Join us discussing the major Tate retrospective of the artist and film director Steve McQueen.

The Whitechapel Gallery is looking to overturn art criticism’s 1980s declaration that ‘painting is dead’.

Tune in to hear which camp we’re in and what we made of all that unadulterated colour. Secondly, we all embarked upon an enduring love of Surrealist artist, Dorothea Tanning. A veritable ‘Renaissance Woman’ who confidently straddles a...
