Stella Vine: 17 July - 23 September 2007

Modern Art Oxford is presenting the first major UK exhibition of work by artist Stella Vine. The exhibition will feature her most controversial works including the paintings of Princess Diana, 'Hi Paul, can you come over...' and a portrait of heroin victim Rachel Whitear which were bought by Charles Saatchi in 2004, propelling Vine into the media spotlight. However, there is more to Vine than the sensational headlines and through the inclusion of over 100 paintings from the beginning of her career to the present day, a more rounded picture of her work will undoubtedly emerge.

By Georgia Fitch
Bush Theatre

For his final production after a wonderful ten years as artistic director at the Bush, Mike Bradwell has chosen to direct a play by one of his great discoveries, Georgia Fitch.

I WISH I WERE A CAT

Human rights abuses. People detained without being charged. Forced shaving. Terrorist paranoia. Sounds familiar? Don’t worry: this is Argentina in the Seventies during the bloodiest military dictatorship. Any similarities with the present are purely coincidental.

While many exhibitions have explored Surrealism as a movement in literature and the fine arts, Surreal Things will be the first to examine its impact on architecture, design and the decorative arts. It will present a new approach to the subject, focusing on the creation of surrealist objects, whether unique works of art or examples of modern design.

From the sensuality of Dali’s Mae West Lips (no. 2) sofa to Schiaparelli’s disturbing Tear dress (no.1), Surrealism produced some of the most extraordinary objects ever created. This exhibition will bring together many of these rarely seen works for the very first time.

The exhibition will explore how Surrealism evolved from radical avant-garde beginnings to become one of the most influential movements of the century and a common visual language of modernity. It will trace the development of Surrealism from the creation of the first objects in the 1920s to its commercialisation after World War II, as the movement was absorbed into the worlds of fashion, commercial design, graphics and film.
