Join us for a Wednesday Walkthrough – a gallery tour where artists, experts, researchers and academics give short talks in their field of expertise relating to the concepts explored in our exhibitions.In Galleries 3 & 4 we are currently presenting the second-ever institutional exhibition of Algerian- German artist Hamid Zénati (b.1944, Algeria; d.2022, Germany) following his solo debut at Haus der Kunst, Munich. Celebrating Zénati's nearly sixty-year career, this major survey casts him as an inventive, free thinker and artist of his time. Zénati worked compulsively across surfaces and disciplines from textiles, fashion and ceramics to wearable sculpture and photography, using his 'all-over' signature style.
In this walkthrough, Tom Godfrey will introduce aspects of Hamid Zénatis’s solo exhibition in relation to Nottingham and the region’s own fashion history. Tom will explore connections between Zénati’s multi-disciplinary approach and the crossovers that existed between Nottingham’s style, music, visual art and bar/club cultures.
Accompanying the walkthrough will be a small presentation of archive materials that document some of this history, featuring materials related to brands including G Force, Cocky’s Shed, Paul Smith and Alto, as well as present day designers.
