Tom Green – Castle
Installation |
 |
Chelsea College of Art Student
Tom Green will be creating a site-specific installation at
the Oxford Castle site for one day only. His installation
will take place in the Castle Garden, behind the Malmaison
hotel and O3 Gallery. The work aims to create a dialogue
between the Malmaison hotel rooms/cells and the outer space.
An accumulation of restored and adapted furniture will reflect
the inner hotel space onto the grass area behind it. Green’s
practice endeavors to evoke lost relationships with place. |

the genre. The drawings in this exhibition will include landscape

Christ
Church Collection |
 |
Christ Church
is unique among the Oxford and Cambridge colleges in possessing
an important collection of Old Master paintings and drawings
- some 300 paintings and almost 2000 drawings.
The collection is strong in Italian art, from the 14th to
the 18th century:
there are paintings by early, often anonymous masters, and
works by Fillippino Lippi, Tintoretto, Veronese and Annibale
Carracci, to name but a few, as well as works by notable
northern painters such as Van Dyck, Frans Hals and Hugo van
der Goes.
The Picture Gallery at Christ Church represents one of the
most important private collections of drawings in the country,
including works by renowned masters such as Leonardo, Michelangelo,
Durer, Raphael and Rubens. However, for reasons of conservation
these works cannot be on permanent display. |

Vaulting Ambition |

In 1788 King George III
and Queen Charlotte came to Cheltenham to take the waters
