Chief Moose Makers // Moose was directed by Val Williams, creatively produced by Wendy Short and organised by Monica Takvam and Brigitte Lardinois

Hsiao-chi Tsai studied BA Textile design at Chelsea in 2004 and Kimiya Yoshikawa studied Fine Art Sculpture in 2004.

The light and sound duo have teamed up to exhibit across the world a number of times before. The Light and Dark Fantastic piece was initially shown at London’s PM Gallery and House in 2012.

The pairs most high-profile showing for their bloom-based artwork, would be their 2007 Harvey Nichols department store ‘Futuristic Flowers’ installation.

For more information please visit The Public or Chelsea College of Art & Design website.

The programme will be the first time that some of L’Herbier’s most significant feature films and shorts have been gathered together into a coherent showcase in the UK. It was L’Herbier’s cross-disciplinary collaborative approach that helped establish him as a seminal figure within Paris’ vibrant artistic milieu of the inter-war years.

The Festival programme uses fashion and design as the prism through which to examine L’Herbier’s diverse body of work. As illustrated by some of his most remarkable films such as L’Argent (1928), L’Inhumaine (1923) and L’Epervier (1933), the director had a keen interest in fashion and style, an interest that culminated in his short La Mode revée (1938), a ‘fashion film’ dedicated to promoting the major French couturiers at the 1939 World Fair in New York.

For more information please visit the Fashion in Film Festival website.

“Beginning my art student life in fashion design, I moved to the history of modern art and design, giving me an opportunity to look across different disciplines and at the neglected history of the Independent Group. This diverse collection of architects, artists, designers, one musician and three writers inspired me, and I am proud to say I published on this subject in the esteemed Middlesex University publication BLOCK in 1985, along with Penny Sparke.”

“Since then my work has encompassed a variety of subjects, including the neglected history of interior design and the influence of Hollywood on design, the integration of autobiography with art history and the history of the chair. In my lecture, I will consider the connections between historiography and my life as an art and design historian. I started by looking at the overlooked, but now find the overlooked is looked at more and more.”

Professor Anne Massey

Professor Massey’s research has covered a wide range of subjects, from the impact of Hollywood on design to the interior design of ocean liners. Following the collapse of the Berlin Wall, she wrote the first cultural guide to Berlin and East Germany. She recently published the book Chair (Reaktion/Chicago University Press, 2011) and Out of the Ivory Tower: the Independent Group and Popular Culture (Manchester University Press, 2013), a sequel to an earlier work which investigates the untold history of popular culture in 1950s London.

In recognition of her work on The Independent Group, the Institute of Contemporary Arts appointed her as its first Associate Academic in Residence in 2012.

Professor Massey is the Founding Editor of the academic journal launched by Berg, Interiors: Design, Architecture, Culture, and the recipient of several awards from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

Keynotes

Simon Murray – “Lightness of touch: politics and embodiment in collaboration”

Rosemary Butcher and Susan Melrose – A dialogue: “Just in time: collaborative memory work and judgement in dance-making practices”

The symposium features a range of research papers and practice interventions, and includes performance installations by Angela Woodhouse and Henrietta Hale, as well as Jane Bacon and Vida Midgelow. Gerard Bell and Karen Christopher will be performing their work So Below (Haranczak/Navarre Performance Projects) to conclude the event.

The symposium specifically focuses on the politics of collaborative practice in performance-making and related disciplinary areas, addressing issues such as:

•  The politics of working together: relationships between collaborators at work

•  Modes of performance-making: the ongoing search for alternative modes of work

•  Identity and performance: going beyond oneself in contemporary contexts

•  Theorising collaboration: matters of authorship in a networked age

•  Collaboration across disciplinary and cultural boundaries

Further information can be accessed on Middlesex University website or the symposium website with more updates to follow.

Registration is open, please book here.

In this workshop we look at how to manage the challenging and often difficult conversations that you come across as a leader. The conversation may be offering feedback for a task or lesson which does not reach the required level of quality, failure to deliver or addressing unprofessional behaviour. This practical session will provide you with a framework to elicit a successful outcome.
