LOOKING FOR A HASSLE-FREE Citroen REPAIR?
Service4Service offers a variety of Citroen repairs and car bodywork repair from each of our 700+ qualified and approved repair centres located across the UK - each fully equipped to fix any damage that your vehicle may have incurred.
Citroen Brake Repairs
All Citroen vehicles should have their brakes inspected regularly. If your Citroen brakes become faulty, you may notice a 'spongy' feel when depressing the pedal. If your Citroen pulls to the left or right when braking, or there is a grinding noise coming from your Citroen brakes, then you could well be looking at Citroen brake replacement.
Citroen brake repairs are a job for an experienced mechanic. At Service4Service we can confidently diagnose any issues with your Citroen brakes and handbrake.
Citroen Clutch Repairs
Clutch failure will result in your Citroen failing to drive properly. Common indicators that you may need a Citroen clutch repair include a rattling or grinding noise when changing gears, engine revs increasing and decreasing randomly, a loss of acceleration or even a complete loss of driving power.
Clutches do not have a recommended replacement mileage, so should be inspected regularly. Our qualified mechanics will get to the root of the problem with your Citroen clutch, using their excellent technical knowledge.
Citroen Cambelt Repairs
The timing belt controls the engine and also drives other mechanical components of your Citroen such as the water pump. Failure of other components, such as the water pump or the tensioners can cause the timing belt to fail prematurely.
Typical causes of Citroen timing belt failure vary. Worn timing belts can sometimes fail at a sudden engine speed change, for instance when moving off, changing gear, or revving the engine in neutral.
Citroen Exhaust Repairs
Exhausts are a major part that controls the level of emissions that come from your Citroen. For the engine to run smoothly and producing the correct levels of emissions, keeping your exhaust in good working order is so important and we are able to help you with this.
It's key to use only OEM or genuine Citroen parts and we will always provide the quality service you should expect when looking after your car.
Citroen Gearbox Repairs
Citroen gearboxes are complex mechanical systems so the range of gearbox faults can be large and varied. Symptoms that a Citroen gearbox may require attention include the vehicle dropping out of gear, odd sounds when the car is in neutral and even the engine management light illuminating on the dashboard.
At Service4Service our technical expertise means that we can provide fast and inexpensive Citroen gearbox repairs for all models of Citroen.
Citroen Turbo Repairs
There are many reasons for Citroen turbocharger failure, with the main reason being a build-up of carbon in the engine. Other reasons for Citroen turbo faults include worn seals and using the wrong engine oil.
We're here to ensure your repair experience is as positive as possible. Our network of local garages now offer a dedicated Citroen turbocharger repair service and Citroen turbocharger reconditioning service, at competitive prices.

Heroin abuse tough to address
Forum addresses reality that adequate treatment is lacking
While heroin use is on the rise, destroying the lives of young people and their families, treatment is inconsistent and difficult to access — and there's neither a strategy nor adequate funding to address the burgeoning problem.
Those were among realities to emerge from a forum on heroin use Wednesday at Hudson Valley Community College. State Sen. Kathy Marchione, R-Halfmoon, facilitated the discussion among state lawmakers, local treatment providers, educators and law enforcement officials.
"If any other illness or issue was making this impact on our communities and families ... people would be screaming from the rooftops to make this stop," said Beth Schuster, executive director of Twin County Recovery Services in Hudson.
About 250 people attended the New York State Senate Task Force on Heroin and Opioid Addiction's forum, the fourth of 14 public hearings planned statewide to solicit ideas for ways to address rampant use of heroin, a highly addictive, cheap and deadly drug that treatment providers and law enforcement officials said is more difficult to squelch than other abused substances. The task force is charged with reporting to the Senate by June 1 with proposed bills that could pass this legislative session, said state Sen. Phil Boyle, R-Long Island.
Panelists stressed the need to recognize addiction as a chronic disease that needs ongoing treatment, and for more treatment options as alternatives to incarceration. The heads of organizations that offer prevention and treatment programs said they are suffering from state funding cuts as well as reduced payments from insurance companies.
Several speakers talked about problems getting insurance companies to cover treatment services. Boyle drew some applause when he said he supports the idea of a bill that would require all insurance companies to use the same definition of "medical necessity," a term that coverage denials are often based on.
Law enforcement officials stressed the need for new sentencing guidelines that distinguish between a user who is possessing heroin, and a dealer who profits from addictions.
Those who attended the forum seemed well aware of the issues. As Dan Almasi of the Columbia County Department of Human Services said, panelists were preaching to the choir. Awareness of heroin's effects is not as great among communities that haven't experienced its impacts, however, he said.
"I hope this isn't one of those meetings and gatherings where nothing gets done," Almasi said. "I really hope some change comes out of this."

ROLLINSFORD — The rockin' a cappella of Tuckermans at 9 returns to the Garrison Players Arts Center on May 4 at 8 p.m. The quartet On Air opens the show.
"There is so much a cappella talent out there!" says Tuckermans at 9 baritone, founder, and Dover, New Hampshire, resident Mark Miller. "We perform year-round in New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts, and we love to share the stage. We're very excited to have On Air join us!"
Like Tuckermans at 9, On Air, formed in 2008, is made up of friends who enjoy singing together and bringing high quality entertainment to audiences of all types and sizes. The members of the group are longtime members of the Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS). The group has performed at BHS events and competitions, for birthday parties and at ballgames, in the United States and Canada, and has even entertained a former United States President. Since its inception, On Air has been an audience favorite at the BHS' Northeastern District quartet competitions. In 2012 they took home the gold, winning the contest with their signature rich sound and heartfelt performance.
Based in the New Hampshire Seacoast, Tuckermans at 9, dubbed "T9" by fans, is currently a sextet, as auditions for a new first tenor are ongoing. (Interested applicants are encouraged to email Miller at email@example.com.) T9 has entertained audiences from Boston and Massachusetts' north and south shores to Lewiston, Maine, and in New Hampshire from Portsmouth to Nashua and into the Lakes Region. "Since our start in 2004," adds Miller, "the T9 sound has evolved into a huge variety of material from pop to rock to blues to light jazz, including our own customized versions of songs people know and love. But we do it a cappella, so our voices make all the music. Everything you hear, including what sounds like brass, electric guitars, or drums, is just us. It's a fun, entertaining show with something for every age and taste."
Rounding out the group's roster are soprano Ashley Gove (Nashua), altos Kam Damtoft (Exeter) and Fran Lipe (New Durham), tenor Walt Porter (Brentwood), and bass Bill Hersman (Durham). Sound technician Tony Berke hails from Exeter and assistant sound technician Kevin Consaul from Nashua. Along with many longtime T9 favorites, the group's set includes Bruno Mars' "Grenade", Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'", and the Jefferson Airplane's 60s rock anthem, "Somebody to Love".
"Two great groups for one price," says Miller. "There really is something for everyone."
Tuckermans at 9 with opening act On Air, May 4, 8 p.m.; Garrison Players Arts Center, 650 Portland Ave./Route 4. Access to free parking off Roberts Road. Tickets $18 adults 18 or over, $15 under 18, at garrisonplayers.org, 603-750-4ART, or at the door. Directions and additional info at tuckermansat9.com, onairquartet.com, and garrisonplayers.org.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lipscomb University's Heather Parker was named Tennessee Sports Writers Association Pitcher of the Week for her performances in contests from April 1-7.
It is the second week in a row that Parker has won the honor. She has also been Atlantic Sun Pitcher of the Week for the past two weeks.
Parker allowed just one run in 18.1 innings over three appearances for the Bisons, posting a pair of one-hit shutouts at East Tennessee State over the weekend. The righthander took a no-hitter into the seventh inning in the final game of the series at ETSU before giving up a leadoff single in the seventh. She walked one and struck out eight in the victory.
The previous day the Pleasant Grove, Ala., native gave up just one hit with one walk and three strikeouts in five innings versus the Bucs. Parker also tossed 6.1 innings in the mid-week at UAB, dropping a 1-0 decision despite allowing only six hits with five strikeouts.
She is now 8-9 on the season with a 2.31 ERA in 24 appearances, striking out 96 in 115.1 innings of work. Lipscomb hosts Belmont in a doubleheader on Wednesday and takes on USC-Upstate this weekend in a three-game series at home.

ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer Thursday attributed Ed Reed's negative comments earlier in the week about Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco to "insecurity" on the part of Reed and the Ravens defense.
"I took that comment as a little insecurity by Ed and the defense," Dilfer said in answer to a Sun question during a conference call. "[I see it as Reed saying] 'Hey, we know we're going up against Tom Brady. Maybe, we can't hold him like we did the Houston Texans. And we need a little bit more from the offense.'"
Dilfer, who quarterbacked the Baltimore Ravens to a Super Bowl championship, said, "That's how I kind of read it between the lines. We didn't have that issue [when Dilfer's Ravens team played in the AFC championship game.] We're going to play the Oakland Raiders with Rich Gannon, and they were one of the league leaders in offense. And Rod Woodson and I were in a helicopter going over from the hotel to the AFC championship press conference, and he looks at me and says, 'All we need is a touchdown.'
Speaking of that Ravens defensive crew, Dilfer said, "And that's how they felt. They didn't feel insecure with their ability to be able to stop that team. And I think this Ravens team is looking at this Patriots offense and saying, 'Wait a second, we need our offense to play better, and maybe this is the way to call him out and get more out them. Whether it's right or wrong, that's how I took the comment."
As reported by the Sun's Matt Vensel, the comments to which Dilfer referred were made by Reed in a Monday interview with SiriusXM satellite radio. They included Reed saying Flacco "was kind of rattled a little bit" Sunday.
"They had a lot of guys in the box on him and they were giving it to him. I think a couple of times he needed to get rid of the ball. It just didn't look like he had a hold on the offense," Reed said. "I don't know how much of [that was] the play calling … but it just didn't look like he had a hold on the offense, you know, of times past."
When asked Thursday if any defensive members of the Ravens team of which he played ever called him out that way, Dilfer said no.
"It did not happen to me privately or publicly," Dilfer said. "I think the reason is that we were very secure in who we were as a team. Others wanted us to maybe win a different way or do something else. But we spoke very openly within our locker room about our profile for success and kind of roles each player had. And we were very secure about what the offense had to do to complement the defense and special teams and vice versa."
Dilfer did the teleconference Thursday with ESPN analyst and former New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi, and the takeaway quote from the session might this one from Bruschi on Flacco.
I think the quote matters because remarks like the ones Reed made about Flacco contribute to the kind of negative perception of Flacco that Bruschi gave voice to in comparing Baltimore's quarterback to Fredo in the 1972 feature film "The Godfather."
Here's the quote from Brushi. Please let me know what you think.
Joe Flacco, he wants his respect, he hasn't gotten it, and he's going to get his opportunity against New England, because there's going to be multiple lead changes. He may have to bring his team back in the fourth quarter. You want it, you've got it, Joe Flacco. Here's opportunity right now, because right now Tom Brady is Michael Corleone and Joe Flacco is Fredo. That's who he is. He's Fredo. He wants his respect. Well, if you want your respect, you're going to have to be that quarterback that plays -- well, not better than Brady, but leads your team to victory. So you want it, you've got it.

Outfielder pitches for win at Winter Invitational
Four-day event features seven NCAA Division II teams at Minute Maid Park
HOUSTON -- Joseph Kubera started his game Saturday as a center fielder, but he ended it as the winning pitcher. The right-hander threw two scoreless innings for Winona State, getting critical outs in the eighth inning of the Warriors' 3-2 win over Henderson State in Game 2 of the 2014 Houston Winter Invitational at Minute Maid Park.
Winona State, which trailed by 2-0 after three innings, scored the go-ahead run with two outs in the seventh inning. Travis Evanson doubled down the third-base line off Steven Brooks (0-1), scoring Ryan Nyhagen, who had entered the game at center field when Kubera came in to pitch the seventh.
Kubera (1-0) came up big for the Warriors, who like the Reddies ended the game with eight hits. None of those came on Kubera's watch.
Kubera retired the side in the top of the seventh, but it was in the eighth that he displayed his mettle. Kubera got out of a one-out, bases-loaded jam by striking out Matt Evans swinging and getting Conner Brackhahn to pop up to second base, preserving the one-run lead.
Despite picking up the loss, Brooks pitched well. The left-hander inherited runners at first and second with no outs in the sixth and promptly retired the next three batters.
Jonathan Nelson had two hits for Winona State (1-0), while Tyler Nehring and Brett Young tallied RBIs. Joseph Gary and Lance Fields drove in runs for Henderson State (0-1), which also got two hits from Tadarius Hawkins.
Arkansas-Monticello 7, Arkansas Tech 2
HOUSTON -- The 2014 Houston Winter Invitational began Saturday with Arkansas-Monticello cruising past Arkansas Tech, 7-2, in the opener of the four-day event featuring seven NCAA Division II teams at Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros.
Corey Wood, Austin Braddock and Bronson Gillam provided the power for the Boll Weevils, who opened their season with a 10-hit, seven-walk attack. Wood homered and Braddock had three hits and two RBIs. Adding two RBIs on two hits was Gillam, who went deep twice in a game last year at this event.
Wood's homer off Wonder Boys reliever Trent Armstrong came on the first pitch of the fifth inning, giving the Boll Weevils a 4-1 lead. Wood's blast landed in the home team's bullpen in right-center, carrying past the 373-foot sign.
Arkansas-Monticello put the game away with a three-run eighth inning that included doubles from Evan Comeau, who had two hits, Ben Agredano, who scored twice, and Braddock.
Boll Weevils starter Josh Mingura (1-0) earned the win. The right-hander allowed two runs (one earned) and six hits in five innings with no walks and two strikeouts. Gavin Johnston relieved Mingura with three shutout innings, and Jeff Harvill pitched a scoreless ninth.
Arkansas Tech starter Ryan Taylor (0-1) took the loss in a 3 2/3-inning stint, allowing three runs on four hits and five walks with four strikeouts.
Sage Boehner and Mike Kattula had two hits apiece among the Wonder Boys' seven knocks. Kattula and Zac Johnson had an RBI each, with Jay Johnson and James Sharp scoring.
St. Mary's 5, Central Missouri 4
HOUSTON -- Mario Maldonado homered to open the scoring in the second inning, and he closed out the game to get the win on the mound as St. Mary's (Texas) edged Central Missouri, 5-4.
The game was the last of three played on Saturday at Minute Maid Park in the 2014 Houston Winter Invitational. It was both teams' season opener.
The right-handed-throwing Maldonado (1-0), who started the game at second base and scored the go-ahead run, got Trevor Jones to fly out to center field for the game's final out. Pinch-runner Victor Brancato was stranded at second base as the potential tying run.
St. Mary's, which blew a four-run lead after 3 1/2 innings and stranded 13, scored the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth inning. No. 9 hitter Keith Funk singled off Kyle Gehrs, scoring Maldonado from second base with one out. Gehrs (0-1) was the last of six pitchers for the Mules.
St. Mary's starter Rene Solis threw 131 pitches in his six innings. The left-hander allowed two runs on three hits with four strikeouts and one walks. Mules starter Andres Gimeno allowed four runs (three earned) in three-plus innings. Zak Anstine, who relieved Gimeno, pitched three innings of hitless ball.
Maldonado went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI. Miles Orscheln had two of Central Missouri's six hits, scoring once. Brad Wilson and Kevin Gratza scored a run and had an RBI each for the Mules, who scored twice in the bottom of the eighth inning to tie the game at 4.

A variety of procedures used to bring about conception without sexual intercourse, including in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other techniques.
basal body temperature (BBT) test
The temperature of a woman taken every morning during a cycle before any activity is done that may raise her temperature. It is done to help determine if ovulation has taken place.
baseline ultrasound
An examination conducted before starting therapy to determine the general position and condition of the ovaries.

chemical pregnancy
The false appearance of pregnancy due to changes in hormonal levels.
Fertilization; when the sperm meets and penetrates the egg.
controlled ovarian hyperstimulation
Stimulation of the ovaries with various hormonal medications in order to develop as many follicles as possible, as well as to control the timing of ovulation.
corpus luteum
A structure that forms at the site of an ovarian follicle after it releases an egg. The corpus luteum releases estrogen and progesterone, two hormones necessary for maintaining a pregnancy. If pregnancy occurs, the corpus luteum functions for five or six months. If pregnancy does not occur, it stops functioning.
Storage of organs or tissues at very low temperatures. Embryos that are not used in an assisted reproductive technologies (ART) cycle can be cryopreserved for future use.
("dis-men-o-ree-a") Cramping and pain around the time of menstruation.

One of the relatively weak estrogens, which is produced in large amounts in PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) patients.
fallopian tubes
Ducts through which eggs travel to the uterus once released from the follicle. Sperm normally meet the egg in the fallopian tube, the site at which fertilization usually occurs.
fertility specialist
A physician specializing in the practice of fertility. In Canada, these are doctors who have specialized in obstetrics and gynaecology (OB/GYNs) and have then completed more training in the area of reproductive endocrinology (the study of hormones) and infertility.
fertility treatment
Any method or procedure used to enhance fertility or increase the likelihood of pregnancy, such as ovulation induction (OI) treatment, varicocele repair (repair of varicose veins in the scrotal sac), and microsurgery to repair damaged fallopian tubes.

Inadequate ovarian or testicular function as shown by low sperm production or lack of follicle production, as well as low or absent levels of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone).
hypogonadotropic hypogonadism/hypogonadotropic hypogonadal (HH)
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is a rare condition in which impaired activity of the hypothalamus or pituitary results in below-normal function of the gonads and in abnormally low FSH and LH serum levels and consequential negligible estrogen levels. (The gonads are the ovaries and testes and the hormones they normally produce include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone).
The gland at the base of the brain that controls the release of hormones from the pituitary glands.

The embedding of the embryo into tissue so it can establish contact with the mother's blood supply for nourishment. Implantation usually occurs in the lining of the uterus; however, in an ectopic pregnancy it may occur elsewhere in the body.
in vitro fertilization (IVF)
Eggs produced by administering fertility drugs are retrieved from a woman's body and fertilized by sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryos are transferred by catheter to the uterus.
The inability to conceive after a year of unprotected intercourse (six months if a woman is age 35 or older).
intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
A micromanipulation (occurring under the microscope) procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into the egg to enable fertilization with very low sperm counts or with non-motile sperm (sperm that don't swim effectively toward the egg). The embryo is then transferred to the uterus.

The incidence of caesarean births is on the rise. In the past caesareans were not common, but now in Australia almost 1:3 women will give birth by caesarean. Australia greatly exceeds the World Health Organisations recommendation that the caesarean birth rate should not be greater than 10-15%. If a woman gave birth by caesarean, it used to be thought that she could only give birth by caesarean in the future – hence the saying 'Once a caesarean always a caesarean'. This viewpoint however is not based on research. Given the right support, women who give birth by caesarean have around 70 to 80% chance of giving birth vaginally the next time.
A trial of labour after a previous caesarean has been proven to be the safest choice for mother and baby. A woman who has a repeat caesarean without labour has an increased risk of developing an infection or bleeding compared to a woman who attempts a vaginal birth. The risks to the baby of an elective caesarean include an increased chance of respiratory distress syndrome. The reason for the previous caesarean has to be taken into account, but overall attempting a vaginal birth after a caesarean is usually preferable for health reasons.
The best way to avoid another caesarean birth is by choosing the healthcare practitioner carefully. Some healthcare practitioners automatically offer another caesarean, while others will actively assist women to achieve a normal birth. Detailed information on vaginal birth after caesarean, including supportive healthcare practitioners, is available on Birthrites website www.birthrites.org
Some women choose to be well prepared for a vaginal birth after caesarean. Probably the most common preparation women undertake is reading. Reading anything they can lay their hands on including: VBAC articles in journals and magazines, books and websites. Other strategies women have used with success include enlisting the help of supportive friends and choosing the birth team carefully. Communication is important with those involved with the pregnancy and birth. Women can use a birth plan as a communication tool or may even hold a meeting with their birth team prior to the due date. Physical fitness can potentially improve chances of successful outcome (though it cannot guarantee it). Exploring fears prior to the birth with a friend or health professional can be helpful. Importantly, a woman aiming for a VBAC should have balance in her life and avoid focusing solely on the birth.
The risk of your uterus rupturing during labour when you have had a previous caesarean depends on the type of incision on your uterus. The most common incision is known as a low transverse incision. This type of incision is the safest and research indicates that the risk of rupture is less than 0.5%. Occasionally another incision known as a classical incision is used. Typically this type of incision is only used for specific medical indications. A classical incision is more likely to rupture than a low transverse incision. A labour induced by drugs, such as Syntocinon or Prostaglandins, increases the chance of scar rupture. A recent finding by research indicates that if a woman goes into labour within 18 months of having a caesarean that the risk of the scar rupturing also increases. The term rupture is a little misleading however. Most times when the scar ruptures (or comes apart) – it does so only to a minor degree and causes no obvious problems for mother or baby. It's important to know that a serious rupture of the uterus is a rare complication.
No, two caesareans does not necessarily mean a third. Research has found that women attempting vaginal birth after two caesareans should be treated no differently than a woman who has had one previous caesarean. The key here will be finding a midwife or doctor who will support you in giving birth naturally. Some healthcare practitioners will be supportive while others will not.
Vaginal birth after caesarean has been found by research to be the preferred option in most cases. The reason for your caesarean of course plays a role in the decision on whether or not to try for a vaginal birth. Research your options and become informed. Contact your local VBAC group (visit Birthrites website for your nearest group - www.birthrites.org ). You can present your preferences to the obstetrician and the hospital – and see what their response is. They may continue with their current opinion or support your choices. You may choose to seek a second opinion. You may even need to look for a different caregiver or birthplace – if you do not received the desired support you are after.

Hi Andrea - I don't have a list of obstetricians who will support a vaginal birth after caesarean. It would be fantastic if we did. Can you let me know where you live and I can ask some of my contacts if they can recommend anyone? Also I've started a thread on our forum - so hopefully we'll get a great resource together. To see the forum thread.
Hi Jane, I was wondering if you know of any obs or hospitals in the Brisbane or near areas who supports VBAC after inverted T-incisions? I was told automatically after the unplanned caesarean of my daughter that I must have caesareans from now on. I am currently 17wks pregnant and have just started research into vbacs. I am confident that I am able to birth this baby as natural as possible(might be some gas involved lol). Any information on supporting hospitals or obs would greatly be appreciated. Thanks sara

Nobel-winning economist Robert Fogel, whose work on slavery gained national attention, dies
CHICAGO – A Nobel Prize-winning University of Chicago economist whose work on the economics of slavery triggered a furious national debate has died.
The university says in a statement that Robert Fogel died Tuesday after a brief illness. He was 86.
Fogel wrote 22 books, the last one published in April. He first came to prominence in academic circles in the 1960s when he concluded that railroads weren't as important to the nation's economy as was widely believed.
In the 1970s, he and co-author Stanley Engerman challenged the long-accepted assumption that slavery was inefficient and unprofitable with "Time on the Cross: The Economics of American Negro Slavery."
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences cited both his work on railroads and slavery when it awarded him the 1993 Nobel Prize for Economics.

Dan and Fiona
[Remarking upon Dan in the other thread, reminded me of this article. Although this piece is about his wife [thanked in Chris' liner notes], I've read a lot about Dan's cartoon-like graffiti art and perhaps wouldn't have minded seeing a sample of it in Christine's cd art]
SECTION: Features; Times Magazine 30, March 1, 2003
HEADLINE: The future's bright
BYLINE: Rose Aidin
With painting undergoing an unexpected renaissance in the art world, former YBA Fiona Rae is working to bring an age-old technique into the 21st century, with her dazzling use of computer-generated fonts, sci-fi imagery - and a lot of glitter
The art scene can be as flippant as the fashion world, and for months those in the know have joked that "painting is the new video". But as with most jokes, the throwaway line contains a kernel of truth. You might think that painting must be as integral to the art world as black is to the fashion conscious. Yet only two painters have won the Turner Prize since Malcolm Morley won the first award in 1984 - Howard Hodgkin in 1985 and Chris Ofili in 1998. Perhaps as a result, painters have tended to present themselves as apologetic, retrogressive or defensive in their approach. But painting is making a return, with a plethora of shows planned for this year. The first of these, Painting Pictures: Painting and Media in the Digital Age, at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg in Germany, shows digital art can have a revitalising effect on painting.
This major group show includes work by artists as diverse as Jeff Wall, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami - who collaborated with Marc Jacobs to produce this season's "must-have" Vuitton bag - and British artist Fiona Rae. If this new-media-influenced approach can be dubbed "techno-painting", Fiona Rae is a prime practitioner.
Since 2000, Rae's paintings have been inspired by sources as diverse as Old Masters and graffiti artists, sci-fi and fantasy fiction, graphics and computer imagery. Her canvases are vast, most 8ft, with smoothly applied yet tangy colours, patches of glitter, amorphous shapes mingling with hard edges, clouds and swirls floating around letters in obscure computer-generated fonts.
Four of these paintings, recently seen at Rae's major solo retrospective at the Carre d'Art in Nimes, will travel to Wolfsburg. Lovesexy, a purple-hued painting named after a song by Prince, was the first painting that Rae made in this new style in early 2000. It has just been bought by fashion photographer Mario Testino, whose art collection is informed by his need to keep up with the moment. It's an urge that Rae understands. "I wanted to make paintings that reflect what's happening now. When I started I was trying to reflect the problems of making paintings. But I think things have moved on: making paintings is no longer such a problem."
Rae is part of the group of Young British Artists who found fame early in their careers. Rae studied at Goldsmiths College of Art with Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Sam Taylor-Wood et al, was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1991, and exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery and Sensation! in 1997. But then she retreated from the British art scene, leaving her London gallery, Waddington's, and preferring to show abroad.
Now the climate again seems right for Fiona Rae and her paintings. She's planning a solo show at the gallery of her new London dealer, Timothy Taylor, this autumn. She's working on a collaboration with Vogue. And the Tate is producing a range of merchandise based on her 10ft painting, Shadowland 2002, which is on indefinite display in the Level Seven restaurant at Tate Modern.
"I think it's fun if art filters out into different places and isn't always a grand moment on a gallery wall," Fiona Rae says of her Tate T-shirts, packing tape and badges. "I want to open things up, not be so exclusive as to what paintings can contain."
Tim Taylor comments, "Fiona has been a little quieter in the last few years, but I think the fact that she's not been shouting from the rooftops has strengthened interest in her work." Rae's work ranges in price from about Pounds 7,500 to Pounds 30,000. "There's a new audience for the work," Taylor argues. "People who admire painting are looking for something fresh and intelligent. She's developed this very bold and confident work that speaks for itself." Yet Fiona Rae herself seems far from bold or confident, and lacks the effortless assurance and sheer chutzpah of many of her YBA peers. Although polite and friendly, she is reserved, slightly inscrutable.
Rae's expat family moved around as she was growing up - she was born in Hong Kong in 1963 - and she went to many schools. She settled at a girls' country boarding school, Downe House, in the sixth form.
"There were two fantastic teachers running the art department," Rae recalls. "I used to love going there, and suddenly things really opened out for me. I started studying English at University College London, but it didn't work out and I realised I'd rather go straight to art school." She went to Croydon Art College, "And that's where my art education really kicked off. They told me to apply to Goldsmiths."
I suspect that Rae's foundation course at Goldsmiths felt like coming home.
She shared a studio for a time with the painter Gary Hume. "We'd encourage each other," she says. "I'd want to go in and see what he'd done, and vice versa. It was a lively atmosphere, you'd mix up years and groups."
At Goldsmiths from 1984 to 1987, success came swiftly. Selected for Damien Hirst's legendary Freeze show in 1988, by 1990 Rae was represented by Leslie Waddington, the dealer whose galleries dominated the then centre of the contemporary art world, Cork Street in Mayfair.
In 1991 she was selected for the Venice Biennale, and that same year, at the age of 27, nominated for the Turner Prize. Charles Saatchi started buying her work, and in 1997 gave her a joint show with Hume. Her work was painterly and abstract, untitled. "A kind of minimalism was in style," Rae explains. "Anything expressive, or making a brush stroke, was not in fashion. What I wanted to do for the last ten years was open it out and make pictures of something. But then it all had to be a bit detached."
In the late Nineties Rae detached herself - leaving Waddington and splitting up with her long-term partner, artist Richard Patterson. Their Barbican flat was sold. "I was out in Stratford in a studio building where I didn't really have any friends. Then I came further into town, to my present studio in Hackney. Suddenly other people were much more accessible.
That was a couple of years ago, when I started this group of paintings, and met Dan."
The aptly named Dan Perfect is an artist and musician whose work is currently on show at the Andrea Rosen Gallery in New York and who was working for Rae's studio building part-time. He and Rae married in December, and it is his sci-fi books and music that Rae raids for titles for her paintings. "I was making austere, bleak, threatening paintings, and I wanted to shift things. I started to play with the idea of the paint marks almost being object-like, with the shadows. Then these new, graphic-type shapes came in."
Rae's work incorporates symbols that can be interpreted, a little like dreamscapes. In Magic of 2000, which will be seen at Wolfsburg, Rae used glitter. "It seemed like an outrageous thing to do, but I like the idea that if there are painting rules it's good to ignore them.
"I found this font called Fufanu on the internet, and I started introducing it into the paintings. And spray paint. I wanted to open up what the imagery could be, to make a sense of place, or something a bit mysterious and romantic."
So the blossoming in Rae's personal circumstances was reflected in her work. And the boundaries of what was possible in painting were blurring, as the participation of more than 30 important contemporary artists in the Wolfsburg exhibition demonstrates.
Rae's most recent works travelling to Wolfsburg, Ringworld and Sweet Dreams, both of 2001, are her most explicitly descriptive. Sweet Dreams has patches of white glitter on its surface. "If there's a way of making a mark that serves my purpose I'll take it." Ringworld is constructed around clouds twisted like intestines, based on those in Duerer's work.
"The point of my paintings is to see how it's possible to construct things that are meaningful in new ways. That's why I'm interested in using different kinds of languages, different paint marks. Rather like a computer, I'm using my own code to break down symbols and reassemble them in my work; after that, it's all up to the viewer."
Has anyone seen any of Dan's paintings?
They're not my cup of tea but clearly he makes a living out of them
Dan has a website:
There doesn't seem to be much on it, but it gives you a little taste of the kind of work he does, that is when he's not busy writing great songs like "Calumny."
-Joanne (from Cape Cod)
You know, Fiona reminds me of Christine in this picture, ever so slightly. (sidenote: I really love her work).
"I did shoot all the guns I shot sober. That's true. Unless it's not, 'cause I can't remember."
-Carrie Frances Fisher
actually, she DOES look a little like Christine, if not in features, in manner. she has that plain, charming lack of pretentiousness about her...
You can see some more of Dan's paintings here:
Pretty cool.
That's what I thought.
"I did shoot all the guns I shot sober. That's true. Unless it's not, 'cause I can't remember."
-Carrie Frances Fisher
I'm sorry... but his art work reminds me of that 4-year-old girl Marla Olmstead's.
This is Dan Perfect:
And this is Marla Olmstead:
Actually I prefer the girl's work... just a smudge, er, smidge.
I would tell Christine Perfect, "You're Christine f***ing McVie, and don't you forget it!"
Found this clip of Dan P talking about his art quite interesting. This is from a joint exhibition with Fiona called 'Painter, Painter' in 2014.
I still find it incredible he did that one album (as far as I know) and then pretty much left the music industry behind. He really should have done more in music. I hope he knows there are people out there that appreciate ITM. He's a diversely talented chap- his artwork is just up my street, I find hers a bit twee.
"They love each other so much, they think they hate each other."
Imagine paying $1000 to hear "Don't Dream It's Over" instead of "Go Your Own Way"
Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.
