s If you’ve been to Top Gear Live before you’ll know the form. Jeremy, Richard and James cock-ing about on stage with a bunch of cool cars, then a motorshow in the hall next door, right?

But this year, that’s only half the story. If you’ve been following the buildup on TG.com, you’ll know we’ve built our very own indoor race track with the help of Lo-tus Motorsport, the guys behind the Top Gear track at Dunsfold. So now, as well as the Clarkson, Hammond and May show, we all get entry to a separate 70 minute on-track extravaganza hosted by TG’s old chum Tiff Needell.

For Friday’s opener we had Star in a Reasonably Priced Car live in front of our very eyes, with Olym-pic legend Mark Cavendish and TV presenter Ben Shepherd. Nur-burgring queen Sabine Schmitz and The Stig hooned at great speed, and then we saw Formula One’s next generation, as sons of legends Freddie Hunt, Alex Brun-dle and Sam Brabham raced off in karts. Oh, and Lewis’s brother Nic Hamilton. The highlight had to be a mouth-watering collection of flame-spit-ting Group B rally cars running against the clock. Imagine a mas-sive Scalextric track, except you don’t have to put the cars back on when they fall off.

Trained as a graphic designer at the New-castle School of Art and Design, Hush’s art practice has taken him around the globe—throughout Asia, Europe and the United States. Hush’s immersion in such a diverse range of cultures and environ-ments is evident in his work and his cap-tivating portrayal of the undying beauty of the female form.

Hush merges various street art ap-proaches with traditional art practices to create complex and original work. The artist presents contemporary depictions of traditional portrait and figurative im-agery through an inventive mix of seem-ingly incompatible themes and aesthet-ics. Through his technique of layering divergent aesthetics, Hush’s contempo-rary paintings disclose the beauty pro-duced by years of decayed tagging and the possibility of creating something new.

Hush has participated in both solo and group exhibitions and shows worldwide including galleries in Los Angeles, New York City, Miami, London, Basel, San Francisco and Berlin. His work has been featured in a series of publications in-cluding Street Knowledge (Harper Col-lins), The Street Art Stencil Book (Lau-rence King Publishing), Huck magazine, Art Monthly and The Independent news-paper, where he was recognised in their list of the 'Top 20 Up and Coming Artists'.

In 2011 Hush launched his new installa-tion program and exhibition space, on-ethirty3, in Newcastle, UK

THAT’S WHY YOU DRIVE THE DEVIL AUDI R8

With the darkness and depths of winter well and truly upon us, ‘Lumiere’, Dur-ham’s festival of light this weekend utterly transformed our city with a se-ries of installation artworks and visual spectacles. Serving as a public plat-form for several international artists and performers, the event included some extremely promising and prolific works; amongst the most in-teresting centred around Durham Cathedral. ‘Chorus’ by the United Visual Artists alongside ‘Dune’ by Daan Roosegarde both embraced a similar approach, utilising the stunning setting of the cathedral to engage with and expose their respectiveartworks. Although differ-ent in their specific con-tent, this type of art is united by its large scale, installa-tion features and inter-active

The main focus of ‘Dune’ and ‘Chorus’s installations are based on a mutual engagement between the work and the viewer. ‘Chorus’ features a series of swinging pendu-lums of harmonious sounds and flashing lights, creating a constant state of flux and motion. The visitor’s experience shifts as he moves underneath it, changing from angelic choirs to the staccato rhythms of a beatbox. ‘Dune’, based in the Cathedral Cloisters featured rows upon rows of il-luminated rods, or ‘flowers’ of light, that triggers various lights and noises based upon the movement of the visitor as they pass by, creating a sense of unease and mystery.

We live in a time when the contemporary visual arts are in a constant state of flux, new ideas and methods are discarded as quickly as they are introduced. But the contemporary installations such as showcased in ‘Lumiere’, are trying to impact what art has always been about, to cre-ate an immediate, sensory experience that will affect the individual and stay with them. These new means of interaction and installation aim to unite and to reach out in these modern times of fragmentation and isolation, through innovative methods. But perhaps it all comes down to this; the emotional impact of art lives on in the memory, and not in museums, and this idea is what is truly at the heart of these innovative interactive installations.These works unite sound, light and movement, creating an almost spiritual effect. Being ‘part’ of the artwork gave a unique accessibility in a way that traditional gallery art simply couldn’t achieve. It becomes more a sensory experience with strong immediacy and in-volvement, rather than a framed focus on a gallery wall or isolated objects on pedestals. Time and space become the only constants around such works, thus dissolving the line between art and life, moving art and ‘reality’ closer together. Bill Viola, the master of modern installation art, and one of the most prominent contemporary artists of today, says of the subject; “When I make my work, I am making a space for individual con-templation and reflection. I want my art to be useful.” This is undoubtedly the direc-tion that modern art is moving in – with a designed function that engages with the individual with intimacy and the universal with accessibility.

question that I found myself wondering was: how do these qualities actually

further their artistic meaning, and is it simply a case of trying to find modern methods for a modern age, or does it

go deeper than that?The creative team behind the festival, Artichoke, stated that “the arts should

take place not only behind closed doors of theatres and art galleries, but also in public places.” Creating

accessible art for the broadest pos-sible audience is not an entirely new

concept in any way; however this kind of contemporary installation art, with

emphasis on personal interaction has created something new and exciting for

the modern age.

PostSecret is an ongoing community mail art project, created by Frank Warren, in which people mail their secrets anonymously on a homemade postcard. Select secrets are then posted on the PostSecret website, or used for PostSecret’s books or museum exhibits The concept of the project was that completely anonymous people decorate a postcard and portray a secret that they had never previously revealed. No restrictions are made on the content of the secret; only that it must be completely truthful and must never have been spoken before. Entries range from admissions of sexu-al misconduct and criminal activity to confessions of secret desires, embarrassing habits, hopes and dreams. The secrets are meant to be empowering both to the author and to those who read it. Frank Warren claims that the postcards are inspirational to those who read them, have healing powers for those who write them, give hope to people who identify with a stranger’s se-cret, and create an anonymous community of acceptance.

PostSecret collected and displayed upwards of 2,500 original pieces of art from people across the United States and around the world between its founding on January 1, 2005 and 2007.

The site, which started as an experiment on Blogspot, was updated every Sunday with 10 new secrets, all of which share a relatively constant style, giving the artists who participate some guidelines on how their secrets should be represented. It recently began posting approximately 20 new pieces each Sunday after a week when Warren mysteriously did not post any new secrets for one week.

You are invited to anonymous-ly contribute your secrets to PostSecret and the new PostSe-cret book, PostSecret Confes-sions on Life, Death and God. Reveal anything - as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before.

Create your 4-by-6-inch post-cards out of any mailable ma-terial. If you want to share two or more secrets, use mul-tiple postcards. Put your complete secret and image on one side of the postcard. Be creative but please don’t use any copyrighted images that may prevent us from including your secret in the new book.

So first thing first I have paddled the old project and absolutely loved it great on waves, loads of pop sweet edge to edge transaction and relatively fast on waves and flat water. At first glance the project X WOW! It looks amazing probably the best looking thing of all time, once I got over the looks I took it for ride on the North Tyne at the Tyne tour this year and I was gobsmacked. I got to the gorge and suddenly realised how fast, reactive and obedient it is a true gem in the playboating world. I got to the usual haystack that I love on the river left and the boat just took off. Improved speed, better control and OMG Trook loads of pop. I have found my new favourite Boat, All in All a true step forward for Wavesport and playboating.

For Wave Sport, paddling is a journey - over the course of a day, a year or a lifetime. Some journeys are destined for the chilled out fun of surf-ing a local, glassy wave, while the journey for others may culminate in a first descent of some remote and enormous drop. For those who believe that paddling isn’t just an activity, it’s a way of life, Wave Sport welcomes you to the ride.

Style, Power, Speed, roof box?

Jon Olsson is one of the few men to break through in both Freestyle Skiing and Alpine racing. A man that combines both the speed of racing but the style of being able to throw some serious tricks. Not only are these traits that seem to stick to his skiing, Jon has also been a trend setter with his vehicles too. Most professional skiers are usually seen lugging large amounts of equipment and gear around in unattractive vans and people carriers. Jon has taken his transport in a slightly different light by adapting some of the worlds most stylish and fastest cars to be able to carry a Roof box to carry his gear. Hopefully the trend will catch on and we will see a much greater selection of super cars at ski resorts worldwide.

“When a guy takes off his coat, he’s not going to fight. When a guy takes off his wristwatch, watch out!”

So what is it with men and their watches? James Bond (Daniel Craig) sporting

Chronometer. Source: Getty Images

A relatively inexpensive and unheard of watch has now become one of the most sought after timepieces after US president Barack Obama was seen wearing a Jorg Gray 6500 Chronometer. When the £260 watch made its first appearance it became a commercial success not because of what the watch has to offer, the battery powered watch does little more than tell the time, but because it puts anyone who buys one in an exclusive club that the most powerful man in the world is part of.

Times are changing with watch fashion, it used to be so simple!

A wealthy man would use an expensive watch such as a Rolex or an Omega as a symbol of their macho status, while the less fortunate man would wear a value for money Timex or Casio. But now the male relationship with his watch is a much more complicated affair.A collection of watches has long been a prized possession for any wealthy man but has the day really come that a retired man will show off his collection of relatively inexpensive watches to his grandson?

But don’t forget that premium watches are still worn by some of the manliest figures in the business! The likes of George Clooney, James Bond and Michael Phelps are proud ambassadors of the Omega brand. Rolex wearers include Matt Damon, Lance Armstrong, Roger Federer, and Harrison Ford the list goes on! For now the expensive watch is still a much more powerful symbol for any man. Who wouldn’t want to be associated with the famous people that wear these amazing pieces of design?

The ability to tell the time has been reduced to simply looking at a mobile phone or a laptop screen. Wristwatches have become much more about status and fashion. Aesthetics is the single most important thing about modern watch design. In the end it comes down to one thing, which watch do you prefer?So it’s up to you. James Bond or Barack Obama? Michael Phelps or Roger Federer? These people may mean nothing to you but to some they are worth forking out hundreds sometimes thousands of pounds for. Myself? I’m a James Bond man.

Coca-Cola

21 CocaCola Magazine

80 Years ago, Coca-Cola comissioned Haddon Sundblom to paint a number of paintings of Santa Claus.

He painted him looking Jolly and in a red suit, ever since then the image has become recognised worldwide.

We look at how this tradition has carried onover so many years. ..

CocaCola Magazine 22

Santa is all about Coca-Cola. No joke. Fat and jolly Santa with the red suit and cap, thick black belt, sooty boots, rosy cheeks, lu-minous eyes and brighter-than-white teeth is the product of a genius advertising cam-paign created by Coca-Cola in the 1930s.

In 1931 Coca-Cola expanded its target audi-ence from the adult who lacked pep to all fam-ily members who required cheer and joy. Coca-Cola was a great taste to be enjoyed by everyone! The company decided to launch an extensive advertising campaign to demonstrate its new appeal. Pioneering the use of well-known art-ists to design ad campaigns, Coke blitzed phar-macies and stores with promotional material.

The illustrations by one artist in particular, Had-don Sundblom of Sweden, took off. He portrayed Santa as a portly white man in a red suit bring-ing joy to families and friends simply with a bottle of Coke. It’s this version that we now see in shopping malls, greeting cards, commercials and Salvation Army booths around the country.

The legend of the Christmas Truck has its roots in the USA. The Coca-Cola Company in Atlan-ta commissioned a TV ad, the aim of which was to combine Christmas and the American way of life. This gave birth to the idea of the Christmas

Truck which combines the feeling of mobility and freedom with the desire for light, warmth and security during the cold and dark winter

months. This TV ad is one of the most well-known and popular in the history of Coca-Cola advertising — which is why Coca-Cola decided to bring the original Christmas Truck to Europe in response to numerous consumer requests.

The Advert is now an icon for the start of christ-mas thanks to the popularisation of social network sites sich as facebook and twitter. It is said when the advert is shown on TV for this first time each year that it signals the start of the Christmas period.

Mega-City PyramidThe Mega-City Pyramid is a proposed design that is exactly what the name suggests, (a huge sir of a city all put inside one pyramid). The pyramid would house 750,000 people in skycrappers that are dangling like a fruit from a tree, and offers a way to create more space for people in over crowded cities with a design that could be used all around the world. It has been designed to be constructed in Tokyo Bay, Japan where the structure will be 730 me-ters above mean sea level, including five stacked trusses each with similar dimensions to that of the great pyramid of Giza.

The Future

It is thought that the Mega-City could be built and in use by 2110 but that is only if the suit-able materials can be found. At this current time construction cannot begin as we do not have the required materials available, every-thing is too heavy. Therefore the design relys on the future availability of super-strong light-weight materials based on carbon nanotubes.The building would be zoned into residential, commercial and leisure areas. 240,000 housing units, enough for 750,000 people. About 24 km² would be assigned to offices and com-mercial facilities intended to employ 800,000 people. The remaining 14 km² would be used

for research and leisure purposes.

The Green Float townships are proposed to be situ-ated at the Equator on account of the stability of the high seas there. The conceptualisation involves a clarified demarcation for city, district and country limits. Through such a high level of demarcation, the concept has been aimed at being more than just a visualisation.The basic structuring of the living areas will be tow-ers raised to a height of about 1000 metres. Through these towers, the impact of the wind has been sought to be minimised keeping the atmospheric temperature at a bearable 26 degrees Celsius.

Green Float

Houston Dome

The country’s fourth most populous city faces hurricanes, heat, and the growing consequences of global warming. Only a radical solution can save the city, a solution that may lie with a massive dome, 1,500 feet high and a mile in diameter that will rise over the city center. Many have argued against this idea, suggesting it may cause tension between those living inside and outside of the dome, and some also question what effect it will have on the wildlife.

The Bering Strait tunnel would connect Russia and Alaska, creating a high-speed rail line, freight route, and a crucial oil pipeline. Twice as long as the channel tunnel, it would be the most ambitious and expensive tunneling project ever attempted. To build it, massive Tunnel Boring Machines would start on both sides of the strait -- 64 miles apart -- and meet in the middle. On either side, workers would lay almost 4,000 miles of railway to connect the nearest rail heads to the tunnel. All this would have to be built in some of the most difficult conditions anywhere on the planet: permafrost regions, moun-tains and summer swamps, and an entire region known for frequent large magnitude earthquakes that put everything, and everyone, at constant risk.

“It’s not easy being green” a fa-mous frog once spoke these words but are they entirely true? Recy-cling came into practice properly in the 1970s, the introduction of recycling bins and recycling units is a way of trying to help reduce waste and re-use what we already have. We see many labels with things such as ‘made from recy-cled materials’ and ‘recycle me’ but is just recycling enough? As well as this with recycling comes downcycling, this is when the new recycled material is of a lower quality than the original, this hap-pens almost every time something is recycled.We all know about recycling but very little people know about downcycling or upcycling. Upcy-cling is the process of converting waste materials or useless prod-

ucts into new things of greater value. However, upcycling is not a new thing it has in fact been around for decades, mainly in developing countries but growing more popular due to companies which have set up with the goal of just producing upcycled products.Companies such as Resource Revival and JAM are two that have been in business for over 15 years and newer companies such as bikefurniture and reestore are among others devoted to design-ing and producing eco-friendly products. The beauty of upcycling is that less energy is used during the process and no downcycling is involved. Many upcycled products hold the resemblance of their past materials or products which is proving to be a recipe for mod-ern contemporary finishes. The

only problem is that upcycling is still not a household name that is known or understood and this has got to change.

5th November, Hexham, 2011. Photography and words by Josh Hornby Bonfire

The heat was incredible, the only time you would want to take a few layers off at below freezing!

Is burning a ‘Guy’ a good thing? If we cast our minds back to the first bonfire nights in 1605, it was to celebrate the monarchy and parliament. Today? Bonfire nights are a place to vent public frus-trations at parliament. The transition of burning limp straw guys to vilified effi-gies of parliament is due to a greater public say in politi-cal issues.

The Hexham Bonfire pulled a crowd 12,000 and above. The event had Steel pan bands, stalls, fireworks and the bonfire itself. The heat was incredible, the only time you would want to take a few layers off at below freezing! After the frantic half an hour of immense heat the cold began to creep back into the crowd. Luckily the the fire works began, as the fire died down. In-creasinlgy the fireworks at Hexaham bonfire are becoming more of the main attraction, and the bonfire done out of tradition. Which is good, but I hope you never forget to show our fustra-tions at the governement.h

WHO DECIDES THE GREATS?

RANKINJohn Rankin Waddell, working name Rankin, born 1966, is a British portrait and fashion photographer. Waddell was brought up in St Albans, Hertfordshire. At the age of 21, whilst studying accounting at Brighton Polytechnic, he realized that his interests lay elsewhere and dropped out, taking up the study photography at London College of Printing. During this time, Rankin met Jefferson Hack, with whom he formed a working relationship. The two decided to start a magazine together called Dazed & Confused once they had graduated.

In 1999 Hack and Rankin founded Dazed Film & TV, a production company that would produce the first mast-head televi-sion broadcast ever, the four hour special Renegade TV Gets Dazed, for Channel 4. In December 2000 Rankin launched his own quarterly fashion magazine, RANK. He also publishes Another Magazine and more recently Another Man.His many subjects have included Britney Spears, Kate Moss, Kylie Minogue, Spice Girls, Madonna, David Bowie, Björk, Juliette Binoche, Lily Allen, Kevin Spacey, The Rolling Stones, Vivienne Westwood, Cate Blanchett, Damien Hirst, Queen Elizabeth II, Tony Blair and M.I.A..

In April 2009 Rankin created ‘’Annroy’’, a contemporary structure designed by Tre-vor Horne Architects that is both a striking addition to London’s skyline and home to Rankin’s own state-of-the-art photograph-ic studio, gallery and chic living space, where he lives with his wife and model Tuuli Shipster. Each month ‘’Annroy’’ holds a different exhibition,

which features some of Rankin’s current work.Rankin was first married to actress Kate Hardie. They married in 1995, divorced in 1998 and had a son, Lyle, together.Rankin has photographed some of Holly-wood’s most famous people and has shot some world-renowned campaigns, in-cluding Nike, Umbro, Reebok, Marks and Spencer’s, Rimmel, L’Oreal, Hugo Boss, Levi’s, Shiatzy Chen, Thomas Wylde, Longchamp, Aussi, Madonna for H&M, Dove, BMW, and Coca Cola.

In January 2009, BBC 4 broadcast his 1 hour documentary Seven Photographs that Changed Fashion, in which he cre-ated his own tributes to the iconic im-ages by Cecil Beaton, Erwin Blumenfeld, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, David Bailey and Guy Bourdin. He interviewed an array of original photogra-phers, models and assistants, and used contemporary models including Heidi Klum, Erin O’Connor, Jade Parfitt, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, his wife Tuuli Shipster, Mol-lie Gondi, Daphne Guinness and David Gandy.In 2010, Rankin travelled to South Africa with the BBC to shoot the documentary, South Africa in Pictures. He explored the country’s rich photographic tradition, discovering how its photographers have captured this complex and turbulent na-tion through some remarkable images, charting the important role that photogra-phy has played in documenting its story.The same year, Rankin was commis-sioned by Nike and Bono’s R.E.D in the fight against HIV/AIDS, to shoot a global Nike campaign, Lace Up Save Lives, to raise awareness about the disease.

Oh. So. Lovely.Oh. So Lovely. is a range of handmade products by Samantha Cockshott in her final year of textiles at Leeds Uni.

Using vintage fabrics, these products are made from scratch and are perfect for sprucing up a plain piece of furniture such as a sofa or fireplace.

The appeal of these products, to me, is their unique fabrics and good quality from the attention to detail Sam paid during making. These products give off a very homely feel and almost a Cath Kidston vibe that immediat-edly says comfort and style.

Every detail has been thought through to compliment each other, even down to the ‘stitched with love’ labels showing the utmost care in everything made! I hope these are enjoyed by you guys as much as me!

C.H.KLEIN DUCATI 350Christian Klein is a skilled lathe operator and a craftsman engineer. He’s also a Ducati fan, and rides a red 900 GTS. In the cold German evenings, he drifts towards his workshop, inhabiting what he calls his ‘parallel world’. And it was in here, a few years ago, that Klein decided to build a light and quick café racer. So he created a custom frame, using high-strength, low-alloy steel. That bike is now finished, and it’s a work of art. The rear is unusually narrow, with the seat being merely two sections of foam rubber inset into milled aluminum plate. The exhaust winds through the frame under the seat unit, and was created using a home-made tube bending machine. The motor is from a Ducati 350 Scrambler, which Klein rebuilt and treated to a port and polish job. Attention to detail is everywhere, from the foot controls to the single rear (CB600-based) shock arrangement, and even the hand-made screws and lock-nuts. The forks, in case you’re wondering, are from a Yamaha RD. And the result is simply wunderbar.

LZR Racing Swimsuit

The LZR Racer is one of the most controversial pieces of sports equipment ever introduced. Critics have accused its manufacturers, Speedo, of ‘technological doping’ and complained it gives its wearers an unfair advantage. But there is no doubt that it works: 74 world records have fallen since the launch of the revolutionary swimsuit in March 2008.

The suit was created by Speedo’s Aqualab, the company’s global research-and-development facility in Nottingham. I ‘It is the swimmer, not the suit, that breaks world records,’ he says. ‘When you look back in history there has always been controversy. In 1928, when Speedo went from woollen swimsuits to silk swimsuits, there was moral outrage because it was skin-tight material.

Aqualab invented a fabric that cuts drag and applies pressure on the body to make it more hydro-dynamic. The swimmer moves more easily through the water, economising on oxygen by around 5 per cent. Other innovations included integrating a corset into the main body of the suit. ‘It gives an athlete more core stability,’ Rance says, ‘and that helps them maintain the correct position in the water. Say Rebecca Adlington is swimming 800metres and starts tiring, her hips start dropping and her legs start dragging so she cannot swim as fast. But if she is helped to maintain the correct position then she is at a huge advantage.’

At £320, the LZR Racer is out of the price range of some swimmers, particularly those from developing countries. But in Beijing the company offered free suits to any athlete that wanted one and gave away more than 3,000. Much to Speedo’s glee, swimmers sponsored by rival brands flocked to wear them; even more tellingly, 94 per cent of all Beijing’s swimming golds were won by athletes wearing the LZR Racer.

The XZ-1 is an undeniably attractive camera; in both its stealth matte black or glossy white finishes, it cuts a pretty classy figure.This, combined with the smaller control dial around the four-way controller, makes changing settings very simple. Several key functions (AF area, flash control and drive mode) are available on the four-way controller while others are also fairly easily accessed. The XZ-1 looks pretty comfortably in the hand and simply proportioned lense and text.
