Paul Klee
The Nature of Creation

Paul Klee: The Nature of CreationView this e-bulletin online: www.rfh.org.uk/ebulletins/klee

'Colour has taken hold of me; no longer do I have to chase after it. Colour and I are one. I am a painter.'
Paul Klee, Tunisia, April 1914.

Explore the work of one of the great masters of modern art. Paul Klee: The Nature of Creation, curated by Berlin-based art historian Robert Kudielka and artist Bridget Riley, brings together a sharp historical perspective and an artist's eye. It examines, for the first time, Klee's work from the perspective of his own thinking and his role in the development of 20th century art. Around 100 of Klee's most important works from private and public collections worldwide, many never before seen in the UK, are presented in a single showing at the Hayward Gallery.

Paul Klee has influenced many artists, architects, writers and composers, through his writing, as well as his paintings and graphic work. The Hayward Gallery has a series of talks and events providing representatives from these different forms with the opportunity to examine the power of Paul Klee's work.

One event not to miss is the Curators in Conversation on 23 January, 6.30pm (free with an exhibition ticket for the day) in the galleries. Artist Bridget Riley and Art Historian Robert Kudielka discuss the exhibition and what inspires them about Paul Klee's work.

WARTE MAL!
Prostitution After the Velvet Revolution
A Video Installation by Ann-Sofi Sidén

Swedish artist Ann-Sofi Sidén works with hidden worlds. Her video installation Warte Mal! (Hey Wait!) explores the complexities of Dubi, a small town on the Czech-German border. Once a flourishing spa town, it now exists almost solely for the purposes of prostitution. Warte Mal! mixes filmed interviews with prostitutes, pimps and police and material from the artist's diaries. This powerful and thought-provoking work is presented in a large-scale installation which opens at the Hayward Gallery on 17 January.

Please note that the Ann-Sofi Sidén exhibition includes video interviews with prostitutes talking frankly about the experiences. Visitors with children should exercise their discretion.
