Hello dear German Talkers,
I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the (finally) sunnier and milder weather.
I’m happy to announce the date for the next German Talk. It will be on the 12th June at 17:30 in the School of Art. The topic will be Curating Nature, an exhibition organised by third-year students as part of the module ‘Curating an Exhibition: Researching, Interpreting and Displaying’.
See you soon?
Alles Gute und vielleicht bis bald,
Karen
(Curatorial Officer)
Dear German Talkers,
thank you all who could make it yesterday. I hope you enjoyed the exhibition about the life and work of Welsh artist Bert Isaac.
As usual, please find below the transcript of the talk. Due to copyright issues, I’m afraid I can’t include any images of Isaac’s work.
However, the exhibition is still open until the 12th April 2024, if you would like to visit. We are open Monday – Friday, 10am-5pm, closed for Easter 29th March – 1th April.
I’m planning another German Talk before the summer break and will publish the date and topic on this blog as soon as possible.
If you would like to join the mailing list to keep updated about the German Talks, please email me on: kaw25@aber.ac.uk.
Don’t worry, I won’t bombard you with loads of emails, only information about the German Talks and possibly the odd news about exhibition openings.
Wishing you all a very happy springtime, und vielleicht bis bald,
Karen

Dear German Talkers,
thank you very much to all who could make it yesterday. I hope you found the presentation about the beginnings of Punch and looking at some Punch illustrations and issues interesting.
As requested, I’m including yesterday’s PowerPoint presentation below. I had to change only a few images of artists and replace a photo with a link (where you can find it), so that I hopefully won’t get into any trouble regarding copyrights. As usual, please don’t use any images from the text document and/or presentation without carefully double-checking copyright rules beforehand.
I’ll announce the date for the next ‘German Talk’ here on our museum blog in the near future, so keep an eye out.
Until then, all the best wishes und vielleicht bis bald,
Karen
Curatorial Officer
Apologies in case I overlooked any typos in the text document. There always seems to be one…

Hello, dear German Talkers,
thank you very much to all who attended yesterday’s German Talk. I hope you enjoyed the Marcelle Hanselaar-exhibition, although I’m aware that the topics in her work are not exactly ‘sunny’. I certainly enjoyed our little discussion.
Below, you find yesterday’s text, which you are welcome to download for your own private use. Please be aware that text and image are under copyright.
I’m planning to host the next German Talk in early September and will announce the date as soon as possible here on the blog and email those on my mailing list. If you would like to be included in the German Talk-mailing list, please let me know: kaw25@aber.ac.uk Any feedback about the talks, whether positive or negative, is always welcome, too.
Have a lovely summer, everyone and
bist bald,

Hello dear German Talkers,
thank you everyone who made it to the talk yesterday. I hope you enjoyed Ceri Richards’s work and Debussy’s music.
For those who couldn’t make it, please find below the (almost) verbatim text. I’m afraid I can’t include any images due to copyright issues. However, you can find many examples on the Art UK website, which I included at the end of the text. You will also find links to the pieces by Debussy that we listened to last night.
I’m not quite sure yet when the next talk will be, but I’m aiming for sometime in June, probably towards the end of the month. I’ll let you know as soon as possible, of course.
All the best wishes and frohe Ostern,
Karen
