Geoff Westland 1940-2013

‘It is with great regret that we have to report the death of Geoff Westland, proprietor of Westland London, and erstwhile neighbour of LASSCO at St MIchael’s in Shoreditch, and joint owner of the premises, for over thirty years.

Geoff was a stalwart of the Antiques Trade and, arguably during his lifetime, the most prominent dealer in Architectural Antiques world-wide. His style was grand and magnificent as befitted the monumental building from which he operated.

He brought to his calling meticulous attention to detail, a grand vision of how his stock should be displayed, academic expertise and research second to none – and a managerial command of his business of the highest order.

It was an, occasionally daunting, pleasure doing business with him – but, as with many ‘big men’ he had an unsurpassed appetite for life. He was a delight socially and his fund of stories about the Trade would keep his companions enthralled.

He has been described as a déclassé Duveen of the late 20th century; from a modest background, he was entirely self-taught, an accomplished linguist, with an unerring eye for his particular style, the very model of the driven dealer.

He built a major, and unique, London institution from scratch, and it is to be hoped that it will continue to trade in the manner he established for many years to come as he wished.

Gal, Deedee, Aitch and Jackie, having left behind respective lives of ill-repute, bask in the sun of Spain and in the most essential brand of leisure.

The Voice was launched by Ed Fancher, Dan Wolf, John Wilcock, and Norman Mailer on October 26, 1955 from a two-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village, which was its initial coverage area, expanding to other parts of the city by the 1960s. The offices in the 1960s were located at Sheridan Square; they are now at Cooper Square in the East Village.

The Voice has published groundbreaking investigations of New York City politics, as well as reporting on local and national politics, with arts, culture, music, dance, film, and theater reviews. The Voice has received three Pulitzer Prizes, in 1981 (Teresa Carpenter), 1986 (Jules Feiffer) and 2000 (Mark Schoofs). Almost since its inception the paper has recognized alternative theater in New York through its Obie Awards. The paper's "Pazz & Jop" music poll, started by Robert Christgau in the early 1970s, continues to this day and remains a highly influential survey of the nation's music critics. In 1999, film critic J. Hoberman and film section editor Dennis Lim began a similar Village Voice Film Poll for the year's movies.

It was designed by architect Julia Morgan between 1919 and 1947[3] for newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, who died in 1951. In 1957, the Hearst Corporation donated the property to the state of California.

Since that time it has been maintained as a state historic park where the estate, and its considerable collection of art and antiques, is open for public tours. Despite its location far from any urban center, the site attracts about one million visitors per year.

Matthew Bourne’s SLEEPING BEAUTY sees the choreographer return to the music of Tchaikovsky to complete the trio of the composer’s ballet masterworks that started in 1992 with Nutcracker! and, most famously, in 1995, with the international hit Swan Lake.

Perrault’s timeless fairy tale, about a young girl cursed to sleep for one hundred years, was turned into a legendary ballet by Tchaikovsky and choreographer, Marius Petipa, in 1890.

Bourne takes this date as his starting point, setting the Chr

To correspond with Sundance London’s location at The O2 in Greenwich, the home of Greenwich Mean Time, entries for the 2013 Short film Competition focused on the concept of time: ‘The Time is Now; a story that is about being immediate and in the moment.’ Submissions between three and five minutes in length were accepted.

The winning entry was selected by two juries either side of the Atlantic. The first, included Kate Kinninmont, Women in Film and Television; Chris Collins, BFI Film Fund; Freddie Gaffney, Ravensbourne; Dave Calhoun, Time Out and director / screenwriter Kat Lo. The second panel organized by Sundance Institute included: John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival; Trevor Groth, Director of Programming for the Sundance Film Festival; filmmakers Francesca Gregorini and Roger Ross Williams

“The other jurors and I were delighted to find in Best a succinct yet moving story that so cleverly exemplifies the tagline ‘The Time is Now.’ Terrifically framed images as well as stellar performances bring to life a story that impressively manages to be tender, raw, visceral and heartbreaking in under five minutes.”

- Trevor Groth, Sundance Film Festival Director of Programming and jury member
