考陶德開放時間 – 插曲 2 S2: Past Orders – Art and Social Scenes

Open Courtauld Hour – The Courtauld Institute of Art’s weekly digital instalment on all things art history – is back!

With pubs being the first places to be closed, and most likely last to be opened, in the UK’s approach to tackling Covid-19, this episode begins and ends by delving into the life of London’s favourite artwork and the Courtauld’s most iconic painting, Édouard Manet’s ‘A Bar at the Folies-Bergère’. Often considered a pivotal work in the depiction of modern life, this work has taken on new signification in this age of social distancing and isolation. In this session we will consider the relationship between art and social scenes — the role of the pub in arts subject matter, its genesis and as a site of art historical dissemination and learning. With the help of our curator Karen Serres (Curator of Paintings at the Courtauld Gallery), specialists in the field such as Matt Lodder (Senior Lecturer in Art History & Director of US Studies at University of Essex specialising in art history in the pub and the history of tattoos as art) and Florence Ostende (Curator at the Barbican and of the showstopping exhibition ‘Into the Night: Cabarets and Clubs in Modern Art’) and drag artist Asifa Lahore (Presenter and Britain’s first out Muslim drag queen) we will reinstate the pub as a both a site of social interaction and creative practice, historically and now in 2020.

這個在線迷你係列將提供簡潔的一小時彈出講座包, 表演和詳細的對象研究課程，探索和慶祝我們的收藏, 藝術史研究, 策展和保護.

該系列將觸及相關問題——通過藝術史領域放大當代社會思維. These episodes will explore how the public, artists and galleries are adapting to a digital world, showcasing art historical research in light of this global pandemic and providing a platform for creative practice in the age of social distancing.

最重要的是, 因為藝術與所有人有關, 這些非正式會議將使與會者有機會訪問, engage and read art and art history through a different lens— revamping and rethinking art historical discussions through food, pubs and poetry. 這些劇集將提供新的視角, 藝術實踐的新途徑, 通過影響我們所有人的主題來看待藝術並閱讀其歷史.
