'Newport RFC, 140 Years of Rugby' Exhibition
This is the opening evening of the ‘Newport RFC, 140 Years of Rugby’ exhibition at Newport Museum and Art Gallery. Former team captain, Brian Price gives his opening speech and generously takes time to talk to FoNMAG about the exhibition and of leading Newport RFC to victory against The All Blacks in 1963.
Brian Price explained that some of the exhibits on display were items that were normally closely guarded within the clubhouse and only viewed by those invited to the club’s Everson Room. The exhibition therefore provides a rare opportunity for the public to see them.
Admission is free and the exhibition will be open until 16th April 2016.

More about this programme:
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May attempt to prove that cars can be art by taking over an entire modern art gallery in Middlesbrough and filling it with motoring-related works, including some remarkable creations of their own. In their quest to prove that cars can be more popular than traditional art, the presenters set themselves the challenge of attracting more visitors to their exhibition than will visit a more traditional gallery over the same period, a task that forces them to engage in some unusual promotional activities.

We asked ourselves and realised Rugby is very close to what is on display here. First the rugby civilisation is very close. We know that the best teams are teams from the Southern Hemisphere and Oceania, Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, South Africa, so teams from countries represented in this museum and then the values of combat, of cultural dialog. I think rugby is a combat, it has that warrior element and also strong respect for the opponent. So you find yourself in a dialog between cultures.

The Maori culture, it's like the first real opponent that the English colonies have come across. It was a culture that really embraced war as part of their culture. The way of the warrior is deeply entrenched in the Maori culture. It's the Haka. So for me this is why I am doing it. It's the chance to put a bit of history behind the game of rugby. Through this period piece which is quite a great war.

That they will beat everybody on their way (during the rugby WORLD CUP)?... That they will destroy all the teams on their way?

This is absolutely an epiphany moment for me and it's monumental. It's still early days to say but as far as my Curriculum Vitae is concerned, this is the highest. All of my life, 36 years have come to this moment and, Voila quoi!

LEAD IN:
Art and rugby have not always walked hand in hand.
However, ahead of the Rugby World Cup, the two have been brought together in a Parisian museum.
A show inspired by the sport is just opening at the Quai Branly museum.
STORYLINE:
There's no question that great athletes take their sports to the level of art.
But as the French host the Rugby World Cup, they're pushing that concept a step further by bringing rugby into an art museum.
It's a genteel Parisian touch to an tournament more often associated with bulging muscles, spectacular tackles and infamous ear-biting incidents.
To coincide with the September 7- October 20 tournament, the Quai Branly museum is hosting rugby-related exhibits, visits and roundtables with archaeologists, historians, sociologists and former players.
The museum has also covered its roof over with green turf and turned it into a mock playing field with a close-up view of the Eiffel Tower.
The concept behind the series, called La Melee des Cultures (Scrum of Cultures), requires some explanation.
Quai Branly, which opened last year, is devoted to the so-called primitive arts of Africa, Asia, the Americas and Oceania.
One of the works on show at the museum are the paintings of Greg Semu.

FVU FRAMES: Ravi Deepres, 'The Gain Line', 2015
‘The Gain Line’ is a moving-image art work by Ravi Deepres to be shown at three UK galleries in autumn 2015, coinciding with the Rugby World Cup. The title refers to an invisible line on the rugby field that measures teams’ forward progress and their territorial advantage over their opponents. Throwing their bodies into the fray to surpass it, and putting their bodies on the line to protect it, players attach inordinate importance to getting beyond this symbolic threshold on the pitch. Beneath the high-impact challenges that take place along this notional frontline, there is another ‘gain line’ players and coaches aspire to reach – one that parallels the rush of competing players with a swarm of chaotic, sometimes conflicting data, captured by a new generation of sensors that players wear in training, and in matches. Although rugby is a visceral, physical sport (‘no pain, no gain’ its philosophical mantra) it is also one that increasingly monitors and mobilises a range of sophisticated technological data (including GPS, heart rate and other readings). Combining insights gained from this new digital field, while also transporting us back to the historical origins of the game, Deepres’ work captures the intensity and dynamics of the sport while also evoking some of the physical and psychological forces it sets in motion.
Commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella and Rugby Art Gallery and Museum in partnership with Phoenix, Leicester and ICIA, University of Bath. Film and Video Umbrella is supported by Arts Council England.
'The Gain Line' exhibition dates:
Rugby Art Gallery & Museum: 12 September 2015 – 9 January 2016
ICIA, Bath: 25 September – 19 December 2015
Phoenix, Leicester: 1 October – 29 November 2015

Heritage in Salford
Salford's heritage is not all about docks and Eccles Cakes! The town is home to many diverse communities, and boasts over 270 listed buildings, as well as important natural heritage sites such as Clifton Country Park and a large number of public parks. Salford was the first borough in England to establish a public library, museum and art gallery, and has a strong rugby-league tradition.
Over the last 4 years (from 2009 to 2013) years, HLF has been working with the help of local partners (including Salford City Council, Salford Museum and Art Gallery, and Salford University) to increase the number of grant awards to community heritage projects. As a result we have funded 34 groups and invested £2.2m into developing Salford heritage projects.
This video showcases some of the projects we have funded in Salford and the effects they have had on the local community. We hope it will encourage more groups in Salford to talk to us about their ideas for heritage projects.
