Just in from Jennie Savage:
I am writing to invite you to my book launch on Thursday the 8 October
between 6-8pm.
The launch will be in the New Library, Central Cardiff.
The book is called 'Depending On Time' and it concludes my 18 month
investigation into Cardiff's Victorian and Edwardian Arcades in the light of the
SD2 retail development. The book explores the ways in which the development
is re- mapping the city scape and documents the micro - events and
conversations that happen against this backdrop of change.
Foreword by Peter Finch and essays by Dr. Andrew Cochrane and Dr, Bas
Spierings, plus images and site specific writing by a Research team of local
practitioners; Kate Vaughan, Laura Jenkins, Tom Pope, Vernetta O'Conner,
Jeremy Dixon, Roger Lougher, Rosemary Edwards and Keith Adams.
The publication includes 'A Million Moments', a short film made in Wyndham
Arcade and 'The Museum of the Moment', an audio documentary.
An archive documenting the arcades and the SD2 development called 'The
Arcades Project: A 3D Documentary' will be available to the public in the local
history section of the library and exhibited during the launch.
Hope you can come along to the opening and look forward to see you there. If
you can't come but would like a copy of the book it costs £9.99 and you can
order it from [log in to unmask]
Best wishes
