Kings Cross Redevelopment

Mark Fletcher — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 09:33:44 +0000

Things are changing quickly in our local area. The arrival of Eurostar and the redevelopment of the old railway sidings at Kings Cross is apparently the biggest brownfields redevelopment in Europe. It will mean something like 3000 new homes, shops and offices on the edge of the Parish, and is sure to have an enormous impact on Barnsbury. You can keep up to date with what is going on with this excellent Blog

News confirmed today that as well as The Guardian, and Sainsburys head office, Central St Martins School of Art are relocating to Kings Cross. Students are already imagining how the space will look.

The Drawing Room

Mark Fletcher — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 10:39:27 +0000

This Thursday at COTC we are pleased to be hosting one of Rob Peppers excellent ‘Drawing Room’ workships (as seen in Time Out). It is more than a drawing class, using drawing as a meditation. It is open to all – no experience necessary, and is a lovely non-threatening environment to kick start your creativity, or develop existing skills.

Rob is a major artist with exhibitions around the world, and is currently showing in Liberty’s on Regent Street.

The Drawing Room. COTC 17th April 8pm-10pm. Suggested donation £5.

Easter 2008

Mark Fletcher — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 12:36:01 +0000

If felt to me that Easter brought together all the themes we have been exploring over the last few months, themes like Kingdom, justice, restoration & creation. On Sunday morning we reflected on the ressurection account in Luke, and also this wonderful image by Stanley Spencer (click for a very large version). He imagines the resurrection in his own village church yard at Cookham in Berkshire, a new easter morning with creation and humanity restored together.

Easter is our declaration of hope in the midst of a bleak and suffering world. This is what we proclaim.

Lots of you will know Fiona Fouhy who is a graduate from central St Martins. She uses the hidden stories lurking within the urban landscape surrounding Kings Cross and St Pancras in her triple exposure photographic images.
Fiona is showing new work (an installation with historian Alan Dein) for the Arrivals2007 festival celebrating the opening of the channel tunnel rail link at St Pancras.
There is a private view on the 17th November and a few other events happening in the area – see www.arrivals2007.org.uk for more information
