Art Outside the Canon: A Workshop

This workshop begins from an enquiry into the nature of the discipline of the history of art – as it is manifested in art historical writing and exhibition making – it aims to test how far its methods are adequate for examining modern and contemporary art works which have been either produced or received (in whole or in part) outside of canonical circumstances.

Representi​ng the Industrial Scene: Lowry in Context 1900-80

In dialogue with the upcoming Tate exhibition ‘Lowry and the Painting of Modern Life’, and with visiting scholars T.J. Clark and Anne Wagner’s previous lecture ‘The Question of Lowry’. This symposium will give four researchers the opportunity to reconsider Lowry’s specifically British art-historical context at key stages of the 20th century. Lively debate expected!
