Event Name: Artist talk by Amelia Crouch

Date: 2010-06-20

Venue: Artlink, 87 Princes Avenue, Hull

Start Time: 11.30am

Finish Time: 12.30pm

Details: Leeds based artist Amelia Crouch will be giving a presentation about her work, during which there will be the opportunity for questions and discussion. Amelia works variously in video, audio, photographic imagery and painting. Across these media a frequent characteristic of her work is the use of words, either using juxtaposition of images and language, or using words to evoke images. Amelia is interested in differences in how visual and verbal media address a viewer and in the importance played by representational structures in the creation of self and social identity. Her work attempts to tap into what might be called a ‘collective cultural imagery’ – the associations and mental images that people carry with them already, that they have absorbed from the world around them sometimes unconsciously.

Event Name: Ted Lewis

Date: 2010-06-23

Venue: Vue Cinema, Hull

Start Time: 7.30pm

Finish Time: -

Details: A unique opportunity to discover more about British noir author Ted Lewis and see the world premiere of a new short film. Ted Lewis lived on the south bank of the Humber for much of his life and was the writer of Jack's Return Home, the book that became the film Get Carter. This event will include the world premiere of the short film Ted's Return Home (a fictionalised account of Lewis's life post-Get Carter) and an in-depth discussion about Lewis by the short film's screenwriters, Nick Triplow and Laurie Harvey, who are also currently writing the Ted Lewis biography. Lewis, an only child, spent his formative years in Barton-on-Humber and studied at the Hull School of Art & Design before working as an animator on the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine. He wrote nine novels - All the Way Home and All the Night Through, Jack's Return Home, The Rabbit, Jack Carter's Law, Plender, Jack Carter and the Mafia Pigeon, Billy Rags, Boldt and GBH. His writing also included several episodes of the long-running drama Z Cars. The 20 minute short Ted’s Return Home sees Lewis come face to face with one of his own characters - not in Newcastle but amid the southbank locations of the book. This informative and entertaining event will provide a perspective on the ongoing influence that Ted Lewis still holds over a host of contemporary crime writers and filmmakers.
