Artist Call///Red Table 2024
A Red Table painted 70 years ago. So what…? We want to know from you. A response to Red Table 70 years later. Bring your painting, sculpture film performance to the XL Gallery on 7 March, 10 AM. Red Table Project
Workshop with painter Maggie Ayliffe (Liverpool John Moores) and Christian Mieves
Between 1952 and 1957 the Fine Art Department set the foundation for a painting collection, as part of the Hatton Gallery. This collection , called the “teaching collection”, was an integral part of the Fine Art department. We want to use the opportunity to revisit the unique resource and want to ask, how the use of language encountering paintings has changed in in the decades.
For this reason, we invite you, as part of the Painting Forum, to take part in the project, to access the archive at our doorsteps and respond creatively to a painting from the collection.
Take part in the exhibition and workshop with painter Maggie Ayliffe.

Painting + is a place for regular studio discussions about painting, an exchange of ideas and texts dealing with the everyday task of painting.It started in autumn 2019 with a series of informal discussions on painting with Newcastle University Fine Art students from all years (Undergraduate and Postgraduate).
This year we will have a series of conversations with painters, practical painting workshops and reading group meetings, discussing texts dealing with the idea of painting.
Every forum meeting we will discuss paintings or a text (see Readings for previous discussions).
