Film Night Monday 23/2012
We are happy to invite you to the thirteenth installment of Alpha-Beat Cinema Club at Kingsland Road Studio on Kingsland Road, thank you to Brendan and co. for having us again.
This week it's M for 'Marriage' with Rainer Werner Fassbinder's The Marriage Of Maria Braun. We welcome you a little later this week at 8pm with a film starting time of 8.15pm.
Fassbinder’s biggest international box-office success and the first part of his “postwar trilogy,” The Marriage of Maria Braun is a heartbreaking study of a woman picking herself up from the ruins of her own life, as well as a pointed metaphorical attack on a society determined to forget its past...
"A work of epic and poetic qualities" Francois Truffaut
Public and Studio friends welcome.

BoxPark Pop-up Mall in Shoreditch
BoxPark is a pop-up mall, next to Shoreditch High St station, a few minutes South of Hoxton, down the road from the studio. It's opposite Pizza East/Shoreditch House.
It's a novel idea that looks unique, with an impressive list of brands too, some established and some fresh/innovative organisations like Art Against Knives, set up by an innocent knife crime victim to help reduce street crime.
Perhaps there will be more of these in future, I'm unsure how long it will be there or what will be done with the space afterwards.
The brands present are below.
ABUZE / AMNESTY SHOP / ART AGAINST KNIVES / BOXFRESH / BOXPARK / BUKOWSKI / CALVIN KLEIN / CHOP'D / CRUSSH / CYBER CANDY / DAVID MAYAR NAMAN / DC SHOES / DOCKERS / ETNIES / EVISU / FARAH VINTAGE / FIFTY FIVE DSL / FOXCROFT & GINGER / FRAE FROZEN YOGHURT / GOLA / HOP-NAMO / IRREGULAR CHOICE / KANGOL / LACOSTE L!VE / LEVI'S / LUKE / MARIMEKKO / MEXWAY / NEW ERA / NIKE / OAKLEY / ONE TRUE SAXON / ONEPIECE / ORIGINAL PENGUIN / PALLADIUM / PHAIDON / PIEMINISTER / PLAYFUL PROMISES / PUMA / ROUTE ONE / SMILEY / THE NORTH FACE / URBANEARS / VANS

Trivia
Deep in the wilderness in the late afternoon with a field camera on your back, a glorious photo opportunity in perfect golden light just over the next ridge? Whether to forge ahead while the light lasts to secure the shot or to return to base before sunset? Stretch out an arm, raise a hand with the palm toward you and fingers parallel to the horizon. Align the side of your little finger with the skyline, and see how many fingers fit between it and the sun. Each finger means 15 minutes more light. An eminent cameraman cations: err on the safe side, ten minutes per finger may be more appropriate, fewer if you have large fingers; the method only works in higher latitudes - near the equator, the sun sets too quickly for measuring.

Top Dough
London has had its fair share of good cheeses, great coffee's and now an injection of Parisian inspired bakery which has become the new trend. Tucked away around the corner from our photography studio I stumbled across a very humble bread business, no thrills, just good honest bakery. E5 Bakehouse have been kneading out some very special peculiar treats for the east London area, this month they have names of bread like Hackney wild and Borodinsky loaf. The studio staff love it and we're even taking some home for xmas.

Dazed & Confused / 20 years of getting away with it
One of our resident artists had a write up in this months Dazed & Confused magazine shot by Rankin. Earlier on this year we posted a blog about his departure to the far north, here's what Dazed had to say...
Brendan's pallid landscapes are almost Herzogian in their atmosphere. The marks of the human punctuate the desolate washed-out palette of the vast natural wilderness. Brendan travels in order to test his body, hone his keen eye and sharpen his inquiring mind. When discussing the series he explains. "There is definitely a presence of nature. Mountains upon mountains, the whitest white and a freezing cold that is unavoidable. I had to experience all of these things. Without looking, smelling and tasting the world how can you make comment in your work?"
In Svalbard, the world's northernmost territory, Brendan shot the crisp clear photos on a large format camera: "The unknown is erotic, when you shoot film you never know what will come back" As part of the endurance process undertaken to shoot the series, he lugged the giant camera with him, snow breaking beneath his feet and the metal camera sticking to him, all while maintaining constant vigilance for roaming polar bears ( Something that proved difficult when beneath a camera hood ). The resulting photos capture both the place and the process and highlight the presence of man as being the definite but ultimately inconsequential in these remote locations.
Taking inspiration from sunshine and Cezanne, his tastes are unpretentious and honest, but his ambitions are huge. Brendan plans these excursions from his Kingsland Road Studio in east London.
