The Winner & Loser of 2008-2010 Art Council England Regular funding for organisations in Oxford.

Today is the important day for subsidised art organisations in England.

Art Council England (ACE) announced 2008/2010 Regular funding for organisations list.

This fund is very important for these organisations because most of them rely on this fund as their budget. If they lose this opportunity, it means they should reduce their scale or close the organisation.

I went some organisations and met artists or art managers in Oxford for last semester.

Of course, this meeting is continue for this semester.

 

Are they success to get fund?

Referenced from Arts Council England regular funding decisions for 2008-2011 (Arts Council England)

 

The winners... (Introduction by ACE)

Modern Art Oxford www.modernartoxford.org.uk

2008/09 ￡891,679

2009/10 ￡995,755

2010/11 ￡940,480

A major visual arts exhibition space with an established international reputation. Its focus is on one person, group and touring shows of contemporary artists from Britain and around the world.

-------

I think Modern Art Oxford is the biggest art gallery in Oxford. (If I am wrong, Please comment to me ASPA) This gallery is success to get fund and able to manage stability. The interesting point is 2010/11 funding amount is less that 2009/2010 funding.

Anyway... Didn't OVADA (www.ovada.org.uk) apply it or ... ?

 

Oxford Contemporary Music www.ocmevents.org

2008/09 ￡93,064

2009/10 ￡126,456

2010/11 ￡98,157

Oxford Contemporary Music is one of the region’s leading promoters and commissioners of new music, presenting innovative, inspiring and surprising events in a wide range of settings. It programmes a wide diversity of music from within the UK and worldwide and its education and outreach programme takes its work into education and community contexts.

-------

This company's office is located my university's Art department building, where I go every Tuesday 1PM. (It means this organisation has good relationship with my university) They organised interested concerts and education programmes. Also, 2010/11 founding amount is less than 2009/2010. (What will happen at 2011?)

 

Oxford Playhouse www.oxfordplayhouse.com

2008/09 ￡285,472

2009/10 ￡293,179

2010/11 ￡301,095

A mid-scale presenting theatre with some producing in-house that includes commissioning and co-productions. The organisation has begun presenting in their studio and delivers an extensive outreach programme.

------

One of the biggest theatre at Oxford. (Another theatre is Oxford New Theatre, which is belong to livenation(www.livenation.co.uk)) Ah... I miss the greatest play "Aladdin (Panto)"!! (Am I an Arts Management & Administration student?)

 

Pegasus Theatre www.pegasustheatre.org.uk

2008/09 ￡231,075

2009/10 ￡310,000

2010/11 ￡318,370

Pegasus is a centre of excellence for its participatory performing arts work with young people and also presents a programme of professional contemporary dance and theatre.

------

Pegasus... Pegasus... Pegasus...

They've got the fund again and can keep going their new theatre building plan. When I think this theatre, I just think their new theatre plan. Managers are proud doing this plan and think important. Also, I learn lots of things from them. I hope this budget help their new plan. Anyway... Their funding amount is more than Oxford Playhouse. Um...

 

Oxfordshire Touring Theatre Company www.ottc.org.uk

2008/09 ￡193,086

2009/10 ￡198,300

2010/11 ￡203,654

OTTC is a producing theatre company that tours to rural communities throughout the region, particularly Oxfordshire and Berkshire.

------

Unfortunately... I will go this company for this semester so I do not have any idea about this company.

 

Also... The ART organisation in Oxford, which are success to get fund from ACE and I don't know.

 

Modern Poetry in Translation www.mptmagazine.com

Artform: Literature

Region: South East

Constituency: Oxford West and Abingdon

2008/09 ￡30,000

2009/10 ￡30,810

2010/11 ￡31,642

The international magazine for the translation of poetry into English.

 

Artpoint www.artpointtrust.org.uk

Artform: Visual Arts

Region: South East

Constituency: Oxford East

2008/09 ￡115,852

2009/10 ￡118,980

2010/11 ￡122,192

A creative company working with artists to support new thinking and practice for the built environment and public space across the South East region.

 

The loser...

Anjali Dance Company www.anjali.co.uk

This company cannot receive the fund for two years from ACE. I am shocked this news because I don't understand why they lose funding.

This dance company is slightly different from other contemporary dance company because it organised by learning disability dancers. Their performance quality is high and has some education programme for learning disability children. I think these activity is enough for achieving the funding from ACE... However, today, they face very strong challenge. I hope they will deal with this problems.

 

Ok... It's done... However, I think most of art organisations are not happy with the amount of funding. (Yes... The problem might be Olympic but I do not know...) Maybe... they are happy just to get fund from ACE because lots of organisations lose.

Okay... How about my country?

Also, they are hungry for doing art...

 

Cheer up, British and Korean artists and art managers!

The First time step at Wheatley

When I finished my English Summer course.

I drove Oxford area.

The first arrival was Wheatley Campus.

About for an hour driving...

I found a sign, 'Welcome to Oxford Brookes Wheatley Campus".

However, I did not enter campus then because....

"This car park is able to park permitted cars" (Yes.. the sign... like this...)

 

After 6 month....

I steped this campus.... It's the first time....

 

However...

Lots of my friends, who meet other campus (Gipsy Lane and Harcourt Hill), are there...

Strange area but UNstrange people...

 

Anyway... My second semester is started new area, where I never visited...

So.. I met some accident...

 

1, Lecture room was changed (Do not believe PIP)...

I went the lecture room which mentioned on my PIP and wait the lecture there.

However... Suddenly... Someone said...

"Lecture room is changed. Have you seen the pink paper?"

Oh... My God...

A pink paper, which putted on the door, mentioned other lecture room because it changed.

 

2,Lottery Seminar group...

The first lecture was interested because I studied that in my country...

(Do you know? I graduate a college, where is higher education institute, at South Korea)

However, when it finished I heard very shocked announcement from the lecture.

"Sorry... lots of people applied on Friday so we cannot manage your seminar group on PIP. Your seminar group is mentioned on your module guide book's cover."

And... I saw cover

"Seminar, Time:7.00, Room:EL11"

What!!! 7PM!!!!

Oh dear! I want to watch football... (Sometimes, Premier league does on Monday)

Ah... Shocked... Shocked..

 

It's the start...

Heavy assignments...

Heavy in-class test...

Heavy presentation...

 

And... 24/7 drinking... (God..)

How's your drinking?

Can you walk High street at night?

Can you bring your kebab without police's guarding at night?

This is SKY NEWS' report which aired at today morning.

It's Warrington's Saturday night where A man, who was a husband and father of a family, was died by binge teenagers someday ago.

 

So.. keep your alcohol ability and don't do silly behaviour after drinking....

If you do not want to show your face on the front of national news. ^_^

 

(P.S.) Okay... I can say this situation happens at my country's (South Korea) night street. However, I am not sure my country's night is more violent than the UK.

[P.S.] Comment, will you???

Early Back to home...

Oh... Bloody fog...
My Paris trip is DELAYED by this weather.

Sorry, I was one of 37% (the 17th Republic of Korea Presidential election)

63.0%

63% Korean electors were attended the 17th Republic of Korea (South) Presidential Election.
This figure is much lower than previous Presidential Electrons.


Honestly, Lee Myung-bak was not my favorite candidate but I do not want he would be the president.
However, Lee is the Pre-president of Republic of Korea by 48.7% voting.
My favorite candidate got just 5.8% voting.

However, I am afraid to claim this result because I am one of 37%, who did not vote.
I live in Oxford,England so It's hard to attend election.
I know some Korean, who live in oversea countries, went to South Korea for voting but it needs spending lots of money and time.

Quite sad, this result but Lee is our new president from next middle of Feb.
I just hope my country is going well.

Relative article : The Hankyoreh / Aljazeera English

Lee Myung-bak (might be) The New President of Republic of Korea

KST 18:00 / GMT 09:00
The 17th Republic of Korea Presidential Election is finished and Korean Broadcasting stations announced the exit pool result.

The results are Lee Myung-bak (National Grand Party, Conservative) might be won the election.

These results expect Lee will get 50.3% (KBS&MBC), 51.3% (SBS) or 49.0% (YTN).

YES... It's absolute perfect winning.

Hu... I do not know how do I say this result. Just It's not GOOD for me.

(The final election attendance is 62.8%)

Tonight, I thought my team-mates because I have to fill 'Peer Feedback' about them.

It's true. I am very happy with my team-mates.
Even we've got terrible Poster grade.
We have been doing well this semester. (AM 9, Harcourt Hill)

Also, it's true. they are much better than me.
However, I have to write some weak points of them. (Yes... It's non-sense)

I'm afraid of their reaction of them feedback from me.
I know... my feedback will be terrible or not.

However, do I put all of them in the feedback form?
Yes.. I do not know...

Lost Passion...

I want to ask myself.

Do I have passion of my study now?
Do I have passion of my life now?

Human Communication,
Introduction of Arts Management & Admission,
Human Development & Learning,
Understanding Media,
AND Popular music and film music: Listening Skill.

When I attend these module, I cannot find my passion of my study.
Just.. I heard the lecture passively.

I want to be a active learner.
Really, When I got the Uncondional offer from UCAS.
I decided to be active learner.

However... After 7weeks...
I do not know...

What am I doing?
Am I going well?

Hey! Ji Ho, You are a student!!

On brookes Bus [U1, Harcourt Hill -> Gipsy Lane]

Late arrival...
This incident gives very unhappy accident to me sometimes...

Today, i arrived at harcourt hill about 30 minutes later. [However, it's before the lecture]

Monday breakfast class, Human communication.
Today, i examined our and others' poster with our team members.
Okay... Our one is not bad than others. [I hope so]

The terrible incident happend after then.
I took the quiz.
I believed i might be solve easily.
BUT......

My expection is perfectly wrong.
I wrote the answer on wrong side.
Blanks were more than answers.

Recently, i`ve faced a lot of strange situations.
These things might be effect to my study.
[in addition, i'm toooooooooooo lazy]

Hey... Jiho.
You are an international student.
Your learning process is different from British.
C O N C E N T R A T E ! ! !

Long time No write... (Pu... Sorry..)

Sorry.. I have not written new posts on here.
Because..

1,I am so BUSY ^_____________________^;;;;


Who said the First year is clubbing season!


It's wrong! At the least, for International Students!!!





OK... I might be have very small task (Homework) than you.


However, the difficulty is different between British and a dullness Korean.
I might be spend most of time for doing task. (Really??)

OK.. This is my time table for 2007/08 first semester.

I attend 5 modules. (Wow~~)

In addition, I have two special lecture, which is not listed on timetable (Yes.. It's optional but I interest in), Monday Afternoon and Wednesday Morning.

Bingo! I am a five day attendance student! (Hang on, Was I a five day attendance student at my Korean College?)

Anyway... It's very tough schedule.

2,YES... I am a LAZY...

One of the my favourite TV programme, 'Lazy Town'! (How old am I?)

Hang on? Is it relatied with my lazy life?? (Well... It is not...)

Anyway... Yes. I'm so lazy.

So.. I have used FACEBOOK!!! (Sorry. Google Blogger)

OK... Less Facebooking and More Blogging... I will.

3,Lots of technical problems.

My laptop was broken again so it went to ACER service centre two weeks ago but it will go again because my speaker is not working well (Sound with noise). Oh my god...

In addition, I losted my mobile phone and found nextday (without SIM card so I bought replacement SIMcard)

Wow.. How's the earth moving? I do not know...

Anyway... It's time for sleeping because I have to get up at 6.

The First posting from Morrell K7 | The lack of communication

My Weak 0 at Oxford Brookes past as the speed of light.

I've got a veeeeeeeeery tiny room (Morrell K7C) and four BRITISH room mates who are younger than me (Approximately 8 years... When they were birth, I went Primary school in South Korea.).

I am happy with my house even Living room's TV aerial is tooooooo bad. (Yes... It's a living room.. not bed room. My bed room doesn't have TV aerial point even I'm a subscriber of TV Licence)

Okay, I wrote about my room mates.
As before I wrote, they are four British who are 18 or 19 years old.
The important point of them is they've got the freedom from their parents.

Also, it's the first time they live with a strange Korean Pig...
(Oh, Sorriness my room mates)

This situation made communication problems.
I cannot express my idea to them enough.
However, the more serious problem is I cannot understand what they express.
Okay, the example.. If you can understand other country's teenager's express, your language level is extremely advance. (Isn't it?)

So... I am alone in my house.
I just give scolding or very very old joke (It is not a joke and common expression.) to them.

Yes, it's not their falut. (Really)
It's my fault because my English is not enough to communicate with them.
(Lovely, Jiho's Teletubbies English)

Right than... What is the tomorrow's module?
Answer : Human Communication

Oh My God... (In addition, I should leave here at 7.30 AM!!!!)
I hope to know the key of this problem by this module.

Okay... Let's start Week 1 at Oxford Brookes.

After 797days... (Yes.. I've got the UNconditional offer)

2nd. July. 2005 I came to London, the UK.

...

And... after 797days

I've got this news.

I am an Art management & Media study student

at Oxford Brookes from 17th September.

The End of The World... Again

I seem to forget why I am here - Oxford.

It's the final chance for me. If I fail this course, My life will be NO WAY.

I have finished Final test of Pre-Sessional Course (Oxford Brookes University).

It's absolutely horrible.

I could not understand the lecture for listening exam.

I could not take the reading exam. (Section 3 is absolutely BLANK)

And I wrote one of the horrible essay.

If you ask why you did not take the exam well.

I can say just "Sorry, I did not prepare that"

Yes... It's true.

I do not care this exam. Just I think "OK.. It will be easy"

Why?... I cannot say why I thought...

Yes.. It's perfectly my fault.

Now I serious worry about fail.

If I do not fail, it should be that my assignment result rescues me.

However, The final score is Exam 60% and Assignment 30%. (10% is attention)

It's the last chance.

I should concentrate this course but I do not do that now.

I am not vistior of Oxford.

I should be the student of this university!!!

Sorry for my family, friends and tutors...

I showed very poor + horrible ability to them.

Anyway, today is one of the sad historical day in the UK.

About two years ago, some of London transports were attracted by bomb.

It didn't pass 24 hours when London hold 2012 Olympic.

(Relative site : In Depth London Attacks [BBC NEWS])

After two years, most of people look like to forget this incident.

Okay... After two year, which newses are listed on BBC news web site?

We have enjoyed the 'Live Earth' Concert and thought 'Climate change' with lots of people. Good.

Also, BBC Gaza correspond, Alan Johnston, who was kidnapped by an armed group in Gaza, returned to his house. Good.

Wow.. After two years, our world finds the peace finally, doesn't it?

Hang on minute! What's the headline? 'Iraq market truck bomb kills 105'

Oh my dear... After two years, we see the massacre again?

OK... I want to discuss about this news article with you.
Please read this article before when you read this post.

English Is The Golden Tongue for S. Koreans
SEOUL -- Just a week into his summer vacation, 15-year-old Min-Kyu Kim
already has a tight schedule and ambitious goals: On this particular day, he
intends to memorize 600 words of English vocabulary, solve 10 pages of SSAT math
problems and take practice tests for English. He estimates the tests... more – by Joohee Cho

From Washingtonpost.com (The Washington Post)

1, I met my Korean friend on an Instant Messenger.
Friend: "I do not understand why people study at oversea country"
Me: "Why?"
Friend: "Because I think if someone study more incentive, it's enough in my country"
I did not answer that because I agree with him.


2, Some months ago, my sister couple traveled some European countries and I traveled France and Italy with them.
The one thing that I surprised to them was they communicated better than me in there. Of course, they speak a bit of English and don't speak other languages.
My sister husband said "Simply the best"

3, I serious consider to attend Pre-sessional course from 23rd, July at Oxford Brookes University.
The problem is money. The course fee and housing fee are quiet expensive for me. (About... more than £2500 together)
If I got IELTS overall 6 (with Reading and Writing over 6), I do not need to attend that course. But...

How much have I spended money and time for learning English?
And, how much improve my English?
Why do I learn English in the UK where has lots of incidents?

The answer is Oh My GOD...

(P.S.) I want to share another news article form South Korea. This news article is about a man who has been rejected his UK student visa from embassy of United Kingdom in South Korea. This article is written by Korean and I show the article is translated to English by Google Translate tool.

Secondly, I did not checked my pronouncations. Really, I spoke some wrong pronouncation.

Thirdly, Lots of times, I felt a panic so I did not answered well.

OK... Perfectly... I have taken very very disapointed exam.
How do I do? Yes... it's time for drinking.

New Half Band Scores

From 1 July 2007, we’re making a small but important change which will make
IELTS Band Scores more informative. Scores for each part of the test will still
be reported on the scale from 1 to 9, but now the Writing and Speaking modules
will be reported in whole or half-band in the same way as the Reading and
Listening modules.This will allow Recognising Institutions to specify their
requirements in more detail. > More

Big Brother 8 | Emily Out (Actually, EJECTED)

The Screen shot about Emily profile from BB official site (Channel4)

Do you remember last Celebrity Big Brother 2007?
Maybe... lots of people think this big brother is the worst of every big brother serises.

Photo from Wikipedia

Jo O'Meara, Danielle Lloyd and Jade Goody said RACISM comment and did bullying to Shilpa Shetty.

Their behaviour was international current affair and Channel4 and Ofcom recieved lots of complains. (It was the historical complains record of Ofcom)

Anyway... New Big Brother 8 kicked off again about a weeks ago and today Channel4 and Brighter Pictures (a part of Endemol UK) announced very serious statment.

Emily, who was nominated this friday eviction, suddenly left the house.

"Housemates. On the day that you entered the Big
Brother house, all housemates were reminded of the Big Brother rules. Emily has
broken a fundamental rule of Big Brother and has been removed from the Big
Brother House. The rules regarding unacceptable behaviour clearly state that:
'Big Brother will intervene and take appropriate action if housemates behave in
a way that Big Brother considers is unacceptable. Unacceptable behaviour
includes: Behaving in a way that could cause serious offence to either their
fellow housemates or members of the viewing public including serious offence
based on the grounds of race.' The rules clearly state that: 'Housemates who act
in a way that is seriously unacceptable will be evicted.' Tomorrow's eviction
has been cancelled. Big Brother."

From Channel4 Big Brother Official page

What did Emily do? Accroding to Channel4's statment.

Emily was with Charley and Nicky in the garden of the Big Brother House at
approximately 8.30pm last night when she was heard to say "Are you
pushing it out you nigger?" to Charley.

From Channel4 Big Brother Official page

A broadcasting station's DEAD

A TV station finished broadcasting because they failed renewal their broadcasting licence.

Why they failed? The answer is very simple.
"Their content biases went to anti-government"

So... they were...

On Saturday, May
26, RCTV shut down its live internet stream in preparation for its forced
close-down on Sunday, May 27. At 0400 UTC on May 28 RCTV ceased
broadcasting and for the following 8 seconds the signal went dark. It was then
replaced by TVes's ident which
was on air for 20 minutes. At 0420 UTC TVes began programming for the
first time. DirecTV Venezuela has
substituted RCTV with TVes on 104.[17]

(From Wikipedia "RCTV")

The Farewell broadcasting of RCTV (From YouTube)

The president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez is one of my favourite politician.
His politics idea,bias and manage styles are interested.

However, this incident makes confusing.

The first broadcasting of TVes (From YouTube)

When RCTV closed, new Venezulean TV station started broadcasting on CH 2 which RCTV used.
The new station's name is TVes. It means 'Venezuelan Social Television'.
In other words, A privite broadcasting station changed a government station.

The new public channel, TVES, launched its transmissions early Monday with
artists singing pro-Chavez music, then carried an exercise program and a talk
show, interspersed with government ads proclaiming, "Now Venezuela belongs to
everyone."
(From IHT.com (International Herald Trubine / Original Source
from AP))

Actually, I do not know how RCTV broadcasted.
However, this news is so unhappy news for me who want to work the media industry.

From BBC SPORT http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/6717793.stm

My Comment is just that
"UEFA really dislike Liverpool Supporters."

Yes! It's the man.

Congratulation! BB babes!

Backham is not DIED

Today match showed why Beckham need seriously in England national Football team.

He made lots of good goal chances and assistes.
Finally, one of his assisstes was made a goal by John Terry.

However, the result was 1-1...
I think England could not defence without John Terry.

After Jonh Terry replaced (because Injured), England gave lots of Stupid chances to Brazil and Diego makes a draw goal at 92min.

Also, I am very happy the goal of Brazil. It was very F A N T A S T I C !!!

Who said the international match is so boring?
I am not agree with him or her.

Goodbye my laptop

My laptop, ACER Ferrari 4005 does long trip to Plymouth.

I'm missing my laptop now.
Will it be arrived to Acer service centre?
Also, will it recover its condition?
I'm so scared...

[photo:invoice letter from DHL]

I've got the answer from Laptop Service Centre BUT...

They haven't said about warranty so I wait yet....

How do I do? U..um??

Waiting…

"They will give the answer within today"

I wait, wait and wait for whole daytime but I haven't received the answer.

 

I remembered my UCAS application.

Now, I've got a university's conditional offer but about a month ago, my life was terrible.

I wait 6 universities' respond and have a bit hope which "they will give the offer to me".

But it was NOT.

My life was broken by these six universities (Especially, Sxxxxx and Gxxxxxxxx)

 

My laptop has ill.

Yes… Actually, its condition is not well so I will send this laptop to Technical Service centre.

But… I have serious problems…

It's my warranty programme.

My warranty programme is worked for one year because one factor of application was wrong.

So I have just changed that but its expire date is over.

My laptop company suggested 90days warranty but….

I bought 3 years warranty so it's very unacceptable offer to me.

 

So haven't they given any answer to me because I disagree their offer?

Anyway… I'm very tired but haven't do anything today.

 

How Do I do…?

 

Enjoy Good Friday & celebrate the offer

To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start

Listen,

There is someone here inside
Someone I'd thought had died

I saw this news when I was on the road in London.

I expected if I get the offer, I would screaming.

But, I didn't

Why? Because it's much lower than my first goal?

or conditional? (Reading & Writing 6)

Anyway....

Thank you, Oxford Brookes University.
It's your Easter gift for me.

Escape oversea student

This post relative bottom's post
Jiho's English Blog liveJ: The Depress News from Austarila
--------------

Yesterday, I sent e-mail to my sister about my English tutor fee.

"Eastern-Link, 3rd Intensive, IELTS so.."

Everybody already know its cost is not cheap. (It's terribly Expensive)

When I pressed "Sent" button, My face was wet by my tears.


Second Chance, I don't want to lose this chance.

In other words, I really want to enter some of university which I applied.

However, they have given serious shame to me.

And I consider some universities which has low-name value.

Yesterday, I've got good news from a university.

Accroding to the letter, they interested in my qualifications.
In addition, The English qualification which they need is not much high.

Really, It is fantastic deal of me.
However, Problems are...
First, will they really give Conditional offer to me?
Second, will my family agree that I study there?

I am very scary because I have to say "I cannot enter Sussex" to my family.

In addition, if I say "I will study a university which is not famous in UK"...
Surely, they agree my decision but They will disapoint me.

.........
The escape oversea student is who have studied in an oversea country but they didn't study well there.

Finally, is my name listed on the escape oversea student?

(P.S.) I am very worry the one university's letter which is written they interested my profile.
However, I cannot say the university's name because I worry It can be LIP SERVICE.

I have a terrible memomy about LIP SERVICE from GxxxSxxxx in Lxxxxx.
