Please join us for a literary discussion between authorIRIS WOLFF, her publisher, MONIQUE CHARLESWORTH of MOTH BOOKS, and the translatorRUTH MARTIN. BLURRED (original title DIE UNSCHÄRFE DER WELT) is Iris Wolff's fourth novel and the first to be translated into English. A powerful novel of migration, identity and loss deeply informed by the fall of the Eastern bloc and by Iris Wolff’s own family history. In rural Transylvania, a young wife fearing for her unborn child takes a cart ride through all-enveloping snow. That child, Samuel, grows up under the brutal Ceausescu regime in Romania, where language masks truth and even minor acts have repercussions. What happens when one leaves, but others must stay behind? This ‘magical feat of imagination’ (Süddeutsche Zeitung) has received tremendous reviews, was a best-seller in Germany and nominated for the German Book Prize in 2020. ‘Iris Wolff’s books travel in time and across borders, they address the complexity of history using every shade of feeling—and such exciting plots. Readers and booksellers adore her. I’m thrilled to introduce these future classics to the English-speaking world’- Monique Charlesworth, publisher, Moth Books, in The Bookseller Find more info here: Events | Goethe-Institut UK Iris Wolff was born in the medieval town of Sibiu, Transylvania, emigrated as a child and now lives in Freiburg.

Her fiction resurrects the past and explores the lost world of her childhood in a region that for centuries was a melting pot of ethnicities and languages. Ruth Martin studied English literature before gaining a PhD in German. She has been translating fiction and non-fiction books since 2010, and in 2020 was co-winner of the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation. Ruth has taught at the University of Kent and the Bristol Translates summer school, and is a former co-chair of the UK’s Translators Association.

Welcome to TAKING PLACE: WOMEN ARTISTS IN PUBLIC SPACES conference. Join us at King's College London on Wednesday 24 June 2025 to collectively and proactively rethink commissioning art in public to embrace the often unconventional ways and public spaces in which women artists work. The conference is convened by Claire Mander, theCOLAB The Artist's Garden and Dr Kate McMillan, King's College London (artist/academic and author of three Freelands Foundation Reports on the Representation of Women artists in the UK). It brings together prominent thinkers and doers including art historians (Natalie Rudd), writers (The White Pube), commissioners (Claire Doherty/Situations and Bridget Sawyers/Tideway), local authorities (Westminster City Council), artists (including Fiona Banner aka The Vanity Press RA) and institutions (Yorkshire Sculpture Park/National Museum for Women in the Arts, Washington DC). They will explore how to put neglected public spaces back into use, adopt new commissioning models, create frameworks for accountability, and measure impact to achieve greater gender parity in the field of art in public. The conference format will be disrupted by a new series of site-specific commissions. They are ‘The River's Stomach (Songs of Empire)’ an audio-visual intervention by Dr. Kate McMillan into the Strand Lane Roman Baths; ‘Your meaning not your materiality (YMNYM)’, a performance lecture by Florence Peake and a walking performance by Daisy Collingridge that leads us to The Artist’s Garden, the site of the group exhibition: MARY MARY. As the world’s first sculpture garden dedicated to the work of women artists, it is where the idea for the conference began and provides a fitting backdrop to continue discussions. The conference will take place between the Anatomy Lecture Theatre and the Anatomy Museum, at King's College London. A full conference timetable will be shared in April. Tickets are offered in return for donations to theCOLAB charity of either £25 (standard) or £12 (student / low income). All tickets include tea, coffee and a vegetarian lunch served on the campus. All proceeds are direct contributions to the administrative costs of the conference incurred by theCOLAB (Reg. Charity No. 1209046) and for no other purpose. Tickets are limited, book early to avoid disappointment! There is an early bird discount of 10% offered on the first 15 tickets booked. About theCOLAB theCOLAB is an independent women-led collaborative laboratory which brings together people, land and art by realising artists’ most far-flung and life-affirming work in response to places beyond the confines of the white cube for the public. theCOLAB is a registered charity no.1209046. www.thecolab.art / @thecolab.art About the Artist’s Garden The Artist’s Garden transformed the neglected half acre rooftop on Temple tube station into the world’s first sculpture garden dedicated to the work of women artists, who have created only 13% of public sculptures in London. The Artist’s Garden is a beacon of good practice in putting back into use neglected public space, sustainable commissioning practices and providing concrete opportunities for women to make their first, early or greatest outdoor sculptural intervention. It is a platform for the appreciation of the achievements of women by the public and by our 13 – 16 year old City Lions outreach groups. The current exhibition of nine women artists, MARY MARY, forms the backdrop to the conference and is part of a programme including commissions and theCOLAB/Royal College of Art/Yorkshire Sculpture Park Graduate Award residency. It is realised in close partnership with and supported by Westminster City Council, Nina and Samuel Wisnia, with the kind permission of LUL/Transport for London. About Dr Kate McMillan, Academic and Artist Dr Kate McMillan is a Reader in Creative Practice in the Department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries at King’s College London. Her research engages with histories connected to colonial violence and women’s knowledges, as well as inequalities in the contemporary art world. She is the author of Contemporary Art & Unforgetting in Colonial Landscapes: Islands of Empire (Palgrave McMillan), which investigates female artists in the Global South and the ways their practices defy colonial amnesia. She is also the author of three Freelands Foundation Reports on the Representation of Women artists in the UK, as well as various academic publications on gender inequality in the art world. As an artist, she works across media including film, sound, installation, sculpture, and performance. Her work addresses a number of key ideas including the role of art in attending to impacts of the Anthropocene, lost and systemically forgotten histories of women, and the residue of colonial violence in the present. As well as co-convening the conference, she will be presenting a new site-specific intervention into the Strand Lane ‘Roman Baths’ (free and open from 22 May – 2 July 2025 from 12 pm – 5pm Wednesday to Saturday) https://www.katemcmillan.net/ https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/dr-kate-mcmillan About Daisy Collingridge At the core of Daisy Collingridge’s practice is an exploration and celebration of the human form, working across sculpture, photography and performance, she delves into its anatomical properties with quilted flesh and limbs, harnessing a tactile and haptic quality of softness and colour. Growing up in a medical family, the body and its workings were considered matter of fact, In the hands of Collingridge, they became matter of fiction and imagination as she became fascinated with giving form to what lies inside. For the first time, the artist is releasing her wearable sculptures from the domestic settings where she creates photographic portraits of them alone or in groups. Empowered by their exaggerated, genderless fleshiness, they will take to the streets of London as part of Taking Place: Women Artists in Public Spaces. Collingdridge took her BA in Fashion Design from Central St Martin’s College of Art in 2014 and was the Sarabande Foundation Artist in Residence from 2020 – 22. She has exhibited widely including at TJ Boulting, British Textile Biennial and internationally at Textiel Museum, Tilberg, Netherlands, Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, USA. About Florence Peake Florence Peake presents a performance lecture in the historic setting of the King’s College London’s Anatomy Museum where she will dissect and examine concepts underlying her expansive project ‘Your meaning not your materiality (YMNYM)’. Through performance, outdoor sculpture and a solo exhibition, Peake seeks to solidify the invisible space between bodies and to explore the resonance of objects and absence in the aftermath of loss. She will find ways to give form to the starkness and strength of the absence left by what has disappeared. Peake is a London-based artist known for her solo and group performance works and extensive visual art practice, since 1995. Her approach is at once sensual and witty, expressive and rigorous. By encouraging chaotic relationships between the body and material, Peake creates radical and outlandish performances. YMNYM premiered at Leeds Art Gallery 2024 and other exhibitions include Factual Actual Exhibition and Performance from The National Gallery, SPG, Fruitmarket Edinburgh, Towner Gallery EastBourne; Hayward Gallery’s touring British Art Show 9, Venice Biennale 2019; CRAC Occitanie, Sète, France, London Contemporary Music Festival, UK (2018),De La Warr Pavilion, Palais De Tokyo, Paris, Hayward Gallery, Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridge.

Treasures: Creation, Emulation & ImitationFrom the earliest cave painters to the stars of today, artists have balanced invention with imitation. Imitation looks to nature - the human form or the shape of a flower - but artists also imitate each other. In some cases imitation is loose and a point of departure; in others it is exact but made as honest copies; and in yet others it is done to impersonate and to deceive. This seminar looks at a wide range of media from the Middle Ages to the 19th century including art treasures, the 18th century 'Porcelain Fever' of Augustus the Strong, the 19th century Arts & Crafts movement, royal sculptural collections, gold boxes and more, and will explore to what extent the works were creations, emulations or imitations.

Dr Jonathan Foyle is a world renowned architectural historian who, amongst his other accomplishments, has authored seven volumes on great cathedrals and castles. In this 3-lecture study day, he draws on a 30-year career in the historic environment to offer in-depth and fresh analyses of architecture and the arts, especially their all-important symbolism, through which we can better understand what their makers are trying to communicate. How to 'Read' Great Churches Britain is peppered with medieval churches, great and small: they are some of our most familiar buildings. But when we stop and look at them carefully, we can begin to decipher messages and meanings in form, detail and even situation. This talk combines much original work gained in writing six volumes on English churches. It presents an essential guide on how to think about these enigmatic and deeply narrative places, so that their makers can better communicate with us across the centuries. A Paradise Garden: the Hidden Meanings of Medieval Flowers Our churches and cathedrals are packed with symbols that make much better sense if you understand the meanings and associations behind them. The speaker presents a guide to how to see through medieval eyes, using manuscripts and paintings to emphasise the world-view that saw order and meaning expressed through the colours, numbers, shapes and behaviour of plants and animals. Once you see the logic of the language, there's no going back! The Nature of the Beast: Understanding Fabulous Animals in Medieval Art Medieval bestiaries are wondrously colourful worlds, blending fact with fiction, morality with mythology. They represent an understanding of the physical world, but also fulfilled the need for symbolic creatures to supplement biblical stories, offering a wide array of noble or crude behaviours with which to compare ourselves. What happened if you chased a bonnacon? What was a beaver's superpower? What did owls mean? And how did animals graduate from bestiaries into the realm of heraldry? In the course of an hour, we'll explore all these and more. Information Source: The Arts Society | eventbrite

Freud e o Homem dos Ratos em Cena leva ao palco o célebre caso de neurose obsessiva apresentado por Freud no Congresso de Psicanálise de 1908. O espetáculo narra os conflitos de Ernst Lanzer, um jovem advogado dividido entre o amor proibido e os interesses familiares, enquanto enfrenta obsessões e rituais relacionados a traumas de infância e complexas relações familiares. O público é convidado a entrar no consultório de Freud e acompanhar o processo analítico, desde a manifestação dos sintomas até seu desvendamento. A dramaturgia utiliza a linguagem teatral para explorar o funcionamento do inconsciente e o papel central da transferência, revelando como as interpretações de Freud conduzem o paciente à compreensão e ao alívio de seu sofrimento. Com uma abordagem que une arte e psicanálise, a peça oferece uma experiência única e envolvente, iluminando os mecanismos que regem as escolhas e os dilemas humanos.
