SUMMARY:Guided tour - The Pre Raphaelites at Tate Britain
DESCRIPTION:The talk and tour will be led by London based painter Selin.  She will be focusing on the following works; The Lady of Shalott by John William Waterhouse\, Ophelia by John Everett Millias\, Sancta Lilias by Dante Rossetti\, The Death of Chatterton by Henry Wallis\,  Lady Macbeth by John Singer Sergeant\, and The Beloved by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. \nThe Pre Raphaelites were a group of radical English artists and poets that formed in 1848\, during the Victorian era. They rejected The Royal Academy of Art style of painting that was taught\, which was heavily based on the Raphael tradition of painting. They depicted beautiful sensual women\, fairytales and epic legends from Greek myths and classical stories\, in a realistic manner. \nThey bought a new way of painting subject matter that still evokes a powerful and emotional response to this day. \nThis talk will dive into the stories behind the artists\, their lives\, inspirations and subjects in the 6 key paintings that are part of the permanent collection at Tate Britain. The talk will discuss how they evoked a new approach and sensitivity to painting that caused a sensation in Victorian England\, as well as how these 6 selected paintings by The Pre Raphaelites Brotherhood left a significant and powerful mark on the Art world\, that forever changed the ideas and notions of traditional painting. \nJoin us on this Pre Raphaelites talk and tour at Tate Britain that will surely be full of insight and inspiration for any art lover or enthusiast. \n********************** \nAbout Selin: \nSelin has completed a Masters Degree in Painting at Wimbledon College of Art and has\nalso studied a Fine Art degree at The University of the Arts London. She has extensive\nand wide knowledge on Art history\, specifically focusing on paintings of the late 18th and\n19th century. She has especially a passion for the Pre Raphaelites Movement. Her future\nambition is to study her PHD in Art History at The Courtauld Institute of Art. Selin is also\na practising artist and painter. \n********************** \nMeeting point/ time: \nFrom 1.45pm by the cloak room on level zero at the designated gallery’s groups meeting point.  Look out for the man (Ri) in an orange hat with Different Planet written on it. \nThe event programme is downloadable from here; programme

SUMMARY:Guided tour/ artist’s talk – Ana Cvorovic – ‘Borders Unfold’
DESCRIPTION:‘Borders Unfold’\, the first UK solo show of Sarajevo-born British artist Ana Čvorović. \nAna will be on hand to take us on a tour of the exhibition and share her insights. \n‘Borders Unfold’ is the culmination of a year-long exploration of the complex psychological effects of geographic dislocation\, particularly within communities from former Yugoslavia displaced during the civil war of the nineties. \nAiming to create a link between her own experience of displacement and that of others\, the artist pursued a research residency in Utica\, New York\, the city with the largest rate of refugees per capita in the US\, in the summer of 2018. Having worked with the local community on interviews\, workshops and sound recordings\, now she returns to sculpture to unfold her own interpretation of this investigation. \nThe exhibition will feature a new body of work comprised of sculptural works\, site-specific installations and a surround soundscape\, inviting visitors to experience the gallery space as an immersive journey. \nElements such as cast objects\, oil paintings on tarpaulin\, and everyday items incapsulated in resin\, present some of Čvorović’s recurring motifs\, as well as new sculptural processes initiated for this project. \nAs with previous works\, the vulnerability of childhood is evoked in visceral\, sensorial ways. Whilst in Discharged (2014) we saw child mattresses protruded by a metal frame\, ‘Borders Unfold’ introduces a series of aquatic references\, like children’s swim suits and colorful fishing paraphernalia\, highlighting water as a host for varied psychological states.

SUMMARY:Guided tour - Albert Oehlen: 'Spiegelbilder' exhibition at Galerie
DESCRIPTION:Bringing together singular paintings from a significant early series in Albert Oehlen’s oeuvre\, this will be the first exhibition dedicated to the Spiegelbilder (‘Mirror Paintings’) in the UK. \nThe exhibition coincides with a major solo show of the artist’s work at the Serpentine Gallery\, London\, which opens on 2 October 2019. Spanning eight years\, from 1982 – 1990\, the Spiegelbilder series straddles a decisive period for the artist\, during which he moved from the crude figuration and “bad painting” of the late 1970s and early 80s\, towards non-objective painting in the late 1980s. \nThrough the Spiegelbilder\, Oehlen cemented his reputation for subverting painting conventions. “This mirror idea allowed me to make an ‘original’ invention\, but one that is bearable because it is so hackneyed.” –– Albert Oehlen. \nOne of Oehlen’s earliest bodies of work\, the Spiegelbilder are distinguished by actual pieces of mirror collaged onto the surface of the canvas\, highlighting the artist’s unconventional approach to painting from the outset. Although visually distinct\, there is an attitude and approach in these paintings towards colour\, light\, scale and line that carries through later series. \nBelonging to the Spiegelbilder are some of Oehlen’s first self-portraits\, a primary example of which will also be exhibited. \nMany of the works in the series depict domestic interiors and politically-charged exteriors in a palette of muted colours. With titles alluding to Germany’s past and the incorporation of social and political spaces such as museums\, staircases and brick walls as barrier motifs\, Oehlen demonstrates his ability to turn controversy into cliché. \nOutsmarting painted pictorial reality with actual mirrored reality\, the Spiegelbilder redefine the limits of the medium\, drawing us in physically through their reflective qualities. Ambiguous in their presentation of socio-political spaces\, the works provide early insight into Albert Oehlen’s idiosyncratic approach to painting through an ever-evolving style and technique. \nA second presentation of further works from the Spiegelbilder series will be exhibited at Nahmad Contemporary\, New York from 5 November – 21 December 2019. Albert Oehlen (*1954\, Krefeld) lives and works in Switzerland. His first solo exhibition at Galerie Max Hetzler was in 1981 and he has had 25 solo shows at the gallery since. \nOehlen’s work has been shown in numerous solo exhibitions in international institutions\, including Palazzo Grassi\, Venice (2018); Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes\, Havana (2017); Cleveland Museum of Art and Guggenheim\, Bilbao (both 2016); New Museum\, New York and Kunsthalle Zürich (both 2015); Museum Wiesbaden (2014); mumok\, Vienna (2013); Kunstmuseum Bonn (2012); Carré d’Art de Nîmes (2011); Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (2009); Whitechapel Gallery\, London (2006); MOCA\, Miami; Kunsthalle Nürnberg (both 2005); Musée Cantonal des Beaux Arts\, Lausanne; Domus Artium 2002\, Salamanca and Secession\, Vienna (all 2004)\, among others. \nPaintings by Albert Oehlen are held in the permanent public collections of prominent international museums including Centre Georges Pompidou\, Paris; Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; Kunstmuseum Bonn; Museum für Moderne Kunst\, Frankfurt; Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean\, Luxembourg; Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig\, Vienna; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles; Museum of Modern Art\, New York; The Art Institute of Chicago; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; The Broad\, Los Angeles and Tate Gallery\, London. \nA major show of Oehlen’s work opens at the Serpentine Gallery\, London on 2 October 2019 and runs until 12 January 2020. \nAn exhibition catalogue will be produced on the occasion of the exhibitions Albert Oehlen: Spiegelbilder at Galerie Max Hetzler\, London and Nahmad Contemporary\, New York.

SUMMARY:Guided tour - Dean Hughes solo show
DESCRIPTION:For his third solo-show at the gallery\, Dean Hughes presents works from 1996 until present days. \nSpecialised with the ordinary and the unassuming\, Hughes engages with the banality of everyday items by replacing their primary function with new meanings\, bearing witness to the artist’s own history. \nDean Hughes employs commonplace articles -bus tickets\, gum strip\, ruled paper\, puddles -to symbolise small transactions with the material world. With a subtle cynicism to Duchamp’s ready-made\, Hughes’ daily rituals of alteration and relocation epitomize the pointless gesture of the artist\, removing any trace of authorial intention. In the exhibition\, Hughes presents new works\, as part of a series that began in 2018 made by printing coffee rings from the base (or what is called the foot of coffee cups) onto paper. \nThe artist sees this process as comparable and similar in intent to the process of making potato prints as a child. The process has its origins in a chance crescent residue shape made by placing a coffee cup on a blank sheet of paper. \nHughes is interested in these small occurrences\, which can be extended over time through repetition and process-a method of dwelling within the commonplace. Dean Hughes (b.1974 Manchester\, UK) studied at Chelsea College of Art and Design\, London between 1993-96. \nSolo exhibitions have included Laure Genillard Gallery\, Gian Carla Zanutti Gallery\, Milan\, Jack Hanley Gallery\, San Francisco\, Dick Smith Gallery\, London and group exhibitions have included British Art Show 5\, Big Minis at CAPC Bordeaux; Lonely at the Top\, MUHKA Antwerp\, and Newspeak: British Art now\, Saatchi Gallery. He is Professor and Head of the Department of Arts\, Northumbria University. \n************** \nThe tour will be conducted by assistant gallery director ‘Linda Rocco’. Linda is a London-based Contemporary Art Curator\, writer and programmer with a background in contemporary dance and theatre. \nShe graduated from a two-year MA at the Royal College of Art with a dissertation on the meanings of ‘Presence and its Extensions’. \nHer interests spread across the presentation\, mediation and preservation of live and ephemeral practices; the sociology of the artist in today’s hyperconnected societies and audiences’ dynamics within institutionalized and public contexts.

SUMMARY:Guided Tour - 'A Secret Beauty' - The Spirit of Japanese Maki-e
DESCRIPTION:A Secret Beauty: The Spirit of Japanese Maki-e An exhibition of the Lacquer Work of Koyanagi Tanekuni. \nLacquer has been used in Japan for almost 10\,000 years to protect and decorate objects\, such as wood\, bamboo\, earthenware\, and textiles. As a decorative medium\, lacquer has had a high status in Japan. \nThe lacquerware decorated in gold and silver particles known as ‘Maki-e’\, which was first introduced in the 8th century\, is a culmination of Japanese aesthetic sensibility and purity. \nThe value and prestige of lacquerware is shown by the status of its patrons\, which included emperors\, nobilities\, shoguns and daimyos. Guest curator Dr Arichi will take us on a tour of the exhibition and provide insight into the significance of lacquer in Japan\, the artist’s life and the pieces on display. \nDr Arichi is an expert in the History of Japanese Art\, a Senior Teaching Fellow at SOAS\, and is also an accredited lecturer of The Arts Society. \n******************************************** \nThe meeting point is inside the gallery foyer from 14.45 to 14.55. ‘Different Planet’ signs will be clearly visible at our point of congregation. Numbers are limited to 25 people. Attendance is free. Kindly RSVP to confirm your place. Looking forward to meeting members on the day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
