Founded in 1326 by Adam de Brome under the patronage of Edward II, Oriel College (The Provost and Scholars of the House of the Blessed Mary the Virgin in Oxford, commonly called Oriel College, of the Foundation of Edward the Second of famous memory, sometime King of England), is the 5th oldest constituent college of the University of Oxford, and the oldest of the royal colleges.

As such, Oriel has also been known as King’s College and King’s Hall, and the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom (now His Majesty King Charles III) is the official ’Visitor’ of the College.

The College of the Blessed Mary began with a Provost and just 10 Fellows (called ‘Scholars’), all graduates, who studied Theology, Law and Medicine. Soon after its foundation though, Adam de Brome acquired for the college a property called ‘La Oriole’ on the site of the present Front Quadrangle, and gradually the college came to be called by that name ('La Oriole’ referring to an oratoriolum, or oriel window, forming a feature of the property).

Whilst Oriel remained a small body of graduate Fellows until the 16th century, by the late 18th to early 19th centuries the College is considered to have led the way in reforming academic standards in Oxford and also in a religious revival known as the ’Oxford Movement’. Many great names arrived, among them Dr Thomas Arnold (later Headmaster of Rugby College), and the Blessed John Henry Newman (later Cardinal Newman). By the late 1800s however, Oriel was perhaps better known for prowess at rowing, football and cricket, than in final exams.

The main site of the College incorporates four medieval halls: Bedel Hall, St Mary Hall, St Martin Hall and Tackley’s Inn; the last being the earliest property acquired by the college and the oldest standing medieval hall in Oxford.

The buildings of Oriel College were used as a location for Hugh Grant’s first film, ’Privileged’ (1982), as well as ’Oxford Blues’ (1984), ’True Blue’ (1991) and ’The Dinosaur Hunter’ (2000). Episodes of the television crime series ’Inspector Morse’ were also filmed at the College; though the opera-loving detective’s final scene in ’The Remorseful Day’, the episode in which Morse (played by John Thaw) died, was filmed at Exeter College.

Oriel’s colours are two white stripes on Oxford Blue, (used also on the college scarf, sports clothing and oar blades); and notable people associated with Oriel, include: Sir Walter Raleigh (16th-century explorer); John Keble, E.B. Pusey, and John Henry Newman (later, Cardinal Newman; principal founders of the Oxford Movement); and two Nobel Prize recipients: Alexander Todd (Chemistry) and James Meade (Economics).

Although King Edward II was favourably disposed towards the plans Adam de Brome had formulated for Oriel, the founding of the College coincided with the collapse of Edward’s authority (followed by the King being deposed and murdered), and it was only by dealing with Hugh Despenser, the emerging focus of political power, that Oriel received its ‘royal’ charter on 21 January 1326.

De Brome was the first Provost of the College, and was as energetic in finding the funds to add to its endowment as he was in negotiating the turbulent political situation between the end of the reign of Edward II and the start of Edward III’s.

Adam passed on June 16, 1332. He rests in St Mary’s Church, Oxford.

“Stranger Fruit,” Jon Henry Photography,

Jon Henry’s Stranger Fruit series, named after the well-know song originally by Billie Holiay, was created in response to the murders of Black men across the US by police.

In Stranger Fruit, Henry photographs American mothers with their sons in a pieta-like arrangement, reenacting the pain for loss that is too common for Black families in the United States.

John Henry's work 'Stranger Fruit' is kept at the Blue Skye Gallery on 122 NW 8th Ave Portland. There are 16 outstanding photos taken by Henry. I have seen a bold statement and genuine emotions behind the people he's captured in every picture. Jon Henry is a visual artist working with photography and text, from Queens, NY, now residing in Brooklyn. His work reflects on family, socio-political issues, grief, trauma, and healing within the African American community. His work has been published nationally and internationally and exhibited in numerous galleries, including Aperture Foundation, Smack Mellon, and BRIC. Known foremost for cultural activism in his work, his projects include studies of athletes from different sports and their representations. He was recently awarded the Arnold Newman Grant for New Directions in Photographic Portraiture and a 2020 En Foco Fellowship. Henry was named one of LensCulture's Emerging Artists for 2019 and won the Film Photo Prize for Continuing Film Project sponsored by Kodak.

Both of these images have compelling meanings; #19 caught my attention because it was so loud, meaning just the black lady sitting down with what it portrays to be her son pretending to be wounded in the middle of the city speaks a thousand words. I admire how the world is moving behind them, but you're forced to focus on them. I love the lighting, and the flower bead they used to sit on adds texture to the photo. Another photo I am interested in #49. This photo is compelling because of the setting, being in front of the Whitehouse and trying to portray the message of a black man being murdered. Going back into history, black people built the white house, so the correlation is innovative. Both photos are well composition to be in the middle of the city, and sitting at an angle where the white house is directly behind you makes the message more powerful. The colors used in both pictures are very vibrant, and the background for picture#49 gives off a blurred look making the mother and son the focus.

John Henry's overall message responds to the senseless murders of black men across the nation by police violence. Even with phones and cameras recording the actions, more lives get cut short due to unnecessary and excessive violence. Nobody knows who will be; next, john states, "The mothers in the photographs have not lost their sons, but understand the reality, that this could happen to their family. The mother is also photographed in isolation, reflecting on the absence. When the trials are over, the protesters have gone home, and the news cameras are gone, it is the mother left. Left to mourn, to survive." These photos are showing what these mothers who are victimized by these situations are left with. John Henry is a fantastic photographer, I love his pieces, and I look forward to seeing what other work he will put out. Not many black photographers try to capture these feelings and pain that our community goes through; making sure the world can see it is crucial.

AMINI 17 Programme 29 | 30 September Festival of Artists’ Moving Image The MAC, Belfast Tickets here 2 day pass: £20 (£10 concession)

Friday 29th September 11am - Screening The Future is Another Country, curated by Rana Öztürk

Image: A Numbness in the Mouth (2016) Kevin Gaffney If a future exists, does it still offer a better world than the present one? How are we to imagine the future, if what has been promised in the past has already failed and dissolved into a present full of conflicts, ecological problems, injustice and inequality? This selection of films intends to present how artists respond to these questions through the medium of film. Each film presents a different perspective, hinting at possibilities that do not override, refute, nor necessarily affirm those presented in the others. Hence, the selected group of films suggest a multiplicity of futures that cannot be articulated through a single vision.

Rana Öztürk is a lecturer, writer and curator from Istanbul, where she moved after completing her PhD in Visual Culture at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin in 2015. She is currently 2017 curator-in-residence at MExIndex.

The programme is curated from the collection of artists’ films that are supported through MExIndex.

Programme Post-Fordlândia (2011) 20 mins - Tom Flanagan & Megs Morley A Numbness in the Mouth (2016) 17 mins - Kevin Gaffney American Dreams #5: Cruise Control (2016) 7 mins - Moira Tierney In Death & Fiction ( 2013) 6 min. - Louise Manifold Sitting Room (2012) 16 mins - Patrick Jolley Ways to Speculate (2014) 4 mins - Michelle Deignan

12noon - Discussion The role of archives and collections in artists’ moving image practice The screening will be followed by a discussion around the purpose of National and Regional archives and collections, and their relationship with the artist and their work. Panel: Ben Cook LUX, Fifi Smith MExIndex, Sarah Smith GSA, Michael Hanna & Jacqueline Holt AMINI. Discussion mornings are supported by Visual Arts Ireland.

2.30 pm - Screening She Speaks, curated by Catalyst Arts

Image: Saute Ma Ville (1968) - Chantal Akerman This curated programme will present a selection of film and moving image works produced by women artists, from 1968 to present. In different ways each artist and film-maker explores the transformation and (mis) interpretations of domestic routines, objects, images and narratives, translated whilst simultaneously subverting their symbolic meaning and reconfiguring female representation. Catalyst Arts is an artist-led space based in Belfast, formed in 1993 in response to a deep cultural vacuum. It is Belfast’s primary artist-led organisation, run by volunteer co-directors with the aim of promotion of contemporary art practices by large selection of artists and experimental projects from the widest possible range of disciplines.

Programme: Saute Ma Ville (1968) 13 Mins - Chantal Akerman Chiara Fumai reads Valerie Solanas (2016) 10 Mins - Chiara Fumai After Picasso, God (2016) 42 Mins, Sophie Cundale

4.00 pm - Screening No Brakes, No Gears, No Fear, curated by Peter Taylor

Image: Konfessions of a Klaboutermann (2017) - Hardeep Pandhal

Peter Taylor is the director of the Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival (BFMAF), a key date in the calendar for artists’ moving image in the UK. Fresh from the 2017 Festival, just the weekend before this year’s AMINI 17, he will present new films from Hardeep Pandhal, Charlotte Prodger and Margaret Salmon, all especially commissioned for Berwick.

"No Breaks, No Gears, No Fear" is the motto of the Berwick Bandits Speedway team. Peter Taylor has borrowed this sentiment to reflect the shared attitude between the BFMAF and the tenacious artists that they work with.

Through the open doors at Sheffield Park, the Berwick Bandits’ home, Margaret Salmon has created Mm a stunning 35mm direct cinema work, with grit, glowing light and the sounds of Sacred Paws. Mm’s feminist investigation into masculinity, language and speedway wasn't the only seat-of-the-pants collaboration at BFMAF 2017.

Artist in Profile Hardeep Pandhal’s Konfessions of a Klabautermann is a blisteringly chaotic new animation, scored by musician Joe Howe (Sunbutler, Ben Butler and Mousepad, Germlin), offering bold provocations on racial profiling, class and means of resistance.

With Charlotte Prodger's residency in Berwick marking the beginning of an open-ended period of research into an idea of ‘queer rurality’ and wilderness, Laura Guy has suggested that her new work LHB, asks ‘what happens to our sense of self when the only eyes upon us are animal ones?’.

Programme: Konfessions of a Klaboutermann (2017) 13 min - Hardeep Pandhal LHB (2017) 20 min - Charlotte Prodger Mm (2017) 23 min - Margaret Salmon

7.00pm - Artist Presentation Duncan Campbell

Image: The Welfare of Tomás Ó Hallissy (2016) - Duncan Campbell Duncan Campbell is an Irish video artist, based in Glasgow. He was the winner of the 2014 Turner Prize. Falls Burns Malone Fiddles ((2004) - “Campbell produced the enigmatic yet compelling Fall Burns Malone Fiddles by piecing together a series of black and white still images of young working class people and depressed neighbourhoods , sourced from a Belfast archive (Belfast Exposed) The soundtrack to this montage of photographs was the Edinburgh-born actor Ewan Bremner (perhaps best known as Spud in the film Trainspotting ) reading a rhythmic monologue , which combined excerpts of dense sociological theory with looser, stream of consciousness passages.” – Sarah Lowndes

The Welfare of Tomás Ó Hallissy (2016) - Inspired by anthropological studies into the huge incidence of mental illness in rural Ireland in the 1960’s and 70’s (notably Paul Hockings and Mark McCarty’s 1968 production “The Village”), The Welfare of Tomás Ó Hallissy, is a portrait of a society on the brink of irreversible change seen through the eyes of two American anthropologists who arrive to study this dying culture. The film revolves around the protagonist, Tomás, a speechless 10 year -old boy, whose life spans the cusp of the old world and the new. Meanwhile the anthropologists question their own methodology as they struggle to get beyond the opaque and ritualistic social relations that define this place.

Programme: Falls Burns Malone Fiddles (2004) 33 mins - Duncan Campbell The Welfare of Tomás Ó Hallissy (2016) 31mins - Duncan Campbell

Screening followed by Duncan Campbell in conversation with Ben Cook LUX and Jacqueline Holt AMINI

Saturday 30th September

11am - Artist Presentation Kate Davis

Image: Charity (2017) - Kate Davis Kate Davis, winner of the 16|17 Margaret Tait award will present a screening programme of her work. Working across a range of media, including film and video, drawing, printmaking, installation and bookworks, Davis questions how historical narratives are produced and perpetuated. This has often involved probing the aesthetic and political ambiguities of particular artworks and specific historical moments from a contemporary feminist perspective. Programme: Weight (2014) 11min - Kate Davis Disgrace (2009) 9 min - Kate Davis Charity (2017) 16 min - Kate Davis

12noon - Discussion How artists moving image differs to short film in terms of funding and production The screening will be followed by a discussion around the funding and production of artists’ moving image. Panel: Ben Cook LUX, Kate Davis, Marta Michalowska Film London, Christine Morrow NI Screen, Michael Hanna & Jacqueline Holt AMINI. Discussion mornings are supported by Visual Arts Ireland.

2.30 pm - Screening Defensible Space, curated by AMINI

Image: Birth of a Nation (2017) - Jem Cohen The term Defensible space refers to "a residential environment whose physical characteristics - building layout and site plan - function to allow inhabitants themselves to become key agents in ensuring their security." Architect Oscar Newman proposes that a housing development is only defensible if residents intend to adopt this role, which is defined by good design: "Defensible space therefore is a sociophysical phenomenon". Both society and physical elements are parts of a successful defensible space. Programme:

Assumed Position (2005) 5min - Michelle Deignan A Visitor (2017) 14min - Jamie Buckley Intro-Bee-ing Sequential Spectrum [cold open] (2014) 1min - Seamus Harahan Electrical Gaza (2015) 18min - Rosalind Nashashibi Birth of a Nation (2017) 9min - Jem Cohen

4 pm - Talk Slurs, Stutters and Screams: Articulations of Hollywood’s Unconscious in Artists’ Found Footage Films - Presented by Sarah Smith

Image: Him and Her (2008) - Candice Breitz This talk briefly explores three examples of artists’ films from the past twenty-five years that use various methods of sampling to uncover latent meanings or values in the original texts they cite: Douglas Gordon’s 24-Hour Psycho (1993), Martin Arnold’s Alone: Life Wastes Andy Hardy (1998) and Candice Breitz’s Him and Her (2008). Dr Sarah Smith is a Reader in Visual Culture and Head of Fine Art Critical Studies at the Glasgow School of Art, where she has taught since 2001.

7 pm - Screening Jarman Award Screening + in conversation with Marianna Simnett

Image: The Needle and the Larynx (2016) - Marianna Simnett

The 10th anniversary edition of the Jarman Award celebrates an eclectic group of artists who resist being placed in a singular, defining box. Their practices are as diverse as the field of moving image itself. Each speaks with their own voice from their own place with their own visual style. These artists’ works are the result of sharp observation, complex intellectual and aesthetic inquiry, and depth of thought, but this does not make them devoid of humour and playfulness. They do not shy away from ‘big’ subjects, and they do so without beautifying, simplifying or turning to clichés. They touch on human fragility, the limitations and boundaries of the body, mental health, death in the digital age and the legacy we leave behind, gender stereotypes and sexuality. PART 1 The Needle and the Larynx (2016) 15min - Marianna Simnett Revisiting Genesis – Episode 2 (2016) 8min - Oreet Ashery Rubber Coated Steel (2016) 22min - Lawrence Abu Hamdan Out of Bounds (A) (2016) 5min - Melanie Manchot During the interval there will be a conversation between Jarman Award nominee Marianna Simnett and researcher and writer Maeve Connolly. PART 2 Out of Bounds (B) (2016) 12min - Melanie Manchot BRIDGIT (2016) 32min - Charlotte Prodger Janus Collapse (2016) 10min - Adham Faramawy

AIPAD 2017: Further Observations

By Belle McIntyre

What caught my eye immediately upon entering were the extremely large and gorgeous works of Christian Voight, a German photographer represented by UNIX Gallery. He seems to have a deep attraction to grand and formerly-grand architecture and spaces loaded with detail, such as the interior of one of the rooms in the Morgan Library, a jewelry-filled market stall in Istanbul, and a remarkable image of a bank of old rusty safety deposits boxes in Chicago, one of which belonged to the infamous criminal, Al Capone. It appears to be life size and captures the colors and textures of the old corroding metal in what achieves a hyper-realistic quality. He uses a printing technique called lite-jet on dibond which allows for pure light-saturated color. They are extraordinary.

My penchant for rusty metal was also gratified by seeing the work of the Swiss artist, Beatrice Helg at Joel Soroka. She builds Richard Serra-ish structures to create abstract sets composed of elements of richly patinated metal. These large archival pigment printed images are on Baryta paper and have an almost tactile surface richness and luminous quality that feels moonlit. The large black and white lenticular images on dibond by George Legrady at Kopeikin Gallery provide the novelty of seeing multiple layers of different images in various states of opacity and transparency depending on the viewers position. They are both fascinating and addictively engaging. The central image at Hoppen, a large-scale photo realistic print by Manuel Franquelo was highly effective at bringing people into the booth to examine it up close and marvel at it’s precision. The Spanish artist achieved his reputation as a trompe l’oeil painter and sculptor. His foray into photography is consistent with his painting. Diametrically opposed to the images of Voight, this work is notable for the banality of its subject matter which consists of simple, worn shelves holding humble objects from his work space against an aging painted wall. And yet a close examination is an irresistible urge. Lest you have the impression that the super sized, in-your face eye candy is the most noteworthy work in the show, rest assured that is emphatically not the case. I believe I am exhibiting something which I will call “fair-goer syndrome” and I do not imagine I am alone in this. Definition (my own): when faced with so much bounty one needs to go through the process of normalizing the large, the new, and the showy. Then it is possible to focus on the more intimate, personal and highly-charged work as well as familiar and less familiar vintage treasures. I overheard the comment from an art world insider: “The galleries have really upped their game and brought out the best work”. I totally agree. The selections were creatively curated and installed in ways that juxtaposed divergent works to mutual advantage.

The large and roomy space occupied by Throckmorton allows the gallery to show the wide-ranging work of the Latin American artists which they represent as well as vintage work and contemporary in an almost sitting room-feeling. Margo Davis was there signing books. It was all very inviting. As always, there was much socially and politically motivated work. The work of documentarian Daniela Zalcman, winner of the Arnold Newman Prize, was featured in the booth devoted to that project. It consists of moving and compelling portraits of indigenous north Americans who were part of a well intentioned but oppressive and badly-facilitated Canadian education program for that under-served population. She uses a variety of techniques to portray them along with their own terrible stories of how they were mistreated and abused. Obviously, deeply-felt and effectively impactful. There were several gorgeous and provocative images by the eco-activist Edward Burtynsky. There were also a welcome number of images from Africa throughout the show, perhaps a trend inspired by last year’s Focus on Africa in the Armory Show. They showcased a large array of artists; raising the precedent of Photography exhibition once again.

Installation at the HAUL exhibition, a project by artist Emily Schiffer, and one of the container exhibitions this weekend at Photoville 2016. HAUL uses photography and sculpture to reimagine the concept of a family album. Schiffer is the 2010 Arnold Newman Prize winner. Maine Media is honored to be the new host of the Arnold Newman Prize. Head over to mainemedia.edu/newman to find out more and submit. Emily Schiffer shared some words with us about how The Arnold Newman Prize has impacted her: “Beyond the obvious impact [the prize] had on my career, it got me thinking about what exactly it means to take portraiture in a new direction. I started searching for unusual ways to use images, which ultimately led to SEE POTENTIAL, a public art installation in collaboration with Magnum Foundation and the Center for Urban Transformation. It also led me toward Danube Revisited: The Inge Morath Truck Project, which converted a truck into a mobile gallery that travelled the entire length of the Danube River. Now, this quest for a new direction in portraiture has me thinking about photography’s impact on memory, family narratives, and the intergenerational transmission of trauma. I’m building sculptures out of portraits, slicing and reassembling images, and making plaster impressions of faces.”

Sian Davey is a photographer based in the South West of England and received the 2016 Arnold Newman Prize for New Directions in Photographic Portraiture for her photographic work titled, “Looking for Alice.”

We recently had the pleasure of talking with Sian about her new body of work titled “Martha” and how the Arnold Newman Prize has led to this project.

“The Arnold Newman Prize gave me a real boost of confidence. It was entirely unexpected. Because the nature of my work as a fine art photographer, these types of awards help support my practice. My project 'Looking for Alice' has strong social/political themes that I felt needed to be communicated and this is effectively what has happened as a result of gaining this award.” Sian replied after being asked how the prize has affected her life.

We asked Sian what she has been working on since the award and she showed us some pictures of her work and said the following, “Since the award I have been working on a project about my daughter Martha, making use of the light before we head into winter. Each part of the journey marks a psychological shift in her emotional development. So I have been working closely with that. As I move deeper into the project i have formed a more intimate relationship with the teenagers which I hope is communicated in the images.”

The idea for this project began while Sian was photographing Alice. In her artist statement Sian writes, “‘Why don’t you photograph me anymore.’ This is what Martha said to me in response to my camera being focused so often on her sister Alice. It took me by surprise. I wasn’t aware that she would care, but clearly she did.”

Since then Sian has been documenting Martha and the relationships she has with her friends and the world around her.

As a last remark on the prize Sian said, “I can now continue to develop future projects because of the Arnold Newman Prize.”
