SUMMARY:In Conversation: Haroun Hayward and Miriam O’Connor Perks at Pallant House Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Haroun Hayward and curator Miriam O’Connor Perks as they discuss Hayward’s practice and his new body of work which forms the exhibition Path through Trees (30 May – 1 November). \nIn this exhibition\, Hayward has created a series of paintings responding to his joint residency with the Gallery and West Dean College\, inspired by artists in the collection and the Sussex landscape. \nHaroun Hayward’s vibrant practice celebrates hybridity\, drawing upon a diverse array of influences from Modern British landscape painting and abstract expressionism\, to dance music\, rave culture and graffiti. His paintings lean towards abstraction\, with shapes inspired by the rhythmic connections between sound\, pattern and form\, developed through a distinctive use of watercolour\, oil paint and oil stick. His practice also takes inspiration from his mother’s expansive collection of South Asian and West African textiles\, seen in the unique oil stick technique he has developed to emulate embroidery. \nInspired by the energy and rhythmic structures of acid house\, hardcore and Detroit techno from the 1980s and 1990s\, Hayward’s approach to landscape draws upon the processes of sampling\, repetition and variation found in music production. With both art forms sharing a search for the transcendental\, Hayward has developed a set of processes for handling each section of his works\, allowing layers of technique and texture to coexist within a single piece. \nThis talk is part of our Thursday Late event series. By purchasing this talk ticket you gain free access to our galleries\, exhibitions and drop-in activities from 5–8.30pm.

SUMMARY:The Eights - An Evening of Wine and Conversation with Joanna Miller
DESCRIPTION:In 1920\, in the aftermath of the Great War\, women have finally been given the right to vote and Oxford University fully opens its doors to female students. Four young women\, all from very different backgrounds\, but united in their search for education\, emancipation and equality\, find themselves thrust into a life-affirming friendship. Under the city’s dreaming spires\,  navigating centuries of male tradition takes as much courage and self-determination as the long reading lists and writing of essays. This highly enjoyable novel\, with its atmospheric snapshot of Oxford\, and celebrating the power of female friendship\, is set to become a modern classic. \nDoors Open: 6pm \nTalk Starts: 630pm \n  \nTo Book: \nIn-store at The Sussex Bookshop \nOR \nOnline at www.ticketsource.com/the-sussex-bookshop ‘
