Poussin and the Dance

9 October 2021 – 2 January 2022

National Gallery, London

Tambourines shake, wine spills, and half-naked figures whirl across the canvas in these paintings of revelry, dance and drama that are brought together in this first exhibition dedicated to Poussin and dance.

Poussin’s paintings of dance are unique. He brings to life the classical world of gods and mortals with wild and riotous movement but, the chaos on the canvas does not reflect the meticulous and inventive process that allowed him to capture bodies in motion.

In this exhibition, Poussin’s paintings and drawings of dance will be shown alongside the antique sculpture he studied, inviting you to trace the evolution of his ideas from marble to paper to paint.

Poussin’s working methods will be fully revealed with a reconstruction of his wax figurines, which the artist manipulated into different compositions, underscoring his role not only as painter of dance, but as choreographer in his own right.

Exhibition organised by the National Gallery, London and the Getty Museum, Los Angeles.

artists working today, Gupta’s multidisciplinary practice encompasses a wide range of media
and processes, from text, sculpture, video, photography, and sound which poetically explores
physical and ideological boundaries and how, as individuals, we come to feel a sense of
isolation or belonging. Shilpa Gupta’s new commission opens in The Curve on Thursday 7

Paula Rego

Tate Britain

Until 24 October 2021

Since the 1950s, Paula Rego has played a key role in redefining figurative art in the UK and internationally. An uncompromising artist of extraordinary imaginative power, she has revolutionised the way in which women are represented.

This exhibition will tell the story of this artist’s extraordinary life, highlighting the personal nature of much of her work and the socio-political context in which it is rooted. It will also reveal the artist’s broad range of references, from comic strips to history painting.

It will feature over 100 works, including collage, paintings, large-scale pastels, ink and pencil drawings and etchings. These will include early work from the 1950s in which Rego first explored personal as well as social struggle, her large pastels of single figures from the acclaimed Dog Women and Abortion series and her richly layered, staged scenes from the 2000-10s.

This will be a unique opportunity to survey, in the city that Rego has lived in and called home for most of her life, the full range of her work.

Exhibition organised by Tate Britain in collaboration with Kunstmuseum Den Haag and Museo Picasso Málaga. Further Information www.tate.org.uk

Emily Jo Gibbs ‘Horse Chestnut bag with Conker purse’ 1996, London Silk, copper wire Taking inspiration from nature, Gibbs designed this bag in the shape of a horse chestnut. The green surface acts as a shell that when opened reveals a ‘conker’ shaped purse. Realistic details such as copper wire points to represent the spiked surface of a horse chestnut demonstrate Gibbs care and craftmanship.

Nuovo Bidente Margaret Thatcher’s Handbag c.1984, possibly Italy Leather, metal During her tenure as Britain’s first female Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990, Margaret Thatcher understood the power of dress and accessories to emphasise her image. Her handbag became a recognisable symbol of both her femininity and power. Often referred to as her ‘secret weapon’ or the ‘sceptre of her rule’, Thatcher’s handbag even influenced a new verb, ‘to handbag’ meaning to verbally attack a person or crush an idea.

Häkeln für die Weltmeere

Ein partizipatives Projekt des Museum Frieder Burda im Rahmen der Ausstellung „Wert und Wandel der Korallen. Christine und Margaret Wertheim“.

Christine und Margaret Wertheim
CCR Branched Anemone Garden Stheno (Detail)

Ab Januar 2022 wird sich das Museum Frieder Burda mit Ihrer Unterstützung in eine Traumwelt verwandeln. Wir lassen einen Kosmos voll faszinierender und farbenprächtiger Korallenformen entstehen, untermalt mit exquisiten Naturstudien aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Durch ihr Projekt Crochet Coral Reef wurde die Kunstwelt auf die Geschwister Wertheim aufmerksam. Die Initiative entstand als Reaktion auf die Zerstörung des Great Barrier Reefs vor der Küste Queenslands, Australien, wo die Wertheim-Schwestern aufwuchsen. In den gehäkelten Korallen (Coral Reef) verschmelzen die Künstlerinnen Mathematik, Meeresbiologie, Kunsthandwerk und kollektive Kunstpraxis zu einer großflächigen und phantastischen Unterwasserlandschaft. Das Crochet Coral Reef besteht aus mehreren sehr unterschiedlichen gehäkelten Skulpturen, Korallenwäldern, Anemonen- und Rifflandschaften, großen stehenden oder hängenden Einzelkorallen und einer Suite aus Miniaturkorallen. Gehäkelt wurde mit verschiedenen Garnen.

Das Baden-Baden Satellite Reef kann nur mit Ihrer Hilfe entstehen.
Teil des Ausstellungsprojektes ist ein neues Korallenriff, das exklusiv für die Ausstellung im Museum Frieder Burda realisiert wird. Das Baden-Baden Satellite Reef ist ein partizipatives Kunstprojekt, zu dem wir Sie alle herzlich einladen mitzumachen. Das neue Riff wird nach den Entwürfen der Künstlerinnen entstehen, die sich hierbei vom im Herbst 2020 neu entdeckten 500 Meter hohen Pinnacle Reef inspirieren ließen, welches zum Great Barrier Reef gehört. Das Kollektivkunstwerk setzt sich aus den eingesandten Korallen aller Häkelbegeisterten zusammen, die das Projekt unterstützen. Dabei werden die einzelnen Stücke von den Geschwistern Wertheim zu einem raumgreifenden Korallenriff zusammengefügt.

Um dem ökologischen Kontext des Projekts zu entsprechen, wird für jede eingesandte gehäkelte Koralle durch den Sponsor EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG ein Spendenbetrag zu Beginn der Ausstellung an Sea Shepherd Deutschland zur Verfügung gestellt, die sich den Schutz der Weltmeere zur Aufgabe gemacht haben.
