SUMMARY:Hybrid Exhibition Talk – Dedication in Sculpture: The Story of Naomi Blake FRSS
DESCRIPTION:This event is organised as part of the Fred Kormis: Sculpting the Twentieth Century event series at The Wiener Holocaust Library\n \nIn partnership with Insiders/Outsiders. \nNaomi Blake (nee Zisi Dum) was born in 1924 in Mukacevo\, Czechoslovakia to a large Jewish family within a thriving Jewish population. After enduring Auschwitz and the loss of many family members\, sculpture became a positive means of expression. She studied art at the Hornsey School of Art and became a Fellow of the Royal Society of British Sculptors. \nAs her work developed into abstract and semi-figurative pieces\, she sought to promote understanding between faiths. To date more than 50 works stand in many places of worship and public spaces such as around the UK and overseas\, such as\, Bristol Cathedral\, Norwich Cathedral\, St. Botolph’s Church\, Leeds Synagogue\, Great Ormond St. Hospital\, Fitzroy Square and Tel Aviv University. \nNaomi’s daughter\, Anita will introduce you to Naomi’s sculpture\, which stands determinedly to help keep alive the legacy of the six million slaughtered Jews\, as well as promoting Naomi’s vision for a more tolerant society and her hopes for the future. \nAnita will be speaking on behalf of Generation 2 Generation\, a charity that enables descendants of Holocaust survivors to tell their family stories. \nAbout the Speaker: \nAnita Peleg is a University Lecturer and National Teaching Fellow with a doctorate specialising in Business Ethics. She has also carried out significant research into the Holocaust and published two books about her mother\, Naomi Blake\, a sculptor and survivor of Auschwitz.  She is Chair of Trustees and a speaker for Generation 2 Generation\, a charity that enables descendants of Holocaust survivors tell their family stories to a range of audiences.  In these roles she is able to apply her 20 years of teaching experience to educate about the Holocaust\, speaking at universities\, schools\, civic and religious institutions. \nVirtual Event guidelines: \n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event. Please check your junk email folders.\nPlease try and join 5 minutes before the event start time and we will let you into the room (do try and bear with us if this takes a few minutes).\nIf you would like to ask a question during the event\, please type your question into the chat function\, and we will endeavour to answer as many questions as possible during the Q&A.

SUMMARY:Arthur Fleischmann (1896-1990): A New Life in the UK
DESCRIPTION:The sculptor Arthur Fleischmann was born into a Jewish family in Bratislava. He studied medicine in Budapest and Prague and qualified as a medical doctor – where in parallel he started his sculpture studies under Professor Jan Štursa. Immediately after qualifying as a doctor\, he turned his attention and energy fully to sculpture. He left Europe in the mid-1930s and\, following periods living and working in Bali and Australia\, returned to Europe in 1948\, where he settled in London and began to establish himself. His work was championed by Sir Charles Wheeler\, and despite cultural prejudices\, he was elected a Fellow of the Society of British Sculptors. \nIn this talk Dominique Fleischmann will give an overview of his father’s career in London\, his use of Perspex as a sculptural medium\, and focus on public commissions for World Expos and the Festival of Britain. Among the latter were commissions for four sculptures at the Brussels World Exhibition in 1958 – two for the British Pavilion and two for the Vatican Pavilion. He and his young wife Joy spent a year on site in Brussels working to install the sculptures. The majority of his efforts were spent erecting the 40 foot high aluminium Resurrection. \nDominique Fleischmann\, son of the sculptor\, is a trustee of the Arthur Fleischmann Foundation and was instrumental both in setting up the Arthur Fleischmann Museum in Bratislava in 2002 and in publishing the book Bali in the 1930s: Photographs and Sculptures by Arthur Fleischmann in 2007. He has supported his mother Joy in the staging of numerous exhibitions and events since the death of Arthur Fleischmann in 1990. He has developed the Arthur Fleischmann Digital Archive that aims to provide a definitive catalogue of all Arthur Fleischmann sculptures\, drawings\, paintings and photographs around the world. In the last four years\, he has digitized the thousands of letters and photographs in his father’s archive that were recently acquired by Tate. \nDominique will be joined by sculpture expert Joanna Barnes\, who curated the exhibition ‘Arthur Fleischmann: a centennial celebration’ at the Mestke Múzeum in Bratislava in 1996 and helped establish the Arthur Fleischmann Museum there in 2002. A former trustee of the Public Monuments and Sculpture Association\, Joanna was editor of its online magazine\, 3rd Dimension and co-founder of the Sculpture Journal. Co-founder of The Public Statues and Sculpture Association (PSSA)\, she is currently its co-chair. \nThis talk forms part of the events programme – organised in partnership with Insiders/Outsiders – accompanying the Fred Kormis exhibition at the Wiener Holocaust Library\, which runs until 6 February 2025. \n  \nTo book\, click here \n  \nImage: Arthur Fleischmann\, 1972.
