Artist Mark Leckey piloted a free month-long art course called Music and Video Lab this summer in Redruth, Cornwall, aimed at attracting people aged 18 to 25 who lack access to formal art education. The course, costing £15,000 with support from Arts Council England, was initiated by curator Teresa Gleadowe of CAST and artist Liam Jolly of Auction House, with final works screened at CAST from August 5 through September 3.
Maggi Hambling has unveiled a deeply personal installation titled "Time" at Norfolk's 18th-century Wolterton Hall, as part of the exhibition "Sea State." The installation features a single portrait of her late partner, Tory Lawrence, alongside 40 small paintings called "nightwaves," created in response to Lawrence's death from a brain tumor in autumn 2024. The show also includes new works by Ro Robertson and Hambling's ongoing "Wall of Water" series, marking the first arts and culture program at the historic Palladian house built for Horatio Walpole.
