THE QUEEN OF HUNGARY PROJECT SPACE

Here is some information about our first ever event in the Project Space; a talk by Isabel Vassuer:

The Queen of Hungary Project Space

Aylsham, Norfolk NR11 6HF

7.00pm on Thursday 24th November 2011

Free Event

We are delighted to present the first event in a 6-month programme of seminars by leading curators and artists at the new Project Space.

The inaugural talk is to be given by Isabel Vasseur, director of ArtOffice and curator of Salthouse12. Isabel was a pioneer of the Public Art movement at the beginning of the 1980s, and founded ArtOffice 27 years ago. ArtOffice evolved into an association of professional curators, architects and art historians who undertook a vast range of projects. Over the past decade these have included working with Channel 4, Covent Garden Opera House and Aldeburgh Festival.

Isabel will talk about her varied career in public art, exhibition making and publishing while also elaborating on her vision as curator of Salthouse12.

The Project Space is fully accessible and there is parking at the front of the space.

To book a place please email [email protected].

Places are limited to 25.

I think we should consider sending a map for those who book a place, for those not familiar with this part of North Norfolk.

Hours spent painting the Project Space to get it ready for the inaugral event this month. Stephanie seems particularly skilled at decorating and finding uses for pieces of ripped up newspaper. We decided on a stringent yellow for the newly replaced woodwork around the windows, which we bought in Aylsham, but it turned out not nearly’nasty’ enough – we will have to adapt it.

Also debating all the practicalities such as how many chairs we can comfortable fit into the space for the talk and then where to source the chairs, typefaces for the Project Space sign, wine and beer provenders, and so on. It feels satisfying to be working in this hands-on way after al our discussions, but –

There is a LOT to do.
