This award winning garden (voted ‘Best Back Garden’ by the London Gardens Society in 2015) is home to the ‘Corokia’ National Collection, and to many other unusual Australasian and Mediterranean plants complemented in recent years by ‘Restios’ from South Africa and interesting exotics.The emphasis of the garden is on texture, shapes and contrasting foliage colour. Well worth a visit this Sunday. Tea and homemade cakes will be on by the Friends of Harington.
Using key works from the LUX archive – the largest collection of artists film and video in the country – this short introductory course will trace and discuss artists’ engagement with the moving image throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, from the early pioneers of the 1920s to contemporary practitioners. We will explore through active discussion the relationship between art and cinema and the place and role of the moving image within contemporary visual arts today.
No previous knowledge is required, just a curiosity to see and find out more about this fascinating area of art practice.
