The Pre-Raphaelites in Oxford: Oxford Union
We visit the Old Library of the Oxford Union -- the debating society of Oxford University -- which was built in 1850s as new debating hall in a Gothic style. In 1857 it became the setting for what is sometimes described as a second Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, as seven artists worked together on a series of murals. This project was organized by Rossetti, who by this time was a close friend of Morris and Burne-Jones. The other artists involved were Val Prinsep, John Hungerford Pollen, Arthur Hughes and John Rodham Spencer Stanhope. William Riviere and his son Briton painted the three panels that were left over when Rossetti and his friends abandoned the work at the end of the Long Vacation of 1857.

The Oxford Canal Mural
A partnership of the Canal & River Trust, Oxford City and County Councilors, Thames Valley Police, the local boating community and the Waterways Management Company, are working together to promote the Oxford Canal Mural Project. The partnership will work with local residents, boaters, colleges and schools to tackle the ongoing problem with graffiti along the canal corridor. Four new murals will be created to cover the four walls of the two bridges on the Waterways estate in north Oxford, the Elizabeth Jennings Way Bridge and the Frenchay Road Bridge.

Renowned Street Artist Banksy Creates 'Brexit' Mural
Renowned street artist Banksy has reportedly created a new, large mural in the UK town of Dover showing a workman chipping away one of the 12 stars on the flag of the European Union. Representatives for the notoriously private Banksy have already confirmed that the work is genuine. The street artist, whose artworks have fetched as much as $1.8 million, left the new piece in the city that is considered to be the main British gateway for traffic to continental Europe.

The Birmingham Set, sometimes called the Birmingham Colony, the Pembroke Set or later The Brotherhood, was a group of students at the University of Oxford in England in the 1850s, most of whom were from Birmingham or had studied at King Edward's School, Birmingham.Their importance as a group was largely within the visual arts, where they played a significant role in the birth of the Arts and Crafts Movement: The Set were intimately involved in the murals painted on the Oxford Union Society in 1857, and Morris, Burne-Jones and Faulkner were founding partners of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co.in 1861.

Culture & Conflicts: Immigration and Brexit
We went round our university campus, at Manchester Metropolitan University, with a few simple questions for our fellow students. Mainly asking them about what they thought culture was and how their own culture is effected by such hot topics as Immigration in the country and how they felt Brexit effected them. We felt that these questions were well suited for our peers as at MMU you get students of varying ages from many diverse backgrounds, so we believed that the topic of culture would yield some great responses.

Could Brexit see a diminished London art market
(6 Oct 2016) LEAD IN:
International collectors are arriving in the British capital for London's annual Frieze art fair, an extravaganza of off-the-wall contemporary creations and bumper price tags.
UK-based galleries are currently enjoying sales boosted by a weakened pound, but how well might the London art market weather the storm of leaving the European Union?
STORY-LINE:
Coming to face-to-face with the art world. At Frieze Masters, galleries are delighting in surrealist creations.
London-based Helly Nahmad is presenting a minimalist booth filled with just three artworks.
It's displaying three paintings by famed Spanish surrealist painter Pablo Picasso. The price tag? A hefty 20 million USD each.
London-based Dickinson gallery is also pushing surrealism, dedicating its entire booth to surrealist paintings, drawings and sculptures.
Highlights include this painting by French painter Francis Picabia and works by Belgian surrealist artist Rene Magritte.
On Wednesday, the British pound fell to a low of $1.2634, a level not seen since June 1985 - that's over 31 years ago.
Well, it's brilliant because in a sense it's an invitation to come and buy in London, says James Roundell, a director at Dickinson gallery.
If the pound is low people buying in dollars or euros or whatever other currency can see it as an opportunity.
British Prime Minister Theresa May recently fleshed out some details over how the country will leave the EU.
She said she will invoke by March the so-called Article 50 of the EU treaty, the mechanism by which two years of talks on Britain's exit officially commence.
Roundell says he sees it as a great opportunity for the UK's art market.
The UK has 70 percent of the European art market so in essence if the politicians really listen to the people involved they would say; 'Well, we can actually grab 90 percent of the European market and make London the entrepot for Europe and really exciting possibilities, he says.
While nearby Frieze London has become known as an influential event for contemporary art, Frieze Masters features modern and historical galleries from around the world.
This year, there are over 130 showcasing art from the ancient era right up to the late 20th Century.
That includes London-based Sam Fogg that's exhibiting a range of art from the European Middle Ages, including these three sandstone reliefs from the 15th Century.
Ralph Taylor from British auction house Bonhams says he's seen galleries benefiting from the drop in the pound.
But whether London can maintain its role as the European art capital is unclear.
There is going to be a change culturally in London, he says.
But my feeling is that that won't necessarily affect the way the market functions. London has represented the hub for Europe for many years, in the single market that's obviously a natural scenario for us to be in. If we move out of that, it's about whether or not we can maintain our place running that hub.
Switzerland-based Bernheimer Fine Art is exhibiting a range of photographic works, including this famous piece by German/American fashion photographer Horst P. Horst.
Gallery director Blanca Bernheimer says Britain leaving the European Union may cause some London-based galleries to seek new bases in mainland Europe.
Perhaps in other art capitals, such as Paris or Geneva.
I think the problem is that a lot of galleries from the United States, from overseas, they used to have or they have now their base in London, she says.
So if all of this will happen it's a question how they will react? Maybe they will go to other cities like Paris, like Geneva, where we already have an international art market or maybe move to places that are already used to having a lot of this.

Dover residents comment on Brexit talks
(19 Feb 2016) Residents of a UK coastal town have different perspectives on whether they identify with continental Europe or prefer isolation, ahead of a British referendum on whether to stay in the 28-nation union.
Every day, passenger ferries roll in and out of the busy port in Dover, which is also the first stop for many migrants and asylum seekers arriving in the UK.
On Friday, British Prime Minister David Cameron forged ahead at tougher-than-expected talks with European partners, after meetings through the night failed to make much progress on his demands for a less intrusive European Union.
It's potentially a pivotal moment for the 28-nation bloc, which is proud of its decades of integration among once-enemy nations across Europe.
