Art in the Asylum: creativity and the evolution of psychiatry
Image: ‘I Spit on Life’ 1953-54 by William Kurelek (Adamson Collection, London © Estate of William Kurelek, courtesy of the Wynick/Tuck Gallery, Toronto)
Box office 0115 846 7777
Art in the Asylum presents the first examination of the evolution of artistic activity in British psychiatric institutions from the early 1800s to the 1970s. With over 100 loans from national and international archives, the exhibition traces the historical shift from invasive treatments of mental disorders to a more humane regime in which creativity played a significant role. Highlighting key institutions and influential figures in the history of British mental healthcare, the exhibition includes the earliest use of creativity in the Crichton Royal Institution in Dumfries under the direction of Dr. W. A. F. Browne; the pioneering work of Edward Adamson at the Netherne Hospital in Surrey; and the free expression of residents at Kingsley Hall in London, a therapeutic community run by Dr. R. D. Laing. Works by Richard Dadd and Louis Wain represent some of the most well-known patient art associated with the Bethlem Royal Hospital, or ‘Bedlam’. The exhibition also acknowledges the strong influence of continental psychiatry on British practice with the inclusion of artworks by patients under the care
Art - Djanogly Art Gallery 05
www.lakesidearts.org.uk Follow us: of notable psychiatrists such as Walter Morgenthaler, Hans Prinzhorn and Leo Navratil; they include Adolf Wölfli, Johann Hauser and August Walla represented in the exhibition by important loans from the Collection de l’Art Brut in Lausanne established by Jean Dubuffet. Uncovering fascinating stories, this historical overview provides insight to the diagnostic and therapeutic use of patient artwork, its influence on the development of humane psychiatric practice, and its wider recognition by artists associated with Art Brut and so-called Outsider Art. Curated by Dr Victoria Tischler, Associate Professor in Behavioural Sciences, Division of Psychiatry, University of Nottingham; and Dr Esra Plumer, art historian and independent curator.
Lectures All lectures are held in the Djanogly Art Gallery Lecture Theatre *unless stated otherwise Admission free Friday 6 September 6.30 - 7.30pm Followed by Preview Crossovers Dr. Esra Plumer and Dr. Victoria Tischler on the historic use of art in mental health institutions and the interplay between creativity and madness, introducing some of the spaces, places and key figures in the fascinating history of crossover between visual art and mental health care.
Wednesday 11 September 6 - 8pm Edward Adamson’s life and work: creativity and the evolution of art as therapy Dr. Susan Hogan (University of Derby, author of Healing Arts: The History of Art Therapy 2001) with contributions from John Timlin (Adamson Collection) and Dr. David O’Flynn (Consultant Psychiatrist & Chair of the Adamson Collection). The groundbreaking work of the ‘grandfather of art therapy’ Edward Adamson is considered alongside associations between therapy and Surrealism. Wednesday 18 September 6.30 - 7.30pm A hidden gem: Dr. W. A. F. Browne's collection of patient art at Crichton Royal Institution, Dumfries Dr. Maureen Park (University of Glasgow, author of Art in Madness 2011) discusses the pioneering work of Dr. Browne and his collection of patient art, the oldest surviving collection of asylum art in the world. Wednesday 2 October 6 - 8pm Ancient and modern mental health care Jules Evans (author of the bestselling Philosophy for Life: and other Dangerous Situations 2012) with Dr. Ben Di Mambro (Consultant Psychiatrist) and Dr. Arun Chopra (Consultant Psychiatrist). From ancient philosophy to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), recent controversies in psychiatric diagnostics and the launch of the DSM-5, the speakers discuss how old and new approaches might interact in the provision of mental health care today.

MARAT SADE BOHNICE
Running concurrently with Art in the Asylum is a new video installation by Canadian artist Althea Thauberger, featuring a filmed performance of Peter Weiss’ 1963 play Marat/Sade at the Bohnice Psychiatric Hospital, Prague, in 2012.
While the original play is set in the bathhouse of Charenton, Thauberger’s filmed production is performed to an audience of staff and patients in another post-revolutionary institution: Bohnice, the largest psychiatric clinic in the Czech Republic.
Althea Thauberger
Marat/Sade imagines the infamous Marquis de Sade as author and director of a play about the bloody assassination of Jean-Paul Marat while the former was interned in the Charenton asylum in 1808. A time of great institutional reform, this period saw the beginnings of the reformation of the treatment of mental illness from punishment to therapy. In the 1963 play, the inmates of the asylum enact the drama, and are always partly themselves, as patients, and partly in historical character.
Characteristic of her collaborative projects with specific social groups or communities, Thauberger’s film includes interviews with psychiatric staff and patients at Bohnice giving the participants a voice and raising questions about institutionalization, power and self-determination.

Learning Course Djanogly Art Gallery (Learning Studio) Fee: £50 Thursdays, 14 November to 19 December (6-weeks) 2 - 4pm Swinging 60s Following her highly popular course on the 1950s, local historian Ann Parker will lead six sessions on life in Britain and Nottingham in the 1960s, exploring the political, economic and social climate faced by the population. With reference to works in The David Ross Collection, she questions the relevance of the popular image of the ‘swinging 60s’ to the reality of people’s lives. For Gallery Tours and the Learning Course please book in advance by calling the box office on 0115 846 7777. Further events related to The David Ross Collection in 2014 will be announced in the Dec 2013-March 2014 ON brochure.
The guiding principle behind the David Ross collection is of art produced during his own lifetime, and it is particularly rich in paintings by artists associated with the Pop Art movement of the 1960s including David Hockney, Peter Blake, Richard Hamilton and Patrick Caulfield. The legacy of these artists and their engagement with commercial and popular forms of visual culture is also apparent in more recent works by Young British Artists Damien Hirst, Marc Quinn and Gavin Turk.
Other painters who came to prominence in the 60s but who worked in a more expressionist manner, such as Frank Auerbach and Leon Kossoff, are also richly represented. The exhibition also includes: Derek Boshier, Gilbert & George, Howard Hodgkin, Allen Jones, R.B. Kitaj, Michael Craig-Martin, Bridget Riley, Mario Testino and Joe Tilson.

The Frome Hoard: The Largest Pot of Roman Coins found in Britain
The Shock of the Old: Ice Age art at the British Museum
Wednesday 2 October 2013 Djanogly Recital Hall The Frome Hoard of 52,503 Roman coins was found in April 2010, and dates to the period AD 253-90. Most importantly, the hoard enables a major appraisal of Carausius (AD 286-93), Britain’s ‘forgotten emperor’, a man who defied Rome for ten years. This lecture will tell the story of Carausius, showing how the professional excavation of the hoard provides us with important insights into the reason for the seclusion of the coins. Sam Moorhead, Portable Antiquities and Treasure, British Museum. Following the talk there will be the opportunity to examine the coin collection of the University of Nottingham Museum with Anja Rhode (Derby Museums).
Wednesday 13 November 2013 Djanogly Theatre Following the exhibition Ice Age art: the arrival of the mind, this talk, by the Curator, will focus on some of the key objects and discuss their archaeological significance, as well as their relevance in deep history.

Secret Intelligence and Hidden Evidence Surprising Finds in The University of Nottingham’s Historic Collections
Box office 0115 846 7777 Weston Gallery Exhibitions Manuscripts And Special Collections Friday 20 September 2013 - Sunday 5 January 2014 Admission Free
In a world of 24/7 news bulletins and social media channels, we have become familiar with the daily uncovering of secrets, both public and private. This exhibition shows ways in which the past can also yield up its secrets, and illustrates how evidence about historic events survives through surprising voices and in curious contexts. Records of government officers reveal the activities of early spies, and private correspondence provides frank and confidential views on scandals of the day. Contemporary accounts give partisan viewpoints, or use satire to question official versions. In examples ranging from political propaganda to commercial advertising, we can see how information was disseminated or withheld by interested parties. The display draws on The University of Nottingham’s historic library collections. Glimpses of Britain’s political and military history are seen in the secret codes used to identify Jacobite supporters and in private bulletins of news from war zones in the nineteenth century. A personal perspective on political engagement is shown in the twentieth-century campaigning activities of local midlands individuals. The theme of hidden value extends to evidence of literary and cultural buried treasure, including, in the Mellish Psalter, examples of rare texts that survived in the leaves of a church service book.

1pm – 2pm Djanogly Theatre Admission Free
Dr Rory Cormac, an expert in British intelligence and lecturer in International Relations at The University of Nottingham, will introduce us to the murky world of espionage. He will discuss the highs and lows of using archives to access sensitive material, sharing some surprising revelations along the way.
The propaganda posters produced by the Central Telegraph Agency in Moscow, played an important role in distributing news during the war, and were a powerful tool in boosting morale. Today their subject matter and messages stimulate questions about the ways in which propaganda operates visually and textually and whether propaganda can claim to be art.
A series of talks to accompany the exhibition. Places are limited so please book in advance with the Box Office on 0115 846 7777.
Monday 14 October Secrets And Surprises: Unexpected Finds in the University’s Historic Collections Dr Dorothy Johnston, co-curator of Secret Intelligence and former Keeper of the Manuscripts at The University of Nottingham, draws on her memories of collections and documents encountered during her career.

The Schubert Ensemble Fauré Piano Quartet No.1 in C minor, Op.15 Colin Matthews Piano Trio ‘Nowhere to hide’ Schumann Piano Quintet in E flat, Op.44
Audiences were blown away by the Fitkin all-star ensemble performance at Lakeside in 2010. Their dazzling cavalcade of musical thrills travels through the exotic sounds of Brazil, medieval dances with the buzzing of the bray harp backed by the sinuous interplay of saxophones, and the rip roaring sense of humour that is ‘Vamp’. You will never hear such an amazingly eclectic range of influences or sounds. The piece that blew me away was ‘South’. The best locomotive music ever written... the most thrilling train ride of a lifetime. The Scotsman
The Schubert Ensemble celebrates their 30th anniversary with a specially commissioned piano trio by University of Nottingham alumnus Colin Matthews. He was the first composer that the Ensemble commissioned in 1984 and the new trio received its premiere at the Cheltenham Music Festival in July. The programme finishes with Schumann’s magisterial piano quintet.

Tamikrest
Formed in 2006, Tamikrest are from a remote desert town in the northwest of the Sahara, 2,000 kilometres north of the Malian capital Bamako. The band members are all Tuareg, a group of people spread over North West Africa from Niger to Mali, Algeria and Libya. After a bloody civil war in the 1990s, many Tuareg fighters traded their Kalashnikovs and hand grenades for guitars and microphones. From this tradition the distinctive Tuareg sound was born, spawning the mighty Tinariwen and, in turn, Tamikrest.
Tamikrest’s music is a synthesis of this traditional Tuareg sound and Western influences like psychadelica, reggae and rock. In January the band toured the UK with the hugely successful Sahara Soul tour with sell out concerts at the Barbican and Celtic Connections. Following performances at Womad and Latitude Festivals in Summer 2013 they release their third album in September and make their debut at Lakeside in the autumn.

Funky drummers and a hot six-piece horn section play massive hits from Indian films, driven by the huge beat of the dhol drum, and accompanied by video projections of dance sequences from the original Bollywood films. This special concert will trace the development of Indian and Pakistani film and film music from the first Indian feature film (Raja Harishchandra in 1913) right up to the present day. The band plunders the Bollywood canon and throws Brazilian samba, Punjabi drumming and British cheek into the Bhangra mix...With the BBB formation blowing, jostling for space and delivering the occasional sizzling solo, this was a sensory assault that oozed good humour and sent people noisily into the night.

Living Spit The Six Wives of Henry VIII Two Actors. Too Many Characters. One Big Ego Howard Coggins looks like Henry VIII. There's no escaping that. Stu McLoughlin doesn't really look like any of the wives, but he’s going to give it a go.
After their previous self-funded twoman historical drama is savaged in the press, Howard (Bristol Old Vic) and Stu (Kneehigh) are at their wits end. Then they hit upon an idea for a show that could change everything... But can two of the South West’s favourite theatrical sons put aside their differences and make it through to the end without killing each other? An undisputed hit at the Bristol Old Vic, complete with original live music, embroidery, barbie dolls, silly songs and historical hysteria, this promises to be an ill-researched lesson in cross-dressing Tudor history that you'll never forget. The best 100 minute comedy show outside of the Edinburgh Fringe. With a seamless blend of bluesy songs, wonderful one-liners and a script that constantly surprised ‘The Six Wives of Henry VIII’ is a show that deserves a wider audience.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2013, the full company returns to the UK direct from Kerala, presenting unforgettable Kathakali performances by internationally renowned performers, singers, rhythmic drummers and highly skilled make-up artists, led by Kalamandalam Vijayakumar and Kalamandalam Barbara Vijayakumar. Kathakali is the classical dance drama of Kerala, South West India and is traditionally performed by men.

The Compleat Female Stage Beauty by Jeffrey Hatcher
Presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited London, 1661. The reign of Charles II, the womanising, dashing, Merry Monarch. After decades of Puritan austerity, crowds flock to playhouses to see the sensation of the age: an actress of exquisite beauty, charm, and talent. Her name is Edward Kynaston.
Kynaston ‘Ned’ reigned supreme as the foremost interpreter of female roles, unecplipsed, until a young orange-seller with royal connections set her cap on a stage career and Charles II, with the stroke of a pen, changed the law to allow women to act. Set in the theatres of Restoration London, Mappa Mundi’s latest show is a colourful exploration of the rise of the Actress in British history. Supported by the Welsh Government and the Arts Council of Wales.

Now he returns to what he does best - mischief! Mark has set himself the task of committing 100 Acts of Minor Dissent in the space of a year. Cataloguing everything from the smallest and silliest gesture to the grandest confrontations, the results are subversive, hilarious, mainly legal and occasionally inspiring.

Amstatten draws on stories of kidnapping and hostage situations reflected through a stark, geometric lighting by acclaimed designer Guy Hoare, to present the audience with a striking and unsettling experience. Beautifully, hauntingly dark: looming and thoughtful Audience Feedback In Badlands with a selection of love songs, and referencing the films of Terrence Mallick, David Lynch and Guillermo del Toro, Robert attempts to create the one thing he feels the dance world truly needs......a real, honest love story.
