how to: An Evening with David Salle
how to: An Evening with David Salle
An Evening with David Salle. David Salle is the leading American postmodernist painter, the shaping spirit of a movement which provocatively took the entire history of art as its raw material as well as subject matter. His works are mysteriously original, yet everything they contain has had a life elsewhere: in paintings, in advertising, in comics, in photographs, yet somehow the result is all art. To coincide with his new book – How to See: Looking, Talking and Thinking about Art– Salle will walk us through the museum without walls that is his world.

What if we could Rebuild the EU?
What if we could Rebuild the EU?
There are scenarios that could lead to the break-up of the EU. Polls show that the EU is not very popular in many countries. Upcoming elections in several EU countries and informed opinion suggests that disintegration cannot be ruled out. It was formed in a very different era and with the emergence of globalisation and digital technologies, it is no longer fit for purpose. Its economic and social outcomes anyway leave much to be desired. Should our focus now be on creating a brand new EU rather than worrying about soft and hard versions of BREXIT?In this unique and controversial discussion event Lucy Anderson, London Labour MEP, and Professor Keith Pilbeam, an expert in international economics, will address this huge question and others head-on. Come along and be part of it!

The Question of Iran
The Question of Iran
After giving a brief background of Iran, Masoud Ahmadi will discuss the current situation of human rights in the country and the role of Irans rulers in the turmoil in the Middle East. While we in the West are correctly concerned about ISIS and the claim of an Islamic Caliphate in Iraq and Syria, a very important issue is overlooked: the ruling expansionist Caliph in Tehran. By focusing on human rights, we will hear how the unfortunate trend of events in the region can be stopped and in fact reversed.
