After graduating from Coventry Polytechnic with BA(Hons) in Fine Art in 1991, Amanda Ralph was an active member of the Arena Studios, and exhibited widely across UK and internationally including The Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art, where she exhibited alongside Doris Salcedo – one of her inspirations. 20 years later, after taking a career break to raise her family, and diversifying her skills as a stylist and interior designer, Ralph has returned to art and is currently studying her final year of MA Fine Art at the University of Hertfordshire.

Taking this family tradition of 'adding to' as a visual starting point, Raava began to experiment with objects connected to her family’s past. The subtle subtraction or alteration of the recognisable elements of the original objects – a fork handle or the clasp of a purse – invites an unexpected dialogue to develop between the artist and the audience.

Valentin Gerlier (University of Chester): ' The Guesthouse' - For a Religious Ecology of HospitalityAdam Young: From Bloomsbury to Toledo: Tracing The Evolution of Roy Campbell's Thought and Experiences to Catholicism Let it Simmer Over Summer’ examines the notions of journey, pause and composition. Often the slightly skewed observations of everyday situations are based upon placing herself in an unfamiliar environment or a particular place. Then, with drawings, sculptures and videos, Jung creates a composition that interconnects encounters, stories and places. This process is an ongoing, reflective dialogue with daily experiences and everyday objects that Jung subverts to add stories to. Jeremy Richards describes this sort of sensibility as a “shifting sense of place.” He suggests that a classic poet could stroll through a garden, stumble past a church, or kneel in the grass and feel sated and grounded. But today, he asks, “where is the poet’s sense of place? Itinerant, polluted, untethered? Tweeted?” Good questions when so much seems to changing and on the move. Here is Shelley Kirk-Rudeen writing about changes in Zumwalt Prairie in eastern Oregon: Gilson, Étienne (1994). "Foreword to the 1964 edition". The Poetics of Space. Boston: Beacon Press. ISBN 978-0-8070-6473-3. It follows, I think, that good poetry of place sees significance in things and landscapes to which most of us would pay scant attention, and embodies the imagination needed to draw unexpected associations that amplify this significance. Here’s a brief example from Wallace Stevens’ “Anecdote of the Jar” (quoted by Tim Cresswell in his thesis on topo-poetics):

Nora Kirkham: "Witnessing Presence: Pilgrimage and Ecstatic Dwelling in Denise Levertov's Mountain Poetry" genres; thus, Aristotle (in the Poetics) noted, “Nature herself, as we have said, teaches the choice of the proper measure.” In epic verse the poet should use the heroic measure (dactylic hexameter) because this metre most effectively represents or imitates such qualities as grandeur, dignity, and high passion. Horace narrowed… Read More Rhetoric, and above all, the Poetics, had an immense effect on literary theory after the Renaissance. In the ancient world, Aristotelian doctrine was known mainly through the works of his successor Theophrastus ( c. 372–288/287), now lost except for two books on plants and a famous collection of 30 Characters, sketches… Read MoreBachelard applies the method of phenomenology to architecture, basing his analysis not on purported origins (as was the trend in Enlightenment thinking about architecture) but on lived experience in architectural places and their contexts in nature. He focuses especially on the personal, emotional response to buildings both in life and in literary works, both in prose and in poetry. He is thus led to consider spatial types such as the attic, the cellar, drawers and the like. Bachelard implicitly urges architects to base their work on the experiences it will engender rather than on abstract rationales that may or may not affect viewers and users of architecture. Charles Howell: Spatial Absence in Gordon Matta-Clark: The Dialectic of Presence and Absence and the Aesthetics of Revelation a literal interpretation of Aristotle’s Poetics, he argued that Nature was governed by reason and that it was the task of poets to imitate reason as it manifested itself in Nature. He also initiated a reform of the German theatre aimed on the one hand against the Baroque extravagance of… Read More Quirkiest building in Tehran. بانمک ترین ساختمان اجق‌ وجقی تهران. 📸: @bbiibbzz www.THETEHRANTIMES.com Stay at home. It is the message we have heard countless times during this unprecedented period. Home has always been the foundation to our daily lives but suddenly its importance has amplified. We have perhaps never been more in tune with our senses of place than now, in this current environment.

This interdisciplinary conference will explore the Catholic tradition’s contribution to ‘place-making’ through the arts, including architecture, graphic arts, sculpture, drama, literature, and music. How do the arts create, shape, or contest Catholic global, regional, and local identities? How might the liturgy shape our understanding of ‘place’ and, in turn, how might our perception and creation of ‘place’ inform or reform the liturgy? What difference do the material surroundings in which we encounter religious artworks make to our reception of them? And how has art in the Catholic tradition attended to the ‘displaced’, the homeless, refugees, and to the ‘more-than-human’ world?

Amanda Ralph was described by the late poet and artist Adrian Henri as ‘The Poet of the Discarded’– a phrase which has been used extensively to describe her work in newspaper articles and magazines, including Art Review. She is an installation artist whose practice is concerned with finding ‘ready-made art’ within the everyday landscape. Her meticulously arranged assemblages suggest new readings of familiar objects, offering a respectful nod to the past, yet grounding the viewer in the present moment. The Poetics of Space ( French: La Poétique de l'Espace) is a 1958 book about architecture by the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard. The book is considered an important work about art. Commentators have compared Bachelard's views to those of the philosopher Martin Heidegger.

Two place poems by 11 year olds in place in Island Park in Fargo, North Dakota. There is a National Writing Project in the United States that provides a template for school students to write place based poetry. I don’t know whether these poems are a product of this but they certainly illustrate the broad appeal of the poetry of place. of dramatic theory, the fragmentary Poetics of Aristotle (384–322 bce), chiefly reflecting his views on Greek tragedy and his favourite dramatist, Sophocles, is still relevant to an understanding of the elements of drama.
