Pallant House Gallery presents David Dawson: Working with Lucian Freud

28 January – 20 May 2012 
A new exhibition  which offers an extraordinary insight into the notoriously private world of the late great painter Lucian  Freud (1922-2011) through the eyes of his model and studio assistant David Dawson (b.1960).

The exhibition will feature key paintings by Lucian Freud, placing them alongside Dawson’s remarkably intimate photographs of the artist at work as well as his own rarely-seen paintings of street scenes and cityscapes.

The exhibition coincides with ‘Lucian Freud Portraits’ at the National Portrait Gallery, London, from 9 February to 27 May 2012 www.npg.org.uk

100m: Creative Campus Initiative exhibition

A Joint Universities Touring Exhibition responding to the Cultural Olympiad
9 February – 17 March 2012
Solent Showcase, Southampton Solent University, Sir James Matthews Building, 157-187 Above Bar Street, Southampton
OPENING HOURS. Monday – Saturday 11–6pm

100m is a curated showcase of the best of the Creative Campus Initiative projects responding to historical, cultural and socio-political issues raised by the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The selected work displays the high quality of practice-led research and the distinctive strength of the arts and creative practice in South East higher education.

100m represents a series of individual and collaborative responses to the subject matter, but is also a reflection of the Creative Campus Initiative's framework – a pioneering attempt to link creative practices across discipline, media, geography and experience through a shared subject matter.

The theme of the Olympic Games, and with it the broad category of "Art and Sport", offered themselves up as rich inspiration, acting as points of departure for making work and also meeting points for collaboration – common markers that simultaneously connect through shared ideas and galvanise debate.

Exhibiting artists are Juan delGado, Ben Golding, Phil Hawks, Ian Kirkpatrick, Liquid Athletes : Ryan Best, Immo Blaese, Sally Butterfield, Panos Diamondis, Nimra Javaid and Marcin Wysocki, Andrew Kotting and Iain Sinclair with Rob Bernard and Anonymous Bosch, Laurence Llewellyn and Elle Sillanpaa, Carol MacGillivray, Zadoc Nava, Chris Yates

Pallant House Gallery presents Edward Burra

Until 19 February 2012, Pallant House Gallery, 9 North Pallant, Chichester, West Sussex PO19 1TJ
Edward Burra, it is fair to say, is having a bit of a moment: 'Zoot Suits' - his rigorously urban image of life on the London streets - just set an auction record at Sotheby's, selling for just over £2m, many multiples of its pre-sale estimates; his landscapes were the toast of the recent

Watercolour exhibition at Tate Britain; and critic Andrew Graham Dixon has just recorded a full-length documentary about him.
Pallant House Gallery's new exhibition is the first major showing of his work for 25 years.

Displayed over six rooms, the show features Burra’s iconic images of everyday people at leisure in bars and clubs, the black culture of 1930's Harlem, the sub-culture of harbours and ports, his macabre dancing skeletons and stunning late landscapes. The exhibition will also explore the influence of jazz music and cinema, and his forays into the darker sides of humanity.

Abnormal: Towards a Scientific Model of Disability by Ju Gosling aka ju90

Qvist Gallery, Hunterian Museum, Royal College of Surgeons, 35-43 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London
Until 14 January 2012 Tuesday-Saturday 10am-5pm
Free entry

This colourful and often playful national touring exhibition results from an artist’s residency at the National Institute of Medical Research. Using digital imagery and installation, the artist Ju Gosling explores the cultural construction of disability via society’s (mis)interpretation of science and medicine.

The tour climaxes at the Hunterian, and includes an installation made especially for the museum. In the Memory Jar Collection, Ju responds to John Hunter’s collection of human and animal body parts, together with the use of photography within the study of anatomy.

The exhibition will be accompanied by two associated events: an 'in conversation' event between Ju and director Sam Alberti; and a panel discussion evening on 'disability, medicine and museums'.
