A new national arts project entitled Portable Radio organised by artist Russell Martin and art market specialist Sarah Thelwall came to University College Falmouth on Friday 26 September 2008.
University College Falmouth BA(Hons) Photography graduate Phil Clarke-Hill is currently showing at Greenwich's Viewfinder Photography. This hard-hitting exhibition tells the story of some of the hundreds of child workers who fight each day to survive on the streets of La Paz, Bolivia. The series of work, entitled Lustrabotas documents the shoe-shine boys of the city who sell a Big Issue-style newspaper to in an attempt to make an income. Many of those working on the street in the Bolivian capital wear masks to hide their identity as working on the streets is frowned upon. The photographs document the daily lives of these children, some of whom are homeless and fighting the temptation of drink and drugs, and struggle to survive in what is South America's poorest country.

In TOOT, founded in May 1998, we find the singing legend Phil Minton and the almost one generation younger Axel Dörner, trumpet, and Thomas Lehn, analogue synthesizer - at present two of the most in demand German musicians in the field of contemporary improvised music.
Nearly inaudible music streams through the real time-composed textures: air breaths out of a trumpet without forming a tone, and from a mouth, which gives stridulatory, groaning, hissing, howling, bubbling sounds of itself. Minton, the miracle of voice, can immitate each noise of its colleagues, also those 20 Hz tones and other sound substances of Lehns analogue synthesizer, whose electronic sounds are able to bridge the contradiction between technology and nature.
Like coincidentally developing rhythms disappear fast again in the nothing.
The poetry of this music lies in its fragility...
