Sharing the Van Dyck Self-Portrait:
Contemporary and Historical Art in Dialogue

 

Free Seminar and Drinks Reception
Friday 10 November 2017
13.00 - 18.30

 

 

 

 

Join us for an afternoon of engaging presentations and critical conversations followed by a networking drinks reception and the opportunity to visit the display Julian Opie After Van Dyck.  

Inspired by the Van Dyck self-portrait acquired by the Gallery for the nation in 2014, the National Portrait Gallery is marking the culmination of an ambitious three-year national programme of learning and participation projects across seven venues with a seminar for sector colleagues.

The afternoon includes presentations by artists, museum & gallery professionals from cultural institutions across the country, and young people. There will be artist reflections, conversations about curatorial approaches to working with historic and contemporary art, examples of approaches to youth participation, digital engagement discussions and perspectives on project legacy. 

Speakers include the artist Marcus Coates; Karen Eslea, Head of Learning & Visitor Experience at Turner Contemporary; Lisa Beauchamp, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at Birmingham Art Gallery; Robin Baillie, Senior Outreach Manager at Scottish National Portrait Gallery; Madeleine Kennedy, Art Exhibitions Officer at the Laing Art Gallery; artist Anthony Luvera and project participants.

Van Dyck's self-portrait was acquired by the National Portrait Gallery following a major public appeal with the Art Fund and thanks to the generous support of the Heritage Lottery Fund and others. The project partners are Turner Contemporary, Margate; Manchester Art Gallery; Dulwich Picture Gallery, London; Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery; Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle, Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh and the National Portrait Gallery, London.
