SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Private View: I am Ashurbanipal at the British Museum
DESCRIPTION:Warrior. Scholar. Empire builder. King slayer. Lion hunter. Librarian. Take a closer look at the great Assyrian king Ashurbanipal. \nKing Ashurbanipal of Assyria (r. 669–c. 631 BC) was the most powerful man on earth. He described himself in inscriptions as ‘king of the world’\, and his reign from the city of Nineveh (now in northern Iraq) marked the high point of the Assyrian empire\, which stretched from the shores of the eastern Mediterranean to the mountains of western Iran. \n___________________________________________________________________________________ \nAshurbanipal proved himself worthy of protecting his people through displays of strength\, such as hunting lions. Like many rulers of the ancient world\, he liked to boast about his victories in battle and brutally crushed his enemies. However\, this vast and diverse empire was controlled through more than just brute force. Ashurbanipal used his skills as a scholar\, diplomat and strategist to become one of Assyria’s greatest rulers. \nDespite his long and successful reign\, Ashurbanipal’s death is shrouded in mystery. Shortly afterwards\, the Assyrian empire fell and the great city of Nineveh was destroyed in 612 BC\, its ruins lost to history until the 1840s. Their rediscovery has allowed us to piece together a portrait of the powerful and complex ruler that was Ashurbanipal. \nThis major exhibition tells the story of Ashurbanipal through the British Museum’s unparalleled collection of Assyrian treasures and rare loans. Step into Ashurbanipal’s world through displays that evoke the splendour of his palace\, with its spectacular sculptures\, sumptuous furnishings and exotic gardens. Marvel at the workings of Ashurbanipal’s great library\, the first in the world to be created with the ambition of housing all knowledge under one roof. Come face to face with one of history’s greatest forgotten kings. \nBook your ticket here.

SUMMARY:Artists under the skin - Exhibition Launch and Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This February\, to mark the opening of a new exhibition at the Royal College of Physicians\, join Annette Wickham\, curator of Works on Paper at the Royal Academy of Arts\, as she discusses artists’ engagement with anatomy.\n \nThrough 2D drawings\, prints and illustrations and 3D écorché figures\, many of which sourced from the RA’s collections\, this lecture will explore artists’ exploration of anatomy in predominantly the 18th and 19th centuries\, while addressing the controversial question of how much anatomical knowledge artists really needed. \nBook your tickets now \nWhat’s Under the Skin?\nHow artists through the centuries have represented the three-dimensionality of the body is the central question a new exhibition at the Royal College of Physicians Museum will ask. \nOpen to the public from 1 February\, Under the skin: Illustrating the human body exhibits the intricate\, breathtaking and multi-dimensional manner with which Physicians\, surgeons\, artists and printers have illustrated the human anatomy. From simple woodcuts to high-tech MRI scans\, the drawings\, books and objects from the RCP archive and collections capture beautiful and unsettling interpretations of the shapes\, structures and textures of organs and tissues. \nThese efforts to render the anatomy in three dimensions are often masterpieces of art and science. \nVisit the exhibition to explore the artistry and innovation of anatomical illustration from the medieval world to the present day. \nPart of Thinking 3D\, an interdisciplinary exploration of the concept and communication of three-dimensionality and its impact on the arts and sciences. \n

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Private Tour: SHATTERED: Pogrom\, November 1938
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Quarter is delighted to invite staff from Knowledge Quarter organisations to the next in our series of private tours\, on this occasion hosted by the Wiener Library. \nKQ staff and partner organisations will have the opportunity to have an exclusive curator tour of SHATTERED: Pogrom\, November 1938 before it closes on the 15th February. \nCan’t attend but want to receive invitations to future private views? Sign up to our updates here. \nTickets are available here. \n \nAbout SHATTERED: Pogrom\, November 1938 \nThousands of Jewish women\, men and children brutalised. 25\,000 Jewish men deported to concentration camps. Over 1\,400 synagogues desecrated. Thousands of Jewish businesses and homes looted and destroyed. Over 100 Jews murdered. \nThe events of 9-10 November 1938\, commonly called Kristallnacht\, are the focus of The Wiener Library’s new temporary exhibition. Eighty years on\, this exhibition explores exactly how the brutal events unfolded. \nThrough the eyewitness accounts gathered shortly after Kristallnacht\, the exhibition examines responses to this unprecedented\, nation-wide campaign of violence. Never-before-seen documents from the Library’s collection demonstrate German and Austrian Jews’ desperate attempts to flee\, in many cases as refugees to Britain. \nNewly curated by Dr Christine Schmidt and Dr Barbara Warnock\, Shattered explores the experiences of Jewish women\, men and children whose lives were changed forever after November 1938. Both will be on hand to answer any questions you may have about the exhibition…\n

DESCRIPTION:‘Sculpture is now a complex\, diverse and exciting activity\, moving and matching the complexity of the world’ — Edward Allington 1997 \n\nSculptures\, photographs\, drawings\, antique ledgers\, motorbike parts and toy dinosaurs are part of a new exhibition at UCL Art Museum\, celebrating the legacy of British artist Edward Allington. \nThis exhibition will serve as the first installment of UCL’s Year of Public Sculpture\, which will explore what sculpture means\, as critical conceptual devices spanning multiple forms\, from traditional materials to sound\, performance and digital media. \nThe exhibition is book-ended by one of Allington’s earliest works as a student of ceramics and his final public work in the UK: a collaboration with artist and fellow Slade Professor\, Jo Volley. Their drawing has been scaled-up to be 7.5m high to wrap around a pop-up structure in the courtyard of UCL. The work features classical columns\, as well as drawing and building instruments\, which are overlaid on a chart depicting the growth of UCL in its first 100 years. Inscribed with the UCL motto Cuncti adsint meritaeque expectent praemia palmae (Let all come who by merit deserve the most reward) the piece reflects upon the university’s development. \nEdward Allington: In pursuit of sculpture is curated by Dr Andrea Fredericksen\, Curator\, UCL Art Museum and Dr Nina Pearlman\, Head of UCL Art Collections. \n*Quote: Edward Allington\, A method for sorting cows: [essays\, 1993-97] Manchester: Metropolitan University\, 1997\, p.12.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Private Tour: Corita Kent: Power Up
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Quarter is delighted to invite staff from Knowledge Quarter organisations to the next in our series of private views\, on this occasion hosted by the House of Illustration. \nKQ staff and partner organisations will have the opportunity to have an exclusive view of Corita Kent: Power Up – The UK’s biggest ever show of work by the pop artist\, social activist and nun. \nCan’t attend but want to receive invitations to future private views? Sign up to our updates here. \n \nAbout Corita Kent: Power Up \nAdvertising slogans collide with religious texts in Corita Kent’s bright\, bold and at times controversial screen prints. This vital voice of 1960s American pop art brings the sublime to bear on the everyday\, using typography and graphic design to investigate modern life and challenge its afflictions – poverty\, racism\, and war. \nPublic protest and spiritual reflection found a shared language in Kent’s pioneering approach to art and education in Hollywood in the 1960s. The exhibition will offer a bold new perspective on a pivotal period in American art. \nRead more about the exhibition here.

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Private Tour: Child Health in London at London Metropolitan Archives
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Quarter is delighted to invite staff and friends from Knowledge Quarter organisations to the next in our series of private views. London Metropolitan Archives is pleased to present an exclusive curator tour of their new exhibition Child Health in London.\nPaediatrics\, the specialist branch of medicine dealing with children and their diseases\, was a relatively late development in Britain. It was not until the end of the Nineteenth Century\, after significant breakthroughs in medical science had provided the stimulus to tackle disproportionately high child mortality rates\, that a more coordinated approach to child healthcare provision\, culminating in the foundation of the National Health Service in 1948. \nChild Health in London explores some of these developments through a variety of themes\, concentrating on institutions\, services\, practitioners and patients. It looks at the dangers to the health of London’s children and the pioneering ways in which they were tackled. Themes include child mortality\, the establishment of specialist children’s hospitals\, developments in treatment\, school health services\, child psychiatry and child guidance\, and the arrival of the NHS; as well as preventative public health measures focusing on non-medical factors such as diet\, housing conditions\, hygiene\, lifestyle and education. \nCase studies of patients and practitioners explore the varying ways in which society viewed children\, child patients and the various medical conditions they suffered; and how contemporary attitudes affected the way patients were classified\, diagnosed and treated. \n

SUMMARY:Free Exhibition: Madam B at the Lethaby Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Visit Central Saint Martin’s Lethaby Gallery for an immersive video installation which deconstructs and recontextualises Gustave Flaubert’s novel Madame Bovary. \nUntil 15 April\, Madame B is an immersive video installation which examines the link between capitalism and romance in relation to Gustave Flaubert’s 1856 novel Madame Bovary.

SUMMARY:Jews\, Money\, Myth at the Jewish Museum
DESCRIPTION:Jews\, Money\, Myth\, a major new exhibition at Jewish Museum London\, explores the role of money in Jewish life and its often vexed place in relations between Jews and non-Jews\, from the time of Jesus to the 21st century.\nReflecting on over 2\,000 years of history\, Jews\, Money\, Myth tells the story of an abiding antisemitic trope through manuscripts\, prints\, art\, film\, literature and cultural ephemera\, from board games and cartoons to costumes and figurines. These exhibition items\, drawn together from the museum’s collection and complemented by loans from Europe\, North America and Israel\, describe the various strands which have gone into the creation of a pervasive stereotype: the theological roots of the association of Jews with money; the myths and reality of the medieval Jewish moneylender; and the place of Jews – real and imagined – in commerce\, capitalism and finance up to the present day. \nThe exhibition shows how Jewish wealth and poverty have been created by circumstances rather than ‘Jewishness’ itself. Pushed into unpopular economic roles such as usury\, some Jews lent money for interest in the Medieval period; Jewish merchants and bankers were drawn to London in the mid-late Seventeenth Century; and tens of thousands came as poor economic migrants in the Eighteenth Century. They improvised a livelihood\, begging and peddling cheap goods in town and country. These contrasting roles gave rise to stereotypes that took hold of the public imagination and have shown remarkable longevity: two are easily recognisable in well-known literary characters such as Shakespeare’s money lender Shylock\, and Dickens’ Fagin who traded in stolen goods. \nJews\, Money\, Myth explores how stereotypes linking Jews with money and power evolved in different political contexts and have been exploited for different ends. The caricature of the powerful\, rich Jew continues to inform conspiracy theories and to recur in political propaganda\, cartoons\, artworks and on social media. With populism on the rise\, the exhibition comes at a critical point in history. \nRembrandt’s Judas Returning the Thirty Pieces of Silver (1629)\, on loan from a private collection\, is one highlight of the exhibition. The biblical story of Judas Iscariot’s betrayal of Jesus for 30 pieces of silver has a significant place in the history of anti-Jewish stereotypes until the present day. Other rare and early artworks spanning almost 500 years reveal a variety of malign interpretations of the story and shed light on relations between Christians and Jews. \nSpecially commissioned work by contemporary artists are a further feature of a fascinating and provocative exhibition. \n \nThe exhibition will run from 19 March until 7 July 2019 \nOpening Times: Daily 10am – 5pm (Friday: 10am – 2pm) \nThe exhibition has been developed in collaboration with the Pears Institute for the study of Antisemitism at Birkbeck\, University of London and is generously supported by the Art Fund.  \nImage: Nutcracker in shape of Fagin\, Birmingham\, 20th century. \nThe low socio-economic position of most Jews in England and their low-status jobs led to Jews being associated with criminality. Dicken’s creation of the notorious pickpocket Fagin reflected and reinforced negative stereotypes of Jewish greed and dishonesty that existed in Georgian England.\n© Jewish Museum London \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:KQ Private View: 'Bedrooms of London' at the Foundling Museum
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a special opportunity to see the Foundling Museum’s latest exhibition out of hours. \nIn partnership with The Childhood Trust\, Bedrooms of London presents a new body of work by photographer Katie Wilson highlighting the damaging consequences for children arising from the shortage of social housing in London. Focusing on the spaces in which children are sleeping\, the photographs are shown alongside first-hand narratives from families\, and offer a poignant insight into the lives and experiences of children living in poverty across London. \nIn a city where extreme poverty and wealth exist side-by-side\, Bedrooms of London makes visible the often shocking and unseen reality of home life for the 700\,000 children currently living below the poverty line in our capital\, and challenges the prejudices and stereotypes associated with child poverty. Shown in the context of the Foundling Museum\, the exhibition builds on the story of the Foundling Hospital\, highlighting the situation today for some of London’s most vulnerable children. \nTickets will be available from 12 February here. \n
