In 1929, D H Lawrence and his wife visited two wealthy young Americans, hoping they might finance an edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover. The quartet proves to be a potent, unpredictable combination. Based on the diaries of all four of the characters, Empty Bed Blues is a tragi-comic stage poem on life, death and above else, the nature of love and betrayal.

JOAN FONTCUBERTA DATASCAPES Joan Fontcuberta was born in Barcelona in 1955 and is one of the most significant artists to emerge from Spain in the post-Franco era. Beginning his career in advertising and journalism, his work since the 1970s has been characterised by its sceptical and often humorous investigation of the authority of the photographic image to represent objective reality and truth.

Datascapes includes two major bodies of work produced since the millennium which explore the intersection of photography and digital imaging.

In the Googlegrams, Fontcuberta uses photomosaic freeware linked to the popular search engine Google to cull images from the internet by controlling the selection criteria with the input of specific words. These are reassembled into larger iconic images of the artist’s choosing displaying challenging and often ironic relationships between words and pictures. Demonstrating this process, the exhibition will include an interactive element enabling the visitor to create their own Googlegram on a projected screen.

For his Orogenesis, ‘Landscapes Without Memory’ series, the artist has co-opted a piece of software originally designed for military or scientific use which enables the user to build photo-realistic models based on information scanned from twodimensional sources such as satellite surveys or maps.

Using this as a starting point he has scanned fragments of reproductions of iconic landscapes including those of Cezanne, Dali and Hokusai, forcing the programme to read the contours and tones of these works as cartographic information and transforming this data into virtual landscapes which are exhibited alongside the original image.

EARTH - MOON - EARTH Timed to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission and the first landing of men on the moon, this exhibition brings together the work of two artists who have addressed the idea of the connection between earth and space.

It sets up a dialogue between a key work made in 1969 by David Lamelas, a pioneering figure in conceptual art, and a piece by Katie Paterson, one of the most exciting artists to have emerged in recent years.

Paterson may be only two years into her career, but she has already had solo shows at Modern Art Oxford and at Albion in London and New York, and is currently included in Altermodern: Tate Triennial 2009. Her approach combines conceptual art, technology and the sublime, and she has made work on themes such as the sound of melting glaciers and the simulation of moonlight. This exhibition will feature her extraordinary Earth-Moon-Earth (Moonlight Sonata Reflected from the Surface of the Moon).

Lamelas represented Argentina at the Venice Biennale in 1968, and has lived and worked across Europe and America. His investigations led him from sculpture to installation and the experimental work in film for which he is best known. The piece in this exhibition, A Study of the Relationships Between Inner and Outer Space, was his first film and dates from a period of residence in London. It was originally shown at the Camden Arts Centre during the run-up to the moon landing, and captures anticipations of the impending event in its final section. The exhibition also includes works and documents by other artists relating to the theme of the moon landing.

The exhibition has been organised by Joy Sleeman of the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London and Nicholas Alfrey of the Department of Art History at the University of Nottingham, and is linked to the activities of an AHRCfunded Research Network on Land Art and the Culture of Landscape, 1967-77.

LUNCHTIME TALKS PERFORMING ARTS WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY 13 MAY 1PM - 2PM ADMISSION FREE LAXTON WILDLIFE AND CONSERVATION The sykes of Laxton’s open fields are rich in wild flowers, and the fallow field provides shelter for groundnesting birds. Stuart Rose, a Laxton farmer, explains how the village’s unique farming methods support wildlife, and how Countryside Stewardship encourages conservation of the historic landscape and biodiversity.

THURSDAY 9 APRIL - SUNDAY 16 AUGUST ADMISSION FREE

LAXTON: FARMING IN AN OPEN FIELD VILLAGE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM’S MANUSCRIPTS AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS The village of Laxton in North Nottinghamshire is unique in preserving the medieval traditions of open field farming. An otherwise typical agricultural community, it escaped being fully enclosed in the nineteenth century. The three open fields, divided into strips farmed by tenants of the Laxton estate, are still managed today by a jury reporting to the manorial Court Leet.

An exceptional series of records from the Thoresby estate, owners of the manor of Laxton from 1640 to 1952, is held by The University of Nottingham.

On display will be a copy of a magnificent coloured map of Laxton dating from 1862. Supplemented by material from other collections, including manor court records and photographs of modern-day Laxton, this exhibition highlights aspects of farming life in Laxton. It is a story which illuminates agricultural routines and processes which have long since disappeared from similar villages in the Midlands.

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

WEDNESDAY 24 JUNE 1PM - 2PM ADMISSION FREE CASTLES AND COMMUNITIES: EXPLORING LAXTON VIA LIFELONG LEARNING Dr. Sarah Speight of the School of Education looks at a long-term research project to understand a major medieval site in North Nottinghamshire within a context of the history of its community.

WEDNESDAY 15 JULY 1PM - 2PM ADMISSION FREE WHY HAS LAXTON SURVIVED? Laxton is an anomaly. Open fields existed in many parts of England, but they were gradually enclosed from the later medieval period onwards.

Hardly any now survive, and only Laxton has a functioning Court Leet.

In this lecture, Professor John Beckett of the School of History asks why Laxton retained its open field heritage while thousands of other villages succumbed to enclosure.

FRIDAY 24 APRIL 1.15PM DJANOGLY RECITAL HALL FREE ADMISSION

Marking in 2009 the bi-centenaries of the death of Haydn and the birth of Mendelssohn, this concert opens with one of Haydn’s late string quartets dedicated to Count Apponyi and first performed publicly in London in 1793. Mendelssohn’s E flat String Quartet Op.12, written when he was 20, pays tribute to the musical form of Beethoven’s ‘Harp’ Quartet, Op.74, also in E flat. Cellist Colin Carr makes a welcome return to Lakeside, joining the Allegri Quartet to perform Schubert’s great C major String Quintet, composed in September 1828 less than two months before his death.

Hauntingly beautiful and expressive, the additional cello provides a richness and depth, while the symphonic proportions and emotional breadth make the work one of the masterpieces of the chamber repertory.

XVI/27 2009 marks an anniversary year for Purcell and Handel as well as Haydn, and in this concert internationally renowned harpsichordist Trevor Pinnock celebrates the keyboard music of these three composers. Pinnock is known worldwide as a harpsichordist and conductor who pioneered performance on historical instruments with his own orchestra, The English Concert, which he founded in 1972 and led for the next thirty years. He now divides his time between conducting, solo, chamber music and educational projects.

The spirited finale is a tour-de-force especially for the keyboard player. Hummel’s third Piano Trio written in 1811 is an attractive work full of lively figurations and finishing with a witty finale which sparkles in a truly Haydn-esque fashion. Written in November 1827 the year before his death at the age of 31, Schubert’s E flat Trio is a masterpiece of dramatic intensity tempered by melancholy.

Lúnasa has since released a further six albums and has cemented itself as one of the greatest Irish groups of ‘This is the hottest Irish the decade. acoustic group on the planet.’ Irish Voice (USA)

But they haven’t been thrown together in Edgar’s cluttered top floor flat by chance. And as Edgar tells Amanda his story and slowly unearths her terrible secret the image of a small boy who’s started appearing in the mottled mirror above the fireplace, is growing stronger….

PETER PAN

FROM THE NOVEL BY J.M.BARRIE

ADAPTED FROM THE STORY

BY HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN

Spring is sprung, and Mother Duck is delighted when her eggs begin to hatch.

But the last duckling to emerge looks nothing like his fluffy yellow siblings. She loves him just as much, but the other animals pick on him because he is scruffy, clumsy - and different. Lonely but undaunted, the ugly duckling sets off on an epic journey to find the place where he truly belongs.

Travelling Light tours nationally and internationally and its work is admired around the world. The team behind Clown and Shadow Play bring their imagination and originality to this new adaptation for the youngest audiences.

Suitable for children aged 3+ and their families.

A fantastical visual fusion of live action, shadow puppetry and vibrant storytelling.

Captain Hook, Wendy, the Lost Boys and of course Peter Pan himself will all come together in an unforgettable telling of this ultimate children’s story.

This new theatre piece will be brought to life through the collaboration of three worldrenowned creators of work for families and young people. Scottish company Visible Fictions will combine its dynamic theatrical storytelling with the magical work of one of the world’s best shadow artists, Fabrizio Montecchi from Italy. This will all be strengthened by the burning creative vision of The Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis.

Suitable for ages 8+ and their families.

THE TELL WOMAN

BY NIKKY SMEDLEY

Wish yourself away on a magic adventure...

The Tell Woman is a brand new fantastical fairytale combining dance, theatre, puppetry and design, with a narrative constructed through previous work with children.

Funny, beautiful and sometimes a bit yucky, The Tell Woman is set to an original sound score with magnificent colourful costumes, set and props and is an enchanting performance for children and adults alike. Whether performing for children in such roles as ‘laa laa’ in the now legendary teletubbies, or creating televisual treats such as ‘boohbah’ or ‘in the night garden’, Nikky’s work draws its inspiration from close creative involvement with children.

Nikky draws on the shared experiences of children and adults…What’s that under my bed? Where do stories come from? Who is my friend? How do I protect what is precious?

How do I get home? Come with us on a journey through the fabric of myth and meet a host of weird and wonderful characters to find out the answers for yourselves....

Suitable for ages 4+ and their families.

The Lonely hasn’t been seen for a long time.

His house stands quiet, on the furthest edge of town.

He won’t come out.

So everyone brings to his doorstep the things they love; a photo of the wind, a song you sing in cars, a feeling of ferris wheels, some lightning in a jar.

The Lonely is ignoring them all.

But one girl stands at his door and won’t go away….

This fabulous new production, presented by the ever popular tutti frutti, tells a story of loss, loneliness and love. With beautiful movement and live music, tutti frutti yet again brings their unique style to this new piece.

Collaborating for the first time with Tasmanian-based award winning writer Finegan Kruckemeyer, this magical play promises to delight and engage children and grown ups alike.

Suitable for ages 4 -7 and their families.
