EVE: International Women's Eve & Girlband (NTU)

EVE

On the eve of International Women's Day, Nottingham Trent students are invited to explore Nottingham Contemporary after hours. Join us to celebrate Nottingham Contemporary’s new exhibitions from Charlotte Johannesson, Carolyn Lazard: Long Take and Rosalind Nashashibi: Hooks with a twist. Held in the gallery spaces, experience short talks from our finest academics responding to the themes of the female-led exhibition.

The Exhibition

The work of textile artist and early computer art pioneer Charlotte Johannesson represents a synthesis between the artisanal and the digital. Working across disciplines and mediums, Carolyn Lazard explores the social and political dimensions of care. By turns lush, fractured and dream-like, Rosalind Nashashibi's new paintings are concerned with mirroring, monograms and the question of a “signature” style, by way of curtains and split surfaces.
