SUMMARY:About Labyrinth: Knossos\, Myth & Reality
DESCRIPTION:About Labyrinth: Knossos\, Myth & Reality\n\n\n\nAccording to legend\, an elaborate labyrinth was built at Knossos on the island of Crete to hold a ferocious Minotaur. Discover the palace of Knossos\, and the search for the labyrinth\, in this major exhibition in Oxford. \n\n\n\nThe palace of Knossos\, discovered and excavated over 100 years ago\, was the centre of a Bronze Age civilisation of people we now call the Minoans\, named after the legendary King Minos.  \n\n\n\nThis will be the first UK exhibition to focus on Knossos and will include over 100 objects that have never left Crete and Greece before\, alongside discoveries from the Ashmolean’s Sir Arthur Evans Archive. \n\n\n\nArchaeologist Sir Arthur Evans led excavations at Knossos in the early 20th century and would later re-imagine and partially restore the palace.  \n\n\n\nHis archive at the Ashmolean has been central to understanding the site of Knossos\, and many of his excavation plans\, artworks and records will be on display alongside objects from the site. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\nPriority tickets for members and patrons \n\n\n\nBook members’ tickets \n\n\n\nEntry to the exhibition is free for members\, but the Ashmolean advises pre-booking a timed slot\, especially at busier periods\, to guarantee entry. You will need your 13- or 14- digit membership Number to book. \n\n\n\nNot a member? \n\n\n\nMembers enjoy priority booking\, unlimited exhibition entry\, exclusive members-only preview days\, plus members-only events\, a members’ magazine posted to you twice a year\, and shop\, café and restaurant discounts. \n\n\n\nBecome a member \n\n\n\nGeneral admission tickets \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGeneral admission tickets are not yet available. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLadies in Blue Fresco\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMember preview day\n\n\n\nJoin the Ashmolean for an exclusive members-only preview of the exhibition from 10.00am to 5.00pm on Thursday\, 09 February  \n\n\n\nOnly Ashmolean members can join the exclusive\, members-only preview of the upcoming Labyrinth: Knossos\, Myth & Reality exhibition the day before it opens to the public. \n\n\n\nIt is anticipated that the Preview Day will be very busy\, so if you wish to secure entry at a particular time slot without waiting\, we advise pre-booking your free tickets\, but it is not mandatory. \n\n\n\nBook Labyrinth Preview tickets \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBull-Leaping Fresco\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLabyrinth: Knossos\, Myth & Reality Curator’s Talk\n\n\n\nWith Dr Andrew Shapland\, Sir Arthur Evans Curator of Bronze Age and Classical Greece at the Ashmolean \n\n\n\nLabyrinth: Knossos\, Myth & Reality is the first major exhibition in the UK about Knossos. This archaeological site was famous in myth as the place where the Minotaur was imprisoned in a labyrinth and in history as the centre of the Bronze Age Minoan civilisation\, the home of the earliest farmers in Europe and a thriving Greek and Roman city. \n\n\n\nDr Shapland’s introductory talk will follow the thread of this exciting interactive exhibition\, tracing the history of exploration of Knossos\, from the early travellers searching for the mythical Labyrinth to more recent discoveries\, which include evidence for human sacrifice. \n\n\n\nDr Shapland will especially explore the excavations of Sir Arthur Evans\, whose archive at the Ashmolean is the single most important resource for understanding the site of Knossos. \n\n\n\nThe talk will take place onsite at The Taylorian\, St Giles\, and online via Zoom from 5.00pm to 6.00pm on Wednesday\, 22 February. \n\n\n\nTickets are £8.00 and will be available soon. \n\n\n\nBooking is required.

SUMMARY:Women and War: From the Fringes to the Front Line
DESCRIPTION:Women and War: From the Fringes to the Front Line\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Women and War: From the Fringes to the Front Line\n\n\n\nWomen & War: From the Fringes to the Front Line is a new exhibition to tell the stories of women in the armed forces opening on 03 June to 10 September 2023 at Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum in Woodstock. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition will explore the diverse experiences of women who have been involved with all aspects of military life\, from the ‘fringes’ of history to those now taking on frontline roles in the armed forces today – using unique\, personal stories\, pen portraits of women in historical and modern roles feature throughout. \n\n\n\nSeveral objects\, on loan from individuals and organisations that have also shared their stories for the exhibition\, will go on show at the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum for the first time. \n\n\n\nThese include an Air Transport Auxiliary jacket which belonged to Mary Watkins of Leafield\, Oxfordshire\, who took her flying lessons in Witney. She was the youngest pilot in the county when she began in 1937. Her story will be told with thanks to Maidenhead Heritage Centre and ATA Museum. \n\n\n\nA series of letters and a pair of officer’s gloves belonging to Rev. Elsie Chamberlain\, on loan from the Royal Army Chaplains’ Museum\, help illustrate the story of the first female Chaplain in the RAF\, whose appointment sparked protest from both the RAF and the Church of England in 1946. Her name was originally excluded from RAF lists\, and her service was concealed.

SUMMARY:Catherine Goodman: Do you remember me…
DESCRIPTION:Catherine Goodman: Do you remember me…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Catherine Goodman: Do you remember me…\n\n\n\nDo you remember me… is a major new exhibition at Waddesdon\, showcasing never before seen works by Catherine Goodman. \n\n\n\nDisplayed in the Coach House Gallery and the Drawings Room of the Manor\, the exhibition focuses on a new body of work\, including a selection of her new paintings\, drawings\, collages and works on paper which capture the landscape of Corfu and its rugged\, vibrant beauty. \n\n\n\nFor over 12 years\, celebrated British artist Catherine Goodman has been visiting the Greek island of Corfu. Each visit\, she returns to the same\, isolated point of the island where a grove of ancient\, gnarled olive trees is framed by the bright blue sea and sky\, to draw what she sees. Returning to her studio\, Goodman translates these drawings into collages and paintings. \n\n\n\nCatherine Goodman’s art is rooted in observational drawing. Through this daily act\, the artist examines and places her personal experience in an intense relationship with the natural environment. As a result\, her paintings are charged with colour and gesture to create deeply atmospheric and engaging experiences for the viewer. \n\n\n\n\n“These works are an exploration of the relationship I have formed with a piece of nature\, a landscape that I have got to know intimately over many years. When I visit the olive grove now\, I have the sense of the landscape knowing me as well as I know it. I sense the trees looking back at me as I look at them\, and my drawing is a silent dialogue between us.”—Catherine Goodman \n\n\n\n\nA highlight of the exhibition is surely the monumental\, seven-panelled Frieze which depicts a grove of ancient olive trees framed by the vivid blues of the sea and sky behind. It will be complemented by a triptych of a single tree captured through the day – morning\, midday and evening – as well as further paintings and a suite of powerful pastel drawings. \n\n\n\nOne of the inspirations for the paintings\, and particularly the seven-panelled Frieze\, is Ovid’s great poem\, Metamorphoses\, specifically the legend of the nymph Daphne\, extracts from which are hand-scribed by the artist on the wall above the paintings. The mythological imagery in this poem\, and Daphne’s transformation into a tree to escape Apollo’s pursuit\, is a recurring theme for the artist. \n\n\n\n\n“There can be few artists working today for whom landscape holds such an intense and personal connection as Catherine Goodman. In this work\, she creates extraordinary visual encounters with trees that become more characters – old friends – than natural forms…the work is complex\, layered\, powerful\, and thoughtful and invites close looking.”—Pippa Shirley\, Director of Waddesdon \n\n\n\n\nAbout Catherine Goodman \n\n\n\nCatherine Goodman (b. 1961) is an artist based in London\, working between her London studios and Somerset. She trained at London’s Camberwell School of Arts & Crafts and the Royal Academy Schools\, at which she won the Royal Academy Gold Medal in 1987. \n\n\n\nGoodman’s paintings are held in numerous private and public collections including the National Portrait Gallery\, the Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge and the Royal Collection Trust. \n\n\n\nCentral to her artistic process is the act of drawing from observation\, whether from life\, objects or the great masters and their works. Goodman sees her role as an educator as being integral to her artistic identity\, and in 2000\, she co-established the Royal Drawing School with HRH The Prince of Wales to address the increasing absence of observational drawing in art education. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nDates & times:10.00am to 4.00pm on Wednesdays to Sundays from 07 June to 29 October 2023 \n\n\n\nLocation: Coach House Gallery and the Drawings Room of Waddesdon Manor

SUMMARY:Joana Vasconcelos: Wedding Cake tours
DESCRIPTION:Joana Vasconcelos: Wedding Cake tours at Waddesdon Manor\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Joana Vasconcelos: Wedding Cake tours\n\n\n\nExplore Joana Vasconcelos’ extraordinary Wedding Cake\, opening this summer at Waddesdon. \n\n\n\nWedding Cake\, a 12-metre-tall ceramic sculptural pavilion in the form of a three-tiered cake\, is a major new Rothschild Foundation commission from celebrated Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos. \n\n\n\nOpening this summer\, the Wedding Cake will stand within a grove of trees at Waddesdon beside the 19th-century Dairy. \n\n\n\nIt’s a playful continuation of the history of placing fanciful buildings in gardens and landscapes\, which at Waddesdon include the ornamental Dairy and gilded Rococo-style Aviary. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit the Wedding Cake\n\n\n\nStep inside this astonishing work of art on a 45-minute guided tour and enjoy a unique\, richly sensory experience. \n\n\n\nAfter the tour\, you’ll have the chance to explore the collection of contemporary sculptures in the Water Garden at the Dairy\, including Lafite\, Vasconcelos’ magnificent sculpture\, in the form of two giant candlesticks made of wine bottles. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I want people to have three different approaches to it: looking from the outside\, enjoying the surroundings from the different levels or balconies and rising to the top\, and finally completing the artwork with their presence. Above all\, I always thought of it as a temple to love.”—Joana Vasconcelos \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe creation of the Wedding Cake\n\n\n\nPart sculpture\, part architectural garden folly\, the extraordinary structure is a celebration of love\, festivity and joy. Inspired by the exuberant Baroque buildings and decorative ceramic traditions of Lisbon\, where Vasconcelos lives and works.  \n\n\n\nThousands of gleaming\, icing-like ceramic tiles glazed in pale pinks\, greens and blues decorate the cake\, all made in a traditional Portuguese manufactory. Further adorned with sculptural ornament and complete with the sounds of trickling water. \n\n\n\nWedding Cake is Vasconcelos’ most ambitious commission to date and a perfect complement to Waddesdon.  \n\n\n\nThe vision and imagination exemplified in the piece mirror the passion which drove Baron Ferdinand\, the creator of Waddesdon\, to build the Manor and the Dairy\, where he intended that his many friends would be surprised and delighted at every turn.  \n\n\n\nTraditionally-made ceramic tiles speak to the Manor’s world-renowned collection of Sèvres and Meissen porcelain. And the sumptuous decoration of the Wedding Cake reflects the architecture of the house\, itself covered in intricate finials and ornaments. \n\n\n\n\n\nJoana Vasconcelos\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVasconcelos’ Lafite at Waddesdon commissioned in 2015 by the Rothschild Foundation\n\n\n\n\n\nJoana Vasconcelos at Waddesdon\n\n\n\nVasconcelos’ Lafite\, two giant candlesticks made of illuminated Chateau Lafite Rothschild magnums\, commissioned in 2015 by the Rothschild Foundation\, stand in the Water Garden at the Dairy and celebrate the family associations to the world of great Bordeaux wine.  \n\n\n\nIn 2012\, her Pavilon de Thé\, a giant wrought-iron tea pot\, was the focal point of House of Cards\, a contemporary sculpture exhibition in the gardens\, and in 2016 her Cup Cake (2011) was exhibited on the North Front. \n\n\n\nAlong with the Wedding Cake\, these pieces showcase the defining characteristics of Vasconcelos’ practice. Her work is often playful\, manipulating scale to dramatic effect and using familiar daily objects in surprising\, charming and inventive ways. \n\n\n\nFind out more about Joana Vasconcelos \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nPrices:Adult tickets – £15.00Normal grounds admission appliesPre-booking recommended \n\n\n\nOpening hours:Tours run on Thursday 10.30am to 3.30pm and on selected Sundays from 10.30am to 1.30pm.

SUMMARY:Fountains and Flowers - New Works by Jessica Biggs
DESCRIPTION:Fountains and Flowers – New Works by Jessica Biggs at Zuleika Gallery. Image: Jessica Biggs\, Meadow flowers\, 2023\, oil on linen\, 61 x 76 cm (cropped)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Fountains and Flowers – New Works by Jessica Biggs\n\n\n\n“The warmth of an English Summer’s day or the brightness of a bouquet of wild flowers\, when I paint\, I’m searching for luminosity and joy.” —Jessica Biggs\, 2023. \n\n\n\nZuleika Gallery is delighted to present Fountains & Flowers\, an inaugural solo exhibition of paintings by Jessica Biggs\, which opens in its Woodstock Gallery from 09 to 27 June 2023.  \n\n\n\nBringing together a new body of work completed over the past twelve months\, the summer exhibition will feature Biggs’ paintings of fountains set within the formal gardens of Blenheim Palace\, alongside her delicate floral still life paintings.  \n\n\n\nThe roots of Biggs’ artistic inspiration are with the carefully observed naturalism of the French landscape artists Eugène Boudin (1824-1898) and Camille Corot (1796-1875) and with the domestic interiors of Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) and the colourful still life paintings of Winifred Nicholson (1893-1981).  \n\n\n\nSpeaking about her choice of subject matter\, Biggs explains\, “I am irresistibly drawn to fountains\, with their cool rushing water set within a hot summer landscape. Blenheim Palace\, with its abundance of charming vistas and splendidly ornate gardens\, has been a joy to capture in paint.”  \n\n\n\nThe floral still life has been popular across movements\, cultures and periods\, and there is a timeless and effervescent quality to Biggs’ richly patterned paintings with contrasting colours and shapes\, which\, together\, create an effect of harmony. \n\n\n\nBiggs spends considerable time choosing and arranging the flowers before she puts paint on the canvas.  \n\n\n\nBiggs reveals\, “I choose the flowers for the harmony of their colours\, their dazzling ruffles of petals\, their velvet textures and halo-like shapes. I particularly like the graceful nature of wildflowers such as poppies\, cornflowers and echinacea and envisage them dancing brightly in their jugs and vases”.

SUMMARY:Gifts and Books
DESCRIPTION:Books and Gifts is an exhibition at the Weston Library that explores the importance of books as gifts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Gifts and Books exhibition\n\n\n\nThe Bodleian Libraries presents Gifts and Books\, a new exhibition exploring the importance of giving and receiving books. The exhibition\, at the Weston Library\, asks what this apparently simple act\, practised for centuries\, reveals about human relationships and beliefs. \n\n\n\nThe giving and receiving of gifts is fundamental to human societies. \n\n\n\nDrawing on material from ancient Sumerian writing tablets to contemporary fiction for children\, Gifts and Books will explore the importance of gift-giving through books and across time and how this apparently simple act reveals wider interactions\, relationships and belief systems. \n\n\n\nGenerosity. Power. Reverence. Love. Struggle. Obligation. Visitors can explore people’s motivations for giving books across the ages\, including as a religious offering\, a mark of friendship\, or a way to strengthen political alliances.  \n\n\n\nOf the many intriguing items on display is a stunning book made by a young Princess Elizabeth\, later Queen Elizabeth I. She wrote out her translation of The Mirror or Glass of the Sinful Soul and included a finely embroidered cover framing the initials of Queen Katherine Parr\, to whom she gave the book as a New Year’s gift in 1544. The strategic exchange of books was a common practice to cement relationships in the fickle world of the Tudor Court. \n\n\n\nA guitar bought by the romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley will also be on display\, highlighting gift-giving as an act of friendship. Shelley gave the instrument to his friend Jane Williams shortly before his death. It will be displayed alongside his manuscript of the poem ‘With a Guitar.  \n\n\n\nTo Jane’\, which reimagines Shelley\, Jane and her husband Edward as characters in Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Love tokens are represented further in a First Folio of Shakespeare\, opening at a scene from As You Like It\, where Orlando writes love poems and pins them to trees and a 1950s program by computer pioneer Christopher Strachey that generates love letters. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition delves into the relationship between writing\, gifts and religion\, with pieces highlighting how gift-giving has been used across cultures and faiths. A Buddhist narrative\, The Birth Story of the Deer\, written on a set of palm-leaf folios\, exemplifies the ideal of sacrificing oneself to attain perfection.  \n\n\n\nA beautiful Qur’an manuscript that later belonged to an Indian ruler will also be on display\, as will a spectacular medieval Jewish prayer book and books of Christian devotion that include portraits of the donors who paid for their exquisite craftsmanship. \n\n\n\nBooks have often been commissioned\, adapted and regifted. A beautiful\, illuminated page from the Ormesby Psalter will be on display\, featuring two different sets of patrons: one from a pair of families whose marriage alliance seems to have faltered\, another showing the wealthy churchman Robert Ormesby\, after whom the book is now named. Like other medieval precious objects\, it was given and re-given at different times due to its value and altered to suit new owners. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition shows how gifts and books can be bound up in relationships of power\, politics and protest. For example\, it features the extraordinary Olaudah Equiano\, who was treated as property or even ‘given’ as a gift by those who had enslaved him\, but who managed to gain his freedom and write his own life story. \n\n\n\nThe power of the gift to encourage creativity is further explored through books for young readers\, many of which show the act of giving as both joyful and powerful. Writers including Oscar Wilde\, Patience Agbabi\, Shirley Hughes\, Philip Pullman and Zetta Elliott are all represented here. \n\n\n\nGo and explore the meaning of gifts\, exchange and the stories we tell about them. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is curated by Dr Nicholas Perkins\, Associate Professor and Tutor in English\, St Hugh’s College\, University of Oxford. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGifts and Books exhibition highlights\n\n\n\n\n\nOrmesby Psalter\, 13th century\n\n\n\n\n\nOrmesby Psalter\, 13th century\n\n\n\nThe Ormesby Psalter is one of the masterpieces of East Anglian art.

Right: Teeth\, Flora Yukhnovich\, oil on linen\, 2023 © Flora Yukhnovich\, courtesy the artist and Victoria Miro\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Ashmolean NOW: Flora Yukhnovich x Daniel Crews-Chubb\n\n\n\nThe Ashmolean has launched a new exhibition series of contemporary art: Ashmolean NOW\, which invites contemporary artists to create new work inspired by the Ashmolean’s historical collections. \n\n\n\nThe first exhibition is dedicated to contemporary painting. It juxtaposes the work of two London-based painters\, Flora Yukhnovich and Daniel Crews-Chubb. \n\n\n\nDespite stylistic differences\, the work of both artists links art historical inspirations with a dynamic and contemporary painterly language. The paintings displayed\, all made specifically for this exhibition\, convey a timeless passion for the medium of painting\, its materials and processes. \n\n\n\nFor this series of three exhibitions in Gallery 8\, each artist will explore different areas of the museum’s broad collections. Ashmolean NOW will feature their four very different points of view. The summer exhibition will be followed by Pio Abad in February 2024 and Bettina von Zwehl in October 2024. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nVenue:Gallery 8 on the Lower Ground Floor \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFlora Yukhnovich\n\n\n\n\n\nFlora Yukhnovich (b. 1990) found herself drawn to the palettes and compositions of the museum’s Dutch and Flemish still life paintings.  \n\n\n\nHer large-sized paintings feature intense red\, pink\, peach and green colours and an abstracted painterly language. Circular forms and soft contours suggest organic growth\, while glowing light and dark contrasts create an illusion of three-dimensional depth. \n\n\n\nYukhnovich’s work playfully and critically explores different notions of femininity in the history of art and popular culture\, looking at contrasting stereotypes like ‘virtuous’ and ‘monstrous’ women. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Crews-Chubb\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Crews-Chubb (b. 1984) presents a group of large-scale paintings that take inspiration from ancient sculptures of deities and non-human figures found in the Ashmolean. \n\n\n\nThese ‘immortals’\, as Crews-Chubb calls his fantastical figures\, are created through a laborious process of addition and revision\, including drawing\, impasto\, and collage. \n\n\n\nThe textured patchwork of his canvasses gives Crews-Chubb’s monumental subjects a three-dimensional presence that\, as he describes\, ‘corrodes the boundary between painting and sculpture’.

SUMMARY:CODE by Justice in Motion/Dancin’ Oxford
DESCRIPTION:CODE by Justice in Motion/Dancin’ Oxford\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout CODE by Justice in Motion\n\n\n\nThe phone vibrates…a message…times\, numbers\, deals…and a warning. All in code.  \n\n\n\nSo young and so troubled. At home\, in school\, on the street. There’s no way out – is there? \n\n\n\nDancin’ Oxford\, in conjunction with Justice in Motion\, will present the world premiere of CODE at its Summer Dance Festival in Oxford on 19 and 20 August 2023. \n\n\n\nCODE is an original physical theatre/dance work by Justice in Motion exploring the growing levels of child exploitation across regional UK by criminal gangs based in large cities. \n\n\n\nMobile phones are used by the gangs to organise the sale\, distribution and financing of drugs throughout the regions – hence the crime is colloquially known as “county lines”. \n\n\n\nThis energetic\, breath-taking\, pulsing\, visually stimulating performances tell an unforgettable tale of one young person who falls prey to a gang. Groomed with gifts and coerced with threats\, their victim takes on the dangerous business of drug running. The result is a visually stunning\, breath-taking\, and mesmerising piece of theatre.  \n\n\n\nCODE was developed through a research and development phase\, funded by Arts Council England\, and then a series of workshops with young people\, run in association with Dancin’ Oxford. \n\n\n\nJustice in Motion’s research has encompassed organisations working on the front line\, as well as collecting real stories from young victims and survivors. \n\n\n\nCODE brings together trials bikes\, parkour\, physical theatre and live rap music to establish a narrative that delves into the crime and its effects on young people. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nCODE will be performed outdoors on Oxford Broad Street on 19 August at noon and 3.00pm\, and at Barton Neighbourhood Centre\, Headington\, on 20 August at 2.00pm and 5.00pm. \n\n\n\nAll performances are free to attend.
