SUMMARY:RBSA Annual Exhibition 2024
DESCRIPTION:The RBSA Membership is made up of almost 200 artists whose practices are rooted in a diverse range of media and techniques.  Exploring both traditional and contemporary approaches\, the RBSA’s Annual Exhibition showcases over 200 artworks\, all of which are for sale. \nThe first Royal Birmingham Society of Artists Annual Exhibition (then the Society of Artists) was held in 1827 and\, with the exception of 1940\, 1941\, and 2020\, has taken place every year since.  This will be the 24th Annual Exhibition held in our current Brook Street premises and the third since the refurbishment of the Gallery in 2022. \nThe artists exhibiting this year range in age and experience\, and the Membership welcomes those who have followed an artistic education as well as those who are self taught.  Indeed\, some of the current Membership came to their artistic practice and to the RBSA following careers in industries not related to the arts. \nEvery two years\, the RBSA Graduate Artist scheme encourages emerging young artists to join the Membership\, and many of the class of 2023 have work in this show.  Not only does this ensure the future of the Society and help to keep it relevant\, it also adds further diversity to the scope of artistic practices within the RBSA Membership. \nExhibiting artists will be in the Gallery every Saturday throughout the exhibition to talk about their work\, giving visitors a fascinating insight into their process.  These talks also provide visiting artists with the opportunity to talk to current Members and discuss ways in which they can become part of the Society. \nPrivate View: Thursday 14 November 6.00pm – 8.00pm\nArtists’ Talk: Saturdays 23 and 30 November\, 7 December 2.00pm – 3.00pm\nExhibition ends: Saturday 4 January 2025 5.00pm \nFeatured image: Jenny Ryrie RBSA\, Winter Landscape

SUMMARY:Alan Reullier - The Art Of A Second Life
DESCRIPTION:The Art Of A Second Life is the latest project from award-winning French artist\, designer\, and sculptor\, Alan Reullier. \nWith an eclectic background as both graffiti artist and aircraft mechanic\, Alan is known for sustainable art created from discarded industrial and natural materials. His aim is to add value by creating a bridge between industry and art\, without distorting the medium\, reflecting the values of the Arte Povera movement. \nThe Reullier-British Motor Heritage collaboration story\nTwenty years ago\, British Motor Heritage was gifted over one million original and microfilm engineers’ drawings from the early 1900s to the late 1970s\, previously archived at The British Motor Museum. Because of their now fragile condition\, British Motor Heritage have been digitising the drawings to preserve their contents\, but they are unable to keep them. \nAlan subsequently set about rescuing as many drawings as possible\, and has been re-imaging them into artwork. By sympathetically working around the original designs and information\, Alan is creating sustainable\, vibrant\, and unique works of art. This exhibition features the British Motor Heritage Collection along with some of Alan’s other sustainable artwork. \nPrivate View: Thursday 27 March 5.30pm – 7.30pm\, open to all\nExhibition closes: Saturday 5 April 5.00pm\n \nFeatured image: Alan Reullier\, Modernism SWB Land Rover

SUMMARY:University of Birmingham - Remembering is Painful\, Forgetting is Unbearable: Creative Responses to Terror
DESCRIPTION:Remembering is Painful\, Forgetting is Unbearable explores questions such as why do some terror attacks make international headlines while others remain in the shadows? How do survivors of terror attacks make sense of their experiences? Whose voices are marginalised in contemporary debates about terrorism? And crucially\, what role does art play in the practices of remembering\, bearing witness\, confronting\, and transforming trauma? \nThe title of this exhibition\, inspired by the words of Anne Murris\, a mother who lost her daughter in the 2016 Nice attack\, captures the tension at its core; the ongoing struggle between the pain of memory and the unbearable void of forgetting. \nDeveloped in collaboration with survivors of recent terror attacks in Europe\, as well as international artists and researchers\, this exhibition presents a critical\, survivor-centred perspective on terrorism today. This collective attempt opens dialogues to challenge linear perspectives on the passing of time and the experience of victimhood\, and creates counter-memories that resist sanitised histories. \nCommissioned by University of Birmingham\, funded by European Research Council. \nExhibition ends: Saturday 22 February 2025 5.00pm \nFeatured image: Katharina Karcher\, Obstructed view of mural by Kollektiv ohne Namen\, Frankfurt\, 2020
