Exhibition in support of Art Fund's campaign to save Prospect Cottage

Also Screening of “The Garden” at Kino Teatr Thursday 5th March 7.30pm Tickets £9 via www.kino-teatr.co.uk

25% of sales will go to the Art Fund to help secure Prospect Cottage and Jarman’s Legacy .

Lucy Bell Gallery is proud to present an  exhibition that  features  predominantly “unseen” images,  by Derek Jarman’s local friends and fellow film-makers,  often employing Prospect Cottage, and Dungeness as a backdrop.

Derek Jarman (1942-1994) is known as one of our most poetic and  anarchic film-makers and artists, as well as a prominent  gay rights activist. He started his career as a stage designer,  working as Ken Russell’s production designer for “The Devils” 1971.

Jarman's early films were experimental Super 8mm shorts, a form he never entirely abandoned, developing further in his films Imagining October (1984), The Angelic Conversation(1985)The Last of England (1987) and The Garden (1990). In 1977 he made “Jubillee” which has been described as "Britain's only decent  Punk Film" featuring punk figures Wayne County, Jordan, Toyah Willcox and Adam and The Ants.  It is  Caravaggio though that is probably Jarman’s most widely known film, in which he worked with actress Tilda Swinton for the first time.

Art Fund needs to raise £3.5m by 31 March 2020 to purchase Prospect Cottage and to establish a permanently funded programme to conserve and maintain the building, its contents and its garden for the future. More than 25years after his death, Prospect Cottage continues to be a site of pilgrimage for people from all over the world who come to be inspired by its stark beauty and Jarman’s legacy. The cottage and its contents are now being sold following the death in 2018 of Keith Collins, Jarman’s close companion in his final years, to whom he bequeathed the cottage. Over 3,000 people have donated to the Art Fund's campaign to save Prospect Cottage in its first two weeks. To find out more how and to donate visit www.artfund.org/prospect.

GOOD GOVERNANCE INSTITUTE
GOOD GOVERNANCE INSTITUTE
HTV are proud to be working with the good governance Institute. Its predictions and observations of performance in the NHS during this pandemic present great opportunities. Will they be missed? Andrew Corbet-Nolan presents three short videos. "Rather sadly GGI predicted that NHS governance would return to full-fat routines as we pulled through the first stage of the pandemic and disappointingly we are right. The reason we believe is a misappreciation of what actually happened to board working in those three months and as sure as eggs are eggs NHS governance will return back to a porridge of lengthy board and committee meetings and the famed 200 page papers #valuecreation #leadership #governance #healthcare #ethics #medicalmanagement . But understanding what actually happened those three months helps find a way to keep decision making agile and assurance focussed on only the necessary"

LOUISE GRAY - MONEY
As an artist filmmaker and photographer, I've had the privilege of working with many creatives, but collaborating with Louise is uniquely inspiring. The power of creativity unleashed, where plans are merely the starting point for the adventure of making. The experience has only deepened my appreciation for the craft and for those like Louise, who are truly born to make.
