20.02.2020 - Catherine Opie in conversation with Jonathan D. Katz, Barbican Centre
Catherine Opie in conversation with Jonathan D. Katz, Barbican Centre
Catherine Opie is joined by art historian and academic Jonathan D. Katz to discuss her work. Opie's political portraiture and documentary photography has consistently reflected on her interest in gender, identity and community. From her breakthrough series Being and Having (1991), which portrayed her friends from the queer, leather and BDSM communities on the West Coast, to images that unpack the gloss of American culture, highlighting racial and class divides, Opie’s body of work is a searing portrait of contemporary America.

Glenn Ligon: Artist Talk, The Menil Collection, Texas
Glenn Ligon delivers an Artist Talk on occasion of the Menil’s recent acquisition of his work, Untitled (Orpheus and Eurydice). Ligon discusses the concept of America in his work, from his text-based neon sculptures that illuminate words, phrases, and sentences to his highly textured language-based paintings that draw their content from American history, popular culture, and literary works by writers such as James Baldwin, Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison, Gertrude Stein, and Jean Genet, among others.

15.01.2020 - Cecily Brown: Blenheim Palace
Cecily Brown: Blenheim Palace
In Spring 2020, Blenheim Art Foundation will unveil a major solo exhibition by Cecily Brown at Blenheim Palace. This will be the first exhibition in the Foundation’s programme to be comprised entirely of new work created in response to the Palace, and the first devoted to contemporary painting.
For this exhibition, Brown is developing a significant new body of work. This will respond to Blenheim Palace’s history as an English country estate and as the home to successive generations of the Spencer-Churchill family and their world-renowned permanent collection of paintings, tapestries and decorative arts.
Providing charged re-interpretations of pastoral imagery, hunting scenes and bucolic Victorian fairy painting, Brown—who has been based in the US for the last 25 years—offers an international perspective on her British heritage, critically and sensually exploring the nostalgic fantasies of the British stately home in the popular imagination. Brown’s works evoke a dream-like vision of the past, reflecting on the Palace’s artworks as symbols of power and influence, their images and narratives still informing perceptions of Britain today.
Exhibition dates: 23 April - 5 July 2020
