Ste J Reviews – All the World’s a Stage

On April 3, 2016 By ResaIn Guests, Murals, Street Art9 Comments

Ste J from Book to the Future has found Batman…

…on a mural in Nottingham. Ste J writes this about the mural he found.

“Whilst criss crossing the Hockley area of Nottingham. I came across this befitting mural on the side of the Nottingham Art Theatre”

“If all the world’s a stage, then it follows that all the world should be thought of as a canvas backdrop onto which to put many scenes, that we the actors can take our cue from.”

“After all what is a stage but the interpretation of space and the forms thereon. Imagination is as much a process of life as art.”

“I like the idea of Batman watching me for entertainment, I can’t smash up building with reckless abandon to bring bad guys to justice but I can avoid oncoming traffic and check my shoelaces are tied.”

Rebecca has also sent us something Alfred Stieglitz once said. Here is part of it:

Ste J Reviews – A Mural

On March 8, 2016 By ResaIn Guests, Murals, Street Art31 Comments

Ste J – Book to the Future sent us this colorful mural. I think it’s a fun piece to segue from Kids Month back to regular programming.

He has written a wonderful commentary, which is in quotation marks & italics.

“On an adjoining wall to the entrance of the Broadway Cinema in Nottingham there is a vibrant and eye catching mix of images.”

“I like to see this as a promise to amaze and inspire, to allow escape or thought provoking material.”

“It is wonderful when the cinema experience starts outside and triggers off that excitement.”

“Art can influence moods as we potter about town but to work in tandem with the surroundings makes it even more interesting as a medium of feeling as well as visuals.”
