CONSTRUCTS: Katie Hare / Callum Hill / Ellie Power @ LUX
Oct 1 @ 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm
CONSTRUCTS: Katie Hare / Callum Hill / Ellie Power @ LUX | London | England | United Kingdom

CONSTRUCTS is the inaugural exhibition at LUX’s new home in Waterlow Park, in Highgate. It marks LUX’s return to Camden, where its predecessor organisation, the London Film-Makers’ Co-operative, was based for more than three decades.

Curated by Matt Carter, the exhibition features work by three emerging London-based artists who graduated this year: Katie Hare (MFA Goldsmiths), Callum Hill (MA RCA), and Ellie Power (BA Wimbledon). Their work spans across HD video, CGI, gaming networks, installation, animation, found footage and 16mm film, with each artist’s diverse practice engaging with and utilising moving image in its many forms today. The works presented in this exhibition interrogate the constructs of the mediums themselves, the latent power they might hold, and examine their relationships to individual and collective cultural constructs.

CONSTRUCTS continues the partnership initiated in 2014 between Art Licks Weekend and LUX for the Moving Image programme of the festival.

Starting and finshing at Golders Green, this is a country walk inside London. It is suitable for existing, new and prospective members. Despite being well within London it is over 85% on tracks and paths , passes through several ancient woodlands and visits many bodies of water. It even goes along a disused railway line.

It is a good opportunity for prospective members or those just thinking about joining to meet existing members and find out more about the Central London Outdoors Group

If you can’t make this walk, please tell your friends as they might be interested
I will lead you past West Heath,  Parliament Hill (with one of the very best views of the City) and Highgate Ponds. Ascending Highgate Hill, we will   continue to Highgate Wood where I intend stopping  for lunch (you can buy a meal or a drink  or bring your own picnic to eat on the adjoining lawn) After going through Queens Wood we pass Highgate underground station (it is possible to leave the walk here),The Parkland Walk path is a ribbon of green woods high above the houses on  disused railway line. Crossing high above the Archway  we walk through  Waterlow Park to Highgate Village  then descend to Hampstead Heath passing Kenwood House Ken Wood itself and the strange oaks of Sandy Heath and the North End. Finally we walk down the Heath Extension before turning off to return to the start at Golders Green

Coffee and Computers at Highgate School @ Highgate School Library - main entrance opposite The Gatehouse Pub
Oct 12 @ 4:05 pm – 5:30 pm

Would you like a bit of friendly help with your phone, laptop or tablet? Just head to the Highgate School Library for an afternoon of free, informal one-to-one computer familiarisation sessions over a nice cup of coffee. We do tea as well. And cake!

If you don’t yet possess any electronic gadgets, don’t worry, we do and we’d love you to come and play with them.

“This is so wonderful! It’s easy – when you know how! Thank you” says 75 year old Highgate Coffee & Computers friend, who has just worked out how to move all his pictures from his phone to his tablet.

If you want more info, give Stuart a call on 020 8347 2411 (quoting Highgate Coffee & Computers). You can also email us on highgatecoffeeandcomputers@gmail.com to tell us what you want to know more about.

Please note the volunteers at these sessions are pupils from the school, ranging in age from 11 to 18 years old.  The School has a duty of care to these young people and would be very grateful if you could be mindful of maintaining appropriate interaction with them. Please consider issues such as your language, your expectations regarding the type of matter you raise with the pupils, and the sort of information that the pupils may see on your documents or particular webpages.

If you have any queries then please don’t hesitate to raise them with the members of staff at the session.

If you plan to come, it would be helpful to know, though it is not obligatory.

Warm regards

Exhibition of oil paintings by Evelyn Korn @ Highgate Gallery
Oct 14 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

EVELYN KORN

Highgate Gallery
14-27 October 2016

There will be something to surprise and delight everyone in this powerful and original show.

Evelyn’s work draws inspiration from the patterns, shapes and colours of both the natural world and man-made environments, seeking out the unusual in the everyday, effectively conveying the vividness and vibrancy of life whatever the subject matter.

Cars piled up in an Edmonton scrap yard are as considered with as much originality as the hot beaches of Spain or the fields of Provence. Paintings of Evelyn’s local Southgate are striking in their powerful intensity, whilst the Dorset landscapes are quieter and more tranquil. Unusual juxtapositions add a surreal quality which elevates the mundane to the marvellous. She experiments with scale, offering a variety of canvases from the very large to the small and playful.

An active artist all her life, Evelyn studied at St Martin’s School of Art and at Middlesex University where she gained her B.Ed and BA honours degrees and post graduate diploma. Qualified as a teacher in secondary school Art and Ceramics, she taught in Enfield secondary schools whilst bringing up a young family.

Evelyn’s paintings, often in conjunction with her ceramics, have been exhibited in the Ben Uri gallery in London, in Lyme Regis, Middlesex University, Burgh House, Millfield House in Edmonton and at HLSI Members’ Exhibitions. This exciting exhibition focuses entirely on oil paintings on canvas, a medium she feels is most suitable for conveying vibrancy and depth of colour.

Gallery open Tuesday-Friday 1-5pm, Saturday 11am-4pm, Sunday 11am-5pm; closed Mondays.
