WELC OME Our exciting programme of exhibitions, events and workshops offering a challenging mix, to inspire, support, entertain and engage.

The exhibition programme headlines with Dressed to Impress a British Museum Partnership Exhibition, which explores the intricate accessories worn by Japanese men during the Edo period (1615-1868). The exhibition will feature items from WMA’s collections. Safe European Home? (Clash fans may recognise the title) in the main gallery showing the pioneering work of Damian and Delaine Le Bas. On a Night Like This in the studio is an exhibition of paintings, prints, drawings and 3D constructions by Father and daughter artists, Gary and Bambi Goodman.

Looking forward to the end of the year the popular WMA biennial OPEN returns.

It offers all those within our community an exciting opportunity to exhibit in our amazing gallery space. The exhibition is open to anyone who lives or works in East or West Sussex, and amateur or professional artists of all ages are welcome to submit work.

Join our archaeologist James Sainsbury on one of his walks through the scenic Sussex downs. Starting with a walk on Cissbury Ring, explore the 6000 year history of Worthing’s highest hill. The series of walks will explore Neolithic flint mining to Iron Age ramparts, Roman farms and WWII defences.

We continue with our programme of redisplaying to collections in the permanent galleries. The bespoke digital displays in the archaeology gallery has proven a huge success with our visitors. The displays contain interactive digital map of the known archaeological finds and sites in Sussex,

fantastic aerial footage of some of our most important local sites. Redisplaying of the Roman cases is next on the agenda.

The second phase of the costume trail is proving very popular, from feedback we know that it is being enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. Still plenty of time to do the trail which continues until Summer 2018.

Looking to the future we announced ambitious plans to redevelop the museum.

Let The Light In will unwrap the layers of the past 100 years and show off its amazing original architectural features. Opening more of the museum building to collection display, exhibitions and education.

Check out our new website and hear the curators talk about the museum’s amazing collections, as well as viewing details on all upcoming exhibitions, events, workshops and more!

With so much on offer, we look forward to welcoming you to WMA - whether it’s to visit an exhibition, join a workshop or browse around the galleries, we can’t wait to welcome you and don’t forget to check out our shop with a unique collection of cards

by local artists and gifts for you to buy.

Gerry Connolly WMA Curator

P ER M A N E N T C O L L E C T I O N S Worthing Museum & Art Gallery holds one of the most significant costume collections in the UK, as well as notable collections in fine and decorative arts, social history, toys and dolls and archaeology. There are around 30,000 pieces in the costume collection alone, Princess Amelia’s slippers and Queen Victoria’s underwear being just two examples.

WMA holds over a thousand dolls, and an ever growing toy collection. Some of the dolls are very unusual, such as the Westwood ‘fertility doll’. We also have fine examples by many of the major makers from Jumeau to Meech and Bru to Pierotti. We have bears of every shape and size, games and puzzles dating back to the nineteenth century, and an enthralling collection of children’s books.

The recent Colin Mears Bequest of children’s books

and associated material has helped to make this collection one of the best in the country.

Worthing was not only where Oscar Wilde wrote The Importance of Being Earnest, it was also the site of major riots in the 1880s, a centre for smuggling in the 18th and early 19th centuries and has the only pier in the country to have been blown-up, blown down and burned down.

In spite of this the pier is still standing!

Our enormous collections of local material include photographs, ephemera and threedimensional objects offering key insight into our local social history.

Collections in Bloom Extended until Saturday 28th April 2018

Floral expression through painting, drawing, ceramics, costume and textiles from within the collections.

This exhibition is an indulgent display of items cherry-picked from across the collections that have taken inspiration simply from flowers. The selection ranges from the most important and significant pieces to the unusual and bizarre. This eclectic display not only celebrates the endless wealth of inspiration that artists and craftspeople have taken from flowers, but also highlights the diversity within the museum’s collection.

MAIN GA L L E R Y

Safe European Home? (past, present, future)

Saturday 12th May to Saturday 13th October 2018 “I’m literally putting Gypsies on the map”, Damian Le Bas would say of his cartographic representations of Europe. Although seen from a Roma, Gypsy, Traveller perspective this ongoing project Safe European Home? which Damian and his wife Delaine have been showing throughout Europe since 2011 encompasses their broader protest against the phantom of fascism they believe to be stalking the continent.

The title itself is taken from a Clash song, a band well known for taking an active antifascist stance.

Refusing to be history-blind, the pioneering work of Damian and Delaine Le Bas serves

as a timely wake-up call to remind us that the human soul has no borders.

First shown outside the parliament building in Vienna in 2011 Safe European Home? comes back to the artists home town in Worthing. Tragically Damian Le Bas died unexpectedly on 9th December 2017.

This exhibition serves as a tribute to this extraordinarily talented, inventive and uncompromising artist whose passion, spirit and revolutionary commitment lives on through his work. The journey continues.

Also on show will be archive material from the Worthing museum and work by Alex Michon and Julia Horbaschk.

Saturday 26th May & Saturday 21st July 11.30am (Free event)

Artist, writer and director of the Transition Gallery in Hackney, Alex Michon will be talking about the work on show with wider insights into the work of Damian and Delaine Le Bas.

Thursday 21st June 6.30pm (£7.50 - booking required) Costume as Activator...clothes Artist Alex Michon who designed ranges of clothing for The Clash explains how clothing can be an important cultural signifier.

Saturday 28th July 11.30am (Free event)

Photographer Julia Horbaschk and curator Emma Walder discuss the exhibition focusing on the story behind the painting and photography in the show. Julia will talk about her body of work “Labour of Love” - how it came about, inspirations, techniques and its context within the exhibition and the current times.

Fans Unfolded

Continues until Saturday 14th April 2018 Showcasing fans from the museum’s collection, this exhibition places a fashion accessory which is sometimes forgotten firmly in the spotlight. A fan can hardly be considered a necessity, especially in the British climate, however they were once as much a part of ladies’ fashion attire as a handbag. Not only a means to keep cool, a

fan complemented the dress and the wearer.

The design of a fan has also been used as a means of sharing news, social gossip or political propaganda and as such, is a comment on the social scene of the day.

This exhibition explores the art, language and craftsmanship of the fan, interposed with items from the museum’s art collection which reflect the period in which each fan was used.

netsuke and Japanese men’s fashion A British Museum Partnership Exhibition Saturday 28th April to Saturday 25th August 2018 Dressed to impress: netsuke and Japanese men’s fashion is a British Museum Partnership Exhibition, which explores the intricate accessories worn by Japanese men during the Edo period (1615-1868).

Netsuke are a form of Japanese miniature sculpture that were primarily functional, but evolved into an important art form in Japan. They were used by men as toggles to fasten tobacco and medicine pouches to the belts of their kimonos. Men of all classes of society used netsuke, but particularly merchants, who wanted to demonstrate their style and financial status through their fashion accessories.

This exhibition features five netsuke, chosen from over 2,300 netsuke in the British Museum’s collection. The beauty of these objects is in their individuality, and is reflected in the variety of the netsuke on show; a Chinese couple playing a flute, a goldfish, a turtle, a sleeping rat, and a Chinese boy holding a lion mask. In addition to the group of netsuke, an inro (a case for holding small objects), a sword, and smoking accessories will also be on display.

The exhibition places the netsuke and other objects in context with a bespoke male kimono to demonstrate how they were worn as a complete outfit in the 18th century.

This exhibition is generously supported by the Dorset Foundation.

On a Night Like This Gary Goodman and Bambi Goodman

Continues until Saturday 30th June 218 Father and daughter artists, Gary and Bambi Goodman, will be exhibiting their paintings, prints, drawings and 3D constructions in the Studio Gallery.

This is a fabulous opportunity to see a unique show of two artists who happen to be father and daughter. They have both exhibited independently in many places around the world, including the US, Germany, Norway and Estonia, and their work has also appeared together at Wishless Gallery in Tokyo as well as at Studio One Gallery in London.

Their work is unique; bold, colourful and expressive, unbothered by artistic selfconsciousness and politeness, each bringing their individual aesthetic to their creative output. Girls’ hearts beat in their breasts under kimonos, cowboy boots scuff dusty roads, horses run crazy, whilst saucy dogs prowl and sniff. Settings range from weird folky Mexican chapels to Shinto shrines.

All are welcome to attend a free reception on Saturday 10th February during which Gary will be reading some of his poetry.

Further events and workshops relating to On a Night Like this will be taking place also, details of which can be found on the WMA webpages.

Please see the Workshop and events calendar for workshops related to this exhibition

A touring exhibition from Leasingstede Museum Guest curated by Jane Williams

Saturday 7th July to Saturday 24th November 2018 Way over in the West Country, there’s an idiosyncratic folk museum in the fictitious village of Leasingstede, which happens to have a shared history with this town.

Image: Rope Jug by Jane Williams

An ancestor of its founder was the well-known local character, “Figgy” Nottrowe, and there are other surprising links between Leasingstede Museum and Worthing, which can be discovered in this touring exhibition of curiosities, rural tools, archaeological treasures and anything else that’ll fit in the van.

OPEN 18 Saturday 3rd November 2018 - Saturday 30th March 2019 The popular WMA biennial OPEN returns for another year. It offers all those within our community an exciting opportunity to exhibit within a distinguished gallery space.

Submitting work to this exhibition is open to anyone who lives or works in East or West Sussex, and amateur or professional artists of all ages are welcome to submit up to three pieces. Entry fees apply.

The criteria for the selection will be to choose a fair and representative mixture on the basis of quality and variety. OPEN18 has no themes so the subject matter is completely open to artistic interpretation!

We encourage applicants to complete our application form, available on the WMA website and available from the museum reception, where applicants can also make cash payments. Please see the Conditions of Entry on the entry form for further details, key dates, and any restrictions as to the type of work we are able to consider and exhibit.

Coast Ed is an exciting and inspiring museum education programme for schools in line with the national curriculum.

Breathtaking plans to transform Worthing Museum and Art Gallery Bold plans could see the museum become a national centre for costume research. It holds one of the most significant collections in the UK with over 30,000 items most of which are stored due to lack of display space.

Much of the conservation work on the collection takes place behind closed doors but this will be shown to the public in a new glass walled area under the proposal.

Head of Culture Amanda O’Reilly said; “We’ve called this plan LET THE LIGHT IN because that’s exactly what it does. It opens up so much more of the museum and gallery enabling us to put more of our collections on display and expand our new education programme.

“We are particularly excited by the proposal for a centre of excellence for costume, trading on our fantastic collection. We will be able to work with today’s designers,

fashion students, makers, TV researchers, and costume historians to add real value to the museum and make it a nationally significant cultural destination.�

Paul Appleton partner of architects Allies and Morrison said; “The Worthing Museum and Gallery is a splendid Edwardian building which, in recent years, has hidden many of its interior charms behind layers of plasterboard. Its fabulous collection has never quite been matched by the spaces in which they are displayed.

LET THE LIGHT IN will reveal the character of the building and make the museum simpler to navigate encouraging visitors to return. The new garden entrance and courtyard cafe on Richmond Road will ensure that the museum takes its place, once again, as an important part of the cultural life of the town.�

COSTUME TRAIL UNTIL SUMMER 2018

Each of the costumes on display throughout the trail, which has been funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund with support from the South East Museums Development Fund, reveals a piece of history. The tarlatan walking dress, produced in 1845, is the oldest on the trail and has been displayed at the sea-side Pavilion Theatre owing to its seaweed and coral-like pattern. Other items on the trail include a 1915 homemade three-piece day dress, two wedding dresses, a nurse’s uniform and three evening dresses.

Complementing the trail is a 1932 Chanel evening dress made of blue silk tulle with small matching sequins, currently on loan from the Victoria and Albert Museum, to which it was given by Loelia, Duchess of Westminster. The dress, as with many of Coco Chanel’s designs, inspired mass-produced copies, one of which is on display alongside the Chanel dress in the museum.

Working in collaboration with local community interest group Men In Sheds, a Secret Gallery has also been installed within the museum as part of the update. The gallery features a series of wardrobe-style doors which can be opened to reveal artwork inspired by the museum’s costume collection.

Creative Waves Community Arts, local school children, college students and community groups have similarly been involved, creating artwork and decorating cases on the trail as well as within the museum galleries and garden.

Mapping the Trail

Follow the trail using the costume trail map available from the museum welcome desk, Connaught Theatre, Pavilion Theatre or download a copy from our website www.worthingmuseum.co.uk

Saxon Day

Sat 28th April, 10am / Worthing Museum & Art Gallery Join us at Worthing Museum for four free talks throughout the day on Anglo-Saxon Britain, given by the Engliscan Gesithas group, plus demonstrations of Saxon costume, weaponry and lifestyles by the Weorod historical group!

~ALL FREE TO ATTEND~ In partnership with Gesithas Engliscan, Weorod and The South Downs Society

AR C H A E O L O G Y

Walks Join our archaeologist and historian James Sainsbury for the second year of walks in our beautiful local countryside - with stunning views guaranteed (weather depending!).

James will be bringing along archaeological items from the museum collections that will be available for handling on the walks.

The walks are graded by difficulty - some involve more climbing than others.

It is advisable to bring water and a lunch to the walks. Dogs are welcome on a lead. £5/person, pre-booking essential.

For details email james.sainsbury@adur-worthing.gov.uk Saturday 2nd June - Cissbury Ring (moderate difficulty) Explore the 6000 year history of Worthing’s highest hill, and the country’s second largest hill fort. From Neolithic flint mining to Iron Age ramparts and WWII defences, Cissbury is one of the real jewels in Worthing’s crown.

Saturday 16th June - Chanctonbury (moderate difficulty) Perhaps the most famous Sussex landmark, Chanctonbury Ring has fascinated locals and tourists alike for centuries.

We will explore the rich archaeological landscape at the site, including cross-ridge dykes, burial mounds and of course the Ring itself, which contains not one but two Roman temples!

Saturday 30th June - Burpham (hard difficulty) The small village of Burpham has a long and fascinating history stretching back to the early Bronze Age. We will explore the Anglo-Saxon fortifications alongside the beautiful early Norman church, before heading off onto the Downs where we will see a real palimpsest of archaeological remains.

Saturday 7th July - Highdown Hill (easy difficulty) Highdown Hill dominates the coastal plain, with views from the Isle of Wight to the Seven Sisters. People have been drawn to this eminence since the Stone Age, with archaeological finds from all eras discovered at the site.

Perhaps the most famous are the remains of over 200 Anglo-Saxon settlers, who were buried with rich grave goods - some of which will be brought along for handling. This is a shorter walk with a moderate climb to the top of the hill.

AR CHAEOL OGY Saturday 28th July - Clapham & Church Hill (moderate difficulty) Clapham contains one of the last truly ancient woodlands in the area which hides a plethora of undisturbed archaeological remains. We will explore the woods before heading along the ridgeline to Church Hill, the site of a 6500 year old flint-mining complex.

Saturday 11th August - Arundel Park (hard difficulty) On the final walk in the series we will traverse the rolling hills of Arundel Park. Created in the early Norman period by the Earls of Arundel, the lack of inhabitants and agriculture means that the Park is rich in archaeological remains, including an important later Iron Age-Roman transition settlement. We will also visit the enigmatic “War Dyke”, from where we can see the whole Arun Valley and the ever-present Highdown Hill along the coast.

This walk will involve some steep ascents and descents throughout.

Saxon Sussex - Highdown to Hastings Friday 27th & Saturday 28th April Saxon Church Walks Fri 27th April, 9.30am / Sompting Church Led by Peter Harris Visit three Saxon churches near Worthing – Sompting, Botolphs and Coombes. In association with The South Downs Society.

Saxon Day Sat 28th April, 10am / Worthing Museum & Art Gallery Join us at Worthing Museum for four free talks throughout the day on Anglo-Saxon Britain, given by the Engliscan Gesithas group, plus demonstrations of Saxon costume, weaponry and lifestyles by the Weorod historical group!

Looking ahead - Archaeology talks

Due to the popularity of our first full lecture programme last year James will be running a modified selection of talks in the autumn - check the next What’s On guide or our website for details later this year!
