Staff Activities

Mark Hallett Director of Studies

This year saw Mark Hallett beginning a sustained programme of research on John Constable and J. M. W. Turner. This research, which itself feeds into the wider Generation Landscape project mentioned earlier in this report, is designed to have a number of outcomes.

Most importantly, it will lead to a major exhibition on Constable and Turner, to be held at Tate Britain in the winter of 2025–26. This display, which will be co-curated by Hallett, will mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of both artists, and will feature loans from across the world. It will also be accompanied by a scholarly catalogue, written by Hallett and co-curator Dr Amy Concannon.

This research on Constable and Turner is also designed to lead to a series of publications, including an ambitious new biographical study of Constable and an in-depth analysis of Turner’s famous print series, Liber Studiorum Hallett also plans to co-edit a book of scholarly essays on Constable’s letters. The year also saw Hallett write and co-create two films on the artist William Hogarth, which were produced as part of the Centre’s spring 2021 Public Lecture series, Artist in Focus: William Hogarth. He also worked with the distinguished curator Catherine Lampbert on an edited book of essays focusing on the portrait drawings of the artist Frank Auerbach. Hallett continued to serve on Tate Britain’s Advisory Council.

Sarah Victoria Turner Deputy Director for Research

Dr Turner went on parental leave from January to December 2020. On her return to the Centre, she embarked on researching, writing and recording the second series of the Sculpting Lives podcast with Jo Baring (Director of the Ingram Collection), with six episodes on historic and contemporary women sculptors scheduled for release in autumn 2021.

Working in collaboration with Dr Amy Tobin (Curator of Exhibitions, Events and Research at Kettle’s Yard and Lecturer in the History of Art, University of Cambridge) and Hammad Nasar (Senior Research Fellow, PMC), Dr Turner is developing an exhibition for Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge entitled Making New Worlds: Li Yuan-chia & Friends. Developed as an outcome of the PMC’s London, Asia research project, it will be accompanied by a catalogue and digital publication. It focuses on the extraordinary efforts and vision of the Chinese artist Li Yuan-chia to create the LYC Museum & Art Gallery in the village of Banks, astride Hadrian’s Wall, in the northwest of England between 1973 and 1982, and the impressive and far-reaching networks of artists he created in doing so.

During this period, Dr Turner also researched a chapter for the first monograph on the Bangladeshi-born, London-based sculptor Rana Begum, which will be published by Lund Humphries in September 2021.

Dr Turner was also invited to give a number of talks at virtual events outside the Centre, including at the Art Workers’ Guild. In addition she was a judge of the ARTiculation Prize, which encourages young people to access art history through a spoken word competition. Dr Turner is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a member of the Advisory Council of the Warburg Institute in London.

Martin Postle Deputy Director for Grants and Publications

Dr Postle’s research activities were centred principally on the completion of research and editing of the Centre’s online publication, Art and the Country House, which was launched in November 2020. In the spring of 2021, he began to undertake preliminary research on a projected catalogue raisonné of the oil paintings of Joseph Wright of Derby, to be published by the Paul Mellon Centre. Dr Postle continued to serve on the following committees and boards: the UK government’s Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest; International Advisory Board, The British Art Journal; the Council of the Attingham Trust; and Trustee of the Catalogue Raisonné of Works by Philip de László. In January 2020, Dr Postle joined the Board of Trustees of Strawberry Hill House, Twickenham.
