Is That All There Is?
An exhibition of material from the University of Stirling’s Lindsay
Anderson Collection,
The James Hockey and Foyer Galleries,
University College for the Creative Arts,
Farnham
Surrey
31st January – 5 March 2008
Is That All There Is? is the first public exhibition of material from the
Lindsay Anderson Collection held by University of Stirling. It represents a
unique and idiosyncratic overview of the life and career of one of
Britain’s greatest filmmakers.
The exhibition uses objects from the collection to provide insights into
particular aspects of Anderson’s work. Selected artefacts are presented as
interesting items in their own right and when viewed as a whole, provide an
expanded view of his life and career.
Alongside the letters and personal artefacts on display is an area
dedicated to the process of filmmaking. It illustrates a short sequence
from Anderson’s film O Lucky Man! made in 1973 and starring Malcolm
McDowell. Alongside the short clip from the feature film, the exhibition
details the evolution of the scene from the initial draft script to the
development of the storyboard, production stills and final script,
alongside behind-the-scenes photos of the shoot. These are accompanied by
Anderson’s own diary entries, shedding further insight into life behind the
camera.
After a successful run at Stirling’s Changing Room Gallery last year the
University of Stirling is delighted to bring the exhibition to the
University College for Creative Arts in Farnham.
