High tea and lecture: Magritte and the Mad Hatter
Saturday 30 November from 10:30am to 1pm
Join lecturer Lizzy Marshall as she delves into the surreal world of René Magritte and explores how the artist challenges our perceptions of reality by combining images of ordinary objects with witty texts.
Inspired by English poet and novelist Lewis Carroll, Marshall will take you on a journey where visuals and language interrupt one another and demonstrate how easily meaning can be turned upside down.
Lizzy Marshall is an independent curator, writer and sessional academic at the University of New South Wales School of Art & Design. She has held curatorial positions at the National Gallery of Ireland and the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin.
After the lecture, enjoy a delicious champagne high tea at 11.45am in the function room on the ground level of Naala Nura.
