The Angels & Ghosts Gallery will be setting up a Storm Thorgerson expo from June 22nd, 2012, until September 1st, 2012, at Fort Napoleon in Ostend, Belgium.

BD visitor Vince Delhaye, who kindly told us about this upcoming exhibition, tells us that Fort Napoleon is a super location to show the works of a graphic design icon. It's a huge fortress hidden in the Ostend dunes. They're working on a website specifically for the show, but in the meantime, any information and links are available through angels-ghosts.com.

The work of Gerald Scarfe, the world-famous British icon of social and political caricature - and collaborator with Pink Floyd for various 1970s projects most notably The Wall, and Roger's Pros and Cons - has received its Czech premiere at the Egon Schiele Art Centrum in Český Krumlov. The exhibition of more than 100 large-format drawings and watercolours is now open (it opened on April 6th), and includes:

• political and social commentary and caricatures of British and world politicians, the Royal Family, but also Czechoslovak politicians from 1969
• cartoons of showbusiness personalities (Woody Allen, Mick Jagger, Madonna...)
• set and costume design for the English National Opera (Orpheus in the Underworld)
• album artwork for the Pink Floyd album The Wall - and the exhibition poster shows The Teacher (looking a little more like Scarfe than we've seen previously) to hint at the contents of the show
• designs for the Walt Disney film Hercules (Scarfe was the first outside designer to work with the studio since Salvador Dalí!)
• creation of the title sequence for the Yes Minister series which appeared on BBC television

The exhibition is open daily between 10am and 6pm, and is scheduled to run until October 28th, 2012. Our thanks to Martin Smisek for the information about this exhibition.

Tribute band Brit Floyd, who are starting the UK leg of their A Foot In The Door world tour next month, are working with creative mental health charity Squeaky Gate to help promote and raise money for them at all of its future shows. To help launch the new relationship a collective of Squeaky Gate musicians will join Brit Floyd live on stage in London, Birmingham and Cambridge to perform a selection of Syd Barrett songs, especially prepared for the shows.

The Squeaky Gate charity is supported by Rosemary Breen, the sister of Pink Floyd co-founding member Syd Barrett, and uses the transformational effects of music to help people who have mental health issues. Rosemary said, "I have been a trustee and actively involved with Squeaky Gate since its inception. It offers life changing opportunities for people with both mental health issues and those at risk of social or economic exclusion. Syd would have loved the original and sometimes experimental ways in which Squeaky Gate offers a safe haven, where it is possible to explore creativity through music and performance. The opportunity for the Squeaky Gate musicians to perform Syd's songs live, with Brit Floyd, is fantastic!"

Damian Darlington, Brit Floyd's musical director, said, "Without Syd there would have been no Pink Floyd. His impact both musically and inspirationally cannot be overstated. Our association with Squeaky Gate and its objectives are really exciting. We all want to help in whatever way we can to raise awareness and support fundraising."

Coming soon to Staffordshire, England, is a contemporary re-imagining of Pink Floyd's The Wall. It is being staged at Tamworth Assembly Rooms in June by Arts Connects and Fired Up Theatre, by kind permission of Roger Waters and his management. The performance will use Pink Floyd's classic music, with a new narrative brought bang up to date by Simon Quinn of Fired Up Theatre.

The aim of the project is to bring together and involve people from all ages and communities across Tamworth and will involve groups of people who would not normally work together. The performances will include the tribute band Floydian Slip alongside the various performers.

The show can be seen on June 5th through to June 8th, at 7:30pm each evening. Tickets are now available, and more details can be seen on the adjacent event poster, to the left.
