The University’s John Hansard Gallery is delighted to announce two free exhibitions running from 24 November – 2 February, featuring photographer Edward Woodman and artist Anya Gallaccio.
‘Space Light and Time: Edward Woodman A Retrospective’ is the first retrospective that spans Woodman’s (b.1943) six-decade photographic practice and celebrates his remarkable career.
Woodman’s journey as a photographer has taken him from making portraits of movie stars in the 1960s, to longstanding collaborations with artists including: Anya Gallaccio, Antony Gormley, Cornelia Parker, Richard Wilson and many more.
To coincide with the Woodman exhibition, Anya Gallaccio (b.1963) has recreated her extraordinary installation ‘All the rest is silence’. Indigo dye slowly suffuses 7-metres of chappa silk, suspended in front of the window that overlooks Guildhall Square below.
As the work evolves over time, the gallery is looking for photographs of Anya’s work from both inside and outside the gallery. Share your pictures with them using #JHGGallaccio, and they will feature images on their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram channels.
With a series of talks, events and workshops taking place throughout the exhibition, a film screening of ‘I was a dark star always…’ celebrating the life of poet Wilfred Owen, and a whole host of potential Christmas gifts from the gallery shop – there are a plenty of reasons to visit over the coming months.
John Hansard Gallery is open Tuesday – Saturday, 11:00 – 17:00.
