Talks
Sat 24 March at 2:30 pm, Brighton Museum
Simon Martin, Director of Pallant House Gallery, explores race and gender in Philpot’s work of the 1930s and 1940s, in connection with the Museum’s large collection of Philpot’s artworks. This talk will touch upon the artist’s life, including his relationships with Henry Thomas and his patrons, queer culture at the time, his hope to reconcile the religious image with the contemporary and the modernising impact he had on portraiture.

Andy Holden & Peter Holden: Natural Selection
until 20 May, 2018. Towner Gallery, Eastbourne
Natural Selection marks the culmination of a five-year collaboration between artist Andy Holden and his father, the well-known ornithologist Peter Holden. Their collaborative work takes us on an ornithological journey: from the building of nests to the collecting of eggs. Featuring objects, sculptures, videos and animation, the exhibition has been conceived to celebrate an astonishing diversity of natural forms and embrace different ways of looking. At first glance, it may appear to be about one kind of knowledge – natural history – but it is equally concerned with social history, aesthetics and communication. Through their investigation into often over-looked subjects, the Holdens open up different areas of enquiry such as morphology, evolution, intelligence and creativity, as well as reflecting on the nature of collaboration and parental influence.
