Judith King, an independent curator specialising in contemporary art within an historical context, is confirmed as a speaker.
Judith’s presentation will focus on the series of projects she has curated for English Heritage at their Northumberland site, Belsay Hall Castle and Gardens since 1996. These are major arts, architecture and design projects that invite artists to respond directly to the architectural, social and individual narratives that lie within this extraordinary place. Belsay includes a fourteenth century castle, seventeenth century manor house and nineteenth century Greek revival style country house, stripped of all furnishings. Fashion designers, architects, performers and film directors have all made new commissioned installations, films, audio and sculptural works that together form a curated project. The Sitooteries, Sitting Pretty, Fashion at Belsay and the latest project Picture House have gained national and international recognition and increased visitor numbers and new audiences for English Heritage and the Northumberland region.
