SUMMARY:Charlotte Mayer (1929-2022) - The Spiral of Life
DESCRIPTION:This talk\, given by the sculptor’s daughter\, Antonia Salmon who is also an artist\, will explore Charlotte Mayer’s early years growing up in Prague and the impact on her life of her experience of being a child refugee when she came to the UK in 1939 at the age of ten. Antonia will also discuss the influence on her mother’s approach to life of her creative and dynamic grandmother. Charlotte’s deep interest in and practice of meditation\, combined with her studies of nature\, led her to produce abstract forms that have dynamism and stillness in their apparent simplicity. Many of her sculptures were a healing response to life challenges. She will explore Charlotte’s working methods and materials and how these translated into the production of bronze and stainless works for private and public commissions. \nAntonia Salmon is an internationally renowned ceramic artist. Brought up in a household dedicated to modern sculpture and architecture\, her childhood was infused with an awareness of form and space. She studied Geography and Geology at Sheffield University\, and later attended Harrow School of Art as a studio potter. A year spent studying in the Middle East and India made a deep impression and after returning to England in 1985 she established her first workshop in London. In the late 1980s\, she returned to Sheffield where she still lives and works.\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. \nTo book\, click here \nImage: Charlotte Mayer with two of her sculptures\, c.1990 © Steve Russell

SUMMARY:I Had to Be Present: Oto Bihalji-Merin\, art historian\, editor\, publisher\, art critic and activist
DESCRIPTION:Oto Bihalji-Merin (1904-1993) was a Yugoslav-Jewish art historian\, editor\, publisher\, art critic and activist whose creative life fused multiple languages\, identities and cultures in response to the historical and political contexts of the 20th century and whose legacy lies in his advocacy for art that transcends formal training\, emphasizing human creativity and imagination. \nOto’s youth in Zemun and Berlin deeply shaped his leftist and anti-fascist ideas\, exposing him to avant-garde artistic movements such as Expressionism\, Dada and New Objectivity. In 1928\, with his brother Pavle Bihali\, he co-founded the left-wing publishing house Nolit and the magazine Nova Literatura (New Literature). After spending time in Spain and Paris\, Oto settled in Zürich in 1934\, where he wrote for Die Neue Weltbühne\, Die Deutsche Blätter\, and Savremeni Pogledi\, and associated with artists and writers such as Max Beckmann\, Max Bill\, Wolfgang Langhoff\, Stefan Zweig and Albert Einstein. In the late 1930s he was closely involved with the landmark exhibition Twentieth Century German Art\, shown in London in 1938\, and (under the pseudonym Peter Thoene) wrote the companion volume\, Modern German Art\, the first publication on this subject in English. \nAfter WW2\, Oto Bihalji-Merin wrote extensively about the works of naïve artists. His most famous book\, The World of Naïve Artists (1959)\, is considered to be a foundational text on the subject. He was involved in publishing and editing cultural magazines and books which played a crucial role in shaping the intellectual landscape of Yugoslavia in the mid 20th century. \nThis talk by its curators Senka Latinovic and Miroslav Karic\, introduced by London-based art historian Alexandra Lazar\, coincides with a major exhibition entitled Oto Bihalji-Merin: I Had to Be Present at the Museum of Naive and Marginal Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade. The exhibition celebrates the 120th anniversary of Bihalji-Merin’s birth and runs until 17 February. \nTo book\, click here \nImage: Portrait of Oto Bihalji-Merin\, Photo: Tošo Dabac\, Archive of the Salon Oto Bihalji-Merin

SUMMARY:In the Future of Yesterday: A Life of Stefan Zweig
DESCRIPTION:Rüdiger Görner\, Professor Emeritus of German with Comparative Literature at Queen Mary University of London\, will be in conversation with writer and critic David Herman about his latest book\, In the Future of Yesterday: A Life of Stefan Zweig. \nIn the Future of Yesterday offers a refreshing approach to the life and work of Austrian-born writer Stefan Zweig\, delving into his considerable contribution to world literature\, rooted in the Austro-Jewish tradition. A world traveller from the outset\, Zweig liked to uproot himself – but whether he stayed in London\, New York\, or eventually Brazil\, his literary baggage continued to contain the flavour and flair of fin de siècle Vienna. \nLooking anew at Zweig’s influential time in England and offering fresh insights into his final years in the United States and Brazil\, Görner discusses Zweig’s prolific literary output in relation to his life and subjects his political views on Europe\, Zionism\, and the world order to deep scrutiny. \nAs one reviewer has put it\, ‘Görner’s meticulous analysis of Zweig’s letters\, his diaries\, and some of his characteristic works greatly enriches the critical debate about the latter’s world-wide legacy. Full of interesting details on Zweig’s quest for freedom\, this is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and work of Europe’s most translated writer of the interwar period.’ \nTo book\, click here \nA discount code for 25% off In the Future of Yesterday: A Life of Stefan Zweig is available to those who which to purchase the book.
