Remote Roundup 15th February – 21st February 2021

Event, 16th February:

Nottingham Contemporary, Grace Before Jones

Join us for a live, online conversation with co-curator of Grace Before Jones: Camera, Disco, Studio, Cédric Fauq and performance studies scholar, Uri McMillan about Black image making, performance and self-fashioning.

Departing from a selection of artworks included in the exhibition, this dialogue reflects on the moving power of stillness and fashion as dynamic sculpture, while tracing the Grace Jones’ entanglement with gender binaries, politics and androgyny through performance. In a live exercise at the crossover between visual cultures and performance studies, this talk draws unlikely connections from the performances and photographs of Jones, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Adrian Piper.

Event, 19th February:

New Art Exchange, Nottingham, Yoga & Art #1

Similar to yoga, visual art encourages us to pause, slow down and be in the present moment. During this Yoga & Art experience, you’ll have time to mindfully explore Phoebe Boswell’s Here exhibition through a short film and calming soundscape we’ve created especially for these sessions.

We’ll begin with yoga to awaken our body and senses, followed by our short film featuring the exhibition. The film and accompanying soundtrack will immerse you in a calm and slow wander through Phoebe’s Boswell work. The session ends with a deep guided relaxation, leaving you feeling rested and relaxed.
