For the first time in the Uk, And Now it’s Dark showcases the work of three leading american photographers - Jeff Brouws, todd hido and Will steacy - who all make images at night.

On peripatetic road journeys through the Us, Jeff Brouws captures the glow of headlamps and neon – the illuminated attractions and distractions of the american roadside that give a troubling picture of commercial encroachment on the landscape.

photographs from Will steacy’s project, Down These Mean Streets, present the culmination of a series of ‘night walks’ made by the photographer from a variety of regional airports to the financial centres of nearby cities. steacy’s work confronts the economic hinterlands, abandoned places and ‘peripheral’ resident populations seemingly forgotten or ignored by mainstream american politics.todd hido’s night photographs are imbued with a psychological tension and emotional drama that underpin the suburban american landscape. hido’s work is driven by narrative and memory, and his landscapes, suburban scenes and interiors possess an ever present sense that something has happened or is just about to happen.the work of these three contemporary photographers is contextualized within the exhibition by seminal examples of earlier night photography. Jack Delano, a photographer who was part of the Fsa/OWi documentary projects of the 1930s and 1940s, along with Walker evans, russell lee and Dorothea lange, produced a number of kodachrome night photographs. his images of railway yards, especially, present a picture of growing national prosperity

and the early commercialisation of the mid-century landscape. William klein’s short film, Broadway by Light (1958), underscores the neon invasion of the american cityscape, lighting the night in a mesmerising flood of colour and movement. Blackout, New York (1965), a series of photographs made by rené Burri in November 1965, offers an alternative view of the city as it was thrown into pitch darkness with scenes lit only by the torches of police officers, candles and the interior lights of buses and cars.

IN THE SHADOW OF WAr

images: left: Figure in a Landscape 1945 Francis Bacon (1909-1992) © tate, london 2014above: Crucifixion 1946 graham sutherland OM © tate, london 2014Below: Iron Sculpture 1953 (private collection) by lynn chadwick © estate of lynn chadwick, 2014

in anticipation of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War ii, this exhibition features the work of a generation of artists who rose to prominence in post-war Britain.

a period of reconstruction and recovery, the 40s and early 50s were also marked by austerity and the newly drawn battle lines of cold War politics. in the art world too positions became polarized between the claims of realism versus abstraction and between different forms of realism itself. Focusing on broadly figurative trends in painting and sculpture, this exhibition explores realist art in its many different guises.

Francis Bacon quickly established himself as the greatest figurative artist of his time with work characterized by its atheistic stance and anguished subject matter. although of a slightly older generation defined by their work of the 1930s, both graham sutherland and henry Moore remained potent forces in the post-war era. Marxist art critic John Berger looked to art that he felt supported a collective, social agenda and championed social realist art represented in the exhibition by works of the so-called ‘kitchen sink’ school.

the figurative art of this time abounds with allusions to the trauma of war from Bacon’s use of Nazi imagery to the holocaust references in sutherland’s ‘crucifixion’ for st Mathew’s church, Northampton. in 1952, herbert read dubbed the work of a group of young British sculptors - including lynn chadwick, kenneth armitage and Bernard Meadows – the ‘geometry of fear’, referring to its iconography of despair, or defiance.

throughout the 50s, Frank auerbach and leon kossoff dedicated themselves to a series of paintings of london building sites, many of which had been occasioned by the bombing raids during the Blitz. Others, such as Merlyn evans, made direct references to their wartime experiences.

Other artists include: John Bratby, reg Butler, prunella clough, robert colquhoun, Derrick greaves, lucian Freud, elisabeth Frink, Josef herman, patrick heron, l. s. lowry, robert MacBryde, edward Middleditch, John Minton, eduardo paolozzi, ceri richards, Jack smith, William turnbull, keith vaughan.

LEE MILLEr’S WAr

a remarkable female icon of the 20th century best known as a model and surrealist photographer, this exhibition focuses on one of the least recognised aspects of lee Miller’s life - her years as a photojournalist during World War ii.Working as a freelance photographer for vogue, in 1944 lee Miller became accredited as a war correspondent with the Us army. she was the only woman in combat photojournalism in europe during World War ii and witnessed the liberation of paris and the russian/american link up in torgau. she was also one of the first to arrive at the Buchenwald and Dachau concentration camps.

lee Miller’s photographs function not only as historical records but also as powerful images in their own right that sear unforgettably into the memory.

Fellow photographer David e scherman said, “lee Miller was never afraid of what the evil men do”, and perhaps it was this that allowed her to keep on photographing, despite witnessing some of mankind’s worst acts of inhumanity.

GEOrGE GrEEN

NOttiNghaM’s MagNiFiceNt MatheMaticiaN

Over 170 years after his death, mathematical techniques invented by george green (1793-1841) are still widely used in physics and engineering. his first essay, self-published in 1828, has been described as “one of the most important works ever written on electricity”, and “the beginning of mathematical physics in england”. yet green died in obscurity. his essay was unknown until it was read with astonishment in 1845 by William thomson, later lord kelvin, and reprinted by him a few years later.

even more remarkable is the fact that george green was a working man – a miller in his father’s windmill in sneinton. he attended school for just one year. Who could have introduced him to the complex mathematics that he used? Unfortunately, many details about green’s life and work are unclear, since all of his papers were destroyed after his death. Members of the University of Nottingham have been at the forefront of studies into george green since the early 20th century. the University was also a key player in the project to restore green’s Mill in the 1970s and 1980s, and hosted prestigious events to celebrate green’s bicentenary in 1993.

this exhibition draws on the george green collection of papers gathered by his biographers and members of the george green Memorial Fund, and has been curated by Manuscripts and special collections at the University of Nottingham. a rare copy of his 1828 essay will be on display alongside items relating to his family, his education in Nottingham and cambridge, and his mill and its restoration. We explore green’s lasting importance, and remember tributes by kelvin, einstein, and the Nobel prizewinner Julian schwinger. it is time for george green to be celebrated again in his hometown.

a series of talks will be held to accompany the exhibition. places are limited so please book in advance with the Box Office on 0115 846 7777.

Wednesday 1 OctoberGeorge Green and His millgreen's Mill in sneinton dates back to 1807. after a prominent fundraising campaign in the 1970s and 1980s it was restored and re-opened as a science centre in 1985. the following year flour was ground there again for the first time since the 1860s. in this talk tom huggon, chairman of the Friends of green's Mill, discusses george green's work as a miller, the mill's history, and its future.

Tuesday 21 October George Green’s Contribution to MRIgeorge green introduced two mathematical concepts: the idea of a potential energy in physical problems, and a way of calculating it for complex systems using what is now called a green's function. Both of these ideas, suitably extended, proved central to the Nottingham design of actively screened coils for Magnetic resonance imaging. emeritus professor roger Bowley of the school of physics explains how the team used green's techniques in their work.

Wednesday 12 NovemberGeorge Green’s Mathematical Influences george green was an "almost entirely self-taught mathematical genius" (NM Ferrers, 1871) whose work was a major influence on the mathematical physics of the 19th and 20th centuries and shows no signs of stopping in the 21st. But from where or from whom did green learn his mathematics? peter rowlett from Nottingham trent University surveys green's education in Nottingham and cambridge and those who influenced him.

Archaeology NOW

Bronze and Iron Age Nottinghamshire: Problems & Possibilities

Wednesday 8 October

the late prehistoric period was perhaps the most revolutionary period in British history. it was during this time that British society developed from one of small isolated rural communities to one based around large tribal regions with urban centres of power and industry. today, monuments that survive from this period continue to dominate the British landscape. One of the few exceptions to this, however, is Nottinghamshire. Often jokingly referred to as a ‘boring flat county’ this talk will uncover the truth and show that there is far more to Nottinghamshire’s late prehistoric archaeology than meets the eye.

Dr Chris robinson, Archaeological Officer with Nottinghamshire County Councils Conservation Team

after the talk there will be the opportunity to handle Bronze age and iron age material in the Museum.

Deciphering Ancient Art: looking at images from Egypt to Roman Britainthis workshop will discuss and interpret ancient artworks in the museum’s collection, ranging from ancient egypt to roman Britain, stopping off with the greeks and etruscans along the way. the talk and handling session will explore several questions: what does the decoration on objects tell us about the people who created them? What difficulties and dangers does a modern viewer face when trying to interpret the imagery of antiquity? how can we best move from looking at objects behind glass, to understanding the cultures behind them?

1000 years of War Poems

Wednesday 5 November archaeology can give great insight into past conflicts through the study of weapons used, wounds inflicted, how battles took place in the landscape and the settlements laid to waste. None of these actually tell us how the people involved felt. poems of war and conflict can help us to do this. this talk takes examples of poems from anglo-saxon times to the 20th century and looks at what these can add to our understanding of the artefacts and the experiences of the people who used them.

Founded in Warsaw in 1995, the szymanowski Quartet has captivated audiences at prestigious festivals and concert halls in europe, the United states, asia, australia and south america. they make a welcome return to lakeside with an intriguing programme that includes works by two polish composers: the 16th-century court composer Wacław of szamotuły,

and szymanowski, whose string Quartet No.2 written in 1927 incorporates characteristic elements of polish folk music.

Haydn string Quartet in B minor, Op.33/1Wacław of Szamotuły choralesSzymanowski string Quartet No.2, Op.56Mendelssohn string Quartet in F minor, Op.80

Mor karbasi sings in ladino, a beautiful language that has almost died out whose roots lie in the lost culture of the Jewish communities from the golden age of al-andalus in 10th-century southern spain. Mor and guitarist partner Joe taylor live in the old Jewish area of seville and her third album la tsadika released in May 2014 - hailed by the press as her finest yet - reflects the influence of her surroundings. Mor also sings in hebrew and spanish; her arrangements of ladino classics and traditional Moroccan sephardic songs are interspersed with original compositions with shades of flamenco, fado and even jazz.

For starters we have the magic pot which won’t stop producing porridge. the main course is a delicious soup made from the scrummiest stone in the world and for pudding (if you can catch it) we have a walking talking gingerbread Man, who is just asking to be munched!

Brothers in Blood is an emotional rollercoaster of heart-pounding, soul-moving drama exploring relations between Muslims, christians and Jews in south africa. set in cape town during an uneasy time of gang wars, it is a tale of perception, culture, truth and the devastating consequences of misunderstandings. Never previously seen in the Uk, it was the winner of the 2010 Naledi theatre award for best new south african script.

ELUSIVE SPrING Directed by kate staffordl

elusive spring is a political thriller set in post-colonial africa. it interweaves the stories of a local journalist who becomes dangerously enmeshed in political intrigue, an idealistic intern within the British embassy and an artist using his skill as a puppeteer to undermine and challenge the status quo. as their lives become increasingly intertwined, the sense of impending threat and dark undercurrent of a rotten system starts to show through the veneer of civilisation.

this three member a cappella vocal group combines a stunning mix of musical styles: township jazz, hip-hop, afro-pop and afro-soul. No instruments, no music lessons - just their own voices and local inspiration … that’s all these 20-somethings had during their soweto childhood. the group’s music is underpinned by a great rhythmic vocal bass line and beat boxing while the other two voices provide the ever-changing top lines.

the award-winning, platinum-selling trio comes to afrovibes 2014 direct from the apollo theater in harlem. afrovibes music nights are famed for their energy and great sounds – and this year will be no exception!

The threesome generate genuinely incredible music using only their voices. It’s a beautiful thing to witness. The List

this award-winning play revisits the horror of a racially-motivated shooting spree that devastated the remote settlement of skierlik in 2008. thomas moved away after his wife and three month old daughter were killed in the atrocity: the burden of living alone in the family home was unbearable. But now he’s returning. We ride with him on the long dirt road back to skierlik. Following thomas’s thoughts, we too experience what he is about to face back home in his tiny shack: the blue shack that he knows so well, with the padlock on the door.

as heard recently on BBc radio 4's "John shuttleworth's lounge Music"

versatile singer/organist, John shuttleworth, wants to share fond memories of his favourite past weekends. however, a typo on the poster means John is obliged to spend the evening paying homage to his next-door neighbour and sole agent - the diminutive ken Worthington.

he'll probably end up doing both! in this brand new show, shuttleworth ("sheffield's funniest man" the times) will perform classic tunes such as "two Margarines" and "i can't go Back to savoury Now" as well as new ditties like "Bitter sweet Memories" and "relatives in rotherham".

CANDOCO DANCE COMPANy PLAyING ANOTHErcandoco, the contemporary dance company of disabled and non-disabled performers return to lakeside with two new full company works.

acclaimed visual artist hetain patel’s new work for candoco is a humorous and intimate piece exploring the dancers’ individual personalities and physicalities, asking questions of their identity and challenging audiences to think beyond surface appearances. hetain's teD talk Who am i? think again, a performative interrogation of identity, has been an internet sensation with over a million views.

thomas hauert’s Notturnino is a playful and poignant new work that takes inspiration from Tosca’s Kiss, a touching documentary that follows the lives of retired opera singers living in a Milan nursing home. Using the film soundtrack, the piece is scored by fragments of conversation, reminiscences and great operatic works performed by the ageing singers. through wit and melodrama Notturnino explores the fragility of life.

Full of humour and bawdy wit, this new comedy transports us into the wanton world of the english restoration. king charles ii lies ill, Nell gwyn, his royal whore, once the brightest star of the restoration theatre, rages against her fate. What will become of her if charles is summoned to his Maker? What perils will befall the english nation? Mistress gwyn and Margery, her maid, lead us a merry dance, filled with their laughter, their tears, and Nell’s enchanting songs of the Baroque: a rollicking romp which ends with a sting in its tail.

Mansfield and her co-writer, Steve Trafford manage to get to the heart and soul of their subjects, and the songs are so skillfully interwoven that they truly add to the story ****What’s On stage for portraits in song

a comedy of betrayal. Mark thomas tells his true story of how Britain’s biggest arms manufacturer (Bae systems) came to spy on a comedian. a tale of hubris, planes, demos and undercover deceit told by an award-winning performer. this is a personal and timely tale that tries to unearth what it means to be spied upon by a corporation under the sanction of the state. as usual plenty of laughs, some weird characters, documentary styles, probably a tear or two and the vague possibility that Mark might get beaten up in the making of it as he tries to find out if he wants revenge or if he can forgive a friend.
