My name is Louise and I work as a Gallery Assistant. Those of you who know me will know how much I love a good hat, you can always find me wearing one of my collection whilst working in the gallery. . Earlier this week, I walked across to Guildhall Square to visit @introspective_exhibition, a showcase by second year Fine Art students from @solentuniversity. The artworks were displayed in two large shipping containers in the middle of the square, bringing art to the attention of everyone passing by. . 1. 'Container Chronicles' by Kilandy Buange. I am wearing my new yellow cap. An exciting find in a charity shop, because I only have over 60 hats! . 2. 'Monster Petting Zoo' by Kat Diprose. . 3. 'Unrequited' by Alice Shell. . 4. '15 Girls' by Agata Adaszynska. . 5. 'Untitled' by Lara Mabe. . . #JHGGalleryAssistants #SolentUniversity #IntrospectiveExhibition #Art #FineArt #Sculpture #GuildhallSquareSouthampton #Southampton #SotonArts #KilandyBuange #KatDiprose #AliceShell #AgataAdaszynska #LaraMabe @solentart @sezifilmswork

Join us on Saturday 4 May for a seminar and book launch event to accompany our current show by Pia Arke. . The exhibition Pia Arke: Silences and Stories has been organised in collaboration with @kwinstitutefcontemporaryart, and is the first major survey outside of Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), and the Nordic countries. . Seldom exhibited outside the Scandinavian context, Pia Arke was a Greenlandic Inuk and Danish artist (1958-2007) who strove to make visible the colonial and complex relationship between Denmark and Greenland, and to address significant questions of identity and representation. By working closely with the @piaarkeestate, and numerous lenders across Scandinavia, the exhibition includes photography, film, sculpture, performance and rare archival material. . 2 – 3.30pm – Session 1: Practice Speakers: Ros Carter (John Hansard Gallery), Alice Maude-Roxby (Artist and Fine Art Programme Leader, Middlesex University), Mette Sandbye (Professor of Photography Studies, University of Copenhagen), including 30 mins panel discussion and questions. . 3.50 – 5.20pm – Session 2: Legacy Speakers: Sofie Krogh-Christensen (KW, Berlin), Siri Paulsen (independent researcher and creative producer, Copenhagen), Lise Autogena (Artist and Professor of Cross-Disciplinary Art, University of Sheffield), including 30 mins panel discussion and questions. . Book Launch, 5.30 – 7pm Reception and drinks, with a chance to view the exhibition. The book, Pia Arke (designed by @daly_lyon), has been co-published by John Hansard Gallery and KW and will be available from 4 May. The publication has been edited by the curators of the two respective exhibitions at John Hansard Gallery and KW – Ros Carter and Sofie Krogh Christensen. . It examines the work of Pia Arke and discusses it within the contemporary context. It also positions Arke within a wider international framework and explores connections with other significant artists working internationally during that same time period. .
