Leverhulme Arts Scholars 2014

This exhibition marks the completion of a six week summer school at Wysing, during July and August, in which the fifteen artists have spent time developing and exploring their art practices in a variety of ways, including individual research, workshops and discussions,as well as studio-based making. Join us for a presentation of the new work created at Wysing by the artists: Isobel Adderley, Charlotte Barlow, Alexander Barrett, Gabriella Beckhurst, Ally Clark, Letty Clarke, Stefano Cozzi, Maisie Dolan, Vivian Ezugha, Andy Gomez, Beth Kettel, James Parkinson, Faye Spencer, Tommy Ting and Jade Wilford.

The exhibition will occupy Wysing’s gallery, with additional works installed around the site. Works include sound and video installation, sculpture, drawing, photography, site-specific and installation work.

An event, on 21 August from 6-8pm, will draw the summer school to a conclusion and will include film screenings, durational performance and readings by the Scholars, to supplement the exhibited works. The exhibition will also be open. Please do join us.

Iyengar Yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga that emphasises detail, precision and alignment in the execution of the postures and breath control. The Iyengar method is a carefully graded system adapted for individual needs. Props, such as blocks and belts may be used to improve understanding of the postures. The class will consider how yoga practice might function as a discourse in exercise, serving to work ideology through the body. Fully qualified Iyengar Yoga teacher Arabella Wright will lead the class. Beginners are welcome and all equipment will be provided.
