Object as Muse

8 August – 19 October

Our lives and experiences can shape the way we interpret an object. This thought provoking exhibition explores those differing responses, using a single object – a dress.

Six responses are presented, from a range of creative disciplines, including photography, installation, ceramics and poetry.

This brand new touring exhibition is created by the Crafts Council and will be launched at Winchester Discovery Centre.

David Hockney: Grimm’s Fairy Tales

25 October – 23 November

An exhibition of etchings by British artist David Hockney, illustrating six fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm.

Hockney’s contemporary and often humorous approach to the tales is reflected in the quirky nature of the drawings, with vivid images encapsulating a mood or a detail. Some of the tales are familiar, like Rapunzel and Rumpelstilzchen; others, such as Old Rinkrank and the Little Sea Hare are little known.

Events and activities to come!
Free entry

A Hayward Touring exhibition from Southbank Centre, London on behalf of Arts Council England.
