Every night at there is a queue of expectant visitors winding through the Theatre gallery in Uppsala. This queue will both symbolically and physically move past the leading actress in both of the films by Agnieszka Kalinowska. In her two-piece filminstallation the same woman wanders to and fro outside Mhat-theatre and Dubrovka-theatre in Moscow. She is all dressed up in a yellow dress and wears high-heels, despite the cold she is lightly clad.
Agnieszka Kalinowska plays the leading role in most of her filminstallations, likewise here. She is on both sides of the camera, both actress and director. It is a strategy that many female artists have used when they wanted to take back the male gaze, to seize power over depiction. Agnieszka Kalinowska doesn´t either want to expose others to what it means to be the model, the vulnerable.
Time is painfully slow. Her waiting never ends, there is nor a beginning, neither an end of the increasingly more desperate movements of the woman. The slowness spreads into the exhibition – may a film be almost as still as a painting? Speed is the mantra of today.
The woman radiate mysteriousness. At the same time she seems both absent, subdued and uncomfortable in her situation.
In the play "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Becket, waiting and long silences may symbolize that life is meaningless. We are waiting for something that will never appear. It is not a story with introduction, recharging and unravelling, more of a metaphor for life. In the work of Agnieszka Kalinowska the womans waiting can also be seen as existential, but in her work there is also a political explosive force.
People are moving in and out of the doors of Mhat-theatre, inside it is shining of warmth and of red. The China-inspired music is enticing. The doors are opened and closed over and over again. The visitors to the theatre are warmly dressed. An older woman stops and stares at the woman, otherwise most people hurries past. She is standing alone and is fairly still compared to the eternal flow of movements and people.
Outside the other theatre-door she is more alone. The door and the parts of the architecture is bright as steel. It is bitterly cold and she is still wandering back and forth. It is a picture of the Dubrovka-theatre, but could be any place, since this kind of architecture is common in many public buildings in Russia. There is not going to be a show here tonight. She waits in vain. The theatre has been closed since the terror-attack and the area is always under the supervision of the police.
It was on a Wednesday evening in October 2002, an evening like the one in Agnieszka Kalinowskas film that 42 terrorists rushed at the theatre in the middle of a performance and ockupied it. Both actors and audience were taken hostages. Around 850 people were detained during several days and nights. The Tjetjenian terrorists demanded that the Russian army should retreat from Tjetjenia.
At the liberation almost 200 people died. Most died from the deadly poisonous gas that the Security service sprinkled the theatre with. They said that otherwise the terrorists would have blown everybody up. Many of the rebels were women. "They are young, beautiful women and pasive victims of the war in Tjetjenia. They are suicide-bombers. First time they appeared were in 2000, when the 17 year old Haca Barajeva drove a truck full of dynamite into a Russian military outpost. Since then female terrorists have performed many crimes in Russia." (...) They are "in veil, dressed in black and with a dynamite-belt around their waist", journalist Michael Winiarski wrote in Svenska Dagbladet in April 2005.
"Many of the terrorists from the earliest period have been women, it concerns Russia, Britain as well as Germany. To become a terrorist was one of few ´occupations´ that was open for a woman during 1900th Century Russia. " writes Per-Arne Bodin, author and journalist in Slavist languages, in an article. "There were many thoughts in early literature that posed the question on what terror-crimes did to a woman; did she become more male or was taking part in public violence contributing to that the feminine in that way transformed into something sublime feminine? There was a fascination over the fact that a woman could commit such cunning violent crimes.".
He also focuses on the book on terrorism of Alex Houen, professor in British literature. Terrorism points at the theatrical and the spectacular in terrorism, he writes. "A murder does not become a terror-crime - until it becomes public, when it is experienced like one by the theatre-audience of the street or when it is massmedialized.".
If the installation is existential in it´s subject and poetic in it´s language, there is also an evasive feeling of uncertainty, of that something unpleasantly can take place any time, one can not know ones enemy. Tempo is slow, time essential. Kalinowskas work is about everyday and terror, about life and death.

Agnieszka Kalinowska arbetar med video, skulptur, måleri och installationer. I sina filmer medverkar hon ofta själv, som om hon vill pröva situationerna. Hennes skulpturer blir som ögonblicksbilder ur en film.
"Alla mina projekt består i huvudsak av att observera mänskligt beteende i extrema situationer. Jag försöker frysa dessa ofta väldigt korta ögonblick av extraordinär fysisk och mental spänning." Beslut vi tar under sådan press har inte bara inverkan på vår närmaste framtid, utan kan påverka resten av våra liv. Under dessa korta ögonblick kan vi mobilisera hela vår kapacitet och släppa lös all den energi vi inte ens kunde drömma om att vi har. Rädsla och ambitioner kan förvandla oss till en helt annan människa för en stund.", skriver Agnieszka Kalinowska.

You are visitor number 41939

Lacey Green is a thriving village, closely associated with the other hilltop villages of Loosley Row, Speen, and the hamlets of Parslows Hillock, Highwood Bottom, Turnip End, Coombs and Flowers Bottom.
For present day residents, it is a good place to live, a bit expensive, but with a fantastic school, and within commuter range of London. There are many clubs and societies, a wonderful environment and friendly residents, so what more could you want?
But it wasn't always like this. Life without gas and electricity; when the soil was heavy clay; when there was only natural water and the area was really only useful for growing trees and hunting game with a few small areas cleared for arable crops, is hard to imagine today.
Lacey Green and Loosley Row both developed from small hamlets. The way in which they developed was driven by a few visionary people, and they should not be forgotten.
So why have a Local History website?
In the last 50 years the population has expanded dramatically, but some village families are still here, and they have a tale to tell.
If you have an enquiring mind, have bought an old house or just love mysteries, there's a start. Three friends originally, now six, the members of the Village History Group - have long dreamed of preserving what is known of the history of Lacey Green and Loosley Row, before the old ways are completely forgotten.
They have been working on different aspects of this for a long time keeping in touch and sharing information, but not publishing their knowledge. Then came the Internet, so now here it is with absolutely no cost to the world for access!
A picture with many gaps is being painted. If you have information to add or can make corrections we would like to here from you!
Mail: History
The aim in 2009 was that there has to be something that will interest you from the following areas we have (see Index in left column) or propose to write about:
the first houses, field boundaries and roads, to include Grym's Dyke, Crown land, Black Prince, Elizabeth 1, Stud farm, Stocken Farm, Enclosures, Church and Oxford College ownership.
Village Planning
Woods, ponds, roads, fields (Parish Poors) History of the older houses e.g. Stocken Farm, Malmsmead. Speen Farm, Lane Farm. Park Cottage etc.
Village Families
Those who most greatly influenced the development of the area (the movers and shakers), census returns, family trees, birth, death, illness, family events
Ghosts & witches, Aspirin (Stone family), Forrests
Brick making, lace making, shoe making, light industry, tennis court, farming, timber, chimney sweep, building, undertaking and laying out etc.
Shops and Pubs
Post offices, bakery, windmill
Water, mains drainage, electricity, transport (bus, train, taxis).
Anglican, Methodist, Baptist.
Notes from Millenium Reunion.
War-times
The hope is that anyone interested in the history of our villages will enjoy reading about the subjects in which we have taken an interest. We have been adding these articles since the beginning of 2009.
Questions we are having difficulty in answering are:
How did Lacey Green and Loosley Row get their names?
What was the purpose of the Grim's Ditch?
Historical Research !
The availability of historical facts depends on how far you go back. Its also a question of access to and the accuracy of the information avalable.
There was a time when nothing was written down.
Then it became limited to a few scholars and spelling became an issue. The people relating a story most likely couldn't write and spelling was based on 'sounds like'. Language also changes over time.
Not to mention the so called 'Chinese whispers' where "Send reinforcements we are going to advance" becomes "send three and fourpence we are gong to a dance" when told and retold.
During the reformation when Henry VIII had it in for catholics, what bias might they have applied to any gossip eminating from Royal circles.
Facts can be in short supply. In 2021 researchers believed they had discovered evidence that Richard III (recently found burried under a car park) might not be responsible for killing the 'Twins in the Tower'. The bodies were never found and the researchers believe they have evidence that one of them at least was sent to live in a Devon village under an assumed name. ? ? ?
Older history therefore is sometimes based on probability and inference, but then, the original Magna Carta still exists.
Records now are much more accurate but nothing is completely reliable, but we hope, more probable.
Writer Profiles
We now have five writers and researchers:
Joan has recently retired from being the farmers wife at Stocken Farm.
In 1971, while stripping out the 17th century farmhouse, she began to wonder exactly when it was built. She has yet to find the answer, but in tracing it back through owners and tenants, she became interested in the village families. Studying the school log books lead to publication of her book: "A Chiltern Village School". (download)
Witnessing the decline of old village families and often seeing critical information relating to the villages destroyed on bonfires, made her spring into action. She began to collect and make copies of photographs and deeds. She is grateful for the generosity of those she approached for the loan of these important pieces of history.
Local history became a hobby, which could easily become an obsession, but she says she just doesn't have the time!
Rosemary Mortham (nee Oliver) was born in High Wycombe, and moved to the village at the age of six, soon after the second World War. She attended St. John's School, and now feels almost like a local.
She has long been interested in village history, especially the history of the church the school and bobbin lacemaking. She was concerned that there was no record of how the village used to be. She had heard many stories from old village folk, and realised that her fellow writers had a wealth of knowledge which could easily be lost.
When it was suggested that all this information could be put onto a village website, Rosemary saw the opportunity to encourage and cajole the three village historians to finally write up at least some of what they know. She is now an informal secretary to the group.
Rosemary looks forward to seeing the results of their many years of research, and feels sure that others will also enjoy reading it.
Rita was born in Ealing, West London and moved to Buckinghamshire with her parents in 1956. They were jokingly told then that 50 years would have to expire before being accepted as 'locals': that 'apprenticeship' has now been served!
From schooldays in London, Rita always had a very keen interest in history, which eventually progressed to genealogy. With more spare time on retirement after 25 years as secretary for the Thames Valley Police at Aylesbury, family history became almost a full-time occupation.
Since being invited to join the Lacey Green History Group, this has been further extended to include local history.
Rita enjoys living in Buckinghamshire, the countryside in general and is also a member of the local walking club.
Laurence was born in Sittingbourne in Kent before the 2nd World War and as a boy he watched the Battle of Britain, raiding German Bombers, local Anti-Aircraft guns, Doodle Bugs and the preparations for D Day. A somewhat unusual background to his early days.
Linda and Laurence were married in 1968 and their first house was in Loosley Row but in 1975 they moved to Lacey Green and they have lived there ever since.
In spite of significant overseas business travel Laurence found time to be the local Cub football coach, part time chairman of the Village Design Statement Committee and Chairman of the Village Residents Association.
In 2013 he started to work part time and as a reaction to various questions he decided to write a document on his memories of the 2nd World War and this started his interest in local history. He retired completely in 2017 so he then had even more time to attend a course on Local History at Oxford University, join the Village History Group, the Bucks Archaeology Society, Bucks History Association and research and write several new documents and articles.
Keith and his wife Elizabeth were both born and raised and lived in Ealing. For many years both were very involved in Amateur Dramatics, Drama Workshops and the theatre in general. During this time Keith also wrote stage plays, some of which were performed in local theatres. They have also lived in Surrey and for many years in Chalfont St. Peter, before moving to Lacey Green in 2017 where Keith became a Parish Councillor in 2021.
He has always been interested in local history, industrial/social history and history in general, especially military and historic aviation history. His interest in the RAF and historic aviation led him to writing two published novels, writing under the name of C. S. Peters.
These novels: On a Wing and a Prayer and Ever Present Danger, involved several years of research including many recorded interviews. These interviews were with individuals such as: former RAF aircrew and groundcrew; former members of the French and Belgian Resistance; former members of the SOE; Evacuees; former members of the Fire Brigade in London during the Blitz.
Born Lincolnshire 1946, raised Yorkshire. Worked in London from 1968 where he met Yvonne and they married in 1971. Two sons followed. In the early 80's the kids were given an 'Acorn BBC Micro Model B' part of the BBC's computer literacy project - Leigh became literate - these were the days when you went and made a cuppa while an App loaded.
He went on to write training programmes for the Met Police, where students learnt a subject by sitting at a computer. He earned an MSc in Interactive Systems Analysis which, he says, usually stops the conversation.
Retired first time in 1996 and he and Yvonne went to live in USA. Returned after 5 years, just couldn't live with US culture.
Got a College job in Kent teaching teenagers, retired again in 2006. Came to this area looking for a house near/between the kids. Settled in Lacey Green having got fed up of looking.
Joined in village activities. Helps maintain Lacey Green website and uploads all the History researched by the group.
Past Contributors sadly no longer with us.
Douglas Tilbury
Douglas Tilbury was born in 1934 at No.1 Hillock Cottages, Lily Bottom Lane.
He started school at St. John's, Lacey Green in 1939, at the outbreak of World War II. He later attended Mill End Road School in High Wycombe. After that he began work for his father on their small tenanted farm at Parslows Hillocks.
He was called up for National Service in the R.A.F., and became an Engine Mechanic (Turbine) with 56 Squadron, working on the Meteor Mark VIII.
When demobbed back to the family farm, he began working for a contractor on hedge trimming and combining, and later developed his own business.
Douglas was on the Parish Council for 8 years, and the P.C.C. for 20 years. He was a Churchwarden for 10 years.
He retained his keen interest in World War II aviation, especially local flying activities. He was a member of the Royal Air Force National Service Association. He was a founder member of the Princes Risborough and District Historical Farm Machinery Club.
His family has local links, which go back many generations.
He told us many stories of teasing the local policeman, working with the bodgers, local feuding involving his own family; not to mention Bomber Harris landing on Main Road. And there was the time he nearly burnt down the Village Hall
Doug made many other contributions to the History pages of Lacey Green Website and other sites, here are a few:
Lacey Green Aifield
The Bodgers
Lacey Green village policeman
Doug also recorded and took us for a guided tour round Lacey Green. Select Main Rd West and Church Lane
Sadly we lost Doug in 2022.
Dennis couldn't claim to be a true local, since he was not born in Lacey Green. However, he has spent most of his life in the village. He started school at St. John's, and later transferred to High Wycombe.
Members of the Claydon family have resided in Lacey Green for well over 200 years. This stimulated in Dennis, from a very early age, an interest in local history. From the initial examination of family documents his hobby had led to a far wider study of general village history. His pursuit continued to grow over the years and he had done considerable research whenever time would allow.
He was a member of Princes Risborough Area Heritage Society, Risborough Countryside Group and the Bucks Family History Society. Lately he was a serving member on Lacey Green Parish Council, a position which he held for over 20 years.
Sadly Dennis died on Friday 13 November 2016 aged 73 just after he finished a History on Methodism in Lacey Green.
Gordon was born in 1933, the youngest of three boys. They lived in the little hamlet of Darvills Hill between Lacey Green and Speen, in a house with no gas, electricity, mains drainage or running water.
He attended Lacey Green School from the age of 4 to 14, throughout the 2nd World War, and he belonged to the Local Boy Scout Troop.
From an early age he attended Lacey Green Methodist Chapel and as an adult, he held several church offices. When the building was closed in 2001, he had been a member for 70 years, 37 of them as Superintendant of the Sunday School.
Gordon also played football and cricket for Lacey Green for many years.
For the whole of his working life he was employed in the retail trade in High Wycombe.
Sadly, we lost Gordon in January, 2014.
They talk of snow this year but this was 1963 when villagers were cut off from outside services for several days.
Has anyone got any memories they would like to share?
The Chilterns Time Line
About a hundred million years ago what is now Lacey Green, along with the rest of the Chilterns and most of Britain, was lying on the bed of a shallow sea. In fact the chalk which makes up the body of the Chilterns was formed over a period of millions of years by the skeletons of microscopic sea creatures, which rained down on the sea bed. The inhabitants of this lost sea, including shells, sea urchins, sponges and sharks, can still be found locally today in the form of beautifully preserved fossils.
Pre 70,000BC
Hunter gatherers left no noticable impact

Last Ice Age.
This caused deeply frozen ground which thawing surface ice could not penetrate.
Running water caused rapid erosion to form deep valleys - the well known Chiltern Bottoms.
Mesoloithic Age
Trees began to colonise and new hunter gatherers came. They used flints for spearheads and axes to make clearings and for hunting.
Flints are still found in chalk hills left after the ice age. Nuts and fruit have also been found.
Neolithic Age
Separation from mainland Europe.
Bronze Age.
Permanent settlements and cultivation was beginning. Farmers cleared scrub woodland, made and worked fields and kept animals.
Trace of their occupation is now to be found.

Fearne Cotton announces her second pregnancy
February 27, 2015 - 16:27 GMT hellomagazine.com Congratulations to Fearne Cotton – the star has announced she is expecting her second child with husband Jesse Wood
Congratulations to Fearne Cotton – the star has announced she is expecting her second child with husband Jesse Wood. The 33-year-old revealed her pregnancy on Friday, telling fans: "I have some news…"
In a statement on her official website, Fearne wrote: "Jesse and I are very happy to announce we are having another baby. I feel extremely blessed and happy that Rex will be a big brother, and we get to welcome another Wood into the world."
Fearne Cotton is pregnant with her second child
However that wasn't the only news that Fearne had to share – she also revealed that she would be leaving her job at BBC Radio 1 after ten years presenting for the broadcaster.
"It has also been a time of big decisions and one I want to share with you now. After much time and careful thought I have decided to leave Radio 1 after ten amazing years.
"I have had the most incredible decade broadcasting on Radio 1, meeting wonderful people, helping break artists and watching live music from the world's best."
Both Fearne Cotton and Zane Lowe are leaving their jobs at BBC Radio 1
Fearne added that it was time for "a new chapter" and signed off the message telling her fans, "Here's to family and new adventures."
News of Fearne's pregnancy may not come as a complete surprise to some. It has been widely speculated that the television presenter is expecting her second child since January, when Keith Lemon suggested that she couldn't attend the National Television Awards because she was pregnant.
"Thanks to all the team at Celebrity Juice," said Keith after accepting the gong from Kris Jenner. "Thanks to Holly [Willoughby] and Fearne, allegedly one of them is pregnant that's why they're not here tonight.
It will be Fearne Cotton's second child with husband Jesse Wood
"That's an exclusive," he added.
Speculation also grew after Fearne presented an award at the Brits on Wednesday wearing a loose fitting mini dress, with many fans writing on social media that she was "glowing".
Fearne and Jesse are already parents to son Rex Rayne Wood, who turned two in February.

ORGANISATION of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) crude production climbed for a second month in June as gains in Saudi Arabia and Nigeria made up for the loss of Iraqi barrels, a Bloomberg survey showed.
Production by the 12-member OPEC rose by 278,000 barrels a day to 30.223 million, according to the survey of oil companies, producers and analysts.
Last month's total was revised 43,000 barrels a day lower to 29.945 million because of changes to the Kuwaiti, Libyan and Ecuadorian estimates.
Violence flared in Iraq, OPEC's second-biggest producer, this month as a militant group seized Mosul, the country's biggest northern city, and advanced south toward Baghdad. Fears that the upsurge may ignite a civil war sent prices higher.
Brent crude for August settlement dropped 94 cents, or 0.8 per cent, to close at $112.36 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. Brent, the benchmark for more than half the world's oil, reached $115.71 on June 19, the highest level since September 9. West Texas Intermediate oil fell 37 cents, or 0.4 per cent, to settle at $105.37 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Iraqi production tumbled 400,000 barrels a day to 2.9 million this month, according to the survey. It was the biggest drop in June and left the country pumping the least oil since September.
The fighting hasn't spread to southern Iraq, home to about three-quarters of the nation's oil output.
The production cuts occurred in the north, where the pipeline from Kirkuk to Ceyhan on Turkey's Mediterranean coast has been shut since March because of sabotage. The missing output would have supplied Iraqi needs. The 310,000-barrel-a-day Baiji refinery, Iraq's biggest, has been closed since militants first attacked it on June 15.
