SUMMARY:Otti Berger: Weaving for Modernist Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Otti Berger (1898-1944) was a hugely talented Jewish textile designer\, born in present-day Croatia\, who both studied and taught at the Bauhaus in Dessau\, Germany. She found temporary refuge in the UK in 1937-8 but failed to thrive here\, and ultimately perished in Auschwitz. \nBerger created fabrics that fundamentally changed the understanding of what textiles could be and do. A core member of the experimental approach to textiles at the Bauhaus\, she also was a female entrepreneur in the frenzied time that was the early 1930s in Berlin. Yet to date Berger’s textile work has only been explored in fragments. \nTo mark the publication by Hatje Cantz of a major new book entitled Otti Berger. Weaving for Modernist Architecture\, Berlin-based artist Judith Raum\, the book’s contributing editor\, will talk about this challenging yet rewarding project. The book is the first comprehensive study of the complexity and beauty of Berger’s work and makes her treatise on fabrics and the methodology of textile production accessible in full for the first time. It also highlights the largely unrecognized significance of textiles in the history of architecture and design. Judith will be joined by British design historian Tanya Harrod\, author of the chapter about Berger’s time in England. \n  \nTo book\, click here \nFrom 12 March until 24 August\, the temporary bauhaus-archiv in Berlin will play host to an installation by Judith Raum\, also entitled Otti Berger. Weaving for Modernist Architecture. The exhibition features a new video piece alongside two large scale wall-spanning fabrics.

SUMMARY:Mid-European Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Andrea Lehmann\, senior researcher and associate director of restitution at Christie’s\, Brussels\, will talk about her ongoing researches into the tactfully named Mid-European Art Exhibition held at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery in 1944 – 80 years ago this year. In fact\, this was an extraordinary project with a remarkable history\, an exhibition of world-class avant-garde German art condemned by the Nazis as ‘degenerate’ held in a provincial gallery in wartime Britain and organised largely by the Free German League of Culture\, set up by refugees from Nazi persecution.\nAs the impassioned Foreword to the modest catalogue put it: “The instability of the period is reflected in the paintings… The rise of Hitlerism destroyed the schools and the spirit\, exiled and oppressed the men and their works. Modern art was persecuted. Here we can only show and judge what was attempted before this catastrophe overtook the creative spirit of a continent… We wish to thank all those who have loaned their pictures… and rescued them from certain destruction.” \nAndrea will explain how she set about reconstructing this remarkable and still too little-known exhibition\, and will be joined by Simon Lake\, former Curator of Fine Art at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery\, who will set the exhibition in its local context\, focussing on the links between the German-Jewish Hess family and Leicester\, and the role of British curator Trevor Thomas. \n  \nTo book\, click here

SUMMARY:Memorials\, Past and Present: Caren Garfen in conversation with Monica Bohm-Duchen
DESCRIPTION:London-based Caren Garfen is an award-winning artist specialising in textiles and meticulous hand stitching underpinned by extensive research. When these facets are combined\, the artworks transcend their materiality\, transforming them into powerful dialogues that explore and reflect upon the pressing issues that resonate within our society. Since 2019\, Caren has been delving into themes concerning the Holocaust and examining the troubling resurgence of global antisemitism in the 21st century. Her recent works have been exhibited in Australia\, Bulgaria\, Canada\, Germany\, Latvia and the UK. \nIn conversation with Insiders/Outsiders founding director\, art historian Monica Bohm-Duchen\, Caren will explore artworks crafted over the past five years\, motivated by her urgent mission to memorialise those murdered during the Holocaust and beyond. One of these\, the 2021 project Fragments – which examines the fashion and textile industry in Berlin in the 1930s\, and the impact of Nazi policies of that period on Jewish clothing manufacturers\, designers\, design houses and fashion stores – acts as a dark backdrop to the theme of Fashion City: How Jewish Londoners shaped global style\, the exhibition currently showing at the Museum of London Docklands until 14 April. \nPrompted by the devastating events of the 7 October 2023 massacre of Israelis\, and the disturbing surge in antisemitism\, Caren has recognised the necessity of continuously updating and stitching many of her pieces in real time and will delve into the significance of documenting our recent history through a closer examination of selected works. \nImage: Fragments (detail)\, 2021 \n  \nBooking link here

SUMMARY:Esther Simpson: The True Story of her Mission to Save Scholars from Hitler's Persecution
DESCRIPTION:  \nBorn in Leeds in 1903 to Russian-Jewish emigrants\, as a young woman Esther Sinovitch (Simpson from 1933) stood out academically and musically. With a first-class degree from Leeds University\, she initially worked as a secretary in Paris\, Vienna and Geneva. But when Hitler assumed power in 1933\, she took a job in London at the Academic Assistance Council\, newly set up to rescue displaced German scholars. Over more than five decades\, her work for the Academic Assistance Council and its successor\, the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning\, ensured refuge for thousands of displaced academics worldwide and had a profound impact on twentieth-century science\, philosophy\, philology\, architecture and art history. By the end of her life\, Esther could count among her ‘children’\, as she called them\, sixteen Nobel Prize winners\, eighteen Knights\, seventy-four fellows of the Royal Society and thirty-four fellows of the British Academy. Her ‘children’ also made a major contribution to Allied victory in World War Two. \nSurprisingly\, she has remained a largely unknown historical figure. John Eidinow’s book is a study of Esther Simpson: who she was and how she lived\, what moved her to take up and never to relinquish her calling\, her impact on the world\, and the historical context that helped shape her achievements. \nJohn Eidinow has published three books with his co-author David Edmonds: Wittgenstein’s Poker\, Bobby Fischer Goes to War and Rousseau’s Dog and a novel\, Innocence to Die For. He was a presenter/interviewer for BBC Radio 4 and World Service radio\, working in news and current affairs and making documentaries on historical and contemporary issues. \nThe session will be chaired by writer David Herman. \n  \nImage: book cover \n  \nBooking link here

SUMMARY:Peter László Péri (1889-1967) - Péri's People
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “Peter László Péri – Péri’s People” at the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus in Bremen (which runs from 10 March to 2 June 2024\, and is organized in cooperation with Kunsthaus Dahlem in Berlin)\, draws attention to a fascinating sculptor who contradicts the common narrative of modern art in the 20th century. He began as a constructivist and ended as a figurative artist. Yet he was not a traditional academic sculptor but combined the achievements of the avant-garde with a socialist-influenced idea of realism. \nPéri was born Ladislas Weisz in Budapest in 1889. Peri became the Hungarianized family name in 1918. In 1919 he participated in the Hungarian soviet republic\, and in 1920 settled in Berlin. At the beginning of 1933\, as a Jew and Communist\, he had to leave Germany and moved to London with his second\, English\, wife. These brief facts reveal a biography typical of all too many Jewish artists in early 20th century Europe\, and they also explain why so many of these artists remain overlooked. Despite all the methodological innovations of the discipline\, art history is still written primarily according to national patterns. And artists who were forced to move through Europe fall through the cracks. Hungarian and German art history is mostly interested in Péri before 1933\, while English art history focuses on the artist after 1933. This lecture by Arie Hartog will present the results of recent research on Péri and represents a more holistic approach. \n  \nDr. Arie Hartog has been the director of the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus in Bremen since 2009\, having previously worked there as a curator. Since 2013 he has been the chair of the AG Bildhauermuseen and Skulpturensammlungen\, the German working group for sculptor museums and sculpture collections. His research focus is the history of sculpture in the 20th century and the posthumous afterlife of modernist sculpture. \nImage: Peter László Péri\, Reflections\, mid-1960s (detail) © The Estate of Peter László Péri \n  \nBooking link here

SUMMARY:The Lives of Edith Hoffmann\, Art Historian
DESCRIPTION:Edith Hoffmann\, who lived for 108 ½ years\, 1907-2016\, was brought up in Germany and reached London in 1934. After four years of volunteering in various jobs\, her involvement in the exhibition “20th-Century German Art” led to her twelve-year employment at the Burlington Magazine\, to which she continued to contribute while accompanying her Israeli diplomat husband to various countries. She has been termed “the first woman editor of the Burlington”. She wrote the first book in English about Oskar Kokoschka. \nYonna Yapou-Kromholz\, daughter of Edith Hoffmann(-Yapou)\, is an art historian\, as was her mother.  After studying at the Courtauld Institute\, and a 15-year stint as curator at the Israel Museum\, Jerusalem\, she contributed exhibition reviews to Apollo Magazine from the United States. She is now living in Jerusalem. \n  \nImage: Edith Hoffmann\, 1950 \n  \nBooking link here

SUMMARY:From Berlin to London: The Industrial Photography of Walter & Rita Nurnberg
DESCRIPTION:Nick Warr and Simon Dell – the curators of a fascinating exhibition Norwich Works: The Industrial Photography of Walter and Rita Nurnberg currently on at Norwich Castle Museum until 14 April – will talk about the too little known German-born émigré photographers Walter and Rita Nurnberg.Walter (1907-1991) and Rita (1914-2001) Nurnberg established a commercial photographic studio in London in 1934 after relocating from Germany. Walter\, a former pupil and tutor at the prestigious Reimann School of Art and Design in Berlin\, made a name for himself in product photography. After the Second World War\, the Nurnbergs concentrated their collective skills in documenting and celebrating the workers of Britain. \nOver the subsequent decade\, the Nurnbergs made photographs for many of the nation’s most significant companies and their distinctive style of black and white images transformed the image of post-war British industry. While the work they produced for three Norwich manufacturing institutions – Boulton and Paul\, Mackintosh-Caley and Edwards and Holmes – form the centrepiece of the current exhibition\, the speakers will set this work in the broader context of Walter and Rita Nurnberg’s lives and careers. \nDr.Nick Warr is Lecturer in Art History and Curation in the School of Art\, Media and American Studies at the University of East Anglia\, Norwich. He is also Curator of Photographic Collections\, Course Director of Art History and World Art Studies\, and Academic Director of the East Anglian Fim Archive. \nDr.Simon Dell is an art historian who taught at the University of East Anglia for over twenty years. His key research interests include photography\, with special reference to France\, Germany\, the Soviet Union and the United States\, and the relationship of the visual and the political in interwar Europe. \nImage: Walter and Rita Nurnberg\, Delivery of Soles\, 1948 \n  \nBooking link here

SUMMARY:Lubetkin and Goldfinger: Misunderstood Visionaries?
DESCRIPTION:Russian-born Berthold Lubetkin (1901-1990) and Hungarian-born Ernö Goldfinger (1902-1987) established themselves as two leading British architects who designed high-rise council housing after the Second World War; a type of building that now holds a poor reputation. \nLubetkin built one of the earliest post-war estates in London\, Spa Green in Finsbury\, while Goldfinger designed the last and most notorious council block in the city\, Trellick Tower in North Kensington. Although both architects were communist Jewish migrants from central Europe who shared much in common\, they were rivals who disliked each other. Their reputations suffered with the physical decline of their buildings and from their sometimes less than pleasant personalities. \nYet they were both idealists\, dedicated to building the best possible homes for ordinary people. Lubetkin and Goldfinger: The Rise and Fall of British High-Rise Council Housing by Nicholas Russell\, recently published by Book Guild Publishing Ltd\, aims to shine a light on the overlooked work of these two visionary architects and give them the credit they undoubtedly deserve. \nIn this session\, which will be chaired by Dr.Anna Nyburg\, Nicholas Russell will set this aspect of the two men’s work in a wider context\, both of their own colourful lives and careers and of the history of 20th century British architecture. \nNicholas Russell was a university reader in Science Communication and a college lecturer in Biology and History of Technology. Having had a lifelong interest in art and design\, he now works as a heritage volunteer and spent several seasons as a National Trust guide at Erno Goldfinger’s house in Hampstead. His book on industrial invention and design through a history of the manufacturing firm Russell Hobbs\, Household Names\, was published in 2021. Nicholas lives in Bath \n  \nBooking link here\nImage: book cover

SUMMARY:Virtual Tour - Modernist Hampstead
DESCRIPTION:Online Tour\n\n\nIn this virtual tour discover the revolutionary Modernist homes and idealistic architecture built in Hampstead in the 1930s such as The Sun House by Maxwell Fry\, and 66 Frognal by Connell Ward and Lucas.

Elements of eighteenth-century architectural design were also an influence for some architects. \nPassing some more recent examples and of course striking non modernist Hampstead buildings\, this walk will finish at the iconic and idealistic Isokon flats in Belsize Park. \nTo book\, click here. \n“Very interesting and well delivered virtual tour of Modernist architecture in Hampstead\, drawing on influences of designs from bygone eras. Advantage of virtual tour can cover large area in shorter time than actually walking and can zig zig!! \nGreat photos and expert knowledge of speaker.” \nTrip Advisor July 2020 \n  \nThis is a live virtual tour hosted via Zoom video conferencing where your guide will give an illustrated presentation of the tour route with an accompanying talk. There will be opportunities for questions and interaction both during and after the virtual tour. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Tribute to Mira Hamermesh
DESCRIPTION:In the centenary year of her birth\, Jeremy Coopman will pay tribute to his mother\, the remarkable Polish-born film maker and artist Mira Hamermesh\, who spent most of her working life in England. The event will be chaired by David Herman. \nMira Hamermesh was born in July 1923 in Lodz\, Poland into a comfortable middle-class Jewish family\, the youngest of three children. Mira was 16 when the German invaded Poland in September 1939. She and her brother Mietek decided to go to Palestine to join their sister. Her parents stayed in Lodz: her mother died of starvation in the Lodz ghetto in 1942; her father perished in Auschwitz in 1944. \nMira and her brother escaped to Lvov in Soviet-occupied Poland where they were separated. Mira reached Vilnius in Lithuania in 1940. Her sister Genia\, who had emigrated in 1938\, procured her an entry visa to Palestine and she finally reached Palestine in 1941 where she was reunited with her sister. Her brother reached Palestine in 1943. Mira won a British Council scholarship to study at the Slade School of Fine Art and moved to London in 1946. \nIn 1961\, Mira was accepted into the Polish National Film School in Lodz. In 1968 she was invited to help set up Israel Television and produced several documentaries for the fledgling broadcaster\, including the much praised ‘The Fighters of the Ghetto’ about a kibbutz set up by Holocaust survivors in northern Israel. \nThe mid-80s to the early 90s saw Hamermesh’s most creative period\, including several acclaimed documentaries for Channel 4. Her final film\, ‘Loving the Dead’ (BBC TV\, 1991)\, was a deeply moving exploration of how present-day Poles live with the ghosts of their missing Jewish neighbours. \nMira Hamermesh died in 2012. In 2014 the BFI celebrated her life and works with a short retrospective introduced by Jeremy Isaacs\, founding father of Channel 4 and one of her greatest advocates. \n  \nBooking link here\nImage: Josef Herman: Portrait of Mira Hamermesh

SUMMARY:Taking Sides: Bobby Carter\, Godfrey Samuel and the Refugee Architects
DESCRIPTION:Valeria Carullo\, Curator\, The Robert Elwall Photographs Collection at RIBA British Architectural Library\, will talk about her ongoing researches into the important role played by Bobby Carter and Godfrey Samuel of the RIBA Refugee Committee in rescuing their fellow architects from the clutches of the Nazi regime during the late 1930s. \nFollowing the rise of Nazi Germany and the related tumultuous political events of the 1930s\, the number of requests for admission to Britain from architects based in Central Europe rose sharply at the end of the decade. The conditions required to be considered for residence and job permits did not make their task easy: the country’s immigration laws at the time did not make any distinction based on the circumstances of emigration. Additionally\, would-be émigrés needed either a Guarantor or proof to be self-supporting. The general feeling towards refugees was also influenced by a certain degree of antisemitism\, and the fear that foreigners would compete for the same jobs in a period of economic depression. \nIn this difficult climate a number of figures in the British architectural establishment became points of reference for architects who were trying to leave their countries of origin: arguably more than anyone else\, Edward ‘Bobby’ Carter\, RIBA Librarian\, and architect Godfrey Samuel tirelessly devoted time and effort to assist their Central European colleagues and help them find a future devoid of oppression and discrimination. \nTo book\, click here or scan the QR code \n \n  \nImage: Left to right: Serge Chermayeff\, Godfrey Samuel and Bobby Carter © RIBA Collections \n  \n\nInsiders/Outsiders was a year-long nationwide arts festival celebrating the indelible contribution of refugees from Nazi-dominated Europe to British culture. Coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of World War Two\, the festival included exhibitions\, concerts\, dance and theatre performances\, film screenings\, walks\, lectures and literary events.\nA substantial companion volume to the festival is published by Lund Humphries.

SUMMARY:Creative Sanctuary: Refugees at Dartington in the 1930s and Beyond (Day Two)
DESCRIPTION:An online symposium on 20-21 October exploring the little-known fact that Dartington Hall in Devon was an important place of sanctuary for refugees from Fascist Europe.  \nDartington Hall\, established by Leonard and Dorothy Elmhirst in the late 1920s as a utopian agricultural and educational experiment\, became a much-needed place of refuge for a significant number of eminent creative individuals\, who because of their Jewish background and/or anti-fascist stance\, were forced to leave Germany (and later\, Austria) after 1933. Spanish Republicans fleeing the Spanish Civil War were also welcomed. \nComprising a lively mixture of illustrated talks straddling multiple art forms (fine and applied arts\, architecture\, dance and music)\, discussions\, Q&A sessions and film screenings\, the programme will be aimed at both a general and a specialist audience\, local\, national and international. \nThe symposium\, which draws on the very latest archival researches by established and early career scholars alike\, will fill a significant gap in twentieth century British cultural and social history. \nTo view the full programme and to book tickets\, click here\n*NB Free access to the symposium will be granted to all those living in the TQ postcodes \nThe symposium is kindly supported by the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art\, Shoresh Charitable Trust\, the Elmgrant Trust and Counterpoints Arts. \nImage: Hans Keller teaching at Summer School of Music\, Dartington Hall

SUMMARY:The Photographs of Zygmunt Bauman
DESCRIPTION:Cultural historian Janet Wolff will introduce a less well-known aspect of the career of eminent sociologist Zygmunt Bauman. \nPolish-born Zygmunt Bauman\, who settled in the UK in 1971\, is known internationally as the sociologist of postmodernity and ‘liquid’ society.

SUMMARY:The Maverick: George Weidenfeld and the Golden Age of Publishing
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Harding in conversation with David Herman about The Maverick\, his new biography of iconic and sometimes controversial Austrian-born publisher George Weidenfeld. \nAfter arriving in London just before the Second World War as a penniless and friendless Austrian-Jewish refugee\, George Weidenfeld went on to transform not only the world of publishing but the culture of ideas. The books that he published include momentous titles such as Lolita\, Double Helix\, The Group and The Hedgehog and the Fox\, with authors he championed ranging from Joan Didion\, Mary McCarthy\, Golda Meir and Edna O’Brien to Henry Miller\, Harold Wilson\, Saul Bellow and Henry Kissinger. \nIn this first\, newly-published biography\, acclaimed author Thomas Harding provides a full\, unvarnished and at times difficult history of this complex and fascinating character. Drawing on author correspondence\, internal memos\, and other documents buried deep in the secret publishing files of Weidenfeld & Nicolson\, Harding crafts a portrait of the publisher’s life that is inextricable from the efforts and intricacies of putting a book into the world.  \nTo book\, click here\nThose who sign up to attend this online event will be eligible for a discount of £5 off the RRP of the book.
