Destroy This Memory
I was very fortunate to attend the ‘Landscape and Eschatology’ symposium at Tate Britain a couple of weeks back. Set up alongside the John Martin exhibition, a number of key academics and artists spoke on Landscape, City and Apocalypse. A topic that felt somehow unnervingly current.

Nyskjaeret Nyskjaeret in Svalbard Photo: Max McClure Alex Hartley searched for and discovered Nyskjaeret in 2004. The island had been revealed by the melting ice of a retreating glacier.

It is...

These woodlands offer an entirely different experience to somewhere like Grizedale, however in many ways aim to fore fill the same social needs. ‘The Dream’ by spanish Artsist, Juame Plensa is...
