Manpower Lectures – #4 Queer and Now (online)
Manpower Lectures – #4 Queer and Now (online)

6—7pm

Members $100, Non-Members $190, Students $80 Book now

What's queer about long-nineteenth-century British art now? Answering this question, Edwards address two entirely different examples: Henry Hugh Armstead’s mid-Victorian bronze statuette ‘Satan dismayed’ otherwise known as ‘Saint Michael and the Serpent’ (1852) and Henry Scott Tuke’s 1924 oil painting, ‘Companions’. Both artists remain marginalised, and have proven difficult to canonise for different reasons: Armstead as a predominantly decorative artist in a canon still primarily oriented towards the two-dimensional and the category of fine art, and Tuke because of the open secret of the pederastic character of his work, at a moment in which childhood sexual abuse remains one of the key cultural issues of our time. What might we learn from returning to think about both?

This lecture is a pre-recorded lecture that will be made available to ticketholders to watch in their own time. This lecture is the fourth in a four-part series, Manpower Lectures: Antiquity, aesthetes and athleticism.

Tiens, papa, pourquoi que l'eau arrive sur nous?... - Mon fils, je suis bien aise que vous m'adressiez cette question qui dénote que vous désirez vous instruire et sonder les mystères de la nature ... les flots arrivent sur le rivage par suite du FLUX qui est l'opposé du REFLUX ... l'un et l'autre effet ont pour cause, l'attraction des montagnes de la lune ... faites moi penser ce soir, mon fils, de vous expliquer avec la même clarté, le système lunaire. [Well, Papa, why does the water come to us ...? My son, I am very glad that you ask me this question, which denotes that you desire to be informed and investigate the mysteries of nature ... the waves come towards the beach as a consequence of the ebb which is in opposition to the flow ... The reason for the one or the other effect is the attraction of the mountains and the moon ... do remind me tonight, my son, and I shall explain to you with the same clarity the lunar theory.]
