He's Walter Ulbricht, First Secretary of the Socialist Unity Party in East Germany in the 1950s and 60s. He was very involved in the establishment of the GDR and managed to keep the peace with Stalin and Krushchev for many years but was ousted by Brezhnev in 1971. The picture was taken when I worked at the Wende Museum (www.wendemuseum.org), a museum and archive of the Cold War, in Los Angeles.

I am a local film maker who wishes to create a film installation in museums across london as a way of encapsulating childhood voices in contemporary way. I do not know how to go about making this happen. Would it be possible to meet for a coffee to discuss my idea. I live on crescent wood road just by Dulwich Wood House pub so you are only up the road from me. If you could respond to my email I can send you a summary of type of documentary/comedy methodology we deploy. Thank you for your time. Laverne Hunt Dear Steve

I work just around the corner from the British Museum so will definitely be spending a lunchtime or two with Hadrian. I can’t wait for the exhibition, Steve.
