Lindsey Mendick in conversation with Charlotte Flint

Join artist Lindsey Mendick and Curatorial Assistant Charlotte Flint for a discussion about the role of art making as a form of relief, catharsis and comfort.

The discussion will explore Mendick’s own artistic practice and the work of Laure Pigeon (1882-1965), Madge Gill (1882-1961) and Aloïse (1886-1964), three female Art Brut artists, whose work is on display in the exhibition.

This event has been programmed to coincide with Jean Dubuffet: Brutal Beauty, an exhibition celebrating French artist Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985), one of the most singular and provocative voices in postwar modern art.

This is a live online event and booking will close at 5pm on the day of the event. Please watch on our YouTube channel or by clicking the play button below.
