The Arts Society Haslemere begin their 2020 lectures on Tuesday, 21st January, with the intriguing talk entitled The Empty Chair from Van Gogh to Ai Weiwei’ by Angela Findlay. We are all familiar with Van Gogh’s chair from the National Gallery painting but Ai Weiwei was banned in his own country of China and is perhaps less well known to some. One of his works was the steel rods taken from houses which had collapsed due to earthquakes and were made into an amazing artwork to commemorate those who had died. Artists across the world have been using the humble chair as a conduit for profound ideas and the viewer can make different interpretations of the works they see. 2pm, Haslemere Hall.
