CULTURE VULTURE:
Picasso and Modern British Art
February 15th – July 15th 2012 + English National Ballet
In February 2012 Tate Britain in London will stage the first exhibition to explore Pablo Picasso’s lifelong connections with Britain. The exhibition traces the ways in which his work was exhibited and collected here during his lifetime, and demonstrates that the British engagement with Picasso and his art was much deeper and more varied than generally has been appreciated. If you can’t get to London in time, the fret not! After Tate Britain, the exhibition will tour to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh.
English National Ballet will take up residency in Tate Britain's Duveen galleries to celebrate the opening of exhibition Picasso & Modern British Art and the Company’s Beyond Ballets Russes season. Inspired by P icasso's visionary costume and set design work with the Ballets Russes, this collaboration will offer a rare insight into how English National Ballet rehearses repertoire and creates commissions. The climax of the residency will be world premiere performances of three newly commissioned ballets at Late at Tate on 2 March 2012, animating works from Picasso & Modern British Art.
During the residency week (27 February – 4 March 2012) the Duveen galleries will be brought to life with sights such as the full Company of 67 dancers taking their morning ballet class along a barre stretching the length of the North Duveen Gallery and rehearsing pieces including The Rite of Spring and Firebird. There will also be workshops for people of all ages to join, as well as talks, discussions and demonstrations highlighting the links between dance and the visual arts, especially in the legacy of the Ballets Russes.
David Hockney Exhibition: A Bigger Picture is the forthcoming exhibition at The Royal Academy of Arts, commencing January 2012. It will showcase new landscape works as well as spanning a 50 year period to demonstrate Hockney’s long exploration and fascination with the depiction of landscape.
