 SALVAGE AT HOMEBUILDING SHOW
Last weekend's Homebuilding and Renovating Show had a new architectural salvage section next to the Period Living Pavilion. Five businesses, from the South of England, took part in creating a new salvage yard area; Woodstone from Surrey, Cox's Yard from Gloucestershire, The Old Radiator Company from Sussex, Olliffs Architectural from Bristol and Source Antiques from Somerset. The Show was very busy every day and it is thought there were more than the 35,000 visitors of last year.
Emma Farrington from Period Living helped to put together the salvage area. She said "I am really proud of the effort everyone put in to bring reclamation and restoration to the show. The salvage area and period pavilion looked fantastic."
Nick and Donna Cowen from Antique Baths of Ivybridge, Devon were in the Period Living Pavilion. On the Thursday trade day, they said "After a two year break, we're back here again. We've been really busy since January, with a few really interesting projects; working on bathrooms at the Tregothan Estate in Cornwall that sells tea, and for the Earl of Shaftesbury at his St Giles House in Dorset."
Lou Cronin from Woodstone and the Original Homestore said "We had a fabulous response from visitors at the show - everyone loved the mixture we have of new and old pieces - and the overall feel was that people were really excited to see something a bit different from the High Street. It was a great opportunity for us to introduce our store to a totally new range of people and it seems to have worked as the phone has been red hot since we got back!"
Woodstone, Cox's Yard, Antique Baths of Ivybridge and Period Living will all be Salvo Fair 2011, 24-26 June, Knebworth House, Hertfordshire.

 CORNISH SHIPPING CONTAINER ART PROJECT
For nine weeks, design ideas relating to Cornwall are being celebrated through a series of shipping containers placed around the coast.
The theme is surprising design stories. The stories have been nominated by a number of people in the world of design, culture and academia including Rick Stein and Kevin McCloud. Some stories are expected like The Tate St Ives and wind farms, but others not so expected like titanium, which was discovered in Cornwall, wireless telegraphy and the Cornish shovel.
Each of the fifteen containers is painted with a striking colourful design. The containers have been placed in unusual places, bike trails, city centres, sand dunes, and piers. Shipping containers were seen as as the ideal vehicle for the display of each design story, being a relevant symbol for a county surrounded by sea, and an icon of design in their own right.
The exhibition runs from 19th February to 25th April.

 SALVAGE USING, WELSH ARTIST TO EXHIBIT AT VENICE BIENNALE
Tim Davies has been chosen to represent Wales at the fifty fourth Venice Biennale this year. Davies is Head of Art at Swansea Metropolitan University and one of Wales leading artists.
Davies multi media work includes pieces using found images, sculpture, drawings, college and film. in 1999, Davies created a piece of work called 'Llawr Fforestfach/Returned Parquet'. A reclaimed mahogany parquet floor from a reclamation yard in Swansea was shipped over and laid in a rainforest in Belize.
Axis, an arts website, says 'This insightful intervention is a powerful evocation of Britain's involvement in the colonisation, destruction and exploitation of the land and peoples of Central America.'
Davies new work at the Biennale will be shown in a former chapel and convent in Venice from June 4th to November 27th.

 TRINITY MARINE TO EXHIBIT AT SALVO FAIR 2011
This year's Salvo Fair will be the first for Devon-based nautical specialists Trinity Marine. The company has been operating for many years from a warehouse and small shop in South Devon. Now with a comprehensive website, Trinity Marine can offer its wares to a far wider audience. Attending the Salvo Fair is all part of getting its name out there.
The source of Trinity Marine's stock has been a well-kept secret, but with the supply of dilapidated old ships running thin, it is happy to reveal that staff travel extensively around Asia to buy goods.
Trinity Marine says on its website, 'In recent years we have been salvaging thousands of fixtures, fittings & items of furniture from the best ocean liners and passenger ships stricken at the ship-breakers in the Far East.'
'We have been involved in the largest marine films, theme-parks and retail outlets as well as countless privately owned pubs, restaurants & homes around the world. We are also ideal for those who love vintage, retro, mid-century design, 20th century industrial, art nouveau, art deco, 50's deco.'
Mark Jameson, from Trinity Marine said, "For the Salvo Fair we hope to bring along some good examples of all the different kinds of things we stock."
Salvo Fair is open from Friday 24th to Sunday 26th June at Knebworth House in Hertfordshire.

 ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST'S CHOICE OF MARCH FAIRS
Architectural Digest March edition contains a preview of several notable US antiques shows. Here is the list, and AD's description:
The Pier Antiques Show
As winter wanes, astute collectors and antiques aficionados alike flock to New York City's highly anticipated Pier Antiques Show, where 500 exhibitors present precious treasures in a massive space on the Hudson River. The show offers a wide variety of selections, from fine art and furnishings to industrial design and Tiffany glass. Those with a penchant for retro wear can peruse Fashion Alley for vintage apparel, while tried-and-true fans of modernism can pick through countless rows of 20th-century goods.
March 12-13 at Pier 94 (12th Avenue at 55th Street)
Connecticut Spring Antiques Show
Attending the Connecticut Spring Antiques Show is like traveling back in time; all of the offerings were crafted prior to 1840. Much of the show boasts classic Americana-ranging from handmade wood chairs and tables to cast-iron fireplace grates-yet items from abroad, such as Oriental rugs and ceramics, are in evidence as well. As if the authentic relics weren't enough, the crowds at the Connecticut Expo Center are always lively.
March 12-13 at the Connecticut Expo Center in Hartford
Scott Antique Market
The Scott Antique Market in Atlanta takes over 366,000 square feet of exposition space once a month to host the largest indoor antiques show in the country. Stocked by vendors from around the world, it features exotic ephemera as well as sought-after country classics like copper pots and pans. Be sure to stop by the specialized booths, including one that sells antique doors and another dedicated to monogrammed silver. Whether touring the North building for furniture and art or strolling through the South building in search of quirky collectibles, Scott's- -as the locals call it- -is not to be missed.
March 11-13 (and the second full weekend of each month) at the Atlanta Expo Center
The Original Round Top Antiques Fair
With a population just shy of 100, Round Top, Texas, does not seem like it would be a hot destination. But when it comes to antiquing, this tiny speck on the map more than pulls its weight. Twice a year the Original Round Top Antiques Fair attracts 350 dealers to exhibit wares across 43 acres and four venues: the Big Red Barn, the Big Red Barn Tent, the Continental Tent, and the Carmine Dance Hall. Exquisite sets of copper tableware, delicate china, and cherry furniture are not the only attractions for tourists around here. Once you've shopped until you've dropped, burger, beer, and Texas-barbecue stands are on-hand. March 30-April 2 in Round Top, Texas
Alameda Point Antiques Faire
The first Sunday of every month, more than 800 dealers and 10,000 visitors gather on the old aircraft runways of the Alameda Naval Air Station for the Alameda Point Antiques Faire. This famous market offers panoramic views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge, delicious international food selections, and every antique, collectible, and taxidermy creature under the California sun. Locals know the secret to finding the best treasures at the largest antiques show in Northern California: Set your alarm clocks early, grab your morning coffee, and get there before the rush.
March 6 (and the first Sunday of every month) at Alameda Point
Long Beach Antique & Collectible Market
The third Sunday of each month draws serious collectors, bargain hunters, and Hollywood set designers to the Long Beach Antique & Collectible Market for all things "chic, cheap, unique, and vintage." Booths include everything from estate-sale jewelry and antique toys to vinyl-sheathed furniture and garden statuettes. Rest assured that you won't get anything mass produced- -at least not within the past two decades, given the show's 20-year limit. Proximity to the sea, offerings from popular beer vendors, and the laid-back Southern California vibe add a leisurely feel to the outdoor market's bohemian ethos.
March 20 (and the third Sunday of every month) at Long Beach's Veterans Stadium.

 LISTED PROPERTY SHOW THIS WEEKEND
Exhibitors for this year's Listed Property Show include Architectural Heritage and Winchcombe Reclamation from Gloucestershire, Charles Brooking Collection from Surrey and The Old Radiator Company from Kent.
Kelly-Marie Smith from Listed Property Owners Club says 'As we all know, owning a listed property is not always health, wealth and happiness. Legislation, conservation and regulation can seem like the three horsemen of the listed property owner's apocalypse. Just finding a decent builder or understanding the VAT rules is enough to give you sleepless nights.'
'The Listed Property Show is a free event for select Listed Property owners, designed to banish all your domestic nightmares and ensure another 12 months of healthy home-ownership. For February 2011, we've bought together the industry's best, all under one roof in London's Olympia.
'It's a unique opportunity for a stress free one-to-one session with our ever-popular conservation officers, who will work through hypothetical plans for extension or alteration. From window and door manufacturers, to craftsmen and 'caring' builders, to the rather more prosaic experts in fire protection or insurance.'
The Listed Property Show is held on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th February at Olympia in London. Admission is free.

 EXHIBITION OF RESTORED INDIAN ANTIQUES
An exhibition was held in January called Tribute in remembrance of Mahendra Doshi who passed away in May 2010 and whose hobby was furniture restoration. His nephew Chiki Doshi has set up a business with two partners restoring antique furniture, and put on the exhibition of 100 pieces of their work.
One of their projects includes fixing up old ship lights which could be used to light up the exterior of buildings. A 100 year old magosa and ebony cabinet had new handles made for it, and huge old copper water containers have been restored as planters to hold big shrubs or trees.
"Unless the furniture is in a very good condition, we usually disband all parts of the furniture, restore them and then bring them back to create the old magic." says Chiki. The partners source the furniture through a wide network of scrap dealers all over India and abroad.

 RECLAIMED ART EXHIBITION AT LASSCO
Reclaimed, a one man show by David Taborn, runs from 2 - 21 December 2010 (exc Sundays) at Lassco Brunswick House.
Taborn writes that the mixed media piece (photo above) draws together references to Joseph Beuys, Sigmund Freud and Richard Wagner through the famous Bruno Bettelheim case study of 1959, 'Joey the Mechanical Boy', about an autistic boy named Joey who behaved as if he were a machine: 'he could not drink, except through elaborate piping systems - liquids had to be pumped into him.
Born in Austria, Bettelheim was a Freudian child psychologist who had spent 11 months in Buchenwald concentration camp before emigrating to America. The case study describes how Joey created his own prison-heterotopia: imprisoned in his own mechanical fluids (Bettelheim states that for a long time Joey spoke about 'master-paintings' and a 'master-painting room') - Joey paradoxically became the driver of his own machine.
In the painting itself, a charred frame within the frame contains an unauthenticated work on paper by Beuys (dated 1955, the year Beuys's studio caught fire) bought by Taborn at auction, of a circle and hearts, using hare's blood and fat as the medium. Forms in the Beuys original are echoed throughout the painting as a whole (circular saw, ball-cock, melting Wagner vinyl records). Like Schrodinger's cat, the work on paper within the painting hovers uncomfortably between things that are and things that aren't: whether the work is indeed a Beuys; whether 'social sculpture' and the high aspirations of Wagner, Beuys and Bettelheim for humanity and society (the Wagnerian 'gesamtkunstwerk' which Beuys espoused) can square with their own self-generated fictions and personas, or even with their ambiguous relationship to Judaism/social fracture.
JJ Charlesworth wrote of his 2008 New York exhibition, 'Looking at David Taborn's work is always fun. This is not for a lack of seriousness on the artist's part. But that we should feel such enjoyment in observing his works, and that this enjoyment should seem unusual, perhaps even uncomfortable, does say something about the way art today is supposed to display its seriousness. Visual pleasure, vivid colour, robust, energetic, sumptuous and demotic forms - such experiences are often thought of as trivial or superficial, as somehow 'merely' a question of individual gratification or self-indulgence, when there are more sober and pressing matters in the world that art should attempt to address.'
Some of the pieces use reclaimed materials.

 GOOD BUZZ AT SEPTEMBER FAIRS
"Decorex has been absolutely fabulous, really good," said Guy Trench from Antiques By Design. "At Decorex reclaimed furniture and lighting are selling well. We've taken good orders of over £1,000. Battersea has a great buzz. There has been lots of interest in our feather shades, shot gun lamps and old telephones with LEDs in the receiver and ear piece." Guy Trench also exhibited at Battersea Antiques Fair.
Catchpole and Rye exhibited for the first time at Decorex this year. Tony O'Donnell said, 'We don't really know yet whether we had good sales, or any leads - it's pretty early days. We had some antique baths, basins and WC pans on the stand. We haven't decided yet whether we will exhibit again." Mr O'Donnell said that visitors included Russians with diamonds on the soles of their shoes.
Regulars Victorian Wood Works and Drummonds Bathrooms did not to exhibit at Decorex this year.
