The Museum of Miniature Found Objects is delighted to announce the opening of the new Pooter Wing. The international architectural design competition saw many fascinating explorations of environments in which to exhibit the collection for the new wing. There were thought-provoking entries from internationally renowned architectural practices such as Benn + Partners Architects and Studio Daniel Libeskind, through to small one-man bands, all creating exciting culturally enmeshed spaces rich in synchronicity. The Board of the Museum found it a challenging decision to make, but felt the ideas from a small north London studio practice, E. Edge Builders ('No Job Too Small'), met the museum's vision for the future.

This image is from the work of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, taken circa 1880 in Whitby. The subject of his study is unnamed. Sutcliffe was a photographer who earned his living in Whitby at the end of the nineteenth century as a portrait photographer, though his real interest appears to have been documenting the lives of the fishing community in the town. This photograph combines the nineteenth century's romanticisation of rusticity with notions of beauty from classical antiquity. Sutcliffe has photographed the young fishwife at her work in an arabesque pose (with all its references to classical Greek sculpture), isolating her from her fellow workers who appear blurred and distanced. It's a satisfying image to look at.

A stroll on the beach at Robin Hood's Bay on the north Yorkshire coast when the tide was out gave this view. And up the coast at Whitby the town hall clock raced ahead of St Mary's parish church on the cliff above, with the hour chiming in the town a good six minutes ahead of the church's up above. Another curiosity of Whitby — wherever you go in the town the smell of fish and chips wafts through the air.

This is one of the ugliest things on show this week in the shop windows on the Kingsland Road in Dalston. A glass AK-47 submachine gun for a bottle, handsomely presented in a wooden army crate, with bullets for the shot glasses. Just the thing for under the Christmas tree.
