LIFE LESS ORDINARY PERFORMANCE AND DISPLAY IN SOUTH AFRICAN ART Life Less Ordinary considers fictions of categorization and difference - be it the idea of race, nationhood, ethnicity, sexuality, religion or belonging - explored by an extraordinary range of contemporary artists from South Africa. Nowhere more so than in South Africa has the idea, politics and policies of difference been more tragically exercised. Nearly 15 years after the first democratic elections (and the creation of the world’s most inclusive constitution) daily life there is still, perhaps surprisingly, shaped by race-based dynamics and explanations, albeit differently transposed. Life Less Ordinary brings together works of photography, performance, film and installation by a younger generation wishing to shake loose from the epic narrative of race to play with, stage, transcend, celebrate and deconstruct more complex and nuanced subjectivities. Contrasted with the rarely seen photographs of early-20th century amateur photographer Alfred DugganCronin - whose semi-staged works convey as much of the photographer’s own ‘native fantasies’ as any anthropological actuality - and selected archive Apartheid material, the performative nature of racial categorization is also implied. This timely exhibition of challenging, poetical, and at times hilarious and uncomfortably satirical works creates space for a more enigmatic palette of subjectivities and feelings to come to the fore: stepping stones to new identities.
Life Less Ordinary has been curated for the Djanogly Art Gallery by Anna Douglas. Supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

JOAN AINLEY Joan Ainley has been described as an enigmatic artist whose practice includes installations, editions and multiples as well as unique objects. Exemplified by its capacity for multi-layered readings, her work reflects on the permanence of the apparently ephemeral and the use of camouflage not to conceal but as an agent to focus attention.
MEET THE ARTIST THURSDAY 10 SEPTEMBER, 6 - 7PM WALLNER GALLERY An opportunity to meet Joan and view the exhibition with a glass of wine. Please book in advance on 0115 846 7777.
HUI-CHEN LIN ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE London-based painter Hui-Chen (Annie) Lin has been our artist-in-residence since October last year. Her vibrant abstract paintings explore the sometimes dangerous territory of sensual pleasure and desire combining a contemporary sensibility with traditional techniques of painting on silk. Annie's impact has already been felt in the workshops and studio visits she has hosted and we welcome enquiries from school/college or other groups and individuals interested in hearing her talk about her work and perhaps combining this with an arts-based activity. By appointment only - book on 0115 823 2218.

Annie will be working at Lakeside until the end of October 2009 and her work will be shown in the Wallner Gallery from 9 January - 21 February 2010.

BOOTS 1849-2009 DISPENSING FEEL GOOD FORMULAS
It is 160 years since the first Boots shop was opened on Goose Gate in Nottingham. Humble in origins, it started out as a small herbalist store providing affordable family remedies. Through the vision and drive of Jesse Boot the Goose Gate store rapidly developed into a nationwide chain of pharmacies, which turned Boots into a household name. Now a global brand, Boots has always had a strong association with Nottingham’s community - as one of the city’s major employers and through its long tradition of charitable giving. PHOTOGRAPH: LANCASHIRE STORE
The display, drawn chiefly from Boots Archive and Museum collections, charts the company’s origins and growth. It explores Boots’ pharmacy heritage as well as the development of its prestigious beauty brands. Known as pioneers in employee welfare, the heart of the exhibition is focused on Boots people - there is an inspiring selection of material relating to former social and sporting events, descriptions of working conditions and recollections from past employees.
The exhibition celebrates the close relationship which has always existed between The University of Nottingham and Boots. The display has been created in partnership with The University of Nottingham’s Manuscripts and Special Collections.

Baroque violin specialist Elizabeth Wallfisch returns with a programme of virtuosic and extraordinarily beautiful works by the leading violinist-composers of the 17th-century. Biber’s ‘Mystery’ or ‘Rosary’ Sonatas were written to complement the 15 meditations on the life of Christ and the Virgin Mary. Schmelzer was a significant influence on Biber who may have been one of his pupils. Walther’s Hortulus Chelicus is one of the most important collections of 17th-century violin music. The highly unusual Serenata requires the violinist to imitate a surprising array of instruments including harp, trumpet, hurdy-gurdy and timpani. Bach’s monumental ‘Ciaccona’ from the D minor Partita, one of the most technically and musically demanding works for violin, completes the programme. The concert finishes at approximately 9.20pm

MARILYN CRISPELL PIANO One of today’s finest modern jazz pianists, Marilyn Crispell has been performing free jazz since the 1980s when she was a member of the Anthony Braxton Quartet. Since then she has recorded several CDs with groups and as a soloist including, most recently, Vignettes on the ECM label. Her improvisations are mesmerising, highly inventive journeys exploring a wide array of emotions and musical colours. Making a brief visit from New York, this is a rare opportunity to hear an extraordinary performer in what promises to be a very special musical evening.
‘Hearing Marilyn Crispell play solo piano is like monitoring an active volcano. She is one of a very few pianists who rise to the challenge of free jazz.’ The New York Times ‘For two decades, Marilyn Crispell has been one of the most highly regarded pianists at the sharp end of contemporary jazz.’ John Fordham, The Guardian

A rare opportunity to hear a performance of Hans Werner Henze’s Double Concerto for Oboe and Harp written in 1966 for the virtuoso soloists Heinz and Ursula Holliger. Mendelssohn’s performance of Bach’s St Matthew Passion in 1829 brought about a revival of Bach’s music after an absence of almost 100 years. His interest in studying earlier models, most particularly contrapuntal writing, is evident in the 11th string symphony, completed in 1823. The concert finishes at approximately 9.20pm

One of the world’s leading string quartets, the St. Petersburg was founded in 1985 as the Leningrad Quartet.

UNIVERSITY PHILHARMONIA Jonathan Tilbrook, conductor Elisheba Stevens, cello MOZART Symphony No.1 in E flat, K16 HAYDN Cello Concerto in C PÄRT Summa POULENC Sinfonietta The University Philharmonia begins the year with a delightful programme of classical and neo-classical wit and elegance. Composed in London in 1764, when Mozart was all of eight years of age, the symphony K16 - which may not in fact have been his first, but still seems the most likely contender - reveals a precocious command of the form with music which combines vivacity and humour in the outer movements and a weighty seriousness and sense of drama in the central Andante.
Third-year undergraduate music student, Elisheba Stevens, takes the solo role in Haydn’s cello concerto. The programme is completed with Arvo Pärt’s quietly contemplative Summa, (a version for strings of a vocal work with the same name which sets the ‘Credo’ text from the Mass) and Poulenc’s gloriously witty, urbane and light-hearted Sinfonietta written for the BBC in 1947.

The music shows traces of inspiration from sources as diverse as Scandinavian folk music, Caribbean music, early blues, gospel and hymns, and Impressionism - but all transformed and integrated into a highly original universe.
Now, Tord launches the quartet version of his ensemble. The quartet is a natural prolongation of the trio work, but also adds new colours and dimensions to Tord’s music through the sensibilities of some of the finest and most intriguing players on the vibrant and eclectic Scandinavian jazz scene.

MARK PADMORE TENOR & SIMON LEPPER PIANO SCHUMANN Liederkreis, Op.24 Franz LACHNER Songs SCHUMANN Dichterliebe, Op.48 One of Britain’s finest tenors, Mark Padmore makes his Lakeside debut performing two of Schumann’s song cycles. His recital partner for this concert is Simon Lepper, one of Britain’s most gifted young accompanists. Mark Padmore has sung at the English, Welsh and Scottish National Operas, the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Opéra de Paris, Théâtre du Châtelet and the Aix-en-Provence Festival. He has appeared with many of the world’s greatest orchestras and has made numerous recordings including Bach’s Passions with Philippe Herreweghe and Paul McCreesh, Bach Cantatas with John Eliot Gardiner and Herreweghe, and Haydn Masses with Richard Hickox. His performances of Schubert song cycles, operatic roles by Tippett, Britten, and Stravinsky, as well as works written for him by Mark-Anthony Turnage, Birtwistle, Sally Beamish and Huw Watkins demonstrate the range and depth of his musical interests. His extraordinary ability to communicate the emotional heart of texts has drawn admiration from audiences and critics alike. This will be a concert not to be missed. The concert finishes at approximately 9.10pm ‘Padmore’s lyric tenor has a silken, luminescent beauty, but - and this is art indeed - he never lets that beauty obfuscate the poetry.

FITZWILLIAM STRING QUARTET WITH PHILIP WELLER SPEAKER Lucy Russell, violin Jonathan Sparey, violin Alan George, viola Heather Tuach, cello HAYDN The Seven Last Words of Christ from the Cross Haydn’s seven meditations on Christ’s final words were composed for Lenten devotions on Good Friday at Cadiz Cathedral in 1787 with each musical episode followed by a short sermon by the bishop. Originally composed for orchestra, Haydn made an arrangement for string quartet shortly afterwards. In this performance Music Department Lecturer Philip Weller will provide text selections to complement the musical episodes.

Religious mysticism, nationalism, pantheism, doomed love and a celebration of the human thirst for discovery are themes that are explored in this fascinatingly diverse programme. Szymanowski’s too-rarely heard Stabat Mater - his first composition on a religious text - synthesizes responses to the Polish folk music and landscape that he experienced in the 1920s in the area around Zakopane in the Polish Tatras. Twenty years earlier - on the other side of the mountain range, the Czech, Vitezslav Novák, made his own response to this beautiful and awe-inspiring region, with his wonderfully evocative symphonic poem In the Tatra Mountains. Dvorák was commissioned to compose a work to mark the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’s discovery of America but, in the absence of a suitable text being sent to him, he elected to compose a celebratory setting of the ‘Te Deum laudamus’ for performance in New York in 1892. The programme is completed with Tchaikovsky’s devastating portrayal of the ‘star-cross’d lovers’, Romeo and Juliet. v

RETINA DANCE COMPANY PRESENTS ANTIPODE Choreographer: Filip Van Huffel Composer: Joris Vanvinkenroye Dancers: Robert Guy, Steven Martin, Matthew Slater, Brian Tjon Tjauw Liem A raw and exhilarating piece of athletic dance in which four great young male dancers are joined by a double bass player. Powerful and energetic movement demonstrates the skill of the dancers and emphasises their connection with the live soundscore.
The dancers collide, caress, fight, play and reject as they stampede along their own pathway, with quirky solos interrupting feisty duets and athletic group work. By manipulating the sound of his double bass, both acoustically and electronically, acclaimed Belgian composer/musician Joris Vanvinckenroye creates a rich musical landscape, which drives the performance with percussive power. “Van Huffel...bends his dancers in amazing shapes with an intriguing interplay of limbs, quirky balances and exciting athleticism.” Stephanie Ferguson - The Guardian Antipode was made possible with support from Arts Council England, ccBe Antwerpen and Nottingham City Council.

METAL SCULPTURE WORKSHOP
REFLECTIVE JOURNEYS: THE ART OF PORTRAITURE
Obediar Madziva is a sculptor who ran a metal art workshop and studio in Zimbabwe, creating life size animals to commission, before coming to the UK. In this workshop he will be leading participants through the pop riveting process, to assist them in the creation of their own 3-D metal creations.
In this workshop with Rachel Grigor, the emphasis will be on the selective and reflective processes associated with selfportraiture. Using oneself as a starting point you will be encouraged, through a series of studies and exercises, including different ways of recording information, to prepare for a larger piece of work using mixed media and colour.
