Mediated pain: Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable
The contributions to this book cover the full historical span of modernism, from its emergence in the early twentieth century to its after-shocks in the 1960s. Studies include Futurism's struggle to create an art of noise for the modern age; the radical experiments with poetry; painting and ballet staged in Paris in the early 1920s; the relationship of poetry to painting in the work of a neglected Catalan artist in the 1930s; the importance of architecture to new conceptions of performance in 1960s "Happenings"; and the complex exchange between film, music and sadomasochism that characterises Andy Warhol's "Exploding Plastic Inevitable"

Powerful tides: 400 years of Chatham and the sea
The exhibition Powerful Tides was an important showcase for Chatham Historic Dockyard commissioned to celebrate its four hundred years anniversary. The research for the exhibition was extensive and was carried out by Wainwright to choose artists from the late seventeenth century to the twenty-first century that had a connection to the Thames Estuary and Chatham Historic Dockyard. Wainwrightâs previous exhibition Ship to Shore: Art and the Lure of the Sea enabled her to build on her knowledge of shipping.
The River Medway was initially used as a safe anchorage for Tudor warships from 1547. During the reign of Elizabeth I, a dockyard was established further up the River Medway in the late 1560s to build and repair the âQueenâs Majestyâs Shipsâ. However, the need to expand and improve facilities led to the relocation of the Dockyard to its present site by 1618. The Dockyard expanded to keep up with the demand for ships, changing the surrounding landscape and river forever. Many of the historic works in the exhibition provided a romantic perception in relation to ship construction or their roles at sea. This is contrasted with how the River Medway and the sea are perceived by current artists. Wainwright's relationship with galleries, museums and artists enabled her to loan a number of important paintings, and works of art. Included in the exhibition was work by Christiane Baumgartner, John Constable, Layla Curtis, Tracey Emin, Nadav Kander, Anselm Kiefer, Steffi Klenz, Langlands & Bellâs, Chris Orr, Eric Ravilious, Yinka Shonibare MBE, J.M.W Turner, Norman Wilkinson, Richard Wilson, William Wyllie, and Catherine Yass. Rare manuscripts and maps were loaned from the British Museum
