Faking an exhibition of themselves
Article Abstract:
London, England, law firm Collyer-Bristow is staging an exhibition of counterfeit art and consumer goods entitled 'Fake! By Design - The Theft of Intellectual Property.' This includes a number of fake Rembrandt drawings by Eric Hebborn, along with fakes by David Pearce, Sam Fox and Francesca Balestra Dimottolla. The exhibition highlights the fact that investors' desire for authenticity goes against the working methods of many artists, who have been willing to guide a talented student and then claim the resulting work as their own.

A world with a different set of goals
Article Abstract:
It would have been difficult to film a documentary in Everton, London, England, a very poor part of the UK, without having football as a point of entry, according to documentary director Richard Alwyn. His documentary 'Come On England!' focuses on a 12-year-old boy as he follows the progress of the England team in the 1998 World Cup from his home in Everton. Alwyn believes that football allows many people to see themselves in a situation which would otherwise be alien to them.
