About Robert Lenkiewicz
Robert Lenkiewicz (1941–2002) worked within ‘Projects’: large-scale exhibitions of paintings and research notes related to sociological issues. His themes – vagrancy, mental handicap, old age, suicide, death – sought to illuminate the lives of those he called “the invisible people”. In other Projects –- with themes of falling in love, jealousy, orgasm, and obsessive attraction – Lenkiewicz looked at “addictive behaviour” of various kinds.
The main guy in that image, Garth Allen (a real up his own arse wanker if ever there was one,) was one of the main tutors at my University.Long in preparation, Observations on Local Education, his seventeenth Project, emerged in 1988 at the painter's Barbican studio. 92 of the works had been previewed between 19 July - 3 August at Chilford Hall Barns, Linton during the 1987 Cambridge Festival.
Two large volumes of observations written by his sitters, including local teachers and headmasters, schoolchildren, and radical British educationalists such as Dora Russell and Michael Duane, were published. These books, and the drab likenesses of uninspired education professionals, were intended to serve as evidence that British schooling in the 80s had succumbed entirely to an “education for work policy” even as it congratulated itself on having incorporated the best practices of the child-centred learning revolution of the 1960s and 1970s.

I was in Garth's tutorial group for sociology, he was considered a major player in the area. Robert L wanted to "frame him" with his students, though refused to paint me giving him the finger.Sue U wrote:So this was done while you were at University? How did you become involved? Who are all those people and why?

That's funny -- in the late 70s/early 80s I used to share rehearsal space with a girl band whose big song/single was I Need A Henna Rinse.Big RR wrote:Maybe it was a Henna rinse? It was the 70s (80s?) after all.
