Enjoy an evening talk given by artists and makers who either live in Mexico, or are inspired by the country. This talk is part of Mexican Week, 21-25 October 2018.
In this illustrated talk Dr. David Stent will present the fascinating story of College founder Edward James' later years of creativity, particularly his time in Mexico. During this period, James oversaw the creation of 'Las Pozas' - a private ranch populated with a series of fantastical cast concrete structures, some up to five storeys high.
This live concert features performances by some of the most imaginative music makers working today - Collectress and Sonic Pleasure.
Artist-in-Residence, Tahmina Negmat, presents an artist's talk on her painting practice and residency project. Using a variety of Surrealist techniques, including cadavre exquis (exquisite corpse) and frottage, Negmat explores notions of identity, culture, and migration.
This illustrated talk explores the significance of a unique discovery in the Edward James Archive at West Dean College of Arts and Conservation - a transcript of the infamous 'diving suit' lecture given by Salvador Dalí at the International Surrealist Exhibition in London in 1936.
