About this Event

An intimate preview evening to begin the Disabled Legacies: Beyond Access and Inclusion gathering.

Join us for a walkthrough of a Paul Mellon Centre (PMC) display, curated by Virginia Marano. Virginia will be available to answer questions and talk about the objects and ideas of the exhibition.

This will be followed by an informal talk by the artist Keith Piper on the life and work of Donald Rodney whose works are in the display.

We will end the evening with a reception.

Misfits features artworks by Sarah Biffin, Lorenza Böttner, Jesse Darling, Tony Heaton, Martha Ann Honeywell, Tom Olin, Donald Rodney, Michael Stahlberg, and Kurt Weston.

The display is curated by Virginia Marano (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) as part of the spring edition of What Is Research Now?

The display presents painting, sculpture, photography, film and archival material spanning from the early nineteenth century to the present day.
