By Phillip Worth (FPS President) 'Loss': Ellen Graubart Geometry has exerted a powerful influence on many artists and schools of art throughout history. ‘The Golden Section’, although not geometrical in the visual sense, is a mathematical concept and has probably been at work on artists’ compositional awareness since ancient times. In the modern era the visual impact of geometry has been more explicit. With his concern for the inner structures of things in the visible world Cezanne wrote of ‘treating nature in terms of the cylinder, the sphere and the cone, all in perspective’ – Fernand Leger could be said to have been even more ‘up front’ with cylinders, spheres and cones; his were not part of the structure – they were the structure! (his nudes are possibly an acquired taste). The facets into which the Cubists fragmented their pictures were of simple geometric shapes, no matter how complex the finished structures, and, of course, geometric abstraction has taken this approach t...

At a recent Committee meeting, it was decided that we would go ahead with the venue of the crypt of St Pancras Church, in the Euston Rd. This approximate dates are 13-27th June 2009. Fees for participants will be £10 per sculpture or £50 for an installation. Work must be delivered to the venue, which does involve a set of about 20 stairs down to the crypt. Participants must be prepared to sit in for two days of the exhibition. We need to ensure that there are two people invigilating each day. If you yourself cannot be there, then arrange for a deputy, this is a requirement for participation. * FPS will arrange some publicity, but we really rely on you sending out invites.

The health and security rules of galleries have tended to prevent us from showing three-dimensional work. The space is varied and large, some pieces could be outside. Heavy sculpture can be ...
