‘STAR: a psycho-typography of place’ Jenny Savage

£12.99 plus of £3 P&P

ISBN 0-9527802-9-1
This book marks the conclusion of Jennie Savage’s 3-year exploration into the STAR (Splott, Tremorfa, Adamsdown and Roath) area of Cardiff, which began with the notion of a radio broadcast created through the process of collaboration with those living within the neighbourhood and other artists. The STAR Radio broadcast event took place for one week in October 2005 and transmitted documentaries, sound projects, live programmes and music across the suburban districts of STAR in Cardiff. This new publication contextualises the project and the radio programmes made by a combination of 17 commissioned artists and the general public, creating a collection of information that transcends its locality, projecting a new ‘virtual map’ of a non-specific location. All the radio programmes have been archived by the artist within a number of categories and form the heart of the book in CD-Rom and DVD formats. In addition, the book includes essays by: Claire Doherty, Dr Tom Hall and Dr Brett Lashua, Matthew Yeomans, Andre Stitt and Wiard Sterk.

Mac Adams was born in Brynmawr, South Wales. Following his degree in fine art at Cardiff, he won a scholarship to Rutgers University and is now Professor of Photography at New York State University at Old Westbury. Adams is perhaps most famous for his public works in cities throughout the world, not least the 20ft black granite Memorial to the Korean War, the ‘Universal Soldier’ in Battery Park, New York City. His ‘Belvedere Solar Pavilion’ commissioned by CBAT and installed at Penarth Haven near Cardiff, is the first permanent public work in Wales. This book is the first full-colour monograph on the artist and includes Adam’s intriguing photographs and shadow sculptures, many of which were included in the touring exhibition initiated by CBAT.

Nigel Meager

£6.00 (incl. p & p) £5.00 if collecting

The pack has been written for both non-art-specialist teachers in primary schools (teaching Year 5 and 6) and specialist art teachers in secondary schools (teaching Year 7 and 8). The intention is to both provide enough information and support for the primary school teacher whilst at the same time offering their art-trained secondary colleagues some stimulating ideas for work inspired by a visit to the Inner Harbour at Cardiff-Bay. The pack contains ready-to-use pupils worksheets. These are presented as photocopy masters and run to 16 sides of A4. Seven artworks from the Inner Harbour are featured plus a brief from the Cardiff bay Arts Trust for a new artwork to be designed by the pupils themselves. There is also a 32-page A4 book of teachers’ notes and support material. The pack is illustrated throughout by reproductions of artists’ drawings and photographs of artworks themselves.
