14. (Digital) German Talk – June 2020 – Frederick Walker – 19th. Century Illustrator

Dear ‘German Talkers’,

I hope you and your families and friends are all keeping safe and well during these truly ‘interesting’ times.

As I am not sure when we will be able to welcome you again in our School of Art Galleries (which are currently, of course, still closed), I thought I’d try something new and create a ‘digital’ German Talk. This is a first for me, and I certainly had some fun playing around with PowerPoint & Co. I hope you enjoy the outcome.

You find the instructions below. They should help to navigate the different documents and the presentation itself. I had a kind friend who patiently proofread and tried the various documents, the presentation and instructions, so –  hopefully – all should work just fine.

You are very welcome to send some feedback – positive and negative. Just email me on: kaw25@aber.ac.uk

In a couple of weeks or so, I will also publish a slightly longer English version of the text here on the School of Art blog. It’s something I have been working on since last spring, but kept getting distracted from. Now seems the right time to finally finish it….. 🙂

Take care of yourselves and all the very best wishes,

Karen

Instructions:

1. The first PDF is the usual document with the text and exercises that you would get from me during a talk and which I would usually upload here on the museum’s blog afterwards. You might want to download that one first of all. If you can, print if off, so that you can read along the presentation which is the next link. I included the images in the text as well, in case you can’t open the presentation.
2. You should be able to download the PowerPoint presentation. When it’s downloaded, you can just click on it and it should open without problems. I tried to make it a bit more ‘exciting’ than a usual slide show, and hopefully it should give the impression, as if you were walking around an actual exhibition – more or less anyway.
3. You can ‘walk’ through the gallery from ‘wall to wall’ simply by clicking your mouse.
4. There are little arrows on the left at the bottom of the presentation with which you can also move forwards and backwards between slides.
5. You see a loudspeaker symbol in some of the slides. When you hover across it, you can see a ‘play’ sign. Click, and you get the text that goes with the image/s read out by me. Unfortunately, the sound quality isn’t fantastic, so you might want to turn up the volume. I tried to read quite slowly, so I hope you are able to understand it well.
6. When the recording is finished, you can move on with another mouse click.
7. After the Vagrants images, the exercises will start with the next slide. I tried to make them ‘interactive’, so please don’t be too quick with clicking your mouse again. You might then see the solutions to the questions/tasks before you solved them yourself. You also have all the exercises/solutions in your first PDF as well.
8. The other PDFs are poems that are mentioned in the talk. The Summer Woods is the one you’d need for one of the exercises.
9. As usual, you are very welcome to print out everything for your own personal use, but please don’t distribute or use anything for any other cause, especially the images, as they are under copyright. All images that have a ‘PL’-number are from the School of Art collection. However, some images belong, for example, to the Tate, and they kindly allowed me to use them, because the talk is educational/non-commercial.

‘Another Line to Follow’ – Exhibition Catalogue

The 1st May would have been the last day of our Another Line to Follow- exhibition, and we are sad that – due to the current situation – we couldn’t welcome visitors to our School of Art Gallery in person over the last few weeks. Nevertheless, our Senior Curator Neil Holland has put together the below catalogue of the show, so that those of you who didn’t have a chance to see it live can at least catch a glimpse of the many fabulous works that were on display:

Another Line to Follow

You are very welcome to download the PDF and, if you are interested in purchasing one of the works, please contact us: arlstaff@aber.ac.uk

Take care and stay safe,

The School of Art Museum team

13. German Talk – Follow-up

Hello,

it was lovely seeing you all yesterday, and I hope you enjoyed the talk and the exhibtions. For those who couldn’t make it, they are still open until the 1st May 2020, Monday – Friday, 10am – 5pm (closed Easter 10th – 17th April).

As usual, you can download and print a copy of the talk for personal use. All content and images are subject to copyright:

13. German Talk – A Radical Tradition Text – 4 March 2020

The next German Talk will be advertised here and in the other usual places, such as the EGO magazine, as soon as possible. However, I am actually in the process of planning and curating an exhibition for the summer (my very first!), so I probably won’t have the time to organise another German Talk before the middle or end of June.

All the very best und bis bald,

Karen
