Tim Vivian - 'More Places Made Special'
Thursday 13th November to Wednesday 3rd DecemberThe exhibition comprises work done over the last two years. Each painting emanates from a natural subject observed; engagement starts with a drawing and/or a photograph. Later in the studio I seek how to celebrate the subject, why it fascinates me. If successful the result will be an abstraction and as much a celebration of the free use of oil paint as of the original subject.

Event details »Persepolis (12A)
Thursday 20th November 2008Persepolis is the autobiographical tale of Marjane, sharing her experiences as a young girl coming-of-age in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Based on Marjane's four graphic novels, this striking animation covers her childhood in Iran, her escape to an education in Vienna and then a bittersweet return to her native country. It is through the eyes of this precocious and outspoken nine year old that we see people's hopes dashed as fundamentalists take power - forcing the veil on women and imprisoning thousands. Though she outsmarts the "social guardians" and discovers punk, ABBA and Iron Maiden, the daily fear that permeates life in Iran is palpable, as bombs fall on Tehran during the Iran/Iraq war and those close to her fall foul of the regime.
