Obituary: Joan Brossa
Joan Brossa, who has died aged 79 following a fall in his studio, was one of this century's leading Catalan artists, poets and creators of works for the theatre. International recognition came late: he held only one exhibition here, at London's Riverside Studios, in 1993. I became aware of Brossa's work in 1986, when the first large exhibition of his 'object-poems', his small amalgamations and deformations of ordinary objects, images and words, was held at the Miro Foundation in Barcelona. This was a pivotal show for Brossa, bringing him to a wide public, and paving the way for his major exhibition at the Reina Sofia in Madrid in 1991. Brossa represented Spain in the last Venice Biennale, in 1997. The tone of Brossa's work is aphoristic, elliptical and ironical. "My objects reach out for analogy and visual metaphor," he said, "So that if words are things, with the language of things one can also create metaphors." Such as: two fallen plane tree leaves held together by a paper … [Read more...] about Obituary: Joan Brossa

Games Inbox: Phil Spencer and Starfield, Silent Hill console exclusivity, and Hot Topic part 3
The Monday letters page wonders if EA’s remake after Dead Space could be Titanfall 2, as a reader hopes for a Fallen Order/Obi-Wan crossover. To join in with the discussions yourself email [email protected] Eight years later Starfield’s delay , especially given Bethesda’s dubious reputation when it comes to bugs and glitches. I was very much looking forward to the game, but I can’t help recall a number of previous comments voicing concerns about Microsoft’s management of its now massive stable of developers. As others have pointed out, Perfect Dark seems to be a disaster before we’ve heard anything official about it and Halo Infinite somehow has a worse reputation after launch than before, which is not the usual direction these things go. At the moment Microsoft have no games scheduled for this year and while that might change in June, I’m not sure I’d bet on it being anything other than another Forza.

Hydrogen-powered trains could be carrying UK passengers by 2023
New hydrogen-powered trains are being trialled on British rail lines for the first time, and the Government has said they could be carrying passengers by 2023. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps was aboard a low-carbon HydroFLEX train for its inaugural journey on Tuesday, along lines between Long Marston, in Warwickshire and Evesham. It is hoped the new technology will allow ministers to start retrofitting old diesel trains from 2023 to make them more eco-friendly and decarbonise non-electrified lines. Alongside the new train trials, the Government also unveiled a host of other hydrogen projects, including funding for 19 hydrogen-powered refuse trucks in Glasgow as well as for research into cleaner mass hydrogen production. In an exclusive oped for the Telegraph , Mr Shapps said Britain’s role in developing clean hydrogen technologies could help put it at the forefront of new industrial ‘green revolution’.
