Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to examine Ryan McGinley’s early photographs and Polaroids—raw, visceral portraits of his coterie of friends and artists in downtown New York City. Published to accompany an exhibition at Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, Ryan McGinley: The Kids Were Alright focuses on the photographer’s early work from 1998 to 2003, the year of his solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. These early photographs and Polaroids—many of which have never been exhibited or published— document his friends and collaborators in downtown New York City. In the process, McGinley created a powerful portrait of his generation and their often debauched lifestyle: gritty, daring, and focused on moments of both pleasure and tedium. McGinley’s singular ability to capture the mood and emotional depth of a moment is evident even from the earliest years of his career. Curator Nora Burnett Abrams offers the most comprehensive consideration to date of this important work in her essay, and other contributions— including an interview with McGinley and artist Dan Colen and several short reminiscences from many of his subjects and social circle at the time— will provide context and commentary on the more than 100 works in the volume.

Download or read book Whistle in the Wind written by Peter Duffy and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a shocking indictment of NHS standards, cover-ups and legal dirty tricks, Peter Duffy, consultant surgeon writes of his 35 years of experience on the front-line of the NHS. Charting his career pathway from auxiliary nurse and unskilled operating theatre orderly, he takes us through his progress to senior consultant surgeon and head of department. In 2015, and after blowing the whistle on a series of near misses, he reluctantly reported an avoidable death, cover-up and ongoing surgical risk-taking to the Care Quality Commission. Within months he was out of work and unemployed. Via avoidable deaths and errors, cover-ups, misuse of public funds, bullying, abuse and victimisation the author charts out in searing detail his demotion, punishments and exile from both family and NHS and the subsequent brutal legal process that followed his illegal dismissal. "Peter's love for his family and for what he does as a surgeon runs through the pages of this gripping book as he takes you on a journey to some of the darker areas of our NHS and legal system. As a society we need to face up to the appalling reality of what the NHS does to staff that speak up and how much public money it wastes fighting people that act in the public interest. Even a committed, award winning surgeon who transformed cancer services was not immune from attempts by the NHS to destroy him when he decided to stand up for patients and services. This is everyone's problem." Dr Chris Day, junior doctor and whistle-blower. "As a fellow whistleblower in the same NHS Trust I recommend that everybody should read Peter's account. This is an incredibly important and unmissable portrayal of how toxic NHS management culture is harming patients and destroying the careers and lives of dedicated healthcare professionals. His bravery, dedication to his patients and commitment to exposing the truth is commendable. Read his book to learn the truth as to what is happening every day in NHS Trusts across the UK."Sue Allison, Morecambe Bay whistle-blower. "Peter's book has opened our eyes to a series of injustices that has not only destroyed his family life but revealed appalling wrong doings within the NHS. Our father was sadly a victim in a dysfunctional urological surgery department, where Peter was trying to make a difference against the odds. Our sincerest gratitude goes to a person who has tirelessly fought with passion, dignity and sheer determination against an organisation that wish to silence the honesty of a whistle-blower. "Karen and Nicola Read, daughters of 'Patient A'

Book Whistle Down the Wind  a Modern Fable

Download or read book Whistle Down the Wind a Modern Fable written by Mary Hayley Bell and published by . This book was released on 2024-03-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I am ten, and they call me Brat. "Of course that isn't my right name, nobody could be christened with a name like that. "All our lousy first names are birds' names. Don't ask me why. I imagine our mother was keen on birds and flying, though I don't know much about her. She flew off some years ago with this character called Peregrine. She lives in South Africa, on a different kind of farm, and once awhile we get a Christmas card--which is quite useful, as we keep the stamp" So begins the story of Brat (officially Brambling), her twelve-year-old sister Swallow (who acted as mother for the crew), her cigarette-smoking seven-year-old brother, Poor Baby (christened Merlin), and the extraordinary secret they vowed to keep. The three lived on as farm in England with their father and their special friend, a Pekingese called Bette Davis. The adventure began one day when a strange, terribly ill man knocked at the manger door and was admitted by Swallow. She asked him his name and heard him say "Jesus" soon after he entered. Besides, he had used a Biblical quotation and, most important, he had nail holes through both his feet. That was the way children first knew that Jesus had returned to earth and had come to their farm for shelter. It was up to them to nurse him back to health so that he could receive the shepherds and wise men would be coming to see him. They knew, too, that they would have to keep the Big Secret to themselves. Experience had taught them that grownups could not be trusted with such vital information. Anyway, the grownups were all stirred up about some strange man already. There is a mythical quality in the story of three children who banded together to protect the man they believed was Christ returned to earth, Yet, with slangy, down-to-earth Brat as narrator, this modern fable is more sprightly than sentimental, more provocative than pious. Mary Hayley Bell has written a strikingly original novel, filled with a kind of tenderness and charm all too rare in today's fiction.
