For further information, to suggest a topic or to volunteer to present at this event, please contact Graham Furnace by e-mail (oguk.dr.enquiries@rsoh.co.uk).

The Ideas Olympiad: Art Theft and the Case of the Two Stolen Turners
6th June 2013 | Stratford Circus - Circus 2, Theatre Square London, Greater London
The Ideas Olympiad: Art Theft and the Case of the Two Stolen Turners The Ideas Olympiad is a free series of events, brought to you by the London Borough of Newham, which will bring high profile and interesting speakers to the borough from 28 May - 27 June, to talk to residents about their ideas and vision. Art Theft and the Case of the Two Stolen Turners Thursday 6 June Stratford Circus - Circus 2, Theatre Square, Stratford, London E15 1BX Doors open: 6:30pm Event starts: 7pm Book signing: 8pm Event ends: 8:30pm Sandy Nairne - Director of the National Portrait Gallery, London (previously Director of Programmes at Tate). In 1994 two important Turner paintings (then valued £24million) were stolen from a German public gallery while on loan from the Tate Collection in London. Sandy Nairne (then Director of Programmes at the Tate) became centrally involved in the pursuit of the pictures, and the negotiation for their return. In his talk, Sandy will talk about this complex cloak-and-dagger story, which finally concluded with the Turners going back on public display in 2003. The theft of high-profile works of art is not new, and recurs on a fairly regular basis: 2011 marks the centenary of the theft of the Mona Lisa from the Louvre, Paris and fifty years since the theft of Goya’s Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery, London. Sandy will also discuss other high-value art thefts, trying to resolve the puzzle of why thieves steal well-known works of art which cannot be sold, even on the black market. He will focus on the theft and recovery of works of art, while acknowledging that they form part of a much broader field of theft, looting and illicit dealings with art and antiquities around the world. Sandy Nairne will be signing copies of his book ‘Art Theft: And the Case of the Stolen Turners’. Please note that registration for this event will begin at 6:30pm.

Bookbinding: Concertinas Concertinas Two days, 6 & 7 June 2013 10am – 4pm Price: £120 (£100 for Friends of LCBA) In this course participants will explore the countless possibilities of the concertina (accordion) fold as a book form, using it as a basis for a number of interesting and varied book structures. You will learn how to make four to five books over the period of this two session course, including a quick cover out of folded paper or other simple method for each model. During day one students will explore the concertina as a text block, learning how intricate folding can result in a dramatic and pleasing book form. We will cover sewn "valleys" of the concertina structure, and how to produce a photograph album using this technique. During day two, participants will learn the technique of sewn "mountains", also known as the stub binding, which is perfect for binding flat sheets or sections of differing thicknesses into a single book. We will look at the concertina as a holder, also known as the "blizzard" book, or pocket concertina. All materials and tools are provided, and no prior bookbinding experience is required. After completion of this workshop, students will leave with the confidence to continue working on the techniques learned at home, enrol on further bookbinding workshops at LCBA, and attend Access Sessions in the binding studio at LCBA to work on their own projects.
