Chapter 3

Rachel Reichert and Byron Folwell

James Castle was a self-taught American artist working in mostly found materials until his death in 1977. But his work is enjoying a new lease of life thanks to the repurposing of his former home in Boise, Idaho, as a cultural centre and museum space. Two of the minds driving the project, Rachel Reichert and Byron Folwell, tell us why James Castle’s work is still revealing itself in new ways.

Chapter 4

Tom Oldham

As debates rage over the gentrification of many well-loved neighbourhoods and landmarks in London – one institution has weathered decades of change and done it to a fine soundtrack too: the Palm Tree pub in Mile End. London photographer Tom Oldham and musician Andy Gangadeen have been capturing some of the sights seen at the pub for their new project ‘Last of The Crooners’ – an audio and visual vinyl album featuring the musicians that perform there.
