Small Talk

Telephone: +44(0)20 7717 2210/2295

The 62 Group exhibition Small Talk will be shown in both the Constance Howard Gallery and the Special
Collections Library.

No appointment necessary during the period of the exhibition, however, if visitors would like to see
anything from the collection or the archive then an appointment should be made.

The 62 Group has a strong link with Goldsmiths as many of the exhibiting members were past students
and indeed teachers. “Small Talk”, as the title suggests, brings together new small-scale work in a range of mediums in response to the gallery space.

Tuesday 4th June. 1-2pm
62 Group, Goldsmiths and beyond. Led by Heather Belcher & Lucy Brown

62 Group Artists Heather Belcher and Lucy Brown will be in conversation, introducing the 62 Group, outlining its aims, history and its connections through textiles at Goldsmiths and beyond. As Goldsmith Textile Alumni, and 62 Group exhibiting and committee members, Heather and Lucy will reflect on their past and present individual practices and future projects of the 62 Group. There will be the opportunity to ask questions and join in discussion while having a chance to handle samples from the 62 Group’s Handling Collection.

Tuesday 11th June. 1-2pm
The Witchcraft Series (Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead) by Anne Jackson, 62 Group artist.

Anne Jackson’s current work titled The Witchcraft Series, explores witch persecution in European history, the idea of “the witch” and witchcraft in contemporary culture. Anne sees this subject as a rich metaphorical territory, with its resonances of fear of the unknown, the feminine, and the “other”. Anne will discuss these themes further in context with her personal practice.
