SUMMARY:Hampstead in the 1930s – A Walking Tour + Visits
DESCRIPTION:Ernö Goldfinger: 2 Willow Road\, NW3\nMeet: Hampstead Underground Station\nLed by Monica Bohm-Duchen for Martin Randall Travel \n10am-c.5.30pm \n  \nAs the abundance of wall plaques in the area demonstrates\, visual artists have been drawn to the physical and cultural attractions of Hampstead since the late eighteenth century. This London day\, however\, concentrates on artistic life in Hampstead in the 1930s\, the period in which it occupied a unique place in the story of British art and architecture. This was in large measure due to the number of talented émigrés from Nazi-dominated Europe who found refuge here\, and the British individuals who welcomed and worked alongside them. \nAt Burgh House & Hampstead Museum\, a private view of selected items from the era and an introductory lecture set the scene. A walk through Frognal before lunch is testament to the pioneering work of modernist architects such as Maxwell Fry and Ernst Freud. In the afternoon\, we walk via Downshire Hill (home to Fred and Diana Uhlman\, Roland Penrose and Margaret Gardiner)\, to the Isokon Building in Lawn Road\, where by special arrangement we visit the former garage\, now a small gallery devoted to the colourful history of these flats\, whose tenants included Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer as well as Agatha Christie and a significant number of Communist spies. After taking a look at the Mall Studios\, home to what Herbert Read memorably described as a ‘gentle nest of artists’\, among them Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson\, and the building which was briefly home to Piet Mondrian\, the day ends with a visit to the modernist house that Hungarian-born Ernö Goldfinger built for himself nearby 2 Willow Road. \nMid-morning refreshments\, lunch and tea provided. \nBook this tour at Martin Randall Travel \n  \nSee also: Hampstead Walk (May 2019) and George Adams – Bauhausler in Britain

SUMMARY:20:20  Stories of Moving Lineage
DESCRIPTION:Refugee from Ivory Coast © Nina Emet\nLondon College of Communication\, London\n  \n \n20:20 is a multimedia\, touring arts and heritage project that casts a long lens over the personal memories of refugee families who arrived in the UK from 1999 onwards from Kosovo and other major global conflicts. \nSupported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund\, 20:20 is led by Salusbury World Refugee Centre and co-curated by FotoDocument and London College of Communication.

SUMMARY:Outlook: No Return
DESCRIPTION:Chana Kowalska\, The Bridge\, 1937\nPOSK Gallery\, Hammersmith\, London\nDays after the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War that changed the fate of Poland and Europe forever\, the Polish Social and Cultural Association’s Gallery in London (POSK) opens a unique exhibition celebrating the contribution of Polish artists who fled Nazi-dominated Europe to British culture. \nOutlook: No Return features works of 16 Polish artists who reflect the diverse make-up of pre-war Poland’s population\, including Europe’s largest Jewish community. \nThe exhibition – featuring\, among others\, Jankel Adler\, Josef Herman\, Feliks Topolski\, Stanislaw Frenkiel and Raya Herzig – tells their post-war stories and explores their feeling of unbearable and inexplicable loss following the occupation of Poland\, the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe\, and the Holocaust that changed their lives forever. While often naturalised as British citizens and recognised for their extraordinary talent and contribution to British culture\, these refugee artists remained seen as outsiders coming from a ‘far away country of which we know little’. Britain was a country they did not expect to be their new home\, and as they were settling in the new reality\, they were faced with nostalgia and longing for their old\, now-gone existence without any possibility of fulfilment. At the time of Britain’s gravest political crisis and rapidly shifting attitudes towards migration to Britain\, this exhibition is a forceful and compelling defence of openness and tolerance and a testament to the benefits of cultural exchange – even in the darkest of times. \n  \nOpening talk by David Herman: 15 September\, 5pm

SUMMARY:Maurice Blik: Exhibition & Artist's Talk
DESCRIPTION:Maurice Blik\nBowman Sculpture\, London\nAfter decades of making sculpture\, in the last two years\, Maurice Blik has identified a unique and personal way of working to externalise his thoughts and feelings.  Now his sculptures leap\, dance\, stride\, walk\, hurry\, peer\, to express what it feels like to be alive. \nBorn in Amsterdam in 1939 and having survived Bergen-Belsen\, Maurice arrived in the UK aged six. The ability to come to terms with those experiences\, to confront the face of humanity that he had witnessed\, stayed silent in him for some 40 years until it found a voice in the passionate and exquisite sculpture that he began to produce in the 1980s. \n  \nMaurice Blik talk  6.30pm\, Thursday 19 September\, Bowman Sculpture Gallery

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Lecture: Milein Cosman: Capturing Time
DESCRIPTION:Amadeus Quartet (Norbert Brainin; Siegmund Nissel; Peter Schidlof; Martin Lovett) by Milein Cosman\, pen and ink\, 1960s. © Milein Cosman Trust/ National Portrait Gallery\, London\nOndaatje Wing Theatre\, Floor 2\, National Portrait Gallery\nArt historian Ines Schlenker introduces the life and varied oeuvre of Milein Cosman (1921–2017). Best known for her drawings of musicians and dancers\, she excelled at chronicling contemporary life\, developing a unique drawing technique that enabled her to capture the most fleeting of moments. Born into a Jewish family in Germany and educated in Britain during the Second World War\, Cosman’s art is among the finest and most representative of her time\, though still little known to a wider public. Ceaselessly sketching\, she created a pictorial who’s who of the cultural elite from the second half of the twentieth century.

SUMMARY:The Escape Act - A Holocaust Memoir
DESCRIPTION:Jackson’s Lane\, London\nSaved by the circus: the spectacular true story of how a Jewish acrobat escaped the Nazis by running away to join the circus! \nWriter and Performer: Stav Meishar \n\nThe Escape Act – A Holocaust Memoir is a one-woman theatre show incorporating circus and puppetry. It is based on the life of Irene Danner\, a Jewish acrobat who survived the Holocaust hiding from the Nazis at a German circus. The show goes back and forth between past and present\, between character and performer\, and combines the historical events of Irene’s life with the experiences of the performer as a grandchild to Holocaust survivors. \nThe play examines Irene’s life between 1933 and 1945: from a teen witnessing the rise of the Third Reich\, through joining the circus undercover\, to falling in love and starting her own family – all under the protection of the Althoff Circus. As the performer travels through Irene’s life it triggers memories of her own family history\, of struggles\, inherited traumas and their domino effect – and with the past looming closer and closer\, she is forced to invite it in. Both a historical and theatrical project\, it is a culmination of seven years of research into the lives of German-Jewish circus families between 1929-1945. \nRunning time: 75 minutes\nAge Guidance: Suitable for ages 10 and up

SUMMARY:László Moholy-Nagy in Britain: Between the New Vision and the New Bauhaus
DESCRIPTION:First Floor Gallery\, RIBA\, London \nThis display draws on the RIBA’s unique holdings to demonstrate both the range of Moholy-Nagy’s British work and the strong ties that he established with modernist architects in Britain. \n\n\n\n\nLászló Moholy-Nagy was one of the most innovative artists and thinkers of the first half of the twentieth century. In 1937\, following his former Bauhaus colleague Walter Gropius\, he emigrated to Britain\, where he spent two intense years filled with commissions\, collaborations and artistic exchanges\, before finally moving to the United States. \nThis display focuses on a little known period of the artist’s career and includes an extensive selection of his British work\, mostly drawn from the RIBA’s own world famous collections and showcasing rarely seen photographs and examples of his graphic design projects. \nThe content of the display has been curated to complement the RIBA Architecture Gallery exhibition Beyond Bauhaus: Modernism in Britain 1933-1966. \nArchitectural Press Archive / RIBA Collections\n

This included both established artists\, such as Martin Bloch\, Hugo Dachinger and Margaret Marks\, and younger refugees who went on to train and work in Britain\, including Frank Auerbach and Eva Frankfurther\, and Kindertransportees Kathe Strenitz and Harry Weinberger. \nThe third wave reflects contemporary migration\, with artists including painter Tam Joseph\, photographer/performance artist Güler Ates and collagist Hormazd Narielwalla. \nAdmission: Free \nPrivate View: 6.30-8.00pm\, 3 October 2019\nRSVP

SUMMARY:In the Footsteps of Fred Uhlman: Art and Refugees in Hampstead
DESCRIPTION:Hampstead Tube Station\nFred Uhlman was born to a Jewish family in Germany where he practiced as a lawyer. With the rise of the Nazis in 1933\, he moved to France where as he was not allowed to practice law\, he supported himself by privately selling his art work. In 1936\, he met a wealthy English woman\, Diana Croft and later that year moved to England and married her. They settled in Downshire Hill\, Hampstead in 1938. In this walk we discover how together they formed the Artists Refugee Committee to rescue artists trapped in Czechoslovakia\, about how their house became a refuge for artists and about the organisations that they were involved with. We visit sites Uhlman was known to frequent and discuss the role of his artistic friends and neighbours and consider other refugees who settled in Hampstead during this time. \n  \n\n11.00am-1.00pm
