Teachers' Preview:  John Newling: Ecologies of Value & Piero Gilardi: Collaborative Effects at Nottingham Contemporary

Thu 31 January

An invitation to join us for a free Teachers' Private View and Workshop – and a well deserved glass of wine at the end of the working day. Our experienced Associate Artists will show you round the exhibition and give you plenty of ideas about ways you can use the exhibition with your students.  There'll be a chance to look through our free Teachers' Resource Box, pick up copies of our Teachers' Notes, chat about your own particular needs and take part in a practical workshop.

Open to teachers of all subjects, it's a great opportunity for some free CPD and to network with other local teachers.

For the first exhibition of 2013 we present two artists, who address the natural world and our environment, this exhibition runs from 26 January to 7 April 2013.

The environment is a major theme of Nottingham's own internationally renowned artist John Newling. He is paired
with 1960s Arte Povera (Poor Art) legend Piero Gilardi - a major Italian artist and activist. Amazing interactive work includes 12 foot cabbages, working greenhouses, green garden "carpets",  and a tree that literally chases you...

Learning themes: Science, RE, citizenship, politics, PHSEE, art and design (including installations and Poor Art).

For more information see www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/schools, email learn@nottinghamcontemporary.org, or call us on 0115 948 9750.

We look forward to welcoming you.
