Programme September — December 2013 Programme September — December 2013 Encouraging an appreciation and understanding of contemporary art by a wide audience and donating works by important and new artists to museums and public galleries across the UK. Programme September — December 2013 Encouraging an appreciation and understanding of contemporary art by a wide audience and donating works by important and new artists to museums and public galleries across the UK. INTRODUCTION We are delighted to have welcomed so many of you to our talks, events and displays in recent months, both at 59 Central Street and across the UK. Open to all, our programme highlights the philanthropic work we are doing with museums and public galleries nationally, and draws upon our expertise, developed over 100 years, to deliver informative, inspirational content. This season, our DISPLAYS series at Central Street begins with a display of nude collages by Deutsche Börse Prize winner John Stezaker (4 Sept — 4 Oct). Purchased for York Art Gallery, these will be shown alongside additional works from York’s collection focusing on the body and flesh. Other displays include a strong selection of Pop works gifted to us by philanthropists Eric & Jean Cass, which we donated to Wolverhampton Art Gallery (16 Oct — 22 Nov), and from December we will show works by 2013 Turner Prize nominee Laure Prouvost (4 Dec — 17 Jan). We look forward to talks on these displays by a selection of artists, curators and collectors in the coming months. Also launching is the fourth show in our PROJECTS series, Tip of the Iceberg: Art from Up North (4 Oct — 3 Jan), as well as a series of collaborative displays at the Whitechapel Gallery investigating the role of philanthropy in shaping public collections (17 Sept). Our programme brings into focus topical events and debates in the contemporary art world. Ahead of FIAC in October and Paris Photo in November, our International Focus seminar will this time look at developments in the contemporary Parisian art scene (18 Sept), and Emerging Trends this season explores performance art (7 Nov). We will be running two Spotlight on Contemporary Collectors events: a seminar on commissioning contemporary art (24 Sept), and an eagerly-anticipated visit to the Contemporary Art Society archives at Tate Britain (22 Nov). We are also hosting an exclusive trip to the Venice Biennale (6 — 8 Sept) and events around Frieze Art Fair (17 — 20 Oct). Don’t miss the announcement of the winners of our £60,000 Contemporary Art Society Annual Award for Museums, one of the highest value contemporary art prizes in the country aimed at enriching museum , 59 Central Street, 4 July 2013.

John Stezaker 4 SEPTEMBER — 4 OCTOBER British artist John Stezaker uses collage to explore the subversive within found images such as film magazines, vintage postcards and illustrations. Fall XII and Fall XIII (both 1992) were recently purchased for York Art Gallery through the Contemporary Art Society, the Art Fund and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. The male and female collages investigate traditional artistic training such as anatomical study and life drawing, by referencing the source material of Arthur Thompson’s book Anatomy for Art Students, a core text for students at the Slade School of Art until the 1970s. Fall XII and Fall XIII will be displayed at the Contemporary Art Society alongside other works from York’s collection that focus on the nude and flesh, including work by the Victorian painter William Etty and a work by Helen Chadwick from her Ego Geometria Sum series. John Stezaker discusses his work at the Contemporary Art Society on 12 September.

The gift is one of the most important in our 100 year history. In 2012, we distributed a selection of works from Eric and Jean Cass’s rich and eclectic collection to seven museums and public galleries in the UK to enrich and expand their current collec- tions. To continue our celebration of this outstanding philanthropic act, this autumn we will reflect on the impact of the gift on Wolverhampton Art Gallery, one of the recipient museums. Thanks to the vision of curator David Rogers in the 1960s and 1970s, the gallery now boasts one of the best collections of Pop Art in the UK, with works by Eduardo Paolozzi, Andy Warhol, Peter Blake, Roy Lichtenstein and David Hockney. The display reflects how the gift has enabled Wolverhampton to develop both its Pop collection with major works by British artist Allen Jones, as well as a new focus on the impact of European artists on the UK Pop movement, with works by Victor Vasarely and Karel Appel. We will hold an exclusive discussion of the importance of the gift, led by artists, collectors and curators, at the Contemporary Art Society on 19 October. DISPLAYS Laure Prouvost 4 DECEMBER — 17 JANUARY The work of 2013 Turner Prize nomineeLaure Prouvost moves between film, performance, sound and site-specific installation. It often plays with the relationship between director, performer, audience and the architecture of viewing. Last year, the Contemporary Art Society purchased Monolog for the Whitworth Art Gallery, University of Manchester. This video, which won the 56th Oberhausen Short Film Principal Prize in 2010, is a witty and direct challenge to the notion of the artist’s identity and institutional regulations imposed upon the viewing of art and the behaviour of a supposedly captive audience. At a time when the Whitworth is embarking upon a redevelopment of its gallery spaces, Prouvost’s work has been a timely addition to the gallery’s rich and varied collection of historic and contemporary art. Monolog will be shown at the Contemporary Art Society alongside a selection of recent work by the artist. There will be Victor Vasarely, AXO-99 (1988), a discussion of Laure Prouvost’s work at the Contemporary edition 15/175, painted wood, Art Society on 12 December. h. 69.6cm.

  • The Turner Prize 8
    ART HISTORY REVEALED Dr. Laurence Shafe This course is an eclectic wander through art history. It consists of twenty two-hour talks starting in September 2018 and the topics are largely taken from exhibitions held in London during 2018. The aim is not to provide a guide to the exhibition but to use it as a starting point to discuss the topics raised and to show the major art works. An exhibition often contains 100 to 200 art works but in each two-hour talk I will focus on the 20 to 30 major works and I will often add works not shown in the exhibition to illustrate a point. References and Copyright • The talks are given to a small group of people and all the proceeds, after the cost of the hall is deducted, are given to charity. • The notes are based on information found on the public websites of Wikipedia, Tate, National Gallery, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Khan Academy and the Art Story. • If a talk uses information from specific books, websites or articles these are referenced at the beginning of each talk and in the ‘References’ section of the relevant page. The talks that are based on an exhibition use the booklets and book associated with the exhibition. • Where possible images and information are taken from Wikipedia under 1 an Attribution-Share Alike Creative Commons License. • If I have forgotten to reference your work then please let me know and I will add a reference or delete the information. 1 ART HISTORY REVEALED 1.

    C1 KATHRYN ELKIN TELEVISION Pont/Bridge ― Montréal ↘ 13.04 2017—17.06 2017 C2 Intérieur p 1 This exhibition is part of Pont/Bridge, an ongoing partnership between LUX and Dazibao, and is organised by Benjamin Cook and France Choinière. Pont/Bridge is supported by the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications, the Ministère des Relations internationales et de la Francophonie and the British Council under the Québec-UK Connections program. Intérieur p 1 KATHRYN ELKIN In Television, British artist Kathryn Elkin presents four recent film works punctuated by a series of specially made interludes that provide rhythm and rhyme to the programme. Documentary interviews, proto pop videos and talk shows are reworked into new and less stable forms to explore what constitutes the televisual. Elkin’s performance and video works concern role- playing and improvising, alongside an ongoing interest in the outtake and clowning on set. The videos often resemble simplified versions of music (2016) Dame 2 © Kathryn Elkin, videos and TV talk shows. Elkin’s works typically manifest through citing a recognisable or popular referent - such as an artist, a song, a writer, or performer - upon which she applies personal methods of translation, transcription and representation. She has an ongoing interest in shared cultural memory (as produced by popular music, television and cinema) and the melding of this information into Intérieur p 2 Intérieur p 3 biographical or individual memory. Elkin comments: “I wanted to try and use the word television in an abstract sense, since what it means practically speaking is quite unstable. It has been detached from the TV set in the corner of the lounge receiving signals.

  • Press Release Lynette Yiadom Boakye Selects from the V-A-C Collection
    Lynette Yiadom-Boakye selects from the V-A-C collection 17 March – 14 June 2015, Gallery 7 Free Entry Rarely-seen art works inspired by nature have been selected by Turner Prize nominated painter Lynette Yiadom-Boakye for an exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery this spring. Drawn from the V-A-C collection, Moscow, it includes works by Peter Doig, David Hockney, Gary Hume and Andy Warhol, and is the third in a series of four collection displays at the Whitechapel Gallery. The artist has chosen still life paintings, photographs and a film depicting flora, fauna and people interacting with the natural world. Highlights include David Hockney’s 30 Sunflowers (1996), a vibrant, richly coloured, still life painting of sunflowers standing in vases on a red table. Part of a series, Hockney depicts flowers at various stages of life, drawing parallels with the human life cycle. Peter Doig’s atmospheric, large-scale painting Green Trees (1998) depicts an imagined lush woodland area while Gary Hume’s Garden Painting #2 (1996), an enamel paint on aluminium art work, portrays a hand reaching for a small leaf in muted greens and blues. The presentation, titled Natures, Natural and Unnatural, also includes a video by Estonian artist Jaan Toomik, Dancing with Dad (2003), which shows the artist dancing in sunlit woodlands where his father was buried, as the artist never had the opportunity to dance with his father when he was alive. Black and white photographs by Russian photographer Nikolay Bakharev capturing men, women and children posing in natural environments such as dense forests and Andy Warhol’s brightly coloured screen-print of a cow are also on display.
