Join us for a guided tour of the outdoor multi-site exhibition, Madge Gill: Nature in Mind. The exhibition explores the work of the late Newham-based artists’ work, celebrating the inspiration she found from natural surroundings. The walk will be followed by an exciting opportunity to view a selection of Gill’s original works first-hand from Newham Council’s archive.
The curator of The Line’s multi-site Madge Gill exhibition, Sophie Dutton, will join Director of The Line Sarah Carrington for this two-part event. Focusing specifically on the history of Madge Gill’s work in relation to East London, they will explore the artworks, take in the heritage and natural environment along the route, and discuss the benefits and challenges of increasing access to art and green spaces in East London.
Expect mostly flat walking with a couple of flights of stairs crossing a bridge, comfortable shoes advised. The walk will proceed at a reasonable pace, with limited places to sit along the route.
This event is part of the Grayson Perry: Delusions of Grandeur exhibition at The Wallace Collection public programme, and takes place during London Sculpture Week and Newham Heritage Month.
The event is ticketed and places are limited. For more information and to book please visit: https://www.wallacecollection.org/whats-on/events/madge-gill-walk-and-archive-visit/
