Durham University and the Museum of Art and Design in New York. \n\n\n\n\nSpring Bloom\n\n\n\nAbandoned Hive – detail\n\n\n\nWinter Brood\n\n\n\nBrace Comb\n\n\n\nHeather Honey – detail

SUMMARY:Richard Durrant : Music For Midsummer
DESCRIPTION:Friday 10th June at 8pm \n\n\n\nCritically acclaimed guitarist and composer Richard Durrant returns to Upfront as part of his popular 27-day Music for Midsummer tour 2022\n\n\n\nAt this concert Richard will play his Sussex downland inspired “The Crest The Coombe The Twitten” and the richly melodic “Book of Spells” on a concert guitar made from a 5\,000 year old English oak.You will also hear unaccompanied Bach played on a ukulele made from cedar rescued from the Oregon “Biscuit Fire”.  \n\n\n\nNow in its eighth year\, Richard’s 2022 musical pilgrimage takes him from the magnificent St Magnus Cathedral on Orkney\, through the UK to Brighton Open Air Theatre for midsummer and further concerts in Sussex and Kent. Once again\, to reduce his carbon footprint\, Richard will be travelling between venues by bicycle carrying his instruments on a trailer.To coincide with the tour a new album “The Sleep of a King” will be launched. Like much of Richard’s music this collection of original guitar solos is inspired by the landscape of the British Isles.Says Richard: “The intense joy I feel performing live can only be enhanced by sharing the stage each night with my bicycle!” \n\n\n\n“My new favourite guitarist… Richard Durrant sits completely outside the accepted genres. He has a peculiar and wonderful mind.” Tom Robinson\, BBC6 Music \n\n\n\n“Richard’s album Rewilding is beyond beautiful.”  Isabella Tree\, best selling author \n\n\n\nPlease listen and watch: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll Tickets £16.50.
