Last event at Oldknows studios!

On Saturday the 31st January, from 11.00 to 14.00 the +ARA project is proud to present work by the Korean artist Jimin Chun, who recently competed a residency at the Oldknows studio.

At the same time there will be a big Freecycle/ art Sale event in the Oldknows building. It will be the last chance to visit artist's studios in the Oldknows before they close down.

We will be giving away lots of free stuff (wood, tins of paint, frames, boards) and putting our art work for sale/swap.

Come along with a trolley!

Please forward this info to anyone who might be interested in supporting our last event at Oldknows!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

SOVIET POSTERS 1943-1945

SOVIET POSTERS - 1943-1945

Admission Free

Friday 05 December - Sunday 22 March
Open All Day

Weston Gallery

FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM’S MANUSCRIPTS AND
SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

Russia is under attack: all are called to bolster the war effort, even artists and poets. They created an extraordinary set of posters. Some were handmade (called ‘windows’), while some were printed, with cartoons or sentimental images, and biting or emotive captions. The posters were responses to the war news channelled by the Soviet Telegraphic Agency (TASS) which sponsored the painters and writers. The Windows were stencilled in hundreds, while the printed posters had runs of thousands. Their life was short, their relevance brief, but their impact vivid. Relatively few of the original 1250 Windows survive but an exceptional collection of 129 posters is held by The University of Nottingham, within the research holdings of Manuscripts and Special Collections.

The original posters are now fragile, requiring special preservation conditions, but their colours still vibrant: digital reproduction techniques have made possible this rare exhibition, the first from the University collection.
