Justin Mortimer’s canvases have been described as history painting for the present age, fragmented scenes hinting at social and political upheaval, and detailing unspecified acts of human cruelty and suffering. In his recent work, these scenes are typically enacted in an indeterminate space, often in scrub woodland at night illuminated by the flash of a camera or the sulphurous glow of a flare. His subjects are never literal or explicit but operate on a viscerally emotional and psychological level, creating a general aura of malaise and foreboding. Frequently this darkly sinister mood is given a sharper edge through the introduction of an incongruous detail such as a cluster of party balloons.
Academically trained, and for the early part of his career a successful portraitist, Mortimer is one of a growing number of international contemporary artists – especially from eastern Europe – who have reinvigorated the tradition of figurative painting.
see pages 11-12 for screen printing, drypoint printing, iPad and creative writing workshops linked to this exhibition and those on pages 4-11.
His imagery is gleaned from the internet and digitally collaged to create the starting point for his compositions. In this respect, the work has an affinity with that of Richard Hamilton (running concurrently in Gallery 2, p.4) who in his later years readily embraced digital media as a vital element of popular culture. This is the first solo exhibition of Justin Mortimer’s work to be held in a public gallery, and has been organised in collaboration with Ben Tufnell (Parafin, London www.parafin.co.uk)

saturday 7 March – sunday 31 May 2015
Djanogly Art Gallery (Gallery 2)
This exhibition focuses on Richard Hamilton’s career as a printmaker. Dubbed the forefather of Pop art, the themes and concerns of Hamilton’s paintings and drawings were also pursued in his graphic works on which he collaborated with some of the greatest master printers of the twentieth century. The selection of 43 works represents the full range of his technical accomplishments from traditional engraving, etching and aquatint, to screen print in the 1960s, and ending with the newly emergent digital media embraced by the artist in his later years. His appropriation of imagery from popular culture is reflected in such early prints as Adonis in Y fronts 1963. Wider contemporary and political issues provide the subjects of the Swingeing London suite and a number of works concerning the troubles in Ireland. An exhibition organised and toured by Barbican International Enterprises.

Djanogly Art Gallery
Admission free
Emily Allchurch uses photography to recreate old master paintings and prints, creating contemporary narratives. She has reworked compositions by Peter Bruegel the Elder, Utagawa Hiroshige, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Adolphe Valette and James Abott McNeill Whistler. Her works are seamless digital collages, using hundreds of photographs, taken in urban environments today. The complex photographic images have a resonance with place, history and culture and deal with the passage of time and the changes to a landscape, fusing contemporary life with a sense of history. The exhibition will showcase Allchurch’s celebrated Tokyo Story and Tokaido Road series, which pay homage to the 19th-century Japanese printmaker Hiroshige. Produced as lightboxes, they reveal not only the changing nature of the topography but also the changes to Japanese society and customs. They will be shown alongside rarely seen original Hiroshige woodblock prints. Also on show is a selection of works with an urban European theme. This includes a recreation of Whistler’s Nocturne: Blue and Silver Cremorne Lights and works inspired by Piranesi’s 18th-century etchings of urban fantasies. Allchurch will also show her newly commissioned work for Manchester Art Gallery based on Albert Square, Manchester by French Impressionist Valette, creating a dialogue between the Edwardian and contemporary city. A new artwork inspired by Breugel’s The Tower of Babel will feature at the Djanogly. Depicting the architecture and buildings of London, this work will inspire a series of workshops for families and young people throughout the exhibition exploring the role of urban areas and architecture in our lives. Based on an exhibition on tour from Manchester Art Gallery with additional works produced by the Djanogly Gallery. Image right: Tokyo Story 3: Night Harbour (after Hiroshige) 2011

WellIngton’s caMPaIgns In tHe PenInsular Wars anD at Waterloo
Image: napoleon bonaparte as first consul, from sloane, Life of Napoleon Bonaparte
The Napoleonic Wars, which were fought between Britain, France and their allies from 1803, came to an end with the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. This exhibition, timed to coincide with the bicentenary of Waterloo, reflects on the conflict in its later stages, from the Peninsular Wars in Spain and Portugal in 1808 to the end of hostilities seven years later. Drawing on material from The University of Nottingham’s collections, the exhibition assesses the nature and impact of the war and its consequences. The displays describe key moments in the conflict, chart the rise to prominence of military commanders such as the Duke of Wellington and reveal Nottinghamshire’s contribution to the war effort. The exhibition also explores the wider legacy of the wars. In Spain, British forces fought alongside those seeking liberation from foreign conquest. In Britain, the return of peace was accompanied by new demands for political and social change. The exhibition has been jointly curated by Richard Gaunt (Associate Professor of History in the School of Humanities) and Manuscripts and Special Collections at The University of Nottingham.

‘hard pounding gentlemen!’ the tactics of Waterloo 8 July Professor Charles Esdaile from the University of Liverpool re-considers Wellington’s command of the Allied forces and the tactics which delivered his ‘immortal victory’. commemorating Waterloo 1815 - 2015 5 August For years Britons commemorated the Battle of Waterloo in a myriad of ways. However, after Wellington’s death in 1852, official acts of public commemoration declined as the legacy of Waterloo was both contested and politicised. In this talk, Dr Russ Foster, a specialist on Wellington, considers why this remains the case to this day.

The mass destruction during the Reformation and later of devotional items made from precious metals, means that the material evidence for medieval piety in the British Isles is scant. Accidental losses found through the agency of metal detectors have brought to light some of the most intimate survivals of religious practice in the form of amuletic pendants and jewellery reliquaries. This talk will share a number of recent finds with the audience and reflect on their significance. James Robinson is Keeper of Art and Design at the National Museum of Scotland and previously curated the Treasures of Heaven: Saints, Relics and Devotion in Medieval Europe exhibition at the British Museum. There will be the opportunity to handle some of the medieval collections from the University Museum after the talk.

The graphic novel Three, set in ancient Sparta, tells the story of three Helots (the Spartan slave-class) who run foul of their Spartan masters and go on the run. Its writer Kieron Gillen (Young Avengers, The Wicked + The Divine) was keen to explore historically authentic aspects of Spartan society usually ignored in popular representations of the Greek warriors, such as the recent graphic novel/film 300. Join Kieron and his historical consultant, Prof. Stephen Hodkinson, as they discuss their collaboration in order to create a dramatic story that exposes the soft underbelly of the oncemighty Spartans and provides the long-neglected Helots with a myth of their own.

The ancient Greeks were fascinated by the culture of Sparta, the city that produced such ferocious warriors, and told many stories about their bizarre customs and witty sayings. In this workshop, comics-writer Kieron Gillen and poetry-comics creator Chrissy Williams, assisted by historian Stephen Hodkinson, will introduce you to some of these stories and help you re-tell them yourself in comic-strip form. No experience or drawing skills necessary: stickfigures and collage of existing images will be among the techniques covered.

In April 2011, Norwegian-born/ Copenhagen-based saxophonist Marius Neset released his debut album Golden Xplosion which led to the saxophonist and composer becoming one of the most talked about newcomers on the European jazz scene. Described by Terje Mosnes (Dagbladet) as ‘the most talented Norwegian saxophonist since Jan Garbarek,’ he has continued to dazzle audiences across Europe with his exemplary technique, energetic creativity, imagination and virtuosity on tenor and soprano saxophones, as well as his brilliance as a composer of intricate, compelling music.

MAhsA & MArJAn vAhDAt Sisters Mahsa and Marjan Vahdat are two brave and inspiring vocalists. Accompanying themselves on plucked setar and frame drum, their voices interweave in a magical web of sound which had the audience transfixed at last year’s WOMAD festival. What’s all the more remarkable given their international acclaim, is that under Iranian Islamic law they are prohibited from performing publicly at home. This concert is part of Songlines Encounters Festival On Tour 2015. Songlines Encounters Festival is cocurated by Songlines magazine and Ikon Arts Management.

Award-winning journalist, writer and broadcaster, Jay Rayner has been a restaurant critic for over a decade, written reviews of well over 700 establishments, and if there is one thing he’s learnt it is that people like reviews of bad restaurants. No, scratch that. They adore them, feast upon them like starving vultures who have spotted fly-blown carrion out in the bush. In My Dining Hell, Jay examines our love affair with lousy reviews, reads from accounts of some of the most excruciating nights out he’s ever had and looks at the worst reviews his own work has ever received. A hugely entertaining show in the company of the man recently voted the best food and drink journalist in Britain. Suitable for 14+ (may include some strong language)
