04 Art - Djanogly Art Gallery

Pop Art to Britart Modern Masters from the David Ross Collection

Saturday 23 November – Sunday 9 February 2014 Djanogly Art Gallery Admission free The highlight of Lakeside’s winter season, this is the first public exhibition of one of the most important collections of latetwentieth century and contemporary art in private hands.

David Ross is perhaps best known as the co-founder in 1991 of The Carphone Warehouse, today Europe’s largest independent mobile phone retailer. Since 2003 he has been involved in leading many other public and private companies,

Box office 0115 846 7777

as well as pursuing a passion for the arts, sports and education through the David Ross Foundation. He is also a Trustee of the National Portrait Gallery.

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.

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, Bridget Riley, Mario Testino and Joe Tilson.

After Malevich 9&10, 2012 copyright Tess Jaray

Landscapes of Space is the first major exhibition, since that at the Serpentine Gallery in 1988, devoted to the paintings and prints of Tess Jaray, and includes work from the early 1960s to the present day.

After leaving the Slade, Jaray was awarded a travelling scholarship in 1960 that enabled her to study first-hand the art and architecture of the Italian Renaissance and Baroque. Seeing the frescoes of artists such as Giotto and Piero della Francesca in their original settings proved an overwhelming experience and was pivotal in laying the path she was to follow for the next 50 years. She was captivated by the emotional impact of the architecture she encountered and came to the realization that space itself could be the subject of painting. Thereafter, her works were to be characterized by a rigorous structural design coupled with carefully considered colour combinations that create affecting spatial ambiguities. A quest for the simplest and most expressive form has gone hand-in-hand with an obsession with the purity and power of colour.

Since 1985 an increasing amount of the artist’s time has been devoted to major commissions in which she has been able to apply her understanding of space and pattern to large-scale projects in public places such as the Centenary Square, Birmingham, and the forecourt of the new British Embassy in Moscow. In 2013, a new floor designed by Jaray was installed in the transepts and nave of St Mary’s Church, Nottingham, and documentary photographs of this exciting new artwork in the city will be displayed alongside the exhibition in the Angear Visitor Centre.

The exhibition coincides with the publication of the first monograph on the artist published by Ridinghouse and Djanogly Art Gallery with texts and interviews by Richard Davey, John Stezaker, Alison Wilding, and Alister Warman.

Lecture Djanogly Art Gallery Lecture Theatre Admission Free Thursday 20 February 6.30 - 7.30pm Followed by Preview Richard Davey (Co-ordinating Chaplain Nottingham Trent University and Visiting Fellow in the School of Art and Design) will introduce the work of Tess Jaray in conversation with the artist.

These talks allow professional archaeologists, related specialists and community groups to share their exciting work with us as it is happening and include local, regional, national and international projects.

Origins of the Afro comb Project

The Archaeology of the Tram

Wednesday 22 January

Wednesday 26 February

Following a successful special exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum and Museum of Archaeology in Cambridge, the curator Sally-Ann Ashton will present a talk on a community-focused project examining the history and meaning of hair combs in Africa and amongst the African Diaspora. From Ancient Egyptian burials to the emergence of the 'Afro' comb during the time of the Black Power Movement, this talk will cover over 6000 years of history and will consider what the Afro comb means to people today.

The construction by NET2 of two new tram lines from the centre of Nottingham to Toton and Clifton has created the opportunity for some of the largest archaeological interventions in Nottingham for many years. Work undertaken by Trent & Peak Archaeology includes large open area excavations of a prehistoric landscape at Clifton and the important medieval priory at Lenton. This talk will discuss some of the findings of the archaeological work so far and what this work means in the context of the city's history.

Dr Sally-Ann Ashton, Assistant Keeper of Antiquities at the Fitzwilliam Museum.

Dr David Strange-Walker and Dr Gareth Davies from Trent and Peak Archaeology

Following the talk there will also be an opportunity to look at a selection of combs from the 20th century.

After the talk there will also be an opportunity to see some of the finds from the excavations and chat further with the project team.

Box office 0115 846 7777 Friday 24 January – Monday 5 May Weston Gallery Exhibitions Manuscripts & Special Collections Admission free Chekhov is probably the most widely staged foreign dramatist in other cultures after Shakespeare. The British have a rich tradition of Chekhov performance from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day.

Exploring the theatre programmes, flyers and posters relating to Chekhov productions which can be found in the historic collections at The University of Nottingham, gives deep insight into British domestication of this foreign classic.

These materials begin to explain why this translated playwright seems so close to the British psyche and theatre-going public. The images used here are examples of British marketing for Chekhov plays.

Examining theatre ephemera shows how much the programme, in particular, has changed its function from being simple production information to providing cultural and historical contexts. It also shows how the marketing of Chekhov has responded to the changing perceptions of Russia in the theatre-going world and so, arguably, in society itself.

This exhibition has been jointly curated

by Cynthia Marsh (Emeritus Professor of Russian Drama and Literature) and Manuscripts and Special Collections at The University of Nottingham.

Secret Intelligence and Hidden Evidence Surprising Finds in The University of Nottingham’s Historic Collections Open until - 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.

Icebreaker Kraftwerk

Following their highly successful Apollo tour, Icebreaker are turning their focus on another contemporary icon – Kraftwerk.

Since their formation in 1970 the German group’s output has revolutionised music and influenced scores of musicians. For this project, composer, producer and sound-scapist J. Peter Schwalm uses tracks from a range of Kraftwerk albums to show off the group’s many different sounds – from early acoustic tracks to the by now iconic synthesized tunes. Visual artist Sophie Clements will produce the video for this work, using a combination of archive footage from the BFI and her own imagery. Responding to Peter's composition, she will touch on themes similar to those used in Kraftwerk's legendary visuals – technology, material, the environment. Her video work will make full use of dynamics, synchronisation and rhythm, all key factors in the success of the group’s visual language.

He has made eight appearances at The Proms, most recently in 2010 when he performed Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No 1. He has won numerous awards and prizes including the 2009 Gramophone Award for his recording of Britten’s works for piano and orchestra, as well as first prize at both the Naumburg International Competition (New York) and Clara Kaskil Competition.

You could have heard a pin drop. Steven Osborne’s power over the hall was absolute …the atmosphere was spellbound.

University Philharmonia Jonathan Tilbrook conductor Robert Upton piano Shostakovich Piano Concerto No.2 Beethoven Symphony No.3 in E flat ‘Eroica’ In comparison to his other works, Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No.2 is a superbly free, thoughtful composition. Written as a birthday present for his nineteen-year-old son, the second movement is the most well-known, an expressive movement which secures the work’s continuing popularity. The other two movements are both vibrant, and full of elegance and entertainment. Beethoven's Eroica changed the symphony forever, exploding the conventions of the genre with music of previously unimaginable force, scale and expressive intensity.

Haydn String Quartet in G major Op.76 no.1 Mozart String Quartet in D minor K.421 Mozart Clarinet Quintet in A major K.581 Regularly in demand throughout Europe and North America, The Revolutionary Drawing Room perform repertoire of the late 18th and early 19th Centuries - the period of the great European Revolutions - using period instruments to help bring the audience closer to the moment in which these works were written and performed.

Colin Lawson performs on the instrument for which the Clarinet Quintet was written, the basset clarinet in A, providing an opportunity to hear the extra low notes that Mozart originally composed for this piece. Haydn's first Op.76 quartet's outer movements are full of energy and musical interplay contrasted with an elegiac slow movement, and this work is partnered by Mozart's only mature quartet in the minor mode which gives it a special darkness and intensity.

Wendy Houstoun’s A Pact with Pointlessness

Residency Performance in Progress

A unique opportunity to see this new show before its UK premiere, A Pact with Pointlessness is a game of opposites, a play of discrepancies, an urgent text of chaos uniterupted by disturbing coherence. All at once, it is author. and cipher voicing everything and nothing - ghosted by old time patter, high altitude confusion, empty dramas, hyperlinked reality, breaking news, more breaking news and meaningless movement. It is an all or nothing kind of event. A do or die kind of affair.

You can watch it - or just listen to it.

Following this first public showing of A Pact with Pointlessness, there will be a post show discussion with Wendy, chaired by Paul Russ, Director of Dance4.

A Pact with Pointlessness, written & Performed by Wendy Houstoun, Co-produced by Lakeside Arts Centre, Nottingham with Dance4, The Nightingale Theatre Brighton, South Bank Centre, Jersey Arts Centre, Dance South East and DanceEast, with additional support using public funding by Arts Council England.

Exhausted and cold, she lights her last match to keep herself warm, and in the flame sees a vision of her beloved grandmother on the moon. Her grandmother lets down a ladder, and the girl climbs up, leaving behind her frozen body in the snow. In the epilogue, an astronaut lands on the moon and meets the Match Girl, but on attempting to leave, his rocket does not ignite. The match girl pulls a match and lights the rocket to help the astronaut return to earth.

Two years of Dan’s captured conversations with eel-catchers, horse breeders and young farmers are fused in this ethereal work of documentary dance theatre which gets to the heart of the fens – a beautiful, bleak and mysterious expanse of flat land.

Ours Was the Fen Country is a celebration of, and eulogy to, universal stories of rural communities that are fading from view; an exhilarating, poetic look at the inevitability of change from the voices of those who still know the old worlds.

Canham’s unadorned presence compels attention. Whatever it is that makes you want to watch somebody move, he’s got it.

Square Peg (UK) present

Rime Square Peg have adapted Coleridge’s epic poem, the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, taking the theme of the mariner’s life journey and his impact on those he meets along the way, and exploring the feelings and changing behaviours of a groom in the run up to his wedding. A Norseinspired soundtrack complements Square Peg’s beautiful and innovative storytelling which mixes acrobatics, human towers, aerial rope, Chinese pole acrobatics, precarious balancing, dynamic and detailed choreography in one awesome performance!

A thoroughly bold and sophisticated attempt to use circus skills as a vehicle for story-telling... Visuallystriking family entertainment The Herald

Taking the inimitable Glen Gould recording of Goldberg Variations by Johan Sebastian Bach as their inspiration, Artistic Director Hélène Blackburn and collaborator Pierre Lecours have created a playful, funny and cleverly quirky dance piece. At times the dancers echo the syncopation in the music with percussive clapping and red bouncing balls; and red noses and tiny red chairs become the source of competitive fun.

These are terrific dancers who perform with amazing energy against fabulous lighting design. A definite treat!

Except 'A Boy and his Box'

Multi-award winning international company Aracaladanza consistently delights audiences throughout Europe with their extraordinarily magical dance theatre made especially for children and families.

In Constellations, choreographer Enrique Cabrera has taken the brilliantly abstract work of artist Joan Miró as his starting point and repeatedly fills his imaginary blank canvas with vivid colours, shape and movement. Wonderful dance, ingenious puppetry, and terrific digital visuals are delivered with the trademark playfulness, creativity and style which mark this company out as one of the most accessible, and one of the best.

My 4 year old was captivated – as was I! Breathtakingly beautiful. My son commented ‘Wow it’s magic.’

Are you a philanthropist?

You could be...

Lakeside was founded on philanthropy. In fact the entire University was founded on philanthropy – it was Jesse Boot who gifted the wonderful park we all enjoy so much to the University and to the City.

Our buildings, our staff and our fabulous facilities are generously supported by the University, but we couldn’t do everything we do without donations and gifts from our supporters.

Please help us to continue to deliver more of what you love.

For a limited period, every £1 you give us can be matched by £1 from the Arts Council’s Catalyst fund, and if you’re a UK tax payer we can also benefit from Gift Aid which makes every £1 worth £1.25.

In return we promise that we will use the money raised to bring more great work for children and families to Lakeside, and to reach out to more children and young people with the opportunity to participate in the arts.

If you’re interested, and want to know more, have a look on-line at www.lakesidearts.org.uk/imaphilanthropist
