Open Courtauld Hour: Art in Isolation
Date and time
Location
Online event
Open Courtauld Hour - The Courtauld Institute of Art’s brand new weekly series of Art historical mini festivals - is here!
About this event
Join The Courtauld on Thursdays at 20.05 for its very first online series, 'Open Courtauld Hour’.
Why does art matter in quarantine? Lockdown has been transformational in how artists, galleries and museums are adapting to an online world to continue showcasing and making art.
Join Alixe Bovey (Head of Research at The Courtauld Institute of Art) in exploring the importance of creative practice and artistic consumption in a time of isolation.
Alixe will examine this issue through discussions with Courtauld’s own Barnaby Wright (Deputy Head of The Courtauld Gallery), the National Gallery’s Caroline Campbell (Director of Collections and Research at the National Gallery) and Underpinnings Museum's Lorraine Smith (Co-founder). The hour will include a one-off poetic reinterpretation of Paul Cezanne's 'Montagne Sainte-Victoire with Large Pine' by award winning poet Shagufta K Iqbal.
