ማን እያወራ እንዳለ ይመልከቱ - Look who’s Talking. The Portico Library, Manchester. 4 July 2019.
In summer 2019 Manchester began marking 200 years since the Peterloo Massacre, an incident in which the British authorities attacked and killed peaceful citizens who were demonstrating for the right to vote. Press reporting before and after the event played a crucial role in democratic and reforming movements, and Portico Library members including John Edward Taylor founded the Guardian newspaper in its aftermath.
The Portico Library's 2019 exhibition Making the News runs from 4 July to 23 Sept 2019. For details visit

The Portico Library toilets Manchester 1st floor HL Sanitan
A random surprise! I came across a private library from 1806 and they have one toilet on every floor. The ground and second floors are for the ladies while this one is unisex with men in the basement.
The fixtures are replicas by Sanitan with decent flushes .

Manchester Central Library is the headquarters of the city's library and information service in Manchester, England. Facing St Peter's Square, it was designed by E. Vincent Harris and constructed between 1930 and 1934.
At Manchester Central Library opening, one critic wrote, This is the sort of thing which persuades one to believe in the perennial applicability of the Classical canon. The form of the building, a columned portico attached to a rotunda domed structure, is loosely derived from the Pantheon, Rome. Manchester Central Library building is grade II* listed. A four-year project to renovate and refurbish the library commenced in 2010. Central Library re-opened on 22 March 2014.
Central Library opened in 1934 to much fanfare. Singer-songwriter Ewan MacColl reminisced on the opening: The new Central Library which replaced the chicken house was an imposing circular structure with an enormous reading room, a small theatre and carrels where serious students could carry on their research without interruption.
Designed by architect Vincent Harris, the striking rotunda form of the Manchester Central Library was inspired by the Pantheon in Rome. Like its 2nd-century model, the library is a round building fronted by a large two-storey portico which forms the main entrance on St Peter's Square, and is surrounded by five bays of Corinthian columns. Around the second and third floors is a Tuscan colonnade, topped by a band of unrelieved Portland stone.
The Library Theatre occupied much of the basement of Manchester Central Library and was the home of the Library Theatre Company, a Manchester City Council service. It was built in 1934 as a lecture theatre, and since 1952 had been used by the Library Theatre Company. After the 2011–2014 alterations its area is now part of the library. A new theatre opened on First Street in partnership with Cornerhouse, Manchester in 2015.

Infinite Art Museum - Tracy Watt
Tracy Watt
The paintings of Tracy Watt provide a psychologically confrontational and at times thematically feminist emotive response to the figurative. The nudes and portraits of Tracy Watt are recognisable for thier idiosyncratic style. Approaching the self as both the creator and subjective feminine has provided representations of art historic narratives for a modern audience. Portraying strong female characters, derived from literary, biblical and mythological, her nudes turn their gaze to confront the spectator. Her new body of work has turned towards portraiture with a flourish of symbolism entitled 'Special people'. This has led to her current portraits of the enigmatic burlesque drag Jefff Van Phil.
Born in the Northern mill town of Oldham in 1972 she drew prolifically from an early age. Her early artistic training in the town developed her portraiture, influences being Rembrandt and the distorted figurative imagery of Egon Schiele. Rembrandt’s chiaroscuro influenced her early colouring. Following this she worked in community arts and went onto lecture at the college in which she began her training. She also had her first solo exhibition in the town in 1998.
Keen to develop intellectually and stylisticly she moved to Scarborough to study a Masters Degree in Painting, under the tutorage of the British realist painter Steve Whitehead. It was here that her contextual passion was aloud to come to the fore. Researching artists such as Artemisia Gentileschi she was influenced by the subject matter and aesthetic values of the Renaissance and Mannerist.
Opening up the narrative imagination onto the visual plane. Inheriting not only stories from the past painters, but also symbolic content such as flowers, landscapes, still life objects and animals. Ahistoric tales lent cohesion to strong imagery drenched in personal symbolism, notions of the feminine physicality and fecundity. Moving to North Wales in 2004 she changed from oils and begun working in acrylics.
Tracy Watt has exhibited widely in both solo and group shows in the UK and Internationally. Winning the Chichester International Art Prize (now the prestigious International Open Art) in 2005. Elizabeth was invited in 2013 to create work for the celebration of artist Autou Frederic Bruly Bouabre in Gaudeloupe, French Columbia. Her robust confrontational female charachters have made her popular for inclusion in International Women's Day exhibitions and feminist dialogue shows. In 2005 the Birmingham Ladyfest Festival, and 2008 and 2010 The Women's Art Show 2008, Fairfields Arts Centre, Basingstoke. Showing two large nudes in the 2013 'Filia', Space Station Sixty Five Gallery, London as part of the International feminist symposium in London.
Solo shows have included in 2004 'Subjugation to Rebellion' at Stockport Art Gallery. 'The Melancholic Weaver of Whiles' at The Portico Library and Gallery in Manchester also 2004 and in 2005 at The Calouste Gulbenkian Gallery, Newcastle. Her most recent solo at Nude Tin Gallery in 2017, where she is a Gallery artist.

Manchester Art Gallery, formerly Manchester City Art Gallery, is a publicly owned art museum on Mosley Street in Manchester city centre. The main gallery premises were built for a learned society in 1823 and today its collection occupies three connected buildings, two of which were designed by Sir Charles Barry. Both Barry's buildings are listed. The building that links them was designed by Hopkins Architects following an architectural design competition managed by RIBA Competitions. It opened in 2002 following a major renovation and expansion project undertaken by the art gallery.
Manchester Art Gallery is free to enter and open seven days a week. It houses many works of local and international significance and has a collection of more than 25,000 objects. More than half a million people visited the museum in the period of a year, according to figures released in April 2014.
Manchester Art Gallery is housed in three connected buildings. The City Art Gallery building, which faces onto Mosley Street, was designed and constructed between 1824–35. It originally housed the Royal Manchester Institution. Designed by architect Sir Charles Barry in the Greek Ionic style, the building is now Grade I listed. The two-storey gallery is built in rusticated ashlar to a rectangular plan on a raised plinth. The roof is hidden by a continuous dentilled cornice and plain parapet. Its eleven-bay facade has two three-bay side ranges and a central five-bay pedimented projecting portico with six Ionic columns. Set back behind the parapet is an attic with small windows that forms a lantern above the entrance hall.

THE PANTHEON of ROME ITALY TOUR - TEMPLE TO ALL THE GODS - 6 22 13
TOUR THE PANTHEON of ROME IN ITALY, IT IS STILL STANDING TODAY, IT WAS A TEMPLE DEDICATED TO ALL THE ROMAN GODS.
It was rebuilt by Hadrian in 125 AD. Originally built by Agrippa in 27 BC. Each door 25 feet high. weights 20 tons.
The (5,000 ton) weight of the concrete dome is concentrated on a ring of voussoirs (30 ft) in diameter which form the oculus. The thickness of the dome varies from (21 ft) at the base of the dome to (4 ft) around the oculus. The height from the floor to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, (142 ft.), so the whole interior would fit exactly within a cube (and the interior could house a sphere of (142 ft.) in diameter). The dome was the largest in the world until 1781 when work was finished on the 46-meter dome of the St. Blaise Abbey in St. Blasien.
The Pantheon still holds the record for the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the history of architecture.
The original Pantheon was built by Agrippa, Augustus' most successful general, in 27 BC. It was a rectangular building dedicated to all the Gods of the Greco-Roman Pantheon. The term 'pan' means all and 'theon' means the gods in Greek.
The interior of the roof was probably intended to symbolize the arched vault of the heavens. The Great Eye at the dome's apex is the source of all light and is symbolic of the sun. Its original circular bronze cornice remains in position. The oculus also serves as a cooling and ventilation method. As wind passes over the dome of the Pantheon, it is accelerated and creates a negative pressure zone called the Venturi effect. This pulls air out of the oculus at the top of the dome, drawing more air in from the portico entrance.
Obviously, when it rains, the water falls straight through the oculus. However the floor beneath has tiny holes in it to allow the water to escape.
The interior features sunken panels (coffers), which originally contained bronze star ornaments. This coffering was not only decorative, but also reduced the weight of the roof, as did the elimination of the apex by means of the Great Eye. , the Pantheon was and still is a huge influence on European and American architects from the Renaissance, starting with Brunelleschi's 42 meter dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, completed in 1436 – the first sizeable dome to be constructed in Europe after Antiquity. The dome of the Pantheon can be detected in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: numerous city halls, universities and public libraries echo its portico-and-dome
structure. Examples of notable buildings influenced by the Pantheon include
The Temple in Dartrey,
British Museum Reading Room,
Manchester Central Library,
Thomas Jefferson's Rotunda at the University of Virginia,
the Rotunda of Mosta,
Low Library at Columbia University, New York,
The Marble Hall of the Sanssouci palace in Potsdam, Germany,
the State Library of Victoria and the Supreme Court Library of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia

The second niche has a statue of St Agnes, by Vincenco Felici. The bust on the left is a portrait of Baldassare Peruzzi, derived from a plaster portrait by Giovanni Duprè. The tomb of King Umberto I and his wife Margherita di Savoia is in the next chapel. The chapel was originally dedicated to St Michael the Archangel, and then to St Thomas the Apostle. The tomb consists of a slab of alabaster mounted in gilded bronze. The royal tombs are maintained by the National Institute of Honour Guards to the Royal Tombs, founded in 1878. They also organize picket guards at the tombs.
