Cheltenham on 07 Oct - 6:00pm - 7:00pm
The Young British Artists stormed onto the contemporary art scene in 1988 with their attention-grabbing, ironic art; exploding art-world conventions and ushering in one of the most thrilling periods in British art. Elizabeth Fullerton (Artrage!: The Story of the BritArt Revolution) and Jonathan Jones, art critic and close collaborator of Tracey Emin (Tracey Emin: Works 20072017) talk to BBC Arts Editor Will Gompertz about an electrifying era of unmade beds and formaldehyde sharks. The Parabola Arts Centre is located in a Grade II listed building in the glamorous Montpellier district of Cheltenham. The centre was built as a facility for students of Cheltenham Ladies College and to be used as a public arts centre by the local community. The original, listed Bayshill House was transformed into a gallery, bar and foyer area. The villa also houses all the rehearsal spaces, offices, video editing suite, dance studio and library. This means that the regular activity of the building takes place in the light, beautifully restored listed building.
