Welcome back to the start of what looks like an
exciting new school year! We have returned raring to go after a successful
first year as Education at 20-21,
with what's looking like another successful year ahead of us.
Education at 20-21 are hitting the
ground running with four extremely enticing exhibitions for schools and
teachers. This Autumn term 20-21’s
galleries will be jam packed with exhibitions that hold tremendous links
for delivering creative sessions in literacy, visual literacy and language.
All
Aboard for Literacy Links Central!
Helen
Snell’s “Burnt
Out” will be her biggest solo exhibition to date, displaying new works
developed around her research and time spent at the National Maritime
Museum
This exhibition features large scale
works made especially for the space at 20-21. The work cut from steel, acrylic,
paper, card and fabric tells tales of exploration, survival and the quest for
knowledge in hostile and extreme environments.
This exhibition runs 5th Oct-18th
Jan. Below are some examples of Helen Snell's past work.

Tracey Holland’s exhibition “Atlas of Charged Space”
uses photography, film and collage to create site-specific installations that
explore the links between science, mythology, religion and history. Using
light, silhouette and transparancy she creates a distinctive visual language,
rich with spellbinding fairytale-esque stories.
There are direct links drawn between
Tracey Holland's work and that of Helen Snell's, by considering the artists'
abilities to trell stories without words, encouraging people to think beyond
the boundaries of the artworks before them. Both these exhibitions sit very
neatly with teaching visual literacy and creative language.
This exhibition runs 19th Oct-11th
Jan. Below are some stills taken from Holland
Jane Bevan gathers countryside and woodland
debris on daily walks near her home in Derbyshire. These foraged finds include
bark pieces from fallen trees, thorns, feathers and pine needles - treasures
which are so often overlooked. Once collected she then uses traditional
techniques of tying, binding, stitching and twining to make sculptures and
vessels for the home.
By bringing these natural, found
materials inside, she asks visitors to take a closer look at the details of
nature and to admire and enjoy the texture, colours, strength and versatility
they offer.
Jane Bevan has very kindly loaned
20-21 a touch box of materials she has gathered and manipulated, meaning pupils
and staff can handle mini sculptures and make small works from them.
Bevan's "Walks with Nature"
links directly with the work of Tracey Holland and easily incorporates studies
of literacy as well as science and mini beasts.
This exhibition runs 7th Sept-2nd
Nov. Below are some images of Jane Bevan's beautiful sculptural works.
Our Judge Dredd inspired exhibition
plays host to tributes to the cult classic
comics as well as displaying some original artwork from artists and
collectors. Two school workshops have been offered for pupils to work with
comic artist Kev F. Their
artwork will feature in the exhibition which runs 12th Oct-7th Dec.
Never before has 20-21 held so much potential
for teachers and schools to take advantage of core and bespoke workshops,
guided tours and loan pack hire. For information on any/all of these options
