What are we planning for October at the Telegraph Gallery?
If you visit the Telegraph Gallery regularly, you will know that our programme goes beyond the gallery space. In addition to long-term exhibitions, you can look forward to pop-up exhibitions in the cinema and loft throughout the year, as well as residencies by Czech and international artists, always ending with an Open Studio in their studio. You can also look forward to lecture series focusing on the work of contemporary artists, the work of curators, and on collecting contemporary art with collectors, gallerists and curators.
Jake Chapman's FLOTSAM & JETSAM exhibition will cut through October, and there will also be a four-day film frenzy, aka Telegraph Film Festival 2024.
5 9 - 21 11 2024 Jake Chapman FLOTSAM & JETSAM
As mentioned above, the FLOTSAM & JETSAM exhibition by the UK's leading art world figure, Jake Chapman, will stick with us until November. The works uncompromisingly analyse today's society and all its flaws, while offering a way out of these problems. And believe us, this journey will not be painless, as the philosophy of accelerationism is closely linked to the exhibition. This argues that through the anxious atmosphere of today, full of race and comparison, there is only one way out, and that is acceleration - the hastening of progress so that a new social order can emerge.
9 Oct 2024 / 18:00 TEFF24: Olivier de Sagazan: TRANSFIGURATION
We may be overstepping the gallery space here, but the journey beyond is more than close to this event. The Telegraph Film Festival will feature French artist Olivier de Sagazan, best known for his debut performance - Transfiguration. The painter, sculptor, actor and dancer, formerly known mainly for the online recording of that performance, is now famous worldwide for adding other people and messages to his choreographies.
11 Oct 2024 TEFF24 Guided tour of the exhibition Jake Chapman with Dante Daniel Hartl
On October 11, we will be guided through the exhibition FLOTSAM & JETSAM by the artist Dante Daniel Hartl, who, although he studied at UMPRUM in the Painting Studio, creates rather experimental spatial objects. He uses atypical materials and approaches Chapman with both decadent themes and black humour. You can enjoy not only a guided tour, but also a workshop on the borderline of happening.
12 Oct 2024 / 15:00 TEFF24 Workshops for Kids and Adults: The City of the Future
We're not forgetting the little ones at the Telegraph. Workshops are a regular feature as we try to bring the arts to younger generations. This time the workshop will be about applied art - architecture. The basic idea is to teach children a fluid and ever-changing perspective. We want them to know that nothing is permanent and, what is more, that they can participate in changing the environment around us.
The children will learn about the transformation of cities and buildings through the creation of collages where they will try their hand at working with cut-outs, glue, scissors and other elements. They can, of course, take home an original work of art.
30 Oct 2024 / 6:00pm Open Studio: Belén Uriel
Late October you can look forward to the Open Studio of Spanish artist Belén Uriel, who mainly focuses on utilitarian interior objects. Or... are they utilitarian at all? What good is a helmet made of glass, a transparent screen, or a book stand with one leg? Belén Uriel asks us a question about aesthetics and perhaps even a kind of excessive accumulation of things.
Belén Uriel (*1974) is originally from Madrid and currently works and lives in Lisbon, Portugal. In 2015, she received an art grant from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon and in 2018 she was awarded the prestigious 6th Audemars Piguet Prize at ARCO Madrid. Let's see what kind of reflection of man towards the environment she will offer us as viewers.
We look forward to seeing you there!
