Spot the Differences!

Bloomsbury time at the Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery this weekend:

Saturday, 28 May 2011, 2-4pm

The Gallery’s newest acquisition, the delicate still life by Duncan Grant is being restored to finally reunite with Vanessa Bell’s ‘Triple Alliance’ (1914) displayed in the Gallery.

The art of Bloomsbury would not be the same without romance... The Gallery's newest acquisition, 'A Still Life, Asheham House' by Duncan Grant is being restored to finally reunite with Vanessa Bell's almost identical still life displayed in the Gallery.

SEE IT
Spot the differences! The two artists (and lovers) created their respective collages in the same room and of the same objects. It is a rare privilege to be able to see them side by side during the conservation phase.

HEAR IT
Curator Layla Bloom's short introduction to the artists and the their works in the context of the Bloomsbury group and their experiments with new media.

DO IT
The talk will be followed by a creative art workshop facilitated by mixed media artist Amy Balderston.
Amy will provide collage materials and explain techniques of building layers and materials in mixed media art.
The workshop will suit all ages.

This is a free workshop, but places are limited so please book your place in advance by e-mailing Zsuzsa at libzmp@leeds.ac.uk or by phone (0113) 34 32777.
