| ‘Victory
or Death’ – 25 years of socialist political
posters 1967-1992 |
|
 |
Monday
1st - Friday 19th February: For
the first time in the UK, more than 50
original posters produced by OSPAAAL (the
Havana based ‘Organisation of Support for
the Peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America’)
will be on public display at The North
Wall Arts Centre, Oxford.
OSPAAAL came into being against a background
of the struggle against colonialism, the
fight against apartheid in South Africa,
white domination in Zimbabwe, the problems
of the Palestinians, the failed invasion
of Cuba by the US, the Vietnam War and
the actions of Che Guevara, still fresh
from his success in the Cuban Revolution
and now attempting to incite revolution
in Bolivia.
The posters are short on word but long
on design – making their message simple
to understand without the barrier of language.
They show the extraordinary creative skill
of a little known band of Cuban graphic
designers and artists. Virulently hostile
to imperialism and colonialism, they offer
a unique and fascinating insight into a
political system whose byword was ‘Victory
or Death’. |

| Susan
Moxley - A Celebration of Women and the Female
Form |
|
 |
Monday
22nd February - Saturday 13th March: Susan
Moxley is an Oxford-based artist. This
exhibition is the culmination of a year’s
work. Her 100 portraits of women hang side
by side to form one enormous painting.
Each woman is individual, has her own space
and story ... yet, seen as a group, they
force us to ask: Who are they? What is
their relation to each other? Where are
they from and what are the battles each
has had to face? Susan answers one of these
questions by graphically showing her own
major life-changing experience since the
start of this project. |

- Karen Purple |
|
 |
| Monday
19th April - Thursday 6th May: Inspired
by an interest in natural history and the
work of both the biologist and the landscape
historian, Karen Purple engages with the
formation of a landscape and the organic
materials within it. Her work derives from
a daily connection to countryside and through
walking and collecting natural substances
and objects. A personal journal develops,
of remembered responses and experiences
that go on to inform her paintings. |

Christ
Church Picture Gallery
Christ Church
Picture Gallery Entrance via Oriel
Square, Oxford.
Tel: 01865 276172.
Opening hours: 1st October - 30 April:
Mon - Sat 10.30 - 1.00 & 2.00
- 4.30 and Sunday 2.00 - 4.00.
www.chch.ox.ac.uk
Entrance: Adults - £3.00, Conc - £2.00, U12s
– Free. Members of the University and Oxford
Brookes – Free. ICOM, Art Fund, Museum Association & A.A.H
members – Free. The admission charge includes
entry to all temporary exhibitions on display
at the time of your visit.
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. |

| The Poetry
of Draped Figures |
|
 |
| Until 7th
February: How
drapery and clothes enrobe the human figure
and how to depict the varied qualities
of material was and remains one of the
challenges in art. With more than thirty
old master drawings this exhibition will
explore a seemingly mundane topic and will
illustrate its richness and creative power.
Works on display include an early sheet
(c. 1400) with column-like, cloaked figures,
Leonardo da Vinci's Study of a Sleeve and
drapery studies by Figino, one of Leonardo's
followers. Despite their practical qualities
all the drawings - in their rendering of
the folds, play with light and shade and
lines that follow or defeat the imagined
body underneath - can equally be regarded
as abstract poetic forms. |
|
| |
| After
Michelangelo |
|
 |
Tuesday
16th February - Sunday 16th May: Michelangelo
Buonarroti (1475 - 1564) is regarded as
the most influential artists of all times.
His fresco of the Last Judgement in the
Sistine Chapel in the Vatican is the most
replicated work of art. Artists from Raphael
to Tintoretto copied his works in order
to further their own artistic ideas.
This
exhibition brings together thirty-three
drawings from the Christ Church collection
of Old Masters to trace and understand
Michelangelo's genius through his followers,
imitators and admirers. |

| Pawel
Althamer: Common Task and Miroslaw Balka:
Topography |
|
 |
Until Sunday
7th March: Pawel
Althamer is considered as one of the most
innovative artists of his generation. Merging
the traditions of sculpture with radical
interventions, he orchestrates situations
and events involving communities of people
in real time and public places. His highly
engaging and often devastatingly simple
works translate alternative or parallel
realities to the ones we experience in
everyday life.
Over the past ten years the acclaimed sculptor
Miroslaw Balka has been making concise
and moving video works. Topography introduces
this compelling and little known work and
offers fresh insight into the work of one
of the most important artists working today. |
