  • Barbican Art Gallery 2020 Exhibition Programme
    Barbican Art Gallery 2020 Exhibition Programme Into the Night: Cabarets and Clubs in Modern Art Until 19 January 2020, Barbican Art Gallery Last few weeks Into the Night: Cabarets and Clubs in Modern Art explores the social and artistic role of cabarets, cafés and clubs around the world. Spanning the 1880s to the 1960s, the exhibition presents a dynamic and multi-faceted history of artistic production. The first major show staged on this theme, it features both famed and little-known sites of the avant-garde – these creative spaces were incubators of radical thinking, where artists could exchange provocative ideas and create new forms of artistic expression. Into the Night offers an alternative history of modern art that highlights the spirit of experimentation and collaboration between artists, performers, designers, musicians and writers such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Loïe Fuller, Josef Hoffmann, Giacomo Balla, Theo van Doesburg and Sophie Taeuber-Arp, as well as Josephine Baker, Jeanne Mammen, Aaron Douglas, Jacob Lawrence, Ramón Alva de la Canal and Ibrahim El-Salahi. For information and images please visit: www.barbican.org.uk/IntoTheNightNews Trevor Paglen: From ‘Apple’ to ‘Anomaly’ (Pictures and Labels) Selections from the ImageNet dataset for object recognition Until 16 February 2020, The Curve Free admission Last few weeks Barbican Art Gallery has commissioned the artist Trevor Paglen to create a new work for The Curve. Paglen’s practice spans image-making, sculpture, investigative journalism, writing and engineering. Among his primary concerns are learning to see the historical moment we live in, exposing the invisible power structures that underpin the reality of our daily lives and developing the means to imagine alternative futures.

  • By Mike Klozar Have You Dreamed of Visiting London, but Felt It Would
    By Mike Klozar Have you dreamed of visiting London, but felt it would take a week or longer to sample its historic sites? Think again. You can experience some of London's best in just a couple of days. Day One. • Thames River Walk. Take a famous London Black Cab to the Tower of London. The ride is an experience, not just a taxi. (15-30 min.) • Explore the Tower of London. Keep your tour short, but be sure to check out the Crown Jewels. (1-2 hrs.) • Walk across the Tower Bridge. It's the fancy blue one. (15 min.) From here you get the best view of the Tower of London for photos. • Cross over to Butler's Wharf and enjoy lunch at one of the riverfront restaurants near where Bridget lived in Bridget Jones's Diary. (1.5 hrs.) • Keeping the Thames on your right, you'll come to the warship HMS Belfast. Tours daily 10 a.m.-4 p.m. (30 min.-1 hr.) • Walk up London Bridge Street to find The Borough Market. Used in countless films, it is said to be the city's oldest fruit and vegetable market, dating from the mid-1200s. (1 hr.) • Back on the river, you'll discover a tiny ship tucked into the docks: a replica of Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind, which braved pirates in the days of yore. (15 min.) • Notable London pubs are situated along the route and are good for a pint, a cup of tea and a deserved break. Kids are welcome.

  • ACM LONDON: ARTS in CONTEXT – Spring 2014 [Note: This Is a Preliminary Syllabus, Prepared During the Summer and Autumn Months of 2012 and Updated in Spring 2013
    ACM LONDON: ARTS IN CONTEXT – Spring 2014 [Note: this is a preliminary syllabus, prepared during the summer and autumn months of 2012 and updated in spring 2013. It will be developed with a great deal more specificity nearer the spring term of 2014 as theatre bookings fall into place] Course: Theatre in London: the Art of Adaptation Instructor: Steven Marc Weiss, PhD Associate Professor of Theatre Arts Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa e-mail: [email protected] phone: Course Description: This course will provide both an in-depth examination of the astonishing variety of theatre offerings available in London during each seven-week term and an equally penetrating look at the literary (or other) source materials that, directly or indirectly, inspired each production. As we consider various ways in which most theatrical productions are developed—either based on other source material or on writers’ original ideas—our ongoing focus of study will be on the intertextuality between the page (drama) and the stage (theatre). “Adaptation” is the key concept underlying the investigation, and the term will be broadly defined to include: (1) how playwrights sometimes adapt non-dramatic source materials (historical events, narrative fiction, etc.) into dramatic texts; (2) how theatre collaborators sometimes attempt to adapt for viable stage production dramatic source material from another medium (film, for instance); (3) how playwrights sometimes adapt existing, older playtexts to craft more contemporary “versions” of them; (4) how contemporary playwrights sometimes, either consciously or inadvertently, alter playtexts they “translate” from other languages; (5) how theatrical practitioners “translate” words on a page into action on the stage after carefully studying the texts for clues that will help them conceptualize and eventually actualize productions based on those clues; and (6) how playtexts are, by necessity, “adapted” by directors, designers and actors to “work” for the space(s) in which they are presented.

  • Tate Acquisition and Disposal Policy
    TATE ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL POLICY Approved by the Board of Trustees on 18 November 2020 Date of Next Review: November 2023 Statement of Principles 1. Mission Statement Tate’s mission, drawn from the 1992 Museums and Galleries Act, is to increase the public’s knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of British art from the sixteenth century to the present day and of international modern and contemporary art. 2. Remit of the Collection Tate collects British art from circa 1500 and international modern and contemporary art from circa 1900 to the present. It seeks to represent significant developments in art in all areas covered by this remit. It seeks to collect works of art that are of outstanding quality as well as works that are of distinctive aesthetic character or importance. 2.1 British Art British art encompasses work by artists defined by their contribution to the history and development of British art rather than by nationality. Tate aims to hold the most significant collection of British art in the world, in terms of its depth and breadth of diversity, and in regard to the quality of individual works. 2.2 International Art Tate’s international collection is shaped by a truly global vision. In 2000, the Board of Trustees extended Tate’s collecting remit to include art from regions such as Africa, South Asia, Latin America, Australia, China, Eastern Europe, Russia and the Middle East. Diverse and inclusive, Tate’s international collection continues to explore transnational themes and the diversification of form and material to be found in international contemporary art.
