Professor Derek Matravers
Wednesday 12 November 2014 6-8pm
Admission Free Professor and philosopher Derek Matravers will discuss the exhibition Edge of Ordinary at the Espacio Gallery in the presence of the artists and the public. Professor Matravers will take up the themes of pre-modernity, modernity and post-historical art-making in the context of Edge of Ordinary, thereby plaiting philosophy, art theory and art criticism together. Matravers’ two most recent works are Fiction and Narrative (OUP, 2014) and a co-edited (with Damien Freeman) collection of essays entitled, Figuring Out Figurative Art: Contemporary Philosophers on Contemporary Paintings (Routledge, 2014). |
Illustrated Talks About The East End of London
Thursday 25 September 2014 7pm
Speakers: Alan Gilbey, Roger Mills and Zena Sullivan Admission Free The artists in the exhibition have researched ideas about the neighbourhood that surrounds Espacio Gallery. To add to this there will be a series of short talks about the local area and its history by this great line-up of speakers: ► Alan Gilbey of East End Backpassages tours and book fame will give an illustrated talk of the real stories about the area. “Backpassage Walks are a hilarious alternative to the normal blue badge tours around East London, whilst remaining historically accurate and extremely informative. Alan Gilbey is the real thing, a genuine Eastender who knows his material intimately and an extraordinary performer and writer. I cannot recommend his walks too highly.” -Rachel Lichtenstein, author of Diamond Street, On Brick Lane and Rodinski’s Room with Iain Sinclair. ► Roger Mills, author of the book Everything Happens in Cable Street. ► Zena Sullivan, an official City of London guide. |

Chat Circle & Poetry
Saturday 8 March 2014 3-6pm
Performance Artist: Agnieszka Niklewska 5pm Admission Free Time = Change, 6-18 March 2014 at Espacio Gallery, takes a sweeping historical perspective on women’s struggle for social, sexual, political and cultural equality, acknowledging the remarkable accomplishments which early feminists might not have dreamed of, whilst confronting the darker realities of the many battles not yet won. Throughout history it has always been popular to despair at the state of contemporary society and to insist, as some politicians and newspapers still do, that ‘things can only get worse’, or at the very least that progress cannot be achieved and the status quo is somehow pre-ordained. But the pessimism of the naysayers is ill-founded. Even a cursory glance at history shows the astonishing achievements of liberation movements which have ended slavery, won votes and many other rights for women and ethnic minorities and have now brought marriage rights to same-sex couples in many Western nations.
