QUIET REVOLUTION A HAYWARD TOURING EXHIBITION

This international group exhibition of low-tech sculptural works brings together seven artists whose practices open out a playful, exploratory relationship with familiar objects and commonplace materials. United by a transformative approach to the banal, theirs is a ‘quiet revolution’, a series of open-ended and tentative proposals that sketch out different ways of looking at and experiencing our material world.

David Beattie (Ireland) takes found objects - including hula hoops and mirrors - to create makeshift scientific experiments which suggest our desire to capture and control natural phenomena; whilst Matt Calderwood (UK) introduces a slapstick humour in his counterbalanced and inherently unstable constructions.

Rubber, stitches and a twig, 2008 Margrét H Blöndel

Chris Fite-Wassilak in conversation with David Beattie.

Icelandic artist, Hreinn Fri∂finnsson, introduces a disarmingly simple poetry in his approach to materials and place which has perhaps informed the abstract plastic and string sculptures of his fellow countrywoman, Margrét H. Blöndal. Mitzi Pederson (USA) works with paper, concrete and wood to create explorations of gravity and form; Alice Channer (UK) approaches similar terrain using fashion and textiles. Joëlle Tuerlinckx (Belgium) uses the sparest of means to make us see and feel differently about the world around us.

Quiet Revolution has been curated by Chris Fite-Wassilak, winner of the first of three annual Hayward Touring Curatorial Open competitions which aim to support emerging and independent UK-based curators in realising innovative contemporary art exhibitions. The first Curatorial Open has been selected and developed in partnership with Milton Keynes Gallery and the Harris Museum & Art Gallery, Preston. A Hayward Touring exhibition from Southbank Centre.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue on sale from the gallery desk for £4.99

ART 06 DJANOGLY ART GALLERY SATURDAY 16 JANUARY SUNDAY 28 FEBRUARY ADMISSION FREE

NEW PHOTOGRAPHY: PAVILION COMMISSIONS Pavilion Commissions is an exhibition of new work by Frederico Câmara, Steffi Klenz, Stephen Vaughan and Tomoko Yoneda produced through the Pavilion Commissions 2009. Pavilion is a visual arts commissioning organisation that collaborates with artists to research and produce lens-based work which resonates with contemporary culture.

The exhibition has been curated in partnership with the Djanogly Art Gallery.

Brazilian artist Frederico Câmara takes an ethnographic approach to photography which is strongly informed by his experiences as an economic immigrant in the USA and United Kingdom. His new work extends his research into zoological environments, examining the cage as an embodiment of both scientific (environmental and sociological) and artistic ideas.

Through her photographic practice Steffi Klenz critically explores notions of place, boundaries and displacement in relation to ephemeral buildings and nomadic architectural structures. In her new work she re-examines the Naiku shrine, a Japanese Shinto shrine which is dismantled and re-built every twenty years.

Stephen Vaughan uses photography as a mode of enquiry within other areas of research including geology, cultural geography and histories of the land.

This series is part of a larger research enquiry looking at significant points on the tectonic map. It propels Vaughan’s earlier studies of the Earth’s primordial beginnings to the contemporary landscape of Urban Japan and the geologically unstable region of Shiretoko.

Tomoko Yoneda is primarily concerned with tracing history and collective memory. She photographs spaces, interiors and people that weave a thread allowing the viewer to experience what lies beyond the visual document. In her new work Yoneda focuses on human relationships in contemporary culture and the core elements of human interactions that form memories and affect political landscapes and history.

GALLERY TALK WEDNESDAY 10 FEBRUARY 6 - 7PM DJANOGLY ART GALLERY ADMISSION FREE A chaired ‘in conversation’ event at which the Pavilion commissioned artists will be in the gallery to talk about their work.

All the lectures and talks are free but space is limited so please book in advance by calling the Box Office on 0115 846 7777. If after booking you are unable to attend, please let us know so that we can offer the place to someone else.

WITHOUT FROM WITHIN

Taking as its subject the view through the window, this stunning exhibition looks at the way artists have treated the relationship between interior and exterior space and examines the development and variation of the motif in the work of major twentieth-century and contemporary British painters.

The modernist trope had its roots in the ground-breaking work of the Cubist and Fauve artists at the beginning of the last century. In challenging the traditional representation of space and of objects within it, Picasso and Braque created compositions which, portraying everyday, mundane subjects, subvert our perception of them and the space they inhabit. At the same time Henri Matisse explored the non-naturalistic properties of colour, producing emotive views of the interior and landscape beyond.

In Britain, the artistic revolution in Europe was greeted eagerly by those artists wishing to break with tradition, evident in the earliest works in the exhibition by the Camden Town and Bloomsbury Groups. The deceptively straightforward challenge to portray the dynamic tension “from the space, through the space, to the space” continued to provide artists with the opportunity to reflect developments and movements in twentieth-century art at home and abroad and to explore and extend their own visual repertoire.

Without from Within takes the viewer through the journey of these artistic movements as represented by leading figures such as Roger Fry, Paul Nash, Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Ivon Hitchens, David Hockney, Patrick Caulfield and Howard Hodgkin, and offers a rare opportunity to view their work in the context of some of their European contemporaries.

Without from Within has been curated for the Djanogly Art Gallery by Anne Goodchild, formerly Curator of Art at Museums Sheffield, and develops the theme of her exhibition The Absent Presence Graves Art Gallery 1991.

W.E. GLADSTONE THE GRAND OLD MAN IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE William Ewart Gladstone, who was Prime Minister of Britain and Ireland four times between 1868 and 1894, was in later life popularly known as the ‘Grand Old Man’. This exhibition, which marks the

bicentenary of his birth (29 December 1809), celebrates his longstanding Nottinghamshire associations through pictures, cartoons, letters and publications.

Having returned to Parliament as MP for Newark, after the Great Reform Act of 1832, Gladstone became closely involved with the Dukes of Newcastle of Clumber and their neighbours. This connection continued after Gladstone retired from his Newark seat in 1846.

As a trustee of the Newcastle Estate he played a role in the development of Nottingham Castle and The Park estate.

A direct link with the early history of the University of Nottingham is seen in an illustration of him taking part in the 1877 foundation ceremony of University College.

LUNCHTIME TALKS PERFORMING ARTS WORKSHOP 1PM - 2PM ADMISSION FREE A series of talks will be held to accompany the exhibition. Places are limited so please book your tickets with the Box Office on 0115 846 7777.

GLADSTONE: THE MAKING OF THE ‘PEOPLE’S WILLIAM’ Professor Chris Wrigley of the School of History traces Gladstone’s transformation from young Tory MP into the great Liberal statesman of lateVictorian Britain.

WEDNESDAY 10 MARCH 2010

GLADSTONE AND THE REFORMED POLITICAL WORLD OF 1832 Dr Philip Salmon, of the History of Parliament research project, takes a fresh look at Victorian conceptions of democracy, revealing what lay behind the election images of bribery and drunken mobs after 1832.

Ofer Falk, violin Rafael Rodes, violin Dorothy Vogel, viola Katherine Jenkinson, cello BEETHOVEN String Quartet in B flat, Op. 18 No.6 ZEMLINSKY String Quartet No.3 BRAHMS String Quartet No.3 Viennese composer Alexander von Zemlinsky composed his third string quartet in 1924 at the age of 53. His early works were influenced by Brahms; later works are stylistically closer to late Mahler and Bartók. Brahms’s final quartet opens with a cheerful hunting theme which re-emerges at the end of the work.

6.45pm Pre-concert talk by Philip Weller The concert finishes at approximately 9.20pm

HAYDN String Quartet in C, Op.54 No.2 TIPPETT String Quartet No.2 MENDELSSOHN String Quintet No.1 in A, Op.18 Tippett’s second string quartet was written in 1941 shortly after the completion of A Child of our Time.

Purcell’s influence is evident in the quartet’s rhythmic energy, while Tippett’s admiration of Beethoven is apparent from the fugal slow movement and concern for the work’s dramatic structure.

Mendelssohn composed his first string quintet at the age of 17 and it shares the exuberance of the Midsummer Night’s Dream Overture of the same year. He added the Intermezzo in 1832 as a poignant tribute to his friend violinist Eduard Rietz on his death from tuberculosis. Haydn’s Op.54/2 Quartet belongs to a set of six dedicated to the principal second violinist of his orchestra at the Esterháza court, a common practice for thanking musicians for their excellent work.

Malcolm Arnold’s well-loved English Dances, by turns tender and invigorating, are contrasted by Eric Whitacre’s profound and moving tone poem October. Recent music graduate Claire Game is the soloist in Pedro Iturralde’s joyous Pequeña Czarda (little dance). Fergal Carroll’s Winter Dances bring a touch of seasonal flavour in a work described as ‘a sparkling enchantment, a delight’. Finally, Adam Gorb’s marvellous recreation of Klezmer music is a tour-de-force, mixing satire, sentimentality, pathos and tango, ending in a riotous ‘knees-up’ for all concerned!

MATTHEW WADSWORTH LUTE/THEORBO & CAROLYN SAMPSON SOPRANO London was as diverse and multicultural in the early 1600s as it is today.

This programme takes the listener on a rich and colourful journey that embraces not only English culture, but that of European counterparts in Italy and France, as well as a few surprises along the way.

Together they create a mesmerising atmosphere of stories and songs as Sally Pomme Clayton draws on her extensive repertoire of tales to create a spellbinding performance. ‘irresistibly catchy tunes … Joglaresa’s imaginative use of improvisation creates an exciting air of authenticity … compulsive rhythmic energy … luxuriantly ornamental solos’ The Telegraph

Matthew Wadsworth and Carolyn Sampson’s eclectic programme draws on Robert Dowland’s ‘A Musicall Banquet’ and ‘A Varietie of Lute Lessons’, both published in 1610, as well as venturing back a few years to the masterpieces of John Dowland and Robert Johnson. The programme also includes works by Ferrabosco, Monteverdi, Kapsberger and Caccini.

‘Matthew Wadsworth really is a quite extraordinary musician, graceful, civilised and intelligent. He has an enormous ability to draw an audience into his own world’ Early Music Review ‘Carolyn Sampson is radiant, voluptuous and utterly captivating.’

Regular visitors and firm Lakeside favourites, internationally renowned cellist Colin Carr and pianist Thomas Sauer return with a programme of Romantic works which spans the gamut of emotions from Schumann’s folk-style inspired pieces to the rich maturity of Brahms’s last cello sonata.

Mendelssohn’s D major Sonata opens the concert in joyful mood. His Variationes Concertantes were written for his talented 14 year-old brother in 1829. Brahms’s second cello sonata was written for his friend Robert Hausmann whose generous tone enabled the cello to compete equally with the demanding piano part.

Commissioned for violinist Iso Briselli on his graduation from the Curtis Institute of Music in 1934, the restrained lyrical character of the first two movements was deemed a disappointment owing to the absence of virtuosity. In response, Barber wrote a fiendishly difficult perpetuum mobile finale full of humour and energy which Briselli then declared unplayable! Although less frequently performed than his other symphonies, Bruckner’s majestic sixth is suffused with memorable themes. The insistent rhythmic drive and powerful brass interjections that characterise the opening movement, the expansive solemnity of the Adagio, the unusually measured and brooding Scherzo, leavened by bright hunting motifs in the Trio, define a work of great thematic and architectural beauty.

ICEBREAKER Donnacha DENNEHY New Work - world premiere Gavin BRYARS Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet Philip GLASS Music with Changing Parts

A very special event as we welcome the internationally renowned contemporary music ensemble Icebreaker for its debut performance at Lakeside. Celebrating the University of Nottingham’s acquisition of the Icebreaker archive which will be used for teaching and research, the programme features two classic 20th century works. Gavin Bryars’s Jesus Blood, written in 1971, is heart-rending in its simplicity: a recording of a homeless man singing a simple melody is looped and overlaid with a rich palette of instrumental lines.

Music with Changing Parts is a seminal work for the early 1970s’ minimalist movement. Early performances lasted up to two hours; tonight’s performance is likely to be of about an hour’s duration. Audience members will be permitted to exit and re-enter the auditorium during the performance.

Icebreaker has been at the forefront of the contemporary music scene for twenty years and has commissioned numerous new works. This evening’s concert will feature the premiere of a new work by leading Irish composer Donnacha Dennehy.

This concert features two of the most well-known and loved works of the chamber repertory, Mozart’s ‘Kegelstatt’ trio for clarinet, viola and piano and Schubert’s attractive adagio ‘Notturno’ for piano trio. In truly Romantic Russian vein, Glinka added a preface to the score of his Trio Pathetique, originally

composed for clarinet, bassoon and piano but heard tonight with cello, ‘I have known love only through the unhappiness it causes’. The concert concludes with the rarely performed Sextet by Hungarian composer Ernö Dohnányi. Written in 1935, the work marries pianistic brilliance with a harmonic style reminiscent of Brahms.

Tragedy, reverie, and the picturesque portrayal of London in its urban and pastoral glory abound in Vaughan Williams’s first purely symphonic work. In the first half of the concert, Ravel’s charming suite of children’s pieces is paired with Eric Satie’s surrealist clash of high and low art; his thoroughly entertaining ballet score to ‘Parade’.

EGGNER TRIO Christoph Eggner, piano Georg Eggner, violin Florian Eggner, cello BEETHOVEN Piano Trio Op.70 No.1 ‘Ghost’ SHOSTAKOVICH Piano Trio No.1 in C minor RAVEL Piano Trio in A minor On their first visit to Lakeside the Eggner brothers captivated the audience with their musical energy and artistry. This concert programme further explores a wide emotional range. Beethoven’s Piano Trio Op.70 No.1 earned its nickname from the eerie second movement.

Shostakovich’s first piano trio written at the age of 17 was dedicated to Tanya Glivenko with whom Shostakovich was in love. There is a romantic intensity to the work but it nonetheless introduces elements of the grotesque which were to become more prominent in his compositional maturity.

Ravel’s Piano Trio was completed just as war broke out in 1914. The colouristic work draws inspiration from Malay verse forms and Basque folk music written within a highly complex musical structure.

CIMARRON This Colombian sevenpiece wowed audiences at WOMEX in Seville last year, with a spectacular, super-tight performance of joropo music and dance. Hailing from the vast Orinoco plains which stretch from Colombia into Venezuela, joropo is a fast traditional rhythm played on harp, bandola and cuatro accompanied by bass, cajon and maracas.

Cimarrón fire up flawless virtuosity with a heartstopping sense of drama, incredible!

Fauré’s Requiem is the central work in this programme of contemplative choral music. Enduringly popular, Fauré’s setting is deliberately restrained and intimate, avoiding all operatic pretence.

The first half of the concert is dedicated to the music of Peteris Vasks, one of Latvia’s most influential composers. Son of a Baptist minister, Vasks explores themes of spiritual and global importance through music of profound simplicity and lyrical beauty. Stylistically, Dona Nobis Pacem inhabits the same ethereal sound world as that of Górecki and Pärt’s choral writing, in which essentially uncomplicated musical ideas, described by Vasks as ‘simple, honest sounds’, are developed into intensely emotional climaxes. John Keys performs the powerful and uplifting Te Deum for solo organ to complete the first half.

Scattered explores our relationship with water and how it surrounds us in different forms throughout our lives: in birth water ties us to life and on a more elemental scale, in ice, floods and tides, it can sweep our lives away. Scattered delves into the majesty and savagery of water, a fundamental force in our lives as seven dancers plunge into an ocean, wrestle a raging tide and slide on an avalanche to a frozen landscape of arctic beauty.

Performed on a huge curved floor which disappears skywards, Scattered uses projection technology, daring dancing plus aerial harnesses and bungees to create an extraordinary world in which the dancers move seamlessly in, on and through the image.

BEATING BERLUSCONI! Fresh from ecstatic reviews and a huge word-of-mouth following in the NorthWest, Paul Duckworth brings this lump in your throat comedy to the rest of the UK. Despite threats from his wife and bank manager, in May 2005 middle-aged Kenny Noonan travels to Istanbul to watch Liverpool play AC Milan in the Champions’ League final. He carries the scars of thirty years as a Red - Heysel, Hillsborough, Alex Ferguson - and of living in a city which has been demonised.

Beating Berlusconi! is a story of love and friendship, of defeat and of victory. It is also based on the bizarre true story of a real Liverpool fan who ended up sitting next to Silvio Berlusconi at the Attaturk Stadium.

Beating Berlusconi! is the hilarious story of one man’s attempt to rediscover his belief in himself, his club, his city and his class.

TELLING TALES

BOX OFFICE: 0115 846 7777

A first project from East Midlands Children’s Theatre Consortium of Lakeside Arts Centre, Déda and Spark Children’s Arts Festival, Telling Tales was created by two acclaimed international choreographers of work for children and young people – Enrique Cabrera (Aracaladanza) and Hélène Blackburn (Cas Public).

‘My daughter and her friend came …and I laughed and clapped as much as them!’ Lakeside audience member

A playful introduction to dance, Telling Tales takes a fresh look at two wellloved children’s stories, alongside two new dance pieces. Look out for a mischievous version of the famous Hare and The Tortoise story; a dressing-up game involving a squabble over the biggest overcoat you’ve ever seen; and a speed version of The Golden Goose involving only 2 dancers but a cast of thousands. In the finale, Sea of Clothes, shirts and skirts take on a dancing life of their own!

‘TAJ MAHAL’ A LOVE STORY! Directed by Vina Ladwa Guest choreographer Kali Dass Music arranged and composed by Dmitry Fedotov The hidden stories of the greatest love affair of all time are brought to life with a modern twist through a Kathak dance drama by UK based Manushi Dance Company. Kathak is an Indian Classical dance characterised by story telling, ankle bells, ‘chakkars’ (pirouettes) and the vitality of the footwork which weaves percussive rhythms.

The Taj Mahal is an inspiring place that takes us back to the Mogul period during the 16th century. A white marble tomb built in 1631-48 in Agra, seat of the Mugal Empire as a tribute to a beautiful woman and as a monument for enduring love, by Shah Jehan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal. The Mogul period is best known for its Hindustani and Persian music influence in North India and Kathak dances were a great favourite among the kings. This production explores the timeless relationship between Shah Jehan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal, from the moment they met to the present day.

Featuring: Hetain Patel, Asmita Lawrence, Praful Ladwa, Louise Clements, Shane Shambhu, Bisakha Sarker and Kalidass.

Produced in partnership with Lakeside, NAAC and Manushi

Painter Toby Jennings invites you to join a practical workshop exploring ways of representing exteriors from the interiors of buildings through tone, form and colour. Using the exhibition Without from Within as a starting point, Toby will lead participants through the painting processes he employs in his own work, with reference to those in the show.

Vanessa Larmond has a passion for basketry, a love for the handmade and the processes, time and persistence needed to master a skill. Working only with simple hand tools and materials, she keeps the environmental impact of her work as low as possible. In this workshop participants will use traditional basketry techniques, reclaimed and found wood and organically grown, plant-dyed cotton to produce delicate woven structures which can be worn.

THE TWILIGHT ZONE FOR TEACHERS At the end of a long day, come to Lakeside to relax in our big sofas, see some art, drink coffee and share creative ideas. Join Lakeside’s Education Staff for an informative guide to what Lakeside can do to complement your work across the curriculum.

art LAKESIDE ART investigator DO YOU WANT TO BE AN ART INVESTIGATOR?

The Art Investigator experience is intended to celebrate the natural curiosity of children, encouraging them to make the most of the stimulating exhibitions at Lakeside, and express their personal responses to the work on show.

The Art Investigator activity bags may be borrowed in the Djanogly Art Gallery by 7 to 12 year olds and used with adult supervision while looking at an exhibition. To help children familiarise themselves with the exhibition, there is an etch-a-sketch, a magnifying glass, some rubber stamps, paper, scissors and pencils in each bag, as well as an activity sheet with questions to encourage children to enquire about the art.

Once the bags have been used and returned to the gallery counter, every Art Investigator may claim their special stickers and badge.
