WINIFRED NICHOLSON LIBERATION OF COLOUR Saturday 4 March – Sunday 4 June Djanogly Gallery Admission Free Open Tuesday - Sunday inclusive Good Friday 12-4pm Closed Easter Sunday

“The nature of abstract colour is utter purity – but colours wish to fly, to merge, to change each other by their juxtapositions, to radiate, to shine, to withdraw deep within themselves.”

The exhibition will examine the major periods of the artist’s creativity taking inspiration from the places she visited or in which she lived. These include her early visits to Lugano, Switzerland, in the early 1920s after her marriage to Ben Nicholson and her periods of residence in Paris during the 1930s where she met and befriended artists such as Piet Mondrian, Jean Hélion and Naum Gabo. In the 50s and 60s the Scottish Isles and Greece were favourite destinations and throughout her life her beloved Cumbria was a constant to which she returned.

8-10 LYT

Winifred Nicholson wrote a number of articles about her understanding of light and colour, and the exhibition will examine her writings using specific pictures to illustrate her ideas on colour theory. After she acquired some prisms from a physicist in the mid-1970s her painting took on a new direction. Looking through the prism she saw objects with a halo of rainbow colour; exploring this phenomenon in the last few years of her life, her paintings often verge on the abstract. “I found out what flowers know, how to divide the colours as prisms do … and in so doing giving the luminosity and brilliance of pure colour.”

170.0 x 240.0mm

Liberation of Colour explores the art of Winifred Nicholson (1893-1981) renowned for the faux naïve charm and scintillating colours of her flower still lives. It brings together works from throughout her career in which she approached the genres of landscape and portraiture as well as still life alongside her experiments in abstraction.

LITTLE LAKESIDERS

The exhibition has been curated by the artist’s grandson Jovan Nicholson and includes many never before or rarely exhibited works from private collections alongside previously unseen letters and photographs.

Winifred Nicholson: Liberation of Colour has been organised by Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, part of Teeside University, with Jovan Nicholson.

An Arts Council Collection Touring Exhibition Saturday 15 July - Sunday 24 September Djanogly Gallery Admission Free Open Tuesday - Sunday inclusive

12.0mm

British art of the 1960s is noted for its bold, artificial colour, alluring surfaces and capricious shapes and forms, yet these exuberant qualities are often underpinned by a strong sense of order, founded on repetition, sequence and symmetry. Bringing together outstanding examples of painting and sculpture from the Arts Council Collection and other major UK collections, Kaleidoscope examines 1960s visual art through a fresh and surprising lens, bringing into view the relationship between colour and form, rationality and irrationality, order and waywardness.

Kaleidoscope is the first Arts Council Collection survey of 1960s British art in over twenty years, and as such it assumes a wide perspective, ranging across media to find fresh correspondences and a common language between diverse artistic movements. It encompasses the mind-bending surfaces of Op Art, the flattened repetition of Pop, the mathematical order of Constructivism, and the sequential placement of brightly-coloured abstract units found in New Generation sculpture.

Kaleidoscope presents the work of over twenty artists including: Tess Jaray, Phillip King, Kim Lim, Mary Martin, Eduardo Paolozzi, Bridget Riley, Tim Scott, Richard Smith, William Tucker and William Turnbull. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated publication featuring a new essay by co-curator Sam Cornish.

This lecture will explore how colours can be used as windows on the world of the Middle Ages. Colours linked to objects, materials and foodstuffs could mark status and roles in societies and were also indicators of near-global medieval trade networks that spanned Eurasia and Africa. Dr Loveluck will focus on colours and social hierarchy – how the privileged used colour to reinforce and enhance power and religious ideology; colours and globalization – how colours in materials and culinary tastes shaped medieval global networks; and colours and wider society – colours and people as agents of social change.

It is 1896. Girton College, Cambridge is the first college in Britain to admit women. They study ferociously and match their male peers grade for grade.

The men graduate, however the women leave empty handed, with nothing but the stigma of being a ‘bluestocking’- an unnatural, educated woman.

Principal Welsh is determined to win the women the right to graduate, whatever the cost.

Set against the backdrop of women's suffrage, this is a moving, comical and eye-opening story of women's fight for education and self-determination.

Yet behind the exchange of gifts and elaborate ceremonies between the East India Company and Indian princes lay dissent, distrust and rebellion. Visitors to the exhibition can read the outraged letters of the Prince of Mysore, Jamh O Deen, held hostage by the East India Company and the reports on the Vellore Mutiny of 1806. The advice and petition of Hindu pandits relating to the abolition of sati (the practice of widow immolation) illustrates the role of negotiation and dissent in response to foreign, colonial rule. ‘Threads of Empire’ allows the visitor to witness the fragile terrain of British imperial power in India from the perspective of both the rulers and the ruled.

The exhibition has been jointly curated by Dr Onni Gust (Department of History), Ibtisam Ahmed (PhD Student, Department of Politics and International Relationships) and Manuscripts and Special Collections at The University of Nottingham. Ibtisam Ahmed’s time on the project was supported by the Institute of Asia and Pacific Studies.

THE ‘THIN WHITE LINE’: EUROPEAN SOLDIERS IN COLONIAL INDIA 20 April 2017 The military sat at the core of imperial rule in India. Although the army was composed largely of Indian troops, European soldiers were thought to be crucial to maintaining colonial rule. In this talk Dr Erica Wald, of Goldsmiths, University of London, explores the professional and daily lives of the European rank-and-file in India during the nineteenth century.

170.0 x 240.0mm Indian clothes and textiles were key items of trade for the British East India Company. Yet clothes were more than just commodities, they symbolized the differences between ruler and ruled. In this talk, Ibtisam Ahmed looks at the role of clothing in defining and enforcing British rule in India.

‘SINGING THE LORD’S SONG IN A STRANGE LAND’: NINETEENTH-CENTURY DEBATES OVER BRITISH RULE IN INDIA 6 June 2017 British imperialism in India was a contentious subject, especially amongst those who actively participated in the imperial project. Drawing on the correspondence of British imperial elites and Indian rulers, Dr Onni Gust examines early nineteenth-century debates about the rights and wrongs of British conquest and rule in India.

British presence in India began in the seventeenth century with the East India Company’s establishment of coastal trading bases.

Granted trading privileges by the Mughal Emperor and a royal charter by James I in 1609, the East India Company exported cottons, silks, calicoes and tea.

It is 1896. Girton College, Cambridge is the first college in Britain to admit women. They study ferociously and match their male peers grade for grade.

The men graduate, however the women leave empty handed, with nothing but the stigma of being a ‘bluestocking’- an unnatural, educated woman.

Principal Welsh is determined to win the women the right to graduate, whatever the cost.

Set against the backdrop of women's suffrage, this is a moving, comical and eye-opening story of women's fight for education and self-determination.

In that race they crossed the line together, but their careers spiralled in opposite directions.

Armstrong went on to win seven consecutive Tour de France titles; Pantani died of a cocaine overdose alone in a hotel room.

Once regarded as the greatest race in the history of cycling, we now know that both Armstrong and Pantani doped throughout their careers, and this dramatic retelling is done in the light of everything known in 2016.

EXHIBITION TALK COLOUR IN THE MEDIEVAL WORLD: IDENTITY, ECONOMY AND SOCIETY, C.AD 600-1450 With Dr Chris Loveluck, Head of Department of Archaeology, University of Nottingham and Associate Professor and Reader in Medieval Archaeology Wednesday 7 June, 1pm Djanogly Theatre Admission free Please book in advance.

Image: Wollaton Antiphonal - Manuscripts and Special Collections, The University of Nottingham

This lecture will explore how colours can be used as windows on the world of the Middle Ages. Colours linked to objects, materials and foodstuffs could mark status and roles in societies and were also indicators of near-global medieval trade networks that spanned Eurasia and Africa. Dr Loveluck will focus on colours and social hierarchy – how the privileged used colour to reinforce and enhance power and religious ideology; colours and globalization – how colours in materials and culinary tastes shaped medieval global networks; and colours and wider society – colours and people as agents of social change.

AAKASH ODEDRA COMPANY

ECHOES & I IMAGINE DANCE Tuesday 13 June 7.30pm Approximately 100 minutes including interval Djanogly Theatre £15 (£12 concessions) £9 restricted view Suitable for 14+

Echoes, choreographed by Aditi Mangaldas, is a stunning approach to traditional Kathak dance.

Here, both choreographer and performer listen attentively to the echoes of our life. Aakash dances majestically across a stage invaded by cascades of bells conjuring up his roots and ties.

I Imagine is Aakash’s exploration of dance-theatre by embodying three generations of migrants through masks and acting. The result? A visceral and witty take on identity and longing.

Dozens of piled suitcases on stage are unlocked to unveil a very touching performance.

JUNGLE BOOK

An Arts Council Collection Touring Exhibition Saturday 15 July - Sunday 24 September Djanogly Gallery Admission Free Open Tuesday - Sunday inclusive

British art of the 1960s is noted for its bold, artificial colour, alluring surfaces and capricious shapes and forms, yet these exuberant qualities are often underpinned by a strong sense of order, founded on repetition, sequence and symmetry. Bringing together outstanding examples of painting and sculpture from the Arts Council Collection and other major UK collections, Kaleidoscope examines 1960s visual art through a fresh and surprising lens, bringing into view the relationship between colour and form, rationality and irrationality, order and waywardness.

New Music by BB Cooper Written by Toby Hulse

170.0 x 240.0mm

Lost and alone in the jungle, how will the infant Mowgli survive in this terrifying but wonderful new world? And how will he escape the claws of the vengeful tiger, Shere Khan?

Only the help and guidance of Baloo the bear, Bagheera the panther and Akela the wolf can protect him from the mischievous monkeys, the powerful python Kaa, and ultimately from himself.

Rudyard Kipling's classic tales of the Indian jungle, animals, humans, friendship, love and the natural laws that bind us all together, are brilliantly brought to the stage in BB Cooper’s musical, written by Toby Hulse. A spell-binding, edge-of-your-seat adventure of song, dance, music and laughter that evokes the brilliance of Kipling’s original stories.
