Thursday 27 September 2018
Look-club - September 2018
Every month we hold meetings of our Look Club, an informal gathering where we discuss a work of art or an exhibition in the Whitworth Gallery. Recently our discussions have covered, The John Stezaker exhibition, In the Land: an exhibition of Modern British Art from the WAG Collection and the Isaac Julien Video Installation.
Alice Kettle is a highly regarded contemporary artist focused upon stitched textiles, a powerful medium through which to explore these themes. Thread Bearing Witness represents displacement though the migration of stitches, using the three strands of artistic representation, participation and creative resilience, testing ways of belonging within a cultural space, and using textile as a medium of integration, collective expression and resilience to displacement.
The discussion will be lead by Amy George, Curator of this textile exhibition.
