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.

The Boys From Syracuse @ Upstairs at The Gatehouse

“If it’s good enough for Shakespeare, it’s good enough for us.”

Rodgers and Hart’s classic 1938 musical comedy adaptation of The Comedy of Errors returns to the London stage for its debut at Upstairs at the Gatehouse, in a madcap tale of mistaken identity, danger and romance in ancient Greece!

Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio, arrive in Ephesus as part of a long search for their respective identical twins from whom they were separated as children during a shipwreck. But citizens of Syracuse caught in Ephesus are subject to the death penalty. As fate has it, there’s another Antipholus who’s an established citizen of Ephesus, served by another Dromio. Confusions multiply as wives are baffled by husbands, one twin is wrongly jailed and Antipholus of Syracuse falls in love with his wife’s sister – or does he?

Arguably Rodgers and Hart’s best, the score includes the hit songs Falling in Love with LoveThis Can’t Be Love and Sing for Your Supper.

Music by Richard Rodgers; Lyrics by Lorenz Hart; Book by George Abbott

From Home Solo Exhibition @ Lauderdale House
Oct 2 @ 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.
