Chelsea College of Art and Tate Libraries
I recently visited the Chelsea College of Art and Design library and the Tate Library. They are both part of SCONUL ACCESS - although the Tate only allows staff and PHDs to borrow. However, any member of the public can register as reader and have reference access.
Both libraries have amazing collections and are happy to have our students visit. I would always advise a phone call first since most materials have to be retrieved from storage.

Mark Rothko Exhibition Tate Modern
http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/markrothko/default.shtm
Tate Modern presents an exhibition by one of the world’s most famous and best-loved artists, Mark Rothko. This is the first significant exhibition of his work to be held in the UK for over 20 years.
Tate Modern's iconic 'Rothko Room' works are reunited for the first time with works from Japan. The Seagram Murals were originally commissioned for The Four Seasons Restaurant in the Seagram Building New York.
Rothko’s iconic paintings, composed of luminous, soft-edged rectangles saturated with colour, are among the most enduring and mysterious created by an artist in modern times. In the exhibition his paintings glow meditatively from the walls in deep dark reds, oranges, maroons, browns, blacks, and greys.
The exhibition will also focus on other work in series, such as the Black-Form paintings, his large-scale Brown and Grey works on paper, and his last series of Black on Grey paintings, created in the final decade of his life from 1958-1970.

National Art Library
http://www.vam.ac.uk/nal/
I recently visited the National Art Library at the V&A and I will be encouraging our students to go there.
The National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum is a majorpublic reference library. Its strength lies in the range and depth of its holdings of documentary material concerning the fine and decorativearts of many countries and periods. It is also the curatorial departmentfor the art, craft and design of thebook, details of which can be found in the Prints & Books collection.
It is such a stunning library with unique resources - including many databases which our students can use. They even offer user education sessions on Tuesday.

New Olympic Archive for UEL
We have just been successful in securing £100K from the Joint Information Systems Committee for a one-year project to create a digital Olympics Archive. Our archive will be called East London Lives – a unique digital archive of ‘London 2012’. It will record and reflect on the process of social change in East London arising from hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games, focusing on two of the key Olympic promises - social regeneration and health and wellbeing.
It is a joint bid between three parts of our university - the London East Research Institute (Professor Gavin Poynter and Dr Iain Macrury), the Institute of Health and Human Development (Professor Adrian Renton) and Library and Learning Services. Our partner is the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council.

British Printed Images Pre-1700 - Conference
BRITISH PRINTED IMAGES PRE-1700 **
Is a conference jointly organised by the Victoria and Albert Museum and
Birkbeck, University of London.
Venue: Victoria & Albert Museum, London
Auditorium, Sackler Centre
Date: Friday 12 & Saturday 13 September 2008
10.30-17.00
Cost: £110 for 2 days, £55 for 1 day, concessions available
This conference is about the status and role of early printed images in Britain
in books and elsewhere. There is an international line up of speakers.
Printed images were widely circulated in early modern Britain and they provide
vivid and revealing evidence about many aspects of the culture of the period.
Yet only recently have historians begun to give them proper attention, and
this conference will be one of the first to draw out their significance. Themes
will include the importance of printed images for the history of the Reformation
and post-Civil War politics, the emergence of new genres like topographical
engraving and mezzotint, and the place of prints in the developing consumer
market. Speakers will include Kevin Sharpe, Anthony Griffiths, John King, Justin
Campion, Michael Hunter and Alex Walsham.
The conference is linked to, and will showcase, an innovative project in the
form of the AHRB-funded British Printed Images to 1700 project, which will
make available pre-1700 prints in the British Museum and selected material
from the V&A and other collections.
In association with Birkbeck College, University of London Supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council

European Comic Art - new journal
This is not a journal that we subscribe to at the moment but it does look interesting.
european comic art
ISSN 1754-3797(print) 1754-3800 (online)
European Comic Art is the first English-language scholarly publication devoted to the study of European-language graphic novels, comic strips, comic books and caricature. Published in association with the American Bande Dessinée Society and the International Bande Dessinée Society, European Comic Art builds on existing scholarship in French-language comic art and will be able to draw on the scholarly activities undertaken by both organisations.
European Comic Art is available in both print and online form and will serve as a forum where different theoretical and critical approaches, as well as national comics traditions, can meet.
We would particularly welcome articles in these areas:
The current 'manga-isation' of the European comics scene by Asian comics
Mutual influences of French and American comics

european comic art
ISSN 1754-3797(print) 1754-3800 (online)
European Comic Art is the first English-language scholarly publication devoted to the study of European-language graphic novels, comic strips, comic books and caricature. Published in association with the American Bande Dessinée Society and the International Bande Dessinée Society, European Comic Art builds on existing scholarship in French-language comic art and will be able to draw on the scholarly activities undertaken by both organisations.
European Comic Art is available in both print and online form and will serve as a forum where different theoretical and critical approaches, as well as national comics traditions, can meet.
We would particularly welcome articles in these areas:
The current 'manga-isation' of the European comics scene by Asian comics
Mutual influences of French and American comics
Feminist comic art and women cartoonists
Comics without words
Hergé and the clear-line school of cartooning
Cartoonist collectives and independent publishers since 1990

Global Memory Net
An interesting cross discipline collection.
Directed by Prof. Ching-chih Chen of Simmons College, Boston and supported by the NSF/International Digital Library Program (IDLP), Global Memory Net (GMNet) is intended to be a model global digital library of cultural, historical, and heritage image collections. Much of these unique collections of great value to education and research are not currently accessible due to distance, form, and technical barriers. This project is to find new ways to enable users to access and exploit these significant collections via global network. Each collaborator of this complimentary and synergetic group possesses experience, knowledge, expertise, and capability in different but related research area(s). Each contributes either part of its superb culture and heritage collection, or cutting-edge techniques to facilitate the image retrieval.
GMNet is also a gateway to world invaluable resources. Over 2400 digital collections from over 80 countries were identified and integrated with the current GMNet collections for instant retrieval

Iconic poster archive launched online
VADS is pleased to announce that a stunning collection of posters by Tom Eckersley has been digitized and is now available online at vads.ac.ukEckersley is one of the foremost poster designers and graphic communicators of the last century. He used bold simple designs, often resembling collage, and the collection reflects the range of his work from propaganda posters to his post-war posters. The collection was formed by Eckersley and is held at the University of the Arts London Archives and Special Collections Centre.Eckersley's bold, graphic statements coupled with memorable slogans and unique use of colour, were seen promoting some of the most iconic of British institutions such as London Transport, General Post Office, The Ministry of Information and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA). Eckersley was also a teacher of poster arts and established the first graphic design course in Britain at the London School/College of Printing (now College of Communication, part of University of the Arts London).Over 100 posters are now available online from this unique archive and further images will be launched on VADS in the coming months.The collection complements other resources on vads.ac.uk such as the Imperial War Museum's poster collection which includes works by Eckersley and his contemporaries such as F H K Henrion and Abram Games.For more information about the Eckersley Archive, see vads.ac.uk/collections/TEC

Street and Studio: An Urban History of Photography
http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/streetandstudio/
I attend the above show on Saturday. Very impressive range of work but perhaps too large and varied to form one exhibit.
My favourite part was looking at the very old 19th century photographs and seeing faces that you would see on the streets today. It brought the exhibit to life for me.

Curated by Negar Azimi for tank.tv
A selection of short videos by Ziad Antar, Yael Bartana, Haris Epaminonda, Iman Issa, Hassan Khan, Rosalind Nashashibi, Shahryar Nashat, Ahmet Ögüt, and The Atlas Group reveal the weight of diverse histories in defining the current moment—whether manifest in the form of national myth, ritual, architecture, or pop culture. In the end, these are not static narratives; they are dynamic, promiscuous, enigmatic.

We aim to show as many films as is humanly possible and give them unique international exposure at the same time! It's in the spirit of guerilla cinema and we need as much word-of-mouth support as we can get. We can offer links and advertising in return for sponsorship and would love to support whoever we can. For more information and to find out how to get involved go to: http://www.cannesinavan.com/
