  • Plot 16 Residency - Art in Rose Hill Modern Art Oxford
    The Fermenting Room (return of the rhizome) Plot 16 Residency - Art in Rose Hill Modern Art Oxford plot 16 Introduction by Sarah Mossop Artists’ Thoughts by brook and black The Fermenting Room (return of the rhizome) Plot 16 Residency - Art in Rose Hill Modern Art Oxford Introduction A rhizome, with its associated network of offshoots that develop into new plants, is an apt metaphor for the evolution of Modern Art Oxford’s (MAO) Art in Rose Hill programme. It reflects well how brook & black, the artistic partnership of Leora Brook and Tiffany Black, came to be involved as artists in residence at Plot 16, an allotment at Rose Hill, growing hops (from rhizomes) and making beer, and creating a large sculptural work. The original plan for the off-site programme, which centred on inviting artists ‘to make work in response to and within the communities of Rose Hill’ did not include taking on an allotment, and as such presented a challenge, as well as an opportunity, to take an innovative approach to nurturing new work. The idea of the gallery commissioning new work to take place in Rose Hill was the inspiration of Andrew Nairne, Director at MAO in 2007. Until this time, the Learning Team had worked on numerous offsite community partnership projects, but none of them had lasted beyond a few months, and Andrew was keen for the gallery to develop closer, more sustained partnerships, within one particular community in order to widen access to contemporary art and better understand the dynamics of this mode of working. It was also seen as an opportunity to explore areas of contemporary art practice generally referred to as socially engaged and/or participatory practice that often take place beyond the gallery setting.

  • Humanities Programme
    Fall Term or Extended Oxford Academic year Humanities Programme The Fall Term/Extended Oxford Academic Year Humanities programme offers you the opportunity to study The Making and Unmaking of Modern Britain: Britishness and the Construction of National Identity in the Twenty-First Century, a History and Politics course, during September. You would then choose another one or two subject(s) from Humanities, Sciences or Social Sciences to study for the remainder of your time in Oxford. This diverse and unique offering will allow you to study up to three different subject areas during your time at Oxford, as well as extend your time abroad. The Making and Unmaking of Modern Britain: Britishness and the Construction of National Identity in the Twenty-First Century September – History and Politics course Course Overview To understand modern Britain, it is vital to know something of how British national identity has been formulated in an historical, political, social, and cultural sense. Is the story of Britain in the twenty-first century one of the making or unmaking of the nation? How have British institutions such as schools, the media, museums, and churches, helped or hindered the formation of a singular national identity? And to what extent have social constructions including class, race, gender, and sexuality, divided or united the British people? Drawing on the disciplines of history, political science, sociology, and art history, amongst others, this course serves to introduce students to some of the main debates exercising Britons today, and in so doing, highlights the wealth of primary sources available to students for research and evaluation in this field.

  • A Fiery Splash in the Rockaways and Twists on Film at the Whitney
    ART & DESIGN A Fiery Splash in the Rockaways and Twists on Film at the Whitney By ROBIN POGREBIN MAY 26, 2016 Japan Society Show When the Turner Prize-winning artist Simon Starling was preparing the piece he would exhibit at the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art five years ago, he learned about masked Japanese Noh theater, which inspired W. B. Yeats’s 1916 play, “At the Hawk’s Well.” Now Mr. Starling is building on that project with “At Twilight,” his first institutional show in New York and a rare solo exhibition at Japan Society that features a non-Japanese artist. It is also the first exhibition by Yukie Kamiya, Japan Society’s new gallery director, who used to be chief curator at the Hiroshima museum. The show is organized with the Common Guild of Glasgow, which will present Mr. Starling’s version of the Yeats play in July. Mr. Starling said that he was intrigued by the idea of masked theater, “where nobody is who they appear to be.” Pogrebin, Robin, “A Fiery Splash in the Rockaways and Twists on Film at the Whitney”, The New York Times (online), May 26, 2016 The Grand Tour: Simon Starling 19 Mar 2016 - 26 Jun 2016 Nottingham Contemporary presents Turner Prize-winner Simon Starling’s largest exhibition in the UK to date.

  • Fourth Plinth: Contemporary Monument Contemporary 5 Dec 2012— 20 Jan 2013 Fourth Plinth: Contemporary Monument Contemporary
    5 Dec 2012— 20 Jan 2013 Fourth Plinth: Contemporary Monument 5 Dec 2012— 20 Jan 2013 Fourth Plinth: Contemporary Monument Foreword The Mayor of London's Fourth Plinth has always been a space for experimentation in contemporary art. It is therefore extremely fitting for this exciting exhibition to be opening at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London – an institution with a like-minded vision that continues to champion radical and pioneering art. This innovative and thought-provoking programme has generated worldwide appeal. It has provided both the impetus and a platform for some of London’s most iconic artworks and has brought out the art critic in everyone – even our taxi drivers. Bringing together all twenty-one proposals for the first time, and exhibiting them in close proximity to Trafalgar Square, this exhibition presents an opportunity to see behind the scenes, not only of the Fourth Plinth but, more broadly, of the processes behind commissioning contemporary art. It has been a truly fascinating experience to view all the maquettes side-by-side in one space, to reflect on thirteen years’ worth of work and ideas, and to think of all the changes that have occurred over this period: changes in artistic practice, the city’s government, the growing heat of public debate surrounding national identity and how we are represented through the objects chosen to adorn our public spaces. The triumph of the Fourth Plinth is that it ignites discussion among those who would not usually find themselves considering the finer points of contemporary art. We very much hope this exhibition will continue to stimulate debate and we encourage you to tell us what you think at: www.london.gov.uk/fourthplinth Justine Simons Head of Culture for the Mayor of London Gregor Muir Executive Director, ICA 2 3 5 Dec 2012— 20 Jan 2013 Fourth Plinth: Contemporary Monument One Thing Leads To Another… Michaela Crimmin Trafalgar Square holds interesting tensions.
