Six Inches from the Wall
'Anything hanging or standing - but no more than six inches from the wall' - that's how the judges of the John Moores Exhibition at Liverpool define entries for this year's contest. Once upon a time they would have simply said 'painting'. So how far has art got now? Who is the ã3,000 prize winner? Why art contests?
Some of the questions to be asked at this week's opening of Britain's major two-yearly art competition.
Speak, Memory
The title the Russian-born novelist Vladimir Nabokov gave to the autobiography of his early life. Now living in Switzerland Nabokov recalls the memories of that book in an exclusive television self-portrait.
The Soldier's Tale
This work by Stravinsky was originally staged in 1918. Now it has been brilliantly re-created in its original form by the Theatre de la Tempete, a French group, visiting the Round House tonight and tomorrow - with Jean Babilee, the great ballet dancer, as the Devil and Diego Masson, one of France's leading musical personalities, as conductor.
