Curatorial Conversations | Highlighting Victorian Radicals and the Birmingham Collections
Birmingham Museums Trust Co-CEO Sara Wajid and Curator Victoria Osborne in a conversation with Bill Sherman (Warburg Institute Director) and Gregory Perry (CEO, Association for Art History).
This event took place on 18 June 2024 and was organised by the Association for Art History in conjunction with the Warburg Institute, University of London.
Victorian Radicals: From the Pre-Raphaelites to the Arts and Crafts Movement, at the Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, presents three generations of British artists, designers and makers who revolutionised the visual arts in the second half of the nineteenth century. The Pre-Raphaelites, William Morris and his circle, and the men and women of the Arts and Crafts movement transformed art and design. The exhibition features works in a variety of media - paintings, drawings, jewellery, glass, textiles and metalwork - selected from the city of Birmingham's significant collection.
They discuss the planning and realisation of the exhibition and its US tour, as well as the threat posed to the Birmingham collections by the financial struggles of local councils in the era of austerity and the recent, unprecedented announcement by the central government in the UK that councils should consider disposing of assets such as public buildings and collections to improve their budgets.
Curatorial Conversations, in collaboration with the Association for Art History, invites museum directors and curators of recent exhibitions and installations at world-leading museums and galleries to discuss their work. The conversations, led by Bill Sherman and Gregory Perry, discuss the issues of setting the directorial or curatorial agenda and staging meaningful encounters with objects. The series is designed to draw out discussion of the discoveries made, challenges tackled and the lessons learned in heading a collection, presenting important permanent collections and putting together internationally renowned exhibitions.

    99 names of Allah vs 50 names of Marduk. The patron god of ancient Ur was Nanaar Sin whose religious symbol was a crescent moon embracing an eight pointed star. (Both present by Kabba)Kabba vs kabbalah. Also the dream of Gilgamesh was of a falling star that the people of Uruk gathered around it and moved around it. Kissing the falling star like a little baby. Loving it and embracing it as a wife. 🤔

    Great, thanks. One point regarding Bosch being conventional in his religious views is - if I correctly caught things - his apparent portraying in The Garden of Earthly Delights of evil in the world ‘before’ Adam and Eve fall. This though is certainly not of the traditional Christian thinking. A bit late to be asking this now, all this time after the video was done, but i wonder how this would be answered.

    Basically we have so much of such Knowledge in the Arabic world, in Almost All Libraries you'll find a book containing Magic Practices, 9 out of 10 times the Author will include something in the Beginning like "اتق الله لأن هذا سحر" or the famous Quranic verse "ولا يفلح الساحر حيث أتى" Meaning "Fear God, for this Book will Teach you about Forbidden Magic" (All kinds of Magic is forbidden in islam) or include the Quranic verse in the Story of Moses "Magicians will never Succeed" This is Also Mentioned in the Quran, that many (if not All) Magicians will warn you at the beginning; that you're about to sell the Afterlife for the riches of this Earth; meaning you'll be Guaranteed an Eternal Damnation at the Price of having whatever you want on this Temporary Earthly life

    The significance of Democritus is that he was a naturalistic philosopher who thought that we all just die when we die, the world is made of matter, period. The significance of Empedocles is that he believed that he himself had become immortal through being enlightened and other people can too, and believed it to the degree that he launched himself into a caldera. Both images are, I think, meant to make a mockery of religion and its institutions, by going to extremes. Just my opinion, would love to hear other interpretations.

    Wonderful presentation, thank you for bringing more light to such a talented and interesting artist. Personally, I love his engravings, they have a draftsman's hand that disappears not long after Rosa with technical innovations. I mean the transition from hand made lines to the Goltzius style of using devices to make swelling and thinning lines in perfect circular orbits, which results in an impression that is stultifying, too regular and impersonal, in my opinion.
