Join us at the beautiful Left Bank Leeds, a Grade II* listed former church and hub for creativity, culture, and community. We're thrilled to announce that the incredible Kerry Godliman will be headlining the show!
Born in Sheffield, John Hoyland (1934–2011) achieved international recognition as an abstract painter, known for his powerful large-scale images, full of energy and feeling. In 1994, in the lead-up to his sixtieth birthday, he made his only mature group of sculptures. Working at the Royal College of Art in London, he produced around 25 ceramic works, which he described as “these mad little hybrids”. Our new display focuses on this body of work, bringing together a selection of sculptures shown in conversation with related paintings.
Marking the centenary of Surrealism, The Traumatic Surreal explores the appropriation and development of surrealist sculptural traditions by women artists in German-speaking countries after World War II.
Co-curated with Professor Patricia Allmer (University of Edinburgh) and based on her book The Traumatic Surreal, the exhibition brings together work by Renate Bertlmann, Birgit Jürgenssen, Bady Minck, Meret Oppenheim, Pipilotti Rist, Ursula (Schultze-Bluhm) and Eva Wipf to explore their potent and multiple critiques of patriarchy.
For the majority of exhibitions at BasementArtsProject we run a 'Lunchtime Conversation' in which the exhibiting artist is invited to a home cooked community meal around the kitchen table.
We only ever offer 10 tickets -all of which are free - as that is all I can fit around the table comfortably.
Get to know the artist and chat about Art, Life, The Universe and so much more...
