Turner, Monet, Twombly: Later Paintings

07 Aug 2012 / Comments Off / in Visual Arts/by Michael Langan
[rating=5]

Tate Liverpool, Albert Dock, Liverpool L3 4BB • June 22 – October 28, 2012

Tate Liverpool, in conjunction with the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, have brought together the later works of Turner, Monet and Twombly for a remarkable exhibition.

“It’s incredible to think that there are only three generations between these artists but, as this show illustrates, all were engaged in a radical reinvention of what painting is; and it’s this experimental energy that is passed on directly between them.”

Interview: Nik Kershaw

06 Aug 2012 / Comments Off / in Interviews/by Christopher Bryant

Nik Kershaw talks about the new album EI8HT, politics, pop lyrics and how 1980s pop stars thought they were saving the world.

“Back in the day a lot of us took ourselves way too seriously. But we were encouraged to. We were saving the planet with Live Aid, weren’t we? We had this ridiculous sense of self-importance, and it was difficult not to take yourself seriously.”

Allan Massie’s Dark Summer in Bordeaux, the sequel to Death in Bordeaux, is a worthy successor.

2012 Hours Against Hate and the Walk A Mile initiative, headed by Hilary Clinton, launched on July 24 at The Hospital Club in London.

About Polari Magazine

Polari Magazine is an LGBT arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it. It’s about the lives we lead, not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead.

Its content is informed & insightful, and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community. Its intent is to help LGBT readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past.

Polari is designed to nurture the idea of community, whether that be social and political, or artistic and creative. It is your magazine, whether you want to read it, or whether you want to get involved in it, if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer.

Polari Magazine is all these: it's a gay online magazine; it's a gay and lesbian online magazine; it's an LGBT arts and culture magazine. Ultimately, it is a queer magazine.
