SUMMARY:The English House with Dan Cruickshank at Pallant House Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an illuminating talk from historian Dan Cruickshank about the research and stories behind his latest book The English House. Discover the rich histories of some of England’s most fascinating homes — including our very own Pallant House! \nThis is the story of the superbly elegant early 18th century Pallant House in Chichester. It’s the story of 19 Princelet Street in Spitalfields\, built for a Huguenot silk-weaver\, ultimately a synagogue. It’s also the story of – among others – a row of two-up\, two-downs in Toxteth\, a block of flats in London’s East End\, and what Ideal Home’s magazine described in 1926 as Britain’s ‘first modern house’ – in Northampton. \nThrough these diverse buildings\, the talk explores how English homes have evolved over the centuries\, revealing not only architectural innovation but the stories of their first occupants: their aspirations\, their struggles\, their place within society and relationship with their local community. The talk will weave these two strands together\, blending architectural and social history to share a series of brilliantly observed portraits of fascinating buildings\, and shedding more light on the history of our special gallery. \nThe talk will be followed by a book signing with books available to purchase from the Pallant Book Shop.  \nTickets cost £18 and include admission to the gallery. Book your ticket here.

SUMMARY:The Female Subjects with Katy Hessel at Pallant House Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Join art historian Katy Hessel for a series of lectures dedicated to Biblical and mythological female subjects commonly depicted in western art history\, from witches to the Virgin Mary\, Medusa\, Eve to Aphrodite. Borrowing from the 1972 book and television series\, Ways of Seeing\, and its author John Berger’s idea “to start a process of questioning”\, Hessel will be delving into the evolution of these subjects: looking at their story of origin and how male artists from history ‘perceived’ them (perhaps perpetuating a certain narrative)\, and how\, if we look at them from the perspective of a woman artist\, we might just see them anew. \nThese talks are not to be recorded and are part of a working progress for an upcoming book project. \nEach talk will focus on a specific female subject from art history; \nThursday 2nd October 6-7pm – Virgin Mary \nTuesday 7th October 6-7pm – Aphrodite/Venus \nTuesday 28th October 6-7pm – Witches  \nThursday 12th February 6-7pm – Medusa \nThursday 26th February 6-7pm – Athena \nThursday 5th March 6-7pm – Eve & Lilith \nTickets cost £18.

SUMMARY:Talk | Curator’s Introduction to British Landscapes: A Sense of Place at Pallant House Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Join Gallery Director Simon Martin for an introduction to our current exhibition British Landscapes: A Sense of Place\, a landmark exhibition exploring how artists from the 18th to the 20th century have responded to the landscapes of the British Isles. Bringing together works by more than 60 artists\, the exhibition reveals landscape not simply as scenery\, but as a powerful expression of memory\, identity and emotion. \nSpanning Romanticism\, Modernism and postwar abstraction\, Simon Martin will trace a rich lineage from Thomas Gainsborough and the golden age of British watercolour to the postwar works of Wilhelmina Barns-Graham\, Barbara Hepworth\, Paul Nash\, and Eric Ravilious\, reflecting on how Britain’s landscapes have been lived in\, remembered and reimagined – and how they continue to shape our collective sense of belonging and resilience. \nYour ticket includes entry to the exhibition following the talk.  \nTickets cost £18 and can be booked here.
