Join us on Saturday 4 May for a seminar and book launch event to accompany our current show by Pia Arke. . The exhibition Pia Arke: Silences and Stories has been organised in collaboration with @kwinstitutefcontemporaryart, and is the first major survey outside of Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), and the Nordic countries. . Seldom exhibited outside the Scandinavian context, Pia Arke was a Greenlandic Inuk and Danish artist (1958-2007) who strove to make visible the colonial and complex relationship between Denmark and Greenland, and to address significant questions of identity and representation. By working closely with the @piaarkeestate, and numerous lenders across Scandinavia, the exhibition includes photography, film, sculpture, performance and rare archival material. . 2 – 3.30pm – Session 1: Practice Speakers: Ros Carter (John Hansard Gallery), Alice Maude-Roxby (Artist and Fine Art Programme Leader, Middlesex University), Mette Sandbye (Professor of Photography Studies, University of Copenhagen), including 30 mins panel discussion and questions. . 3.50 – 5.20pm – Session 2: Legacy Speakers: Sofie Krogh-Christensen (KW, Berlin), Siri Paulsen (independent researcher and creative producer, Copenhagen), Lise Autogena (Artist and Professor of Cross-Disciplinary Art, University of Sheffield), including 30 mins panel discussion and questions. . Book Launch, 5.30 – 7pm Reception and drinks, with a chance to view the exhibition. The book, Pia Arke (designed by @daly_lyon), has been co-published by John Hansard Gallery and KW and will be available from 4 May. The publication has been edited by the curators of the two respective exhibitions at John Hansard Gallery and KW – Ros Carter and Sofie Krogh Christensen. . It examines the work of Pia Arke and discusses it within the contemporary context. It also positions Arke within a wider international framework and explores connections with other significant artists working internationally during that same time period. .

On Sunday 12 May, join us for a major new inter-disciplinary work exploring sound, space and human perception. . A site-responsive collaboration between composer/creative director Drew Crawford (@uni_southampton), the virtuosic musicians of @plusminusensemble and Tim Hand (audio), We'll Find Out When We Get There lies at the intersection of musical performance, art installation, choreography and acoustic experiment, designed to respond to and illuminate the aural architecture of the gallery spaces in which it is performed. . Playful, thoughtful, immersive, accessible and engaging, yet emotionally complex – come and experience John Hansard Gallery in a new way. . There will be three performances, each lasting one hour. . FREE, link in bio to book 🔗 . . #Music #Choreography #MusicalPerformance #AcousticExperiment #DrewCrawford #PlusMinusEnsemble #TimHand #Southampton @artsunisouth @uosmusic @turner_sims @uos_engagement @uoshumanities @aceagrams @visualartssw @cvan_se @cvanetwork @chaos_southampton @aspacearts @ght_soton @union_soton @southamptonforward @aceagrams @drew_soundslike .
