SUMMARY:Exhibition: Creative Unions (16 Sep - 21 Oct)
DESCRIPTION:The contemporary world must be defined not by boundary or binary but connection. Sharing the work of this year’s graduating Central Saint Martins students\, Creative Unions celebrates the power of designers to challenge isolationism. \nAt the heart of the London Design Festival’s King’s Cross design district\, visit Creative Unions to see how – from a board game to solve conflict or a sustainable solution for the housing crisis to fashion that’s part-propaganda – the next generation of designers are responding to current contexts with urgency and ingenuity. Identity\, collaboration\, conflict resolution\, community\, alternative realities\, technological innovation\, social issues\, the environment\, activism\, crossings – just some of the contexts of the work on show in Creative Unions. \nClick here to find out more about the designers exhibiting.

SUMMARY:Basic Instincts (Exhibition runs from 29 Sep 2017 — 07 Jan 2018)
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Dr Jacqueline Riding\, Basic Instincts explores Georgian attitudes to love\, desire and female respectability through the radical paintings of Joseph Highmore.  \nA highly successful artist and Governor of London’s Foundling Hospital\, Joseph Highmore (1692-1780) is best known as a portrait painter of the Georgian middle class. However\, during the 1740s his art radically shifted\, reflecting his engagement with the work of the new Foundling Hospital and its mission to support desperate and abused women. Highmore’s involvement with the Hospital sparked engagement with issues around women’s vulnerability to sexual assault and society’s unwillingness to support them\, culminating in a work of exceptional power\, The Angel of Mercy (c.1746). \nBasic Instincts is the first major Highmore exhibition for 50 years and explores this decade of disruptive social commentary in his art. Amongst the works on display are four paintings from a series of twelve\, inspired by Samuel Richardson’s international bestseller\, Pamela\, or Virtue Rewarded\, explicitly making reference to the abuse and sexual violence at the core of the novel. On public display in the UK for the first time as part of Basic Instincts is a remarkable painting that still retains the power to shock. The Angel of Mercy depicts a desperate mother in the act of killing her baby\, with the distant Foundling Hospital presented as the alternative. Set among Highmore’s tender portraits of mothers and children\, family and friends\, this show uniquely demonstrates the artist’s depth and variety. \nFree entry with musuem admission\, click here for more information.

SUMMARY:Raft of the Medusa (Exhibition runs until 29 Sep 2017 - 07 Jan 2018)
DESCRIPTION:The Foundling Museum displays a series of five previously unseen sculptures by acclaimed artist Rachel Kneebone\, providing a resonant counterpoint to their exhibition Basic Instincts. \nRachel Kneebone is a British artist whose intricate works address and question the human condition. Raft of the Medusa’s tumbling limbs and fractured swags are at once coquettish and sinister; their gleaming white surfaces and exquisite detail belie scenes of collapse and dismemberment. \nUsing porcelain\, a delicate material traditionally associated with Rococo exuberance and fine tableware\, Kneebone subverts viewers’ expectations. Visibly exploiting the material properties of porcelain\, she deliberately allows her work to distort and crack in the kiln\, inviting the viewer to question the relationship between strength and vulnerability. \nThis display in the Museum’s historic rooms distils and abstracts the Foundling Hospital’s suppressed narratives of sexual desire\, emotional damage\, and female strength\, whilst also referencing ideas of displacement\, refuge\, and resilience. To discover more about Kneebone’s work\, hear the artist and Museum Director Caro Howell in conversation on Friday 6 October. \nFree entry with musuem admission\, click here for more information.
