| London Jazz Festival |
|
|
| 14th November 2008 until 23rd November 2008 |
| Southbank Centre, South Bank Centre, Lambeth, London, SE1 8XX
If jazz is dead, someone forgot to tell the thousands of performers and fans who flock to London for this annual festival. The many venues on the South Bank lead the way, but there will be shows in venues throughout London, from fashionable clubs like Cargo to jazz stalwarts like 606, and even some in restaurants. A brilliantly diverse line-up every year proves that jazz is alive and well. Not only that, but it’s also evolving and attracting loads more aficionados. The organizers manage to attract some rare performers and, given the obsessive nature of ardent jazz fans and small venues, tickets sell out nearly as soon as they come on sale. |

Responding to a rapidly changing economy, the conference agenda will explore the concept of a ‘Creative City’ and what this means in practice today. Looking ahead to 2009 and beyond, delegates will consider the actions required to support diversity and growth, examining the role and impact of Government and the respective roles of property, education, funding and the public sector.
Chaired by Jo Burns, Director of BOP Consulting, the day will bring together leading policymakers, practioners and opinion formers.
The National Creative Industries Conference has an established base of delegates and is targeted at an international, national and regional audience, presenting an opportunity for professionals and practitioners from across the creative sector to contribute to the debate each year.

Dr Dietmar Elger from the Gerhard Richter Archive, gives a concise overview of the work by Gerhard Richter from his early photo paintings to the recent window for the Cologne cathedral.
During the 1960s Gerhard Richter found himself confronted with a world of mass media images and the omnipresence of photographic images. Richter responded to this challenge by adopting the typical stylistic elements from photography for his paintings. He will also explain how Richter later transferred this artistic concept to his Abstract Paintings.
