In the Shadow of War

Box office 0115 846 7777

In anticipation of the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, this exhibition features the work of a generation of artists who rose to prominence in post-war Britain.

The figurative art of the 40s and 50s abounds with allusions to the trauma of conflict from Francis Bacon’s use of Nazi imagery to the Holocaust references in Graham Sutherland’s ‘Crucifixion’. In 1952, the work of a group of young British sculptors – including Lynn Chadwick, Kenneth Armitage and Bernard Meadows – was dubbed the ‘geometry of fear’, referring to its iconography of despair, or defiance. Elisabeth Frink’s predatory birds were inspired by her experiences of battle airfields in Suffolk.

ART - DJANOGLY ART GALLERY 05

www.lakesidearts.org.uk Follow us:

Throughout the 50s, Frank Auerbach and Leon Kossoff dedicated themselves to a series of paintings of London building sites, many of which had been occasioned by bombing raids during the Blitz. Others, such as Merlyn Evans, made direct references to their wartime experiences.

Other artists include: John Bratby, Reg Butler, Prunella Clough, Robert Colquhoun, Derrick Greaves, Lucian Freud, Josef Herman, Patrick Heron, L. S. Lowry, Robert MacBryde, Edward Middleditch, John Minton, Henry Moore, Eduardo Paolozzi, Ceri Richards, Jack Smith, William Turnbull, Keith Vaughan.

Lee Miller’s War

A remarkable female icon of the 20th century, best known as a model and Surrealist photographer, this exhibition focuses on one of the least recognised aspects of Lee Miller’s life – her years as a photojournalist during World War II. Working as a freelance photographer for Vogue, in 1944 Lee Miller became accredited as a war correspondent with the US Army.

She was the only woman in combat photojournalism in Europe during World War II and witnessed the liberation of Paris and the Russian/American link up in Torgau. She was also one of the first to arrive at the Buchenwald and Dachau concentration camps.

LectureS Djanogly Art Gallery (Lecture Theatre) Admission Free

Lee Miller’s photographs function not only as historical records but also as powerful images in their own right that sear unforgettably into the memory.

Lee Miller and Surrealism Wednesday 21 January 6.30 - 7.30pm

Fellow photographer David E Scherman said, “Lee Miller was never afraid of what the evil men do”, and perhaps it was this that allowed her to keep on photographing, despite witnessing some of mankind’s worst acts of inhumanity.

Lee Miller’s War Wednesday 3 December 6 - 8pm This lecture presents Lee Miller’s war photojournalism from shortly after D Day in Normandy to the flames leaping from Hitler’s Berghof near Berchtesgaden, and the post-war traumas of Austria and Hungary. The story is told by her son, Antony Penrose.

Contains wartime images that some may find disturbing.

Dawn Ades has published widely on Dada, Surrealism and photography.

This lecture examines Lee Miller’s life and work within the wider context of the Surrealist movement.

Photographing War: Art, Journalism, or Voyeurism?

Wednesday 28 January 6 - 7.30pm Professor Maiken Umbach, Head of Nottingham’s History Department, draws on her research on amateur photography from the Third Reich to reflect on Lee Miller’s photographs, their meaning in 1945, and their significance today.

Speaking of Survival Sunday 1 February 2 - 3pm To commemorate National Holocaust Day (Tuesday 27 January) we are privileged to host a talk by Bob Norton who sought refuge along with his family from the Nazi regime.

Box office 0115 846 7777

Art - Djanogly Art Gallery 09

www.lakesidearts.org.uk Follow us: Saturday 7 March – Sunday 31 May Djanogly Art Gallery (Galleries 1&1A) Admission free Justin Mortimer’s canvases have been described as history painting for the present age, fragmented scenes hinting at social and political upheaval, and detailing unspecified acts of human cruelty and suffering. In his recent work, these scenes are typically enacted in an indeterminate space, often in scrub woodland at night illuminated by the flash of a camera or the sulphurous glow of a flare.

His subjects are never literal or explicit but operate on a viscerally emotional and psychological level, creating a general aura of malaise and foreboding. Frequently this darkly sinister mood is given a sharper edge through the introduction of an incongruous detail such as a cluster of party balloons.

His imagery is gleaned from the internet and digitally collaged to create the starting point for his compositions. In this respect, the work has an affinity with that of Richard Hamilton (running concurrently in Gallery 2, p.10) who in his later years readily embraced digital media as a vital element of popular culture.

Academically trained, and for the early part of his career a successful portraitist, Mortimer is one of a growing number of international contemporary artists – especially from eastern Europe – who have reinvigorated the tradition of figurative painting.

This is the first solo exhibition of Justin Mortimer’s work to be held in a public gallery, and has been organised in collaboration with Ben Tufnell (Parafin, London www.parafin.co.uk)

Richard Hamilton Word and Image: Prints 1963-2007

Box office 0115 846 7777 This exhibition focuses on Richard Hamilton’s career as a printmaker.

Dubbed the forefather of Pop art, the themes and concerns of Hamilton’s paintings and drawings were also pursued in his graphic works on which he collaborated with some of the greatest master printers of the twentieth century. The selection of 43 works represents the full range of his technical accomplishments from traditional engraving, etching and aquatint, to screen print in the 1960s, and ending with the newly emergent digital media embraced by the artist in his later years.

His appropriation of imagery from popular culture is reflected in such early prints as Adonis in Y fronts 1963.

Wider contemporary and political issues provide the subjects of the Swingeing London suite and a number of works concerning the troubles in Ireland.

PLaying around:

Taking theatre to communities across the East Midlands

Special Collections 15

www.lakesidearts.org.uk Follow us: ‘Playing Around’ explores the history of two local theatre companies, New Perspectives Theatre and Nottingham Playhouse’s Theatre in Education company, Roundabout. Using theatre posters, teachers’ packs, programmes and photographs, together with press reviews and recollections from company members, this exhibition celebrates both companies and their use of theatre to entertain, intrigue, teach and develop different communities over the last 40 years.

Operating in a wide range of nontheatre spaces – from a gypsy caravan in a field outside Peterborough to village halls, car showrooms and school classrooms – both companies have sought to make national and international issues ‘local’ to their audiences, bringing theatre ‘home’ to audiences across the East Midlands.

Their extensive archives have recently been added to The University of Nottingham’s collections and this exhibition provides the first opportunity to see behind the scenes of both companies. ‘Playing Around’ explores their history from small but ambitious beginnings in the 1970s and 1980s, to fulfilling their mission to champion local talent and tour ground-breaking theatre to schools and rural communities in the region and beyond.

Displays showcasing the place of performance, theatre for children and young people, theatre for rural communities, and building communities will investigate how these very different but equally passionate companies have inspired and moved audiences. Despite the challenges, including their constant battles for funding, both continue to shape the cultural and social life of communities across the East Midlands.

Lunchtime talks 1 - 2pm Djanogly Theatre Admission free

A series of talks will be held to accompany the exhibition. Places are limited so please book in advance with the Box Office on 0115 846 7777.

Tuesday 20 January 2015 “It's good for them to be involved!"

Participatory Theatre-in-Education Andrew Breakwell was Director of Roundabout and Education at Nottingham Playhouse 1999–2012.

During his time there, he transformed the department so that alongside the traditional tours of curriculum-orientated plays to schools, the Playhouse offered a wide range of participation and learning opportunities that placed theatre at the heart of the community.

Wednesday 25 March 2015 Pride of Place: Theatre in Rural Communities How many opportunities are presented to us if we make our work in the spaces that people already inhabit? This talk explores the relationships between place and the making of theatre for rural audiences throughout New Perspectives’ 40-year history. Is theatre made, and received, differently in rural settings where the stage is one end of the village hall or church nave?

Thursday 30 April 2015 Local Acts: Performing Communities Guest curator Dr Jo Robinson will draw on objects and images from the exhibition, and from the larger archives of both companies, to examine the different ways in which New Perspectives and Roundabout have worked to build communities in the East Midlands through diverse performances and venues from village halls and classrooms, to gypsy caravans and car showrooms.

The Vikings Then and Now: Researching and Exhibiting the Viking Age?

Wednesday 28 January

Wednesday 11 February

Dr Hannah O’Regan from the Department of Archaeology will introduce our early forebears -– Australopithecus and early Homo, and their lives in Africa between 3.5-1.5 million years ago. Her talk, based on recent research, will include questions of where and how they lived, and the dangers they faced in day-to-day life, from sabre-toothed cats and other large carnivores.

British Museum curator Dr Gareth Williams is a specialist on Viking coins and exchange systems, and on Viking warfare and military organisation. He also curated the recent ‘Vikings: life and legend’ exhibition at the British Museum. This lecture presents an overview of some of his current research projects, and explores the challenge of trying to balance highly specialised academic research with presenting the broader subject of the Vikings to the general public. The lecture will include discussion of the recent BP Exhibition ‘Vikings: life and legend’ at the British Museum, the cinema presentation ‘Vikings Live from the British Museum’ and the forthcoming exhibition ‘Viking Voyagers’ at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall.

Following the talk Hannah will be available with casts of some of our ancestors (and an extinct cat or two), for a handling session at the Museum.

Dr Hannah O’Regan, Department of Archaeology, The University of Nottingham.

Following the talk there will be the opportunity to handle material from the University Museum collection.

Dr Gareth Williams, Coins and Medals Department, British Museum.

All talks are at 1pm in the Djanogly Theatre (Please book your place in advance at the Box Office on 0115 846 7777)

Nottingham alabasters were a key aspect of regional culture and commerce in the later middle ages. They enjoyed a national and indeed international reputation that, like the English music of the time, spread across Europe.

The Binchois Consort will present a vivid programme of sacred music contemporary with fifteenth-century alabaster production alongside projected images from the Castle Museum collection and elsewhere.

Each religious topic or saint will be illustrated by a specific alabaster group, and expressed musically by some of the most renowned composers of the time – Power, Dunstaple, Frye, Cornysh, Walter Lambe – as well as the gifted anonymous masters of the time. The concert programme sets out to illuminate not just the historical context but the living vitality and poetic beauty of religious themes as expressed through the simultaneous experience of art and music.

Nielsen Helios Overture Smetana Ma Vlast: ‘The Moldau’ ‘From Bohemia’s Woods and Fields’ Dvorák Symphony No.8

In this exciting nature-themed programme, Sinfonia opens with Neilsen’s Helios Overture – a triumphant depiction of the rising and setting of the sun. From this, two dramatic movements from Smetana’s Ma Vlast – The Moldau and From Bohemia’s Meadows and Forests – will take the audience to a jubilant conclusion of the first half. The second half will be dedicated to Dvorák’s powerful Symphony No. 8 – written to celebrate the spirit of Bohemia. This inspiring programme promises a rousing and enjoyable performance.

Making their Lakeside debut, Italian ensemble the Kekko Fornarelli Trio is widely admired and has performed extensively across Europe, Asia and Australia in the major jazz festivals. Following the acclaimed 2011 album ‘Room of Mirrors’ which sold thousands of copies worldwide, virtuoso pianist Kekko Fornarelli’s next album ‘Outrush’ released in 2014 has further enhanced the ensemble’s place in the European jazz scene. This is sophisticated but accessible music of the finest quality. An evening that music lovers should not miss.

The group initially seemed to occupy a generic space between the emphatic pop-chord potency of the Bad Plus and the guileful storytelling and impressionism of the late Esbjörn Svensson. After 10 minutes, however, it was evident that this classy threesome had very different stories to tell.

Both quartets in the first half of the programme were composed at the age of 24 when Sibelius and Nielsen were already beginning to achieve public recognition. Sibelius’s String Quartet in D minor was composed ten years later, between his Third and Fourth Symphonies. The subtitle ‘Intimate Voices’ may refer to the conversational nature of the string quartet or to Sibelius’s own inner musings at the time of its composition.

Murmur, a collaboration with Lewis Major and Ars Electronica Futurelab delve into the world of the warped and exaggerated realities experienced by those who suffer from dyslexia. Using the ancient language of Kathak dance fused with contemporary dance and cutting edge technology from one of the world's leading arts and media organisations, the piece uses light, mapping and mechanics to weave a narrative around dyslexia.

In Inked, Odedra commissions Olivier-award winning choreographer Damien Jalet to explore tribal markings and tattoos.

Inspired by Aakash's grandmother's tattoos, the duo explore notions of belonging, protection and restriction.

John Shuttleworth in Post Show Discussion with Dance4

A WEE KEN TO REMEMBER

As heard recently on BBC Radio 4's John Shuttleworth's Lounge Music.

Following a very speedy sell-out of his November show, we’re delighted that John Shuttleworth is back with this great new show.

Versatile singer/organist, John wants to share fond memories of his favourite past weekends. However, a typo on the poster means he is obliged to spend the evening paying homage to his next-door neighbour and sole agent – the diminutive Ken Worthington. He'll probably end up doing both! In this brand new show, Shuttleworth ("Sheffield's funniest man" The Times) will perform classic tunes such as "Two Margarines" and "I Cant Go Back To Savoury Now" as well as new ditties like "Bitter Sweet Memories" and "Relatives In Rotherham".

His stand up is second to none, his timing is impeccable, and you can practically warm your hands on his good nature The Guardian The king of retro and old-school England This Is Cornwall The 42nd best reason to love Britain Sunday Telegraph

MEETING GROUND THEATRE COMPANY AND NOTTINGHAM LAKESIDE ARTS PRESENT

INSIDE OUT OF MIND WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY TANYA MYERS WELCOME TO THE WARD WITH NO NAME Designer Nettie Scriven Lighting Designer Richard Statham Digital Media Designer Barret Hodgson Sound Designer and Original Composition David Wilson Following its successful world premiere here in 2013, we’re proud to welcome Inside Out of Mind back to Lakeside as part of a national tour.

Darkly comic, and offering glimpses of a mysterious world, this insightful play by Tanya Myers enters into the experience of dementia care.

Touching minds and hearts, nurses and patients search for love, rhyme and reason on ‘the ward with no name’. Dancing inside out and outside in, the play moves between multiple realities where time and identity drift apart.

Compelling performances from a strong cast powerfully invoke understanding of just how important it is to see people with dementia as individuals with rich life experiences. Everyone should see this deeply moving play.

Audience Member 2013 Based on rigorous participant observation in dementia wards, Inside Out of Mind builds bridges between art and science, old and young, carers and cared-for. *Please note the production will be filmed with live audience in attendance on 26 February.

Tanya Myers is co-Artistic Director of Meeting Ground theatre company with her husband, playwright Stephen Lowe. She has performed in many of his plays including Smile and The Fox and the little Vixen, as well as touring internationally with the company. As a director she has staged Falling Angels, Shoes and Small Waves. In film she has worked with Shane Meadows, Rob Green (The Trick), Jim Loach (Oranges and Sunshine), Anton Corbijn (Control), Axelle Carolyn (SoulMate) and Jon Sanders (Back to the Garden). Under the pseudonym of Juanita McMahon she is an award-winning reader of many best-sellers.

His new books this autumn are a Poetry By Heart anthology and The New World, second in his Treasure Island trilogy.

The book is in three sections, and opens with a sequence of war poems, Laurels and Donkeys, which draws on soldiers' experiences from the First and Second World Wars, through to the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Tonight he’ll read from his new books, and will be available to sign books before and afterwards in the foyer. www.andrewmotion.co.uk Lucid, brilliant, melancholic... Motion's most achieved collection The Guardian

Using intricate vocal techniques and rich harmony and choreography by Dan Canham, Mmm Hmmm holds a magnifying glass up to snapshots of everyday life.

How much do movies influence us?

Delving into American movie and homegrown TV culture, visual artist and performer Hetain Patel returns to Nottdance Festival once again in his highly anticipated first solo. With a personal and humorous take on identity shape-shifting, he shakes up our conception of who we are.

Through a playful synthesis of vocal and physical imitations, he conjures up film characters from his playground days: see Agent Smith from the Matrix get physical with Spider-Man while Eddie Murphy argues with Michael Caine.

Co-produced and commissioned by Sadler’s Wells, London. Co-produced by BDE London 2012 Consortium. Development supported by Mercy, Liverpool, and Penned in the Margins, London. American Boy is supported with public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

Marvellous mimic that he is, he doesn’t so much tell us about the movie characters that have taken up residence in his head, he physically becomes them.
