Warhol in Wolverhampton

University of Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton Art Gallery, Being Human Fest

Come to the Wolverhampton Art Gallery to encounter unseen work from the pop art collection  and participate in interactive workshops

Wolverhampton Art Gallery

Andy Warhol asked provocative questions for our post-industrial age: What is art? What is life? And what’s their connection? By withholding clear answers, Warhol asked his viewer, ‘What do you think?’ Come along to the Wolverhampton Art Gallery (WAG) and accept Warhol’s challenge! You have the unique opportunity to go behind the scenes and encounter unseen art from the gallery’s extensive pop art collection. Guided tours of the collection start every 30 minutes from 11am, and finish at 4pm. The groups will consist of no more than 10 people. We also have 3 participatory workshops:Workshop 1 - 12 noon - 1.30pm: Dr Gerry Carlin and Dr Mark Jones talk about sixties pop art and their intersections with pop, art, and psychedelia.Workshop 2 - 2pm - 3.30pm: Professor Sebastian Groes invites creative responses to Warhol, Angela Carter and J. G. Ballard during this interactive, hands on workshop.Workshop 3: 4.00pm - 5.30pm Screening in Georgian Gallery: Dr Benjamin Halligan talks about Andy Warhol and his legacy, and analyses the Batman series (1966-68) and The Mighty Boosh (2004-07) to explore how Pop Art energised postmodern popular culture.
