The show was scanned and processed into a powerpoint, below. The antique brass mesh chain we managed to source in NYC has now been gold plated and re-fitted to the pendants and charms. The stock is about to be returned to ‘a day on earth’ where they will now keep a permanent © Barbara Heath stock holding. We intend to also show new dimensional leaf lattice range by the middle of 2008 – and we are down for a *show sometime around August 2008, showing new stainless steel works. the powerpoint

* May 28 2008 . . . Just received the call from Jan Murphy, the decision to close the venue has just been made, now everyone has until the end of June 2008 to view and purchase the pieces remaining!

 

Barbara Heath – a day on earth – Brisbane News Page 7 Promo Wednesday, Nov 21 2007

Two days before the show opens, an early page announcement in the freebie style sheet – Brisbane News. The trip abroad that was the stimulus and inspiration for this exploratory new work was sponsored by the Visual Arts Board through the Australia Council – with a grant that assisted Barbara’s research into The Cheapside Hoard at the Museum of London. The Hoard’s curator, Ms Hazel Forthythe was generous with her time and in fact suggested Barbara should keep some energy and time spare to become involved in their 2012 activities when the Museum celebrates the Hoard’s 100 year Centenary – we look forward to this engagement. Being there led to a visit to the library at the Goldsmith’s Hall, one of the extraodinary London Guilds where we were ushered upstairs (after registration) to meet the Librarian, Mr David Beasley. We sat at the longest Georgian table I have ever seen, presented with volumes after volumes of ‘must see’ tomes on 17th C jewellery. Armed with this list of publisher and ISBN references made things easy later at the Portebello Road bookstore of NZ expatriate art book guru, Mr Don Kelly. Meanwhile, mal E was afforded the full cook’s tour of the clock collection within the Guild Hall, something he will never forget – thanks David!

The article goes on to mention Barbara’s observations of the 17th Century’s early ‘globalisation’ of the jewellery trades. A time when a burgeoning merchant class supplied consumer demand and the migration of skilled craftsmen (escaping religious persecution) led to a rapid development of styles. Add to this the discovery of the new world’s extraordinary gem wealth with the result escalating marketing opportunities by entrepreneurial middlemen – sounds like the owners of ‘a day on earth‘ doesn’t it? Do please make the journey to Arthur Street, New Farm for the show – we look forward to introducing our client’s to this new retail emporium.

Subject: Mal Enright – (powerpoint preview) of the my next artist book
Hi everyone,
I first collated these pieces in 1982–1986, Peter Anderson wrote an
interesting article on them but they have sat in a viewable plastic
folder until a few weeks ago . . . talking with Rex Butler recently
about the up-coming QAG Andy Warhol show and about my two visits to
the Factory in NYC 1974 & 1977 . . . I told him of this work-in-
progress, particularly the PRODUCT/MANAGER one with Fred’s business
card.
So I’ve now scanned and prepared the files for my next artist book
which I will do entirely in the studio from start to finish over the
next couple of months. As usual a limited edition of 30, please send
me an email to register your interest, the final price will be based
on recovering costs only so I don’t have a price as yet – ballpark
(A4 landscape, full colour, saddle stitched, 48 pager, self cover,
with the article and info detailed, maybe around A$50.00–70.00)
The powerpoint is 12.4Mb – a breeze if you have broadband – a while
to download on dial-up.
I love this work, it stands up stronger for being 20+ years old,
please take the time and feedback is appreciated . . .

Cheers from mal E (and Bh)
