SUMMARY:“Dangers and Delusions”? Perspectives on the women’s suffrage movement.
DESCRIPTION:Displaying items from UCL Special Collections\, this exhibition examines the actions and reactions attending the women’s suffrage movement from the 1860s up to the Representation of the People Act 1918. Satirical commentaries including Laurence Housman’s Anti-Suffrage Alphabet are set alongside campaign literature and petitions for and against legislative change. \nThe movement calling for women’s right to vote in the United Kingdom was drawn out over several decades and generated intense differences of opinion\, not only between those for and against electoral equality\, but also within pro- and anti-suffrage campaigns. This exhibition draws on items held in UCL Special Collections – satirical commentaries\, campaign literature\, personal notes and petitions – to examine the actions and reactions surrounding the case for universal suffrage\, from the 1860s up to the fi rst legislative step towards equality for women: the Representation of the People Act\, 1918.

SUMMARY:Charles Dickens: Man of Science
DESCRIPTION:In 1839\, the writer and physiologist George Henry Lewes visited Charles Dickens at Doughty Street and examined his bookshelves. He left accusing Dickens of being ‘completely outside philosophy\, science\, and the higher literature’. For over 150 years\, it was thought that Charles Dickens was either not interested in science\, or was downright hostile to it. But Dickens’s science was not the science of books or learned institutions; for Dickens\, science mattered when it transformed lives by curing disease or cleaning streets\, or opening up new vistas of wonder in a humdrum world. \nCharles Dickens: Man of Science aims to reveal Dickens not only as a scientific enthusiast\, but as the key communicator of science in the Victorian age. Displaying his writings alongside artefacts\, instruments\, and texts of the developing sciences\, we share the story of Dickens’s friendships and scientific passions. Journeying through some of Dickens’s favourite sciences – geology\, thermodynamics\, chemistry\, and medicine – we reveal that what made him a great writer was precisely what made him a man of science. \nFind out more here

SUMMARY:Sea - Jodie Carey at the Foundling Museum
DESCRIPTION:Commissioned by the Foundling Museum\, Jodie Carey has created three new site-responsive installations in response to the Foundling Hospital story. Displayed within the exhibition gallery and amongst the historic Collection\, these monumental pieces are imbued with a sense of remembrance and emotional trace. \nDrawing inspiration from the eighteenth-century fabric tokens left by mothers with their babies as a means of identification – one of the few tangible connections between mother and child – Sea is formed of hundreds of swatches of fabric that have been dipped in liquid clay and fired. These delicate ceramic fragments cover the exhibition gallery floor. Upstairs\, two monumental works cast in the earth explore ideas of memory and time. Eighteen life-size plaster sculptures crowd the Anteroom\, while in the Foyer a delicate and slender bronze sculpture stands floor to ceiling. \nCarey’s abstract and organic works seek to make visible the fragility of life and human relationships\, to acknowledge the absent presence of the thousands of children who passed through the Foundling Hospital\, and to reflect on the elemental drives at the heart of its story; love\, loss\, and survival. \nJoin the conversation #JodieCarey.

SUMMARY:Richard Woods - Upgrade
DESCRIPTION:On 1 June\, in a parking space in East London\, North London\, Richard Woods create Upgrade – a month-long site-specific installation that engages with issues of housing and urban regeneration. \nLike Wood’s contribution to the 2017 Folkestone Triennial\, Upgrade uses the form of a graphic three-dimensional caricature of a house to bring a fresh perspective to its urban location. \n\n‘I had been filling a skip with all the leftover material that we had used to build the Holiday Homes on the Folkestone Harbour Arm\, and it struck me how potent an image it made – having bits of window or chimney poking out of the skip. In the studio\, we chatted about whether it would be possible to expand the idea and make it into an object – and then out of the blue Lee emailed and introduced the project. We quickly realised we’d both had the same idea. It was the easiest pitch I have ever had to make…’

SUMMARY:London 1938: Defending 'Degenerate' German Art
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Library’s summer 2018 exhibition explores the history and context of an exhibition held in 1938 at the New Burlington Galleries in London entitled Twentieth Century German Art.  \n2018 marks the eightieth anniversary of this exhibition\, which was the most prominent international response to the Nazi campaign against ‘degenerate’ art. It remains the largest display of twentieth-century German art ever staged in Britain.The show featured over three hundred examples of modern German art\, by exactly those artists who had faced persecution in Germany: the exhibition in London in 1938 was an attempt to defend them and their work on a world stage. \nThe Wiener Library’s exhibition tells the story of the Third Reich’s campaign against ‘degenerate’ art and this response in London in 1938. The exhibition features a number of the original artworks from the New Burlington Galleries’ exhibition\, including works by Emil Nolde and Max Slevogt\, presented with the stories of their lenders in 1938. The show will also include items from The Wiener Library’s unique archival collections. \nFind out more information here.

SUMMARY:Echoes of Holloway Prison at the Islington Museum
DESCRIPTION:Holloway Prison has been an important landmark in Islington for over 150 years. Thousands of women passed through its doors until it closed in 2016. This exhibition explores their stories. \nWell-known prisoners have been held at the prison\, but there are many voices which remain unknown and unrecorded. This exhibition at Islington Museum explores stories of this highly significant place. \nHighlights of the exhibition include a prison door from the original Holloway ‘Castle’\, when it was a ‘terror to evil doers’\, a suffragette hunger-strike medal\, a prison bed from the modern prison and a banner made by Sisters Uncut who occupied part of the prison following its closure. \nThe exhibition also explores what may happen next on the site –and asks visitors to think what kind of legacy there should be to follow a place with such depth of history. \nAbout the project  \nThis project\, run by Islington Heritage\, in collaboration with Holloway Prison Stories and Middlesex University\, seeks to capture stories of this highly significant place meaning that\, even when it has gone\, the voices and echoes of Holloway Prison will remain. \nCheck out their comprehensive events schedule as part of the project here. \nOpen Monday – Saturday 10am-5pm (closed Wednesday and Sunday)
