Another Evening with Brett Westwood
February 2022
Writer, presenter and naturalist Brett Westwood returns for another fascinating talk. Should we start to re-wild our gardens and restore our relationship with the natural world? His last talk at GO in 2019 was sold out. As we re-open with the ever present Covid, we will limit ticket sales for this event.
A Long Line
March 2022
Elizabeth’s mixed media work explores and complements the differences between the deliberate stitch and abstracted ink and paint, bringing dimension and texture to her work. ‘A Long Line’ is Elizabeth’s first solo exhibition here at GO. The works are inspired by three main pieces: A lockdown self-portrait, a family heirloom and an inkblot.
Polish Posters
Spring 2022
An exhibition of Polish film and theatre posters from the so called ‘Polish School’ of the 1970s-90s. Remarkable works by some of Poland’s most notable post-war artists including Lenica, Walkuski and Tomaszewski. National and cultural resistance is seen underpinning the advertising design of these works.
We welcome visitors back to enjoy exhibitions, events, talks and classes in our upstairs gallery.
As we all continue to live with the pandemic, General Office is maintaining measures to ensure the safety of staff, studio tenants and visitors, including limited capacity, hand sanitisation and social distancing.
