@BBCFrontRow “the first work of video art to be shown in a cathedral in the UK” - on Bill Viola at St Paul’s, 2014. 19.45 16-07-24. No: Bill Viola, but back in 1996, in Durham Cathedral.

@willjennings80 @cacgeneve Thank you! A long time since been to CAC.

[Dr Alistair Robinson @AlistaRobinson]

@MaddyPelling Wow! Look forward to seeing this…

[Dr Alistair Robinson @AlistaRobinson]

@ProfThomasDixon It’s brilliant, and has potential to be extremely useful for our Curating Art MA students working with historical art objects…

[Dr Alistair Robinson @AlistaRobinson]

@MarcDavenant Look forward to hearing where!

[Dr Alistair Robinson @AlistaRobinson]

@Lewis__Bush I showed the amazing While Darwin Sleeps’ in a public gallery, and right now have an old viewing copy on my desk, which was in preparation of talking to your dad about reshowing it. Terrible news. I’m sorry for your loss.

@BallBecca @ace_thenorth Great news, Rebecca - congratulations!

[Dr Alistair Robinson @AlistaRobinson]

@johnypitts Do you mean non-professional photography…? Interested to hear more!

[Dr Alistair Robinson @AlistaRobinson]

@querantino Hi Roman - just in case I got the wrong account, grateful if you can email or DM to discuss a future project! Best wishes - Dr Alistair Robinson

@willjennings80 @tomdyckhoff It’s closed! Until next year at least…

@TathamJoanne Hi Joanne - could contrast ‘official’ interviews https://t.co/eADDhJyIuL with ‘classics’ https://t.co/Cxfwz8dFAd and HUO’s ask-the-same-questions https://t.co/VkJdahtjTj

@bethanyrex @MillenniumLib Enjoy the peace and intellectual stimulus!

@dieworkwear Can you confirm - is pic 3 the great Nigel Cabourn, UK designer, based in (of all places) Newcastle?

[Dr Alistair Robinson @AlistaRobinson]

@acambridgediary Lived there. Plumbers have trouble on that street. May be misremembering but I recall some plumbers dug up pipe work in the basement one summer and found 30 skeletons! Were from a Roman burial ground and all 1700+ years old…

[Dr Alistair Robinson @AlistaRobinson]

@oftennick This does look quite something! Look forward to seeing more…

[Dr Alistair Robinson @AlistaRobinson]

@James_A_Craig1 @KTLloydT @TalbotRichardA @HolmLorens @declanlong Congratulations!

@lordsalisbury5 @fesshole Trivia hour- John Cleese: “His family's surname was originally Cheese, but his father had thought it was embarrassing and used the name Cleese when he enlisted in the Army during the First World War; he changed it officially by deed poll in 1923.”

[Dr Alistair Robinson @AlistaRobinson]

@tomdyckhoff @BBCRadio4 Also, surely HUO was his biggest champion outside the field - calling him “one of the most important figures in all disciplines in the 20c” - https://t.co/WbwepVvRnY

@willjennings80 Strangeways here we come - with suitably grey skies - can I ask where the glazed courtyard is? Have lived there but never saw it, so guessing recent. Thanks!
