SUMMARY:Becoming Gustav Metzger\, Uncovering the Early Years 1945-59
DESCRIPTION:Gustav Metzger\, Head of E. Royalton-Kisch\, 1950 Courtesy of The Gustav Metzger Foundation\n108A Boundary Rd\, Camden\, London NW8 0RH\nThe Ben Uri Research Unit (BURU)\, in partnership with The Gustav Metzger Foundation\, is delighted to announce Becoming Gustav Metzger: Uncovering the Early Years (1945-59). This is the first museum exhibition to examine the little-known formative years of refugee artist and activist Gustav Metzger (Nuremberg\, Germany 1926 – London\, England 2017). The sixth in BURU’s survey exhibitions highlighting the important contribution of Jewish and immigrant artists to British visual culture since 1900\, the exhibition showcases some 40 rarely seen drawings and paintings from this crucial early period – the majority never previously exhibited – together with related archival material. Highlights include Metzger’s Portrait of Frank Auerbach (c.1952) and the large expressionist oils The Dissolution of the City (1946) and Eroica\, Funeral March (1946)\, as well as early abstract works on board and cardboard\, and a Kodak box. Together they chart Metzger’s artistic journey from figuration to abstraction prior to the development of his later radical auto-destructive practice. \nBen Uri. Monday-Friday 10am-5pm (Thursdays late\, till 8pm)  \n\n\nBook your entry slots now to view the exhibition in the Gallery.

SUMMARY:Generations: Portraits of Holocaust Survivors
DESCRIPTION:IWM London\, Lambeth Road\, London \nOver 50 contemporary portraits of Holocaust survivors and their families shine a light on the full lives they have lived and our collective responsibility to cherish their stories. \n“Packs a colossal emotional punch” – The Daily Telegraph \nIn partnership with the Royal Photographic Society (RPS)\, Jewish News\, the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust and Dangoor Education\, Generations: Portraits of Holocaust Survivors will showcase new works from 13 contemporary photographers\, all members and Fellows of RPS\, alongside photography by RPS patron\, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge. \nDisplayed for the very first time\, these powerful photographs capture the special connections between Holocaust survivors and the younger generations of their families. \nThe systematic persecution of Europe’s Jews by the Nazis between 1933 and 1945 led to the mass extermination of 6 million lives. For those who survived\, its memory and impact were life changing. \nThrough a series of individual and family portraits\, the moving photographs in this exhibition present a group of survivors who made the UK their home after beginnings marked by unimaginable loss and trauma. While offering a space to remember and share their stories\, these portraits are a celebration of the rich lives they have lived and the special legacy which their children and grandchildren will carry into the future. \nPhotographers include Frederic Aranda\, Sian Bonnell\, Jillian Edelstein\, Arthur Edwards\, Anna Fox\, Joy Gregory\, Jane Hilton\, Tom Hunter\, Karen Knorr\, Carolyn Mendelsohn\, Simon Roberts\, Michelle Sank and Hannah Starkey.

SUMMARY:Sara Davidmann: My Name is Sara
DESCRIPTION:My name is Sara draws upon themes of family\, post-memory and the Holocaust. \nSara Davidmann discovered a family album of photographs and handwritten notes in German (never before translated)\, that tell a story her father was never able to tell – of the German Jewish side of her family. \nDavidmann’s father\, Manfred\, and his sister Susi survived the Holocaust by escaping from Berlin on the Kindertransport\, arriving in Britain in 1939. \nThe photo-album belonged to Davidmann’s aunt Susi. Early photographs show a family life of seaside holidays\, weddings and Berlin outings – a family Davidmann had not known existed. \nRealising that many of these people did not reappear in photographs taken after World War II she searched for traces of their lives. She uncovered over 130 pages of Nazi and official documents. These revealed that family members were deported to\, and murdered\, in concentration camps at Auschwitz and Theresienstadt. Others survived by escaping to Shanghai and France\, and by living hidden in Berlin with false documents. \nAt the same time – parallel to making these discoveries\, Davidmann used photography and video to make artworks using the material she was uncovering. Recognisable objects – hair\, family photographs and Nazi documents appear in the artworks – only to be disrupted by elements of fire and erasure. This is the first exhibition of this work.” \nAn artist’s book\, Mischling 1\, published by GOST\, accompanies the exhibition. Signed copies of Mischling 1 will be on sale during the exhibition. \nImage: Kinderfest I\, 2018. Chemigram made using a digital negative. Printed with the artist’s blood\, darkroom chemicals and bleach\, 30.5 x 40.5 cm. © Sara Davidmann \nEVENTS\nA series of talks and events will take place at Four Corners and on-line during the exhibition. These include an ‘In Conversation’ with the exhibition’s curator\, Katy Barron\, and a talk for the Insiders/Outsiders Festival with Monica Bohm-Duchen. \nPARTNERS\nThe exhibition is supported by a Philip Leverhulme Prize awarded by The Leverhulme Trust\, The Association of Jewish Refugees\, Cockayne Grants for the Arts\, and London College of Communication\, University of the Arts London.

Much of the architecture echoed design trends in Europe and the walk includes passing housing by the émigré architects Ernst Freud and Erno Goldfinger. 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 which were famous in the 1930s for enabling Bauhaus designers to live here to escape the Nazi regime. \nPlease note that the Isokon Gallery should be open but allows only 6 in at a time. There is also a special display about Agatha Christie another Isokon resident. \nIn line with current social distancing requirements we have adopted certain mitigation practices regarding our walking tours.

SUMMARY:Second World War Internment in the UK – September 1939 to July 1940
DESCRIPTION:Before war was formally declared\, British intelligence was already gathering lists of potentially dangerous ‘enemy aliens’ who held German or Austrian citizenship. Small numbers of arrests were made in the days before Britain declared war against Germany\, and these arrests continued as Germans and Austrians living in the UK went before tribunals\, but only for those categorised as A (the other two categories being B – subject to restrictions but remaining at liberty and C – genuine refugees from Nazi oppression). \nIt was not until May 1940\, when Britain was at very real risk of invasion\, that internment policy drastically changed. The East and South Coasts were declared to be ‘protected areas’\, and foreign nationals living in those areas arrested and interned. Soon afterwards\, all Category Bs were rounded up\, whether male or female\, with some children included. In June and July\, men who were Category C were also arrested. \nThis talk by historian Rachel Pistol\, author of Internment During the Second World War: A Comparative Study of Great Britain and the USA (2017) and co-editor of British Internment and the Internment of Britons: Second World War Camps\, History and Heritage (forthcoming\, with Bloomsbury)\, will examine the first nine months of internment\, from the earliest camps on the UK mainland to the establishment of semi-permanent camps on the Isle of Man\, including the controversial transport abroad scheme that sent five ships to Canada and Australia\, only four of which arrived at their planned destinations. \nThis event is held in partnership with Jewish Renaissance magazine. \nTo book\, click here. \nImage: Warth Mills\, situated in the Redvales area of Bury on the River Irwell\, pictured in the late 1800s.

SUMMARY:Carry Gorney: ‘Send me a Parcel with a Hundred Lovely Things’
DESCRIPTION:In her memoir Send me a Parcel with a Hundred Lovely Things\, Carry Gorney considers how her own life was shaped by her refugee antecedents’ experience of displacement and reinvention – ordinary people caught up in extraordinary times. The book includes extracts from her parents’ letters\, revealing a historic resentment and suspicion of refugees and a unique picture of the internment camps on the Isle of Man. \nThe latter will form the focus of this online event\, which will comprise a dramatised reading by two professional actors of some of these moving extracts. \nIn Carry’s own words: “working over many years as an artist\, film maker\, writer and psychotherapist. I have used creative arts to create and enhance communities by linking lives. My goal has always been to strengthen the threads which connect us across beliefs\, across ethnicity and across time.” \nFor more information about Carry and her work\, see Carry Gorney: Writer and Artist \nThis event is held in partnership with Jewish Renaissance magazine. \nTo book\, click here. \nImage: Send Me A Parcel With A Hundred Lovely Things\, bookcover (detail)

SUMMARY:From Internee to Art Collector: Tribute to Ruth Borchard
DESCRIPTION:Born near Hamburg in 1910\, the writer Ruth Borchard came as a German-Jewish refugee to Britain in 1938. As an ‘enemy alien’ in wartime she was imprisoned first in Holloway Prison\, then interned in Rushen women’s camp on the Isle of Man. Her fictionalised memoir We Are Strangers Here: An Enemy Alien in Prison in 1940\, only published after her death\, provides a rare insight into life as a refugee in Holloway Prison. \nBetween 1958 and 1971 she amassed a superb collection of over 100 self-portraits by British-based artists\, well-known and less well-known\, which provides a fascinating overview of British portraiture in the mid-twentieth century \nAfter her death in 2000\, the collection was transferred to a charitable trust to become the Original Ruth Borchard Collection\, under the custodianship of Piano Nobile. In 2011 a biennial self-portrait prize was set up in her name\, with a selection of submitted works acquired for the Next Generation Collection. For more information\, click here. \nThe film being screened was made by Unity House for Sky Arts in 2020\, to coincide with an exhibition of works from the Ruth Borchard Collection being shown on the Isle of Man. \nIt will be followed by a Q&A with\, we hope\, members of Ruth’s family as well as others intimately familiar with her life story and achievements. \nThis event is held in partnership with Jewish Renaissance magazine. \nTo book\, click here. \nImage: Michael Noakes\, Ruth Borchard (detail)\, 1958\, oil on canvas\, 52 x 42 cm.
