Gormley sculptures are a massive coup for DLWP

WHATEVER your opinion on modern art, the up-and-coming Critical Mass installation at the De La Warr Pavilion promises to be a spectacular sight.

Sculptor Anthony Gormley is the latest artist to be inspired by the iconic Modernist building, widely held to be one of the finest examples of such architecture in the world.

Gormley's installation of 60 life-sized cast iron body shapes should generate interest in Bexhill on both a national and international level.

Like the sculptor's most famous work, the Angel of the North, Critical Mass is set to be quite a draw for art lovers and the curious alike.

This installation is a massive coup for the De La Warr Pavilion and in turn for Bexhill, which can only be reflected positively in the interest such a project will generate.

Timing of ash cloud hit schools the hardest

ANY Bexhillian planning to jet off to sunnier climes must be breathing a partial sigh of relief now as the blanket ban on flights in the UK has been lifted.

Having said that, the backlog caused by the ash in the atmosphere from the volcanic eruption in Iceland could take a while to clear.

Bexhill High principal Mike Conn was very lucky to land at Heathrow just before the eruption took place - but other teachers from the town were not so fortunate.

The schools have perhaps been hardest hit because the ash cloud went up during the Easter holidays - a time when education staff are very likely to take a holiday abroad.

But thanks to the wonders of the Internet, the disruption, though bad, could have been worse as St Richard's showed with stranded teachers taking advantage of the World Wide Web to plan lessons to minimise the effect on their pupils' education.
