Fine Art Visiting Speakers Programme:
Fine Art, which is a part of Newcastle University's School of Arts and Cultures, is delighted to present a public weekly programme of research lectures and seminars from some of the most interesting and original artists, critics, curators, historians and art professionals working today. This programme is complimented by school-based research activities such as 'Connecting Principles', the Fine Art Postgraduate Research Student seminars, and the ongoing series of gallery talks and lectures organised by the Hatton Gallery, which is housed in the Fine Art Building.
Speakers are invited whose work relates to topical research and teaching themes being explored by staff, undergraduate students, postgraduate students and researchers in Fine Art, and is a significant element of Fine Art’s unique commitment to research that tests established boundaries and methodologies. The Lecture programme is intended to transcend traditional discussion boundaries.
We have instigated a web-based forum to encourage discussion inspired by the programme. We welcome you to argue and explore the weekly themes here. The external Fine Art Visiting Speakers website provides a detailed overview of the speakers and the programme as well as providing access to the blog.
All presentations take place in the Fine Art Lecture theatre.
The visitors programme is co-ordinated by Nadia Hebson, lecturer in Fine Art. Please feel free to make suggestions for our programme of weekly speakers.
The talks take place at 10am in the Fine Art Lecture Theatre. Click here to visit the external Fine Art Visiting Speakers website.
