| Martin, Matilda, Marian - Juliette Wood & Simon Heywood Posted: 27 Jun 2012 01:33 AM PDT When: Tuesday, July 24, 2012 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (GMT) Where: Nottingham Contemporary Weekday Cross NG1 2GB Nottingham United Kingdom Hosted By: Nottingham Contemporary Register for this event now at : http://ncwoodandheywood-atom.eventbrite.com Event Details: One of the most arresting figures produced for A Hand of Cards is Upritchard's ambiguous incarnation of Maid Marian in her sculpture Liar, the female protagonist of the Robin Hood legend, one of a number of figures recalling the Medieval myths of Nottingham. Over time, the figure of Marian has moved from her appearance as a bawdy cross-dressing May Day character to the virginal companion to a gentrified Robin Hood. Departing from Upritchard's Marian, distinguished folklorist Juliette Wood will trace these and other guises, considering how they reveal changing attitudes towards femininity. She will be joined in a discussion led by professional storyteller and folklorist Simon Heywood.

Anachronistic refugees from a lost counterculture with talismans turned tourist trinkets, Upritchard's hippies and holy fools embody a frustrated search for communal utopia or mystic communion. Departing from this critical motif, a film season offers a rare chance to see works by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Peter Whitehead – two iconic protagonists of 1960s and 70s cult cinema. The season opens with a lecture by James Riley (Wolfson College, University of Cambridge) – a researcher whose interests range from Beat poetry to ufology, and who is currently collaborating in the organisation of Peter Whitehead's archives. With excerpts of film, music and visual art, Riley will discuss the symbolic status of 1969 as a terminal point at which the decade's earlier optimism gives way to death, violence and 'bad craziness'.

The film explores Freud's account of his first case study (the failed analysis of an 18-year-old woman), the marginal position of women in language and the representation of female sexuality in advertising and pornography. As a prelude to a screening of this celebrated film, Claire Pajaczkowska analyses Alfred Kubin's troubling representation of female sexuality, in drawings which anticipate Freud's identification of unconscious drives. Nottingham Contemporary's public programme is jointly funded by Nottingham Trent University and The University of Nottingham.
