Marat was murdered by Charlotte Corday – but had aduistunguished career as a Doctor and Scientist. He was caught up in the French Revolution – probably the more influuential of his woirks was Discoveries on fire, electricity and light, published in 1779. There are plenty of potted biogs online – you may be able to find a more ‘revo;utionary’ legacy.

The Wright piece is describing an orrery – a model of the solar system and carried out in his characteristic candle-lit style. A huge contrast of the almost medieval technology with the space age implications of the subject.

Ironbridge at Coalbrookdale was the first arched bridge structure in the world to be made from cast iron. It helped make Abraham Darby famous and fuelled the Industrial revolution – an intersting thing about it is that its construction uses timber technology – it is put together with mortice and tenon joints as if it were wooden. Heaps on line about this. The fact that Darby had come up with a cheap way of producing the material was a significant factor in building the bridge (which is not huge by any standards), but its impact was phenomenal.

The Kandinsky piece is an abstraction of a horseman amotif which has apocolyptic ovetones almost a prophest of the Great War which was to come – the end of an era and the hope for anew beginning.

Two remarkable and ambitious books emerged from this conference: Rejouer le politique (1981) and Le retrait du politique (Retreating the Political, 1997).
