The Future of the Hatton Gallery
Hatton Future is an ambitious campaign to revitalise Newcastle's Hatton Gallery. We are aiming to raise £3.5 million to transform this nationally important and popular gallery on Newcastle University’s campus.
The Hatton has a long and illustrious history in the development of modern British art practice. It is home to what is arguably one of the 20th century’s most iconic works of art, Kurt Schwitters’ Merz Barn Wall, as well as outstanding collections of art from the 14th century to the present day.
Without major refurbishment the Hatton’s future is at risk. Visitt hattonfuture.com for more info.
Newcastle-upon-Tyne a lovely Geordie city with a rich history - 3 nights
November 2017 - We spent 3 nights in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the Royal Station Hotel which was a bit noisy with trains at the back and the lively street of Newcastle in the front. Arriving on the train on Friday we headed to the Discovery Museum for the complete history of Newcastle. Saturday morning we went to the Cathedral Church of St Nicholas hoping for breakfast in their “Dog Leap” cafe but it was closed so we went to Café Rouge on the fine Grey Street instead. We then toured Grainger town’s Central Arcade, Grainger Market, the site if the old Bigg Market and the very new Eldon Square shopping centre. On then to the Laing Gallery which was hosting a Paul Nash exhibition. After lunch at the City Tavern we went to the Great North Museum at Hancock which educated us on Hadrian’s wall which was a much bigger deal than we had thought. We had a look at the Pioneers of Pop artwork at the Hatton Gallery, past St James Park football ground to China Town and along the largest remaining section of the city wall. After breakfast at Browns in Grey Street we walked to the Ouseburn district for an interesting tour of the Victoria tunnel by a couple of local Geordies who had some amusing stories to tell. We stopped at The Biscuit Factory art gallery on our way to the Millennium bridge and the quayside market. Over the bridge we called in at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts, walked down the Gateshead side of the Tyne river, crossing at the Swing Bridge and along the new developments beside the river. The last day started with a visit to the castle through Blackgate where we listened to the splendid Geordie song Bladon Races sung in a broad Geordie accent (sub titles included). You get to the castle keep under the railway that splits the site in two. From the top of the keep there is a splendid view of the city and the building has some very interesting history. Our trip ended with a visit to the Bessie Surtee house, a restored 17th century merchant’s house.

AV Festival 10: Rhodri Davies: Cut and Burn
Rhodri Davies plays the harp in new and unexpected ways, often without plucking the strings. In this performance, set within his installation Room Harp, Davies goes well beyond the convention of playing the harp as a musical instrument, by methodically burning and restringing all 47 strings on a concert pedal harp. He has been interested in the relationship between destruction and creation in sound for many years and in 2008 collaborated with the artist Gustav Metzger, who also participated in AV Festival 10.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
