Early 19th Century Life-Size Articulated Artist's Mannequin - Paul Huot, c. 1800

From the seller, Arnie Barnicoat:

This figure was owned by my late husband John Barnicoat. He was offered her in 1972 when he was head of Falmouth School of Art. She was originally placed on a large wooden stand which we disposed of at the time. This was in 1972. We were both drawn to her as an art object, a life sized ‘doll’, due to the way she was made and we had a true appreciation of her qualities. We always had her seated on a little wooden French antique chair in corners of our various living rooms: From a stone village house in Cornwall to homes in London and Hertfordshire. We named her Muriel after a French film of the same name 1963 directed by Alain Resnais. This makes me wonder if we had been told at the time that she was French. I don’t remember. We have never attempted to renovate her in anyway. Strange as it may seem she was always a ‘member’ of our family and always referred to as ‘Muriel’. It is a wrench to see her leave us.

Based on collection descriptions, it appears that Muriel may have been purchased by the Cambridge University's Fitzwilliam Museum for their exhibition, Silent Partners: Artist & Mannequin, from Function to Fetish.

I was really not prepared to participate in an art show! I didn't have a bad time, I just had no idea what to expect, and also should have worn much more comfortable shoes.

I got there right on time for the members-only hour, earlier than almost anyone else. They gave me a name tag with a photo of my painting printed in the background. While it was still quiet, multiple members of the art org's staff pulled me aside to introduce themselves and...tell me what they thought of my painting, basically? Got some comments like "A lot of us really liked it" (great), "It might make some people uncomfortable, but it's memorable and intense and that's what makes art valuable" (thanks), "I know it's trite to say this but it is very visceral" (yeah!), and "the teens were in here the other day to judge the youth committee prize and you got a lot of sticky notes next to yours" (cool). I was mostly kind of uncomfortable, but I can see how this sort of thing could quickly become a person's personal cocaine.

An upbeat local media producer with deep mauve eye bags interviewed me and the artist whose painting was next to mine (she had painted a beautiful, slightly abstracted forest landscape of Falmouth, Maine). This was the part I was really unprepared for! Fortunately I've had to explain the painting to people a few times, since I worked on it during Open Hacks around other people...but this was a much artier crowd, and despite technically knowing how, I really don't want to talk about it like "I'm juxtaposing familiar objects with a transgressive concept to blah blah blah etc". He was like "man, my insurance won't approve shit, we gotta nationalize healthcare" which, so right.

The gallery quickly got extremely crowded and, because the sun was blasting in through the enormous picture windows, extremely hot. I wandered around looking at everything. My favorite works were "All Bagged Up", a 3d wall piece of pink expanding foam with bags of candy and toys tacked to it, "Self-Discipline #23", a pair of charcoal self-portraits of the artist wearing a bondage mask, and "Resilience", an mixed media painting with mesmerizing swirls of green and blue iridescent paint.

I had to take some daily meds at 6 and -- I swear this was not on purpose -- spilled all the fucking pills from my pill-shaped pill case onto the floor. On brand, I guess?

KC came partway through and brought me a big bundle of sweet-smelling lilacs from his workplace's backyard. <3

I met someone who recognized me from a FB group I'm in for fat people in the Boston area. She'd painted a self-portrait of her squeezing her waist extremely tightly with a leather belt. She asked to hang out (!) and followed me on Instagram. I followed her back. She has 25k followers and I'm a little intimidated.

Several people found me to say they found my painting relatable, which was nice. One woman told me about her chronic pain and told me, sounding a bit constricted in her throat, that she wished more people would talk about and make art about this stuff. I am really used to people oversharing about very personal topics in the tags on my posts, but it's another thing entirely to experience someone's response to your thoughts or art IRL. Unlike Tumblr, though, nobody said anything unkind to my face!

My feet got so sore. I was so sweaty. I got an honorable mention from the Youth Committee of tweens and teens. Fat positive belt lady got the Youth Committee prize. We...hugged about it?

I felt somewhat out of my depth -- some of the artists priced a lot higher than I would be comfortable charging, some of the art was much more technically advanced than mine, and some of the artists' statements were much more, uh, Art School. I feel I did not schmooze very effectively. But I would try doing this again!

While Taylor and Harry would argue that their love story began in 1997 during their Sixth year at Hogwarts, their friends and loved ones would instead say it began the day they met in 1992, when the Chamber of Secrets had opened, and it was revealed that Harry wasn't the only Parselmouth on campus.

Two powerful bloodlines came together -- that of the Potter/Peverell line and that of the Khalil/Sayre line -- when Taylor and Harry fell in love. The world would rue the decision to try and keep them apart during the Wizarding War, while Harry was hunting Horcruxes, and Taylor was hunting the Death Eaters.

Post-War, after rebuilding Hogwarts and laying to rest those who fell to the darkness, the two celebrated their wedding in 2002 at the Burrow during the early spring when the flowers were in bloom and the weather was more mild. Shortly after, they fell pregnant with their first children, James Sirius and Rubeus Arthur, both born in early 2003.

As their family grew, Harry joined the pro-Quidditch league after trying -- and quitting -- the Auror training. Playing for the Falmouth Falcons, he brought them to the World Cup three times, and he brought home the Cup twice. After seven wonderful years, he retired from pro-Quidditch to accept Headmistress McGonagall's offer of becoming the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, now that the job is no longer jinxed.

In the meantime, Taylor joined forces with Hermione Granger ( @bccksmarts ) to create the Wiltshire Primary Academy, a school for underaged magical children from all walks of life, in order to educate them in a setting that makes it harder for the pureblood supremacy to fester. They teach a few core classes from Hogwarts, as well as mathematics, language arts, world history, science, chemistry, and music. There are also a few extracurriculars, such as gym and art classes. The Academy is open all year 'round, in order to give some of the children a safe haven from abusive homes/environments, and thus Muggleborn children are better prepared to enter the magical community.

After the twins were born, Taylor gave birth to two more children, Lily Luna (2005) and Jonas Alessio (2006). Due to these back to back pregnancies, when she fell pregnant again, she suffered a miscarriage by 15 weeks, and fell into a deep depression. It took months to claw herself back out of the hole of darkness, thanks to her support system, and she refocused her efforts back into her children, in order to give them a good life. However, after nearly seven years, Taylor does get pregnant -- by accident -- with their final rainbow baby, a little girl (Laura Minerva, 2013), who is absolutely spoiled to near death.

PORTRAITS: art school...

My brother and I at Falmouth Art School in the early 1990s. Mark has the halo, I have my trusty Chairman Mao cap. Did I enjoy art school? I enjoyed the idea of being at art school, I enjoyed the self expression, the casual unconventionality of creative people, but I have always loathed structured education - I'm definitely not a good fit for that.

Who I am . . . my qualifications for MLP

I grew up in Falmouth. My family came in 1954, when I was 5, and became year-round in 1956. My dad was an MBL scientist. My mom taught in Falmouth Public Schools. I attended Falmouth Public School, Deerfield Academy, Corvallis (OR) High School, University of Oregon, Johns Hopkins, and Cal Tech (Ph.D. 1977). I did post-doc work at Haskins Labs and MIT. My career included twelve years at Bell Labs, where I was awarded the title, "Distinguished Member of Technical Staff."

In all this time, Falmouth was home. No year passed when I didn't set foot in Falmouth. Bought land here, 1985. Built house, 2006. Became year-round again, 2014.

At Bell Labs, my work followed the emerging Internet. After Bell Labs, I focused on broadband Internet technology and policy, especially municipal networks. I helped write the first National Broadband Plan as Senior Advisor to the FCC. I was invited to organize an international symposium to celebrate the completion of Lafayette, Louisiana's fiber optic network, the first city-wide fiber-to-the-home network in the USA. I ran a series of conferences in Washington DC and NYC called "Freedom to Connect," that featured my heroes of the Internet.

In 2019, I teamed up with Courtney Bird and Art Gaylord to bring a town-wide network to Falmouth. We organized as FalmouthNet, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit. We help EDIC do a great feasibility study, we created a high-level design that's a blueprint for our network, and we got Town Meeting to establish our Falmouth Broadband MLP.

Now I'm running for MLP to bring a world-class fiber optic Internet access network to Falmouth, and competition to Comcast.

IMPENDING DOOM

Tea or perhaps go buy a kite and stand for weeks until my body eats itself so that I am light enough to be. Need fizz and sugar, alcohol, to supplement my learning, instead eat brown banana, draw anatomical pictures, pretend that I don't wish to be elsewhere. Maybe I will go someplace and start a murderous cult. Is your day sunny and running away from you? My world is ending but I am not surrendering to anyone, just holding the handle of self-control, reading a poem about me I did not know you wrote.

FOUND AND ENABLED

She likes the fact her emails end up in my poems, sense disrupted, words disordered, taken out of context; likes that all the poets she knows take their coffee black, aren't intellectual, but happy to help dissect reality and pay the bill. It's easy to underestimate how comedy and satire remain enmeshed in the controversy of our endlessly awkward lives. Irony was hardly an invention of the postmodern though; most informal investigations are consummately poetical. Because of patient dissection we now know it is as likely that our work will be met with boos as with cheers and wild applause

and that duration alone produces a distinctly physical experience. Even in a clean room full of quiet you cannot escape from yourself.

BLOSSOM HIBBERT IS NOT YOUR FRIEND

Could she be a 21st century Selima Hill? I certainly hope not, one is enough. As invasive as Japanese knotweed, as knotty as a peacekeeping mission she is a bright sounding sustained note. Blossom Hibbert is not your friend but she might be Charlie Baylis, Martin Stannard or Alan at Leafe Press; a fig marmalade of their imagination, each busy in multiple dimensions.

If you swap O’Hara’s coke for a bathtub you end up with a clean stomach. If you seek a puerile thrill in silliness, strange pictures of seagulls, toilets and washing machines, she's your girl. Blossom Hibbert is not your friend. Her profound sense of tenderness, jumbled together with the excitement of being in in the modern world comes with accompanying scribbles. "It is too late for yesterday to begin."

Rupert Loydell is Senior Lecturer in the School of Writing and Journalism at Falmouth University, the editor of Stride magazine, and contributing editor to International Times. He is a widely published poet, and has written for academic journals such as Punk & Post-Punk (which he is on the editorial board of), New Writing, Revenant, The Journal of Visual Art Practice, Text, Axon, Musicology Research, Short Fiction in Theory and Practice, and contributed chapters to Brian Eno. Oblique Music (Bloomsbury, 2016), Critical Essays on Twin Peaks: The Return (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019), Listen to the Sounds! (Routledge, 2021) and Bodies, Noise and Power in Industrial Music (Palgrave Macmillan 2022).

A guest blog post from Sydenham High School

From Cambridge to a degree apprenticeship, Sydenham High School students celebrate overwhelming success on A Level Results Day as almost the entire cohort got on to the courses of their choice.

Students, staff and parents of Sixth Form students at Sydenham High School celebrated their success over breakfast on A Level Results Day last week.

Despite the repeated disruption to their education through Covid, almost the entire cohort got accepted at their first or second choice university. Two students will be heading off to Cambridge to study History of Art; Former Head of School, Liza, is going to the Royal Veterinary College to study Veterinary Medicine; her fellow Head of School, Kyah, is going to study Medicine at Brighton and Sussex Medical School. Other destinations of choice include UCL, Birmingham, Leeds, Loughborough, Edinburgh, and the Royal Welsh Conservatoire. Having realised that she prefers learning on the job, Jerusha will be starting a degree apprenticeship on Monday morning with Jacobs Engineering Solutions.

“It has been a privilege to celebrate A Level results with our wonderful students today. I’m incredibly proud of all that they have achieved, their ambition, curiosity and hard work. Our school ethos focusses on harnessing the individual strengths of our girls, empowering them to forge their own path in life. This is illustrated by the fantastic range of university courses, art colleges, conservatoires and apprenticeships chosen by our students.”

Antonia Geldeard, Head

“I was crying this morning as I was so happy” said Ruby, who looks forward to her first choice place at Manchester to study History alongside her fellow students celebrating two places at Cambridge University to study History of Art; Edinburgh for Philosophy & Theology; two at Leeds for Philosophy History of Art; Criminology at Durham; Sociology at Manchester as well as History & Politics overseas in the Netherlands.

Creative Arts are equally as strong with 3 students off to Art Foundation courses at Central St Martins, Kingston and Loughborough and 5 achieving places to study Art and Design at University of Arts London, Animation Production and Model Making at Bournemouth University and Photography at Falmouth and Music at the Royal Welsh Conservatoire.

After months of applications and seeing off some tough competition, Jerusha begins her degree apprenticeship as soon as Monday at the engineering firm, Jacobs. She is really looking forward to the challenge; “I realised that I really enjoy learning on the job so this is exactly what I wanted to do. They wanted me to get started straight away so that I can settle into the company before the degree course starts in September.”

Former Heads of School spoke of their delight at achieving their dream destinations.

“At first my reaction was stunned as I realised that I’d actually done it, and it’s really happening. I’m just so excited and happy, but also slightly sad at leaving Sydenham High and all my friends here.”

Kyah-Sarisse [Medicine]

“It feels surreal that I'm actually leaving school and going off to university and adult life, but it’s an amazing feeling knowing that I’ve actually got to where I wanted to go to.”

Liza [Veterinary Medicine]

“The dedication that the students have shown over the past two years has been unwavering, and this has paid off with excellent results. They have risen to the demands of A Level, overcome challenges and have shown a level of determination and resilience that will serve them well for the future. We are so proud of them and I wish them the best of luck for the future.”

Rebecca Parrish, Head of Sixth Form

The Post WWII War Business Boom in North America 

  Following the conclusion of World War II, the United States was faced with a unique opportunity for economic growth. After decades of economic malaise and wartime losses, Americans were eager to get back to work and make their businesses successful once again. In this blog post, we will discuss how American businesses succeeded after World War II and how these successes can be replicated in today’s business world.  

Art and the Industrial Revolution. Photo by rauter25. Flickr.  

The Rise of Consumerism

The seeds of modern American consumerism were planted during the Industrial Revolution, which began in the mid-1700s. The industrial revolution saw a shift away from manual labor and towards mass production, as machines began to do most of the work that had once been done by hand. This led to an increase in goods being made available for consumers, which sparked a movement known as "consumer capitalism." Consumer capitalism was based on the idea that if people had more money, they would spend it on goods and services—which would drive economic growth. This was especially true for factory workers who received higher wages than ever before; with more money came more opportunities to purchase things they wanted but didn't necessarily need. As a result, companies began producing more goods and advertising them heavily to entice consumers into buying them.

Flickr.   The Rise of Advertising Advertising played a major role in creating and sustaining consumer demand during this period. Advertisements were used to create an emotional connection between products and potential customers; companies used clever slogans and catchy jingles to lure customers into buying their products. This trend continued throughout the 20th century as advertising became even more ubiquitous; television commercials, billboards, print ads, radio spots—all of these forms of advertising were used to convince people that they needed certain products or services.

Flickr.   The Impact Today Consumerism is still alive today; although technology may have changed some aspects of it (for example, digital marketing), the underlying principles are still largely the same—namely, that people will buy things if advertisers convince them that those things will improve their lives in some way. Businesses continue to rely on advertising strategies like targeted marketing campaigns, social media influencers, and promotional giveaways to reach potential customers and encourage them to purchase their products or services.

The Birth of Suburbanization

Suburbanization had its roots in industrialism and was largely a result of an increase in automobile production and ownership. The rise of the automobile industry allowed citizens more freedom to move around, which in turn spawned an increased demand for housing outside metropolitan areas. This led to developers creating planned communities made up of single-family homes with access to schools, parks, stores, and other amenities specifically designed for families who wanted to live outside bustling city centers. As a result, many Americans left their city dwellings for these new neighborhoods due to their offer of more living space as well as better opportunities for education and employment. Suburban living soon became the preferred lifestyle choice among Americans; by 1970, almost half of all Americans lived outside urban areas. In addition, businesses began moving their operations out of city centers into these burgeoning suburbs to capitalize on consumer demand. This meant that people no longer had to commute into cities during the day—they could now find jobs closer to home in the suburbs they lived in or nearby townships.

Flickr.   The Impact on Businesses Suburbanization has had a profound impact on American businesses since its inception during the Industrial Revolution. Since then, countless companies have moved their operations out of cities into suburban areas in hopes of attracting customers who are looking for products and services close to home. Furthermore, businesses have also been able to capitalize on increased spending power thanks to more spacious living arrangements that allow them (and their employees) more disposable income than if they were living downtown. Businesses have also been able to benefit from greater diversity among employees by tapping into nearby talent pools from various backgrounds who are looking for career opportunities outside city limits.

New Technologies

Technological advances during this period also helped give American businesses a much-needed boost following the war. With new technologies such as computers becoming widely available, companies were able to increase their efficiency and productivity in ways that had never been seen before. This gave them an edge over their competitors who did not yet have access to such technologies, allowing them to stay ahead of the curve when it came to producing quality products or services at competitive prices.  

Conclusion

As we can see from this brief overview, there were several factors at play during the post-war period which allowed American businesses to prosper and grow exponentially during this period. Examining these factors and understanding how they contributed to business success then, we can use this knowledge today to help our businesses succeed in our ever-changing economy here in the 21st century. By taking advantage of today’s technology while focusing on customer demands and trends such as suburbanization, modern businessmen can replicate the success seen by their counterparts during post-war America with remarkable results!   Sources: THX News, Wikipedia & History.com.
