SHINE - In memory of alex

12/9/2017

I attended City Lit when studying for my Art Foundation 2013-2014, within our group was an incredibly talented, spirited and beautiful young woman, who went on to study fine art painting at CSM. Tragically Alex ended her life in August 2016. In memory of Alex, some members of her foundation class have got together to raise awareness and funds for a mental health charity. We will be holding an exhibition of our work, and a public Art auction where money raised will be donated to the charity Maytree. Please do come along to the Mental Wealth Festival at City Lit, where the wider programme will have something for everyone.

Two Queens is proud to announce the upcoming offsite members exhibition ‘Happy to be Here’ at Attenborough Arts Centre, Leicester.
Happy To Be Here sees Two Queens invite current members and past exhibiting artists to make work about TwoQueens – it’s building, personality, and their experiences within it.
For the duration of the show, the organisation will operate from within AAC’s gallery spaces as an institution in residence, hosting some of the regular activities that take place within the building as public events.
The project comes as Two Queens looks back on five years of activity and embarks on a major development project, taking the next step in becoming a more sustainable organisation and public art space for Leicester.
The project is kindly supported by funding from Arts Patrons Trust.

Curated by Fausto Sanmartino and Claire Damary

LUBOMIROV / ANGUS-HUGHES is a charitable organisation dedicated to contemporary curation. We see curators as localised experts in a global and increasingly complex contemporary art world. By engaging with all forms and levels of curation, we aim to present to the public a wider picture of art today. We also invite curatorial projects by artists, art critics, collectors, gallerists and other members of the art world, who both wield influence in the shaping of new art and have a uniquely valuable perspective on current and future state.

OFFICE SPACE
Every month the Lubomirov Angus-Hughes gallery office is curated by the team, drawing from their collection of editions and small works by artists who have previously exhibited in the gallery, or will be in our current or future programme. This evolving space engages with the history of the gallery through curation in a more traditional sense, showcasing our growing community of artists.
