Open-Air Thursday: John Etheridge and Vimala Rowe @ Lauderdale House
Aug 15 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

John Etheridge’s Blue Spirits are coming back to light up our Tea Lawn this summer, once again accompanied by the dulcet tones of jazz legend Vimala Rowe.

Led by internationally renowned Guitar legend John Etheridge, Blue Spirits is completed by Pete Whittaker (Organ) and George Double (Drums).

Drawing on a vast reservoir of musical experience spanning over 50 years, Etheridge distils the bluesier side of his musical world in a repertoire that has intensity and emotion as its main quality, with subtlety, fluidity and interaction as its centre. Pete Whittaker is a superb accompanist, and soloist and drummer George Double is celebrated for his drive and invention.

The Trio will be joined by special guest vocalist Vimala Rowe, known for her soulful and passionate delivery.

From Home Solo Exhibition @ Lauderdale House
Sep 11 @ 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm
From Home Solo Exhibition @ Lauderdale House

‘From Home’ is a solo exhibition by the artist Xinan Yang, opening in conjunction with the Moon Festival, the lunar celebration honouring the full moon and the family union. The exhibition showcases two distinct series of Yang’s work, each providing a profound reflection on family, identity, and the evolving concept of home.

 

Xinan Yang is renowned for her ability to create spaces that bridge the realms of imagination and reality through brushes. After her last solo show, Missing Place Missing Face, she embarked on a new exploration using family photos to delve into the concept of belonging. This series poignantly explores geographical displacement and its impact on family dynamics and self-identity. By repainting family photos without depicting faces, Yang investigates the collective memory and consciousness of how memory shapes social bodies and worlds.

 

Yang’s work is imbued with rich personal and cultural symbolism, often featuring motifs such as dogs, moons, snakes, and birds. After leaving her hometown, her dog became an emotional anchor for her parents, symbolizing the deep familial bonds and emotional connections that persist despite physical distance. Birds in her work represent both freedom and the allure of the world beyond home, mirroring the experience of many young people who leave home for study or work and return only occasionally, much like migratory birds. These motifs highlight the tension between the desire for exploration and the enduring connection to home.

 

The exhibition, curated by Yu Ying Chan, will include wall hangings that intricately blend personal narratives with broader cultural themes, offering visitors a profound reflection on family, identity, and the ever-evolving concept of home.

 

From Home will be on display in the Upper Gallery during gallery opening times from Wednesday 11 September – Monday 7 October.

The gallery is generally open:

  • Monday – Tuesday : 12pm to 4pm
  • Wednesday : 11am to 3pm
  • Thursday – Sunday : 12pm to 4pm

Please note that the gallery hours may change or the gallery may close at short notice due to private events. To avoid disappointment, please check our most up-to-date opening hours by clicking here or calling us on 020 8348 8716 the day before your visit.
