Members’ events: the self and its environment, vintage cameras, and symposium on painting

Selfscapes
Works by 25 artists, including Clare Smith (work pictured above), occupy a series of workshops located opposite Dalby Forest‘s visitor centre, as well as being sited at specific loactions within the forest. The works respond to both the forest location and the theme of ‘selfscapes’ – research into the relationship between the self and its environment. The exhibition is accompanied by a discussion led by Professor Mike Collier (University of Sunderland) and chaired by Louise Hutchinson (assistant curator at Yorkshire Sculpture Park) on Friday 22 June.
22 June – 15 July 2018, Dalby Forest, Courtyard, Low Dalby, Pickering YO18 7LT.

On the eve of the symposium, on Wednesday 20 June, Yve-Alain Bois will deliver a keynote lecture, ‘What’s with the bamboo stick? Matisse’s late drawing practice’.
Thursday 21 June 2018, Camberwell College of Arts, 45-65 Peckham Road, London SE5 8UF.

Only The Sunny Hours: Contemporary Photography with a Brownie 127
Twenty artists make work with the vintage Kodak Brownie 127 camera, which was mainly in use between 1952 to 1963. Artist and curator Cally Trench has invited the artists to consider popular photography then and now, with artists referencing the day out, family photos or the current ubiquity of the camera phone.
