Johnny is different. He is never exactly on time, he can't seem to
stick to a routine and he often speaks in cryptic idioms. Johnny is
neurotypical, but that's OK. A picture book with a difference, Why
Johnny Doesn't Flap turns the tables on common depictions of
neurological difference by drolly revealing how people who are not
on the autistic spectrum are perceived by those who are. The
autistic narrator's bafflement at his neurotypical friend's quirks
shows that 'normal' is simply a matter of perspective.

Throughout the twentieth-century artists have responded to the
landscape in emotional, physical and political ways: exploring
themes of belonging to the land by interrogating the relationship
between landscape history and identity, the enclosure or
militarisation of land, to artists creating works that harness or
dramatise natural earth processes. As the custodian of the national
collection of British art, Tate's climate emergency declaration
points to a wider concern and care for the environment that
underpins the themes in Radical Landscapes. Structured on three
broad thematic sections; 'Trespass', 'Landscape and Identity', and
'Climate Breakdown', there will be around 100 works in total
starting from 1900 until today. Focussing on activism and how we
value, care for, use and draw meaning from the natural landscape,
the book will showcase an array of viewpoints reflecting the
diverse perspectives in modern Britain, examining the artists'
relationship to the landscape and social history as a stimulus for
the imagination as much as action and protest. It presents a
radical and outward-facing image of Britain and its diverse peoples
and landscapes to the world. These conversations present a rare
opportunity to reframe Tate's holdings of landscape art as well as
explore how we might commune with nature and collectively work
towards a more sustainable and equitable future. Artists include
Henry Moore, Peter Kennard, Tacita Dean, Ingrid Pollard, Jeremy
Deller, Rose English, Chris Killip, Derek Jarman, Yuri Patterson,
Anthea Hamilton and many more.
