y lauded RHA show to the Mapfre Institute in Madrid. It runs from September 12 to January 26, 2020. CalleBárbara de Braganza, 13 CASSANDRA VOICES PIANO MEN Cassandra Voices’ stated mission is to: “maintain a wide-ranging focus… firmly reject over-specialisation and insularity… (recognise) the value of graphic identity and photographic integrity.” And they’ve done a mighty fine job in holding to these lofty ideals with the second edition of the publication, helmed by Frank Armstrong. Its cover features renowned filmmaker Bob Quinn in the company of the late Colonel Ghaddifi and an essay on the time they met. Elsewhere, there’s an insightful reflection on the needs of homeless in temporary accommodation by Frank O’Boyle and meditations on climate change, fashion, consumption and burnout along with poetry and photo essay. With philosophical underpinnings, Cassandra Voices makes for an erudite take on the topics of our times. cassandravoices.com Specialising in rebirthing vintage pianos, Fox and Wolfe is a boutique piano workshop based in Templeogue, Dublin. Piano technicians by trade, artists by vocation, they grew weary of staring at black lacquer in peoples homes. “We believe that the only thing ‘bright’ about a piano should be its colour… Our pianos sound dark, lush, rich, and moody. Pianos should never sound shrill, harsh or tinny like so many modern uprights. The journey to this sound begins with the selection process,” states Jamie Fox, one of the co-founders.
