Extract: Bacon in Moscow by James Birch
In 1988, James Birch – curator, art dealer, and gallery owner – took Francis Bacon to Moscow. It was, as he writes, "an unimaginable intrusion of Western Culture into the heart of the Soviet system". At a time of powerful political tension and suspicion, but also optimism and opportunity, the process of exhibiting Bacon was riddled with difficulties, careful negotiations, joys and disappointments.

Stephen Smith - From Russia with Lucre
The farmer swings his scythe, the mushroom pickers scour the woods. This Bruegelian scene is completed by the artists Gilbert & George gathering used laughing-gas canisters from the gutters of Whitechapel. I once spent a happy morning with the pair foraging for these clubbers’ castoffs. Gilbert Prousch, who was born in South Tyrol, and his English partner, George Passmore, featured torpedoes of nitrous oxide in a series of works called Scapegoating (2014).

Texas Federal Court Invalidates FTC’s Non-Compete Ban As Unconstitutional | JD Supra
Details A federal judge in Texas has barred enforcement of the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC’s) new regulations, which otherwise would have banned most non-compete agreements.

Extract: Bacon in Moscow by James Birch
In this extract, we find James in 1988 and perestroika is in full bloom: General Secretary Gorbachev appears to be at the height of his popularity and power, and a possible democracy beckons. James sits with one of his story's most important figures: Sergei Klokov, the man on the inside of the iron state who could make things happen, a bridge to the West and all the art it might bring, James’s exhibition fixer fraught with contradiction – but a man necessary to his cause.

Bacon in Moscow by James Birch - review by Charles Darwent
In September 1988, I found myself in the back of a Moscow taxi with a gallery owner from London, now dead. ‘Taxi’, in those days, was a contingent term in the Soviet Union. Ours was a private Lada, the gallerist having done a deal with its driver. He was good at deals. Handsomely coiffed (he had been a hairdresser in a former life), the gallerist was known for spotting early gaps in the market and making money from them. Now he was on the scent of Soviet art.

When Francis Bacon divided opinion in Moscow
Book Review – ‘Bacon in Moscow’ By James Birch, with Michael Hodges By Robin Dutt James Birch is one of the most original and maverick gallerists and curators in the country and very possibly the world. A big claim, perhaps but knowing him for some 35 years or so, and witnessing his shows, displays, performances and ‘happenings’, I am confident that no one will be able to refute this.
Structures of the archaerhodopsin-3 transporter reveal that disordering of internal water networks underpins receptor sensitization
Abstract Many transmembrane receptors have a desensitized state, in which they are unable to respond to external stimuli. The family of microbial rhodopsin proteins includes one such group of receptors, whose inactive or dark-adapted (DA) state is established in the prolonged absence of light. Here, we present high-resolution crystal structures of the ground (light-adapted) and DA states of Archaerhodopsin-3 (AR3), solved to 1.1 Å and 1.3 Å resolution respectively.
Two Lineages of KLRA with Contrasting Transcription Patterns Have Been Conserved at a Single Locus during Ruminant Speciation
Open Access Mark S. Gibson, Alasdair J. Allan, Nicholas D. Sanderson, James Birch, Simon Gubbins, Shirley A. Ellis and John A. Hammond J Immunol May 1, 2020, 204 (9) 2455-2463; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4049/jimmunol.1801363 Key Points Two divergent allele lineages of KLRA have become fixed in the cattle population. The two cattle KLRA allele lineages likely have contrasting functions. Abstract Cattle possess the most diverse repertoire of NK cell receptor genes among all mammals studied to date.

Letter: Challenge to legislators
As the Legislature moves into the new session, I would like to issue a challenge. I feel legislators are missing what is happening every day in our classrooms. The legislators need to understand who the teachers are and understand and share in the successes, challenges, love and dedication exhibited by our teachers. They are extraordinary. The job they do, at best, is extremely difficult. The relationship between legislators and teachers appears to be adversarial.
