A beautiful film with a strength in it’s message- looked visually amazing on the big screen at ICON Birmingham

What an incredible project and important insights. Was moved to tears to see this level of representation. Hope it can tour different cities and countries!

"Has anything really changed ... ?". Yes. Everything. Significantly and global. To position women in 2024 as hard done to and perpetually struggling implies they have no agency or opportunity. It denigrates the work done by women in the last hundred years to change the landscape. It ignores the outstanding women of the last century. It perpetuates a division of the sexes which now only exists for those who wish it to. Be more precise in your statements as an educator.

The gallery has always been my sanctuary. Congrats.

Found a James priddey watercolor painting called morning magic it's approved by Warwick galleries 😍 found it behind another painting

Gorgeous filmmaking and wonderful subjects

As a SAHM of 11 years (so far) and almost 40 years old... this is really worrying... I feel for all these women, this is such an important message - thank you for hearing and sharing their voices and experiences, I hope this drives change x

Given the absurdity of 'high church' this is pretty tame in comparison. You have my straight white blessings. Wonderful.

Definitely there's plenty of information about the fact that Leonora Carrington never married Max Ernst. Dorothea Tanning did marry Ernst though...

Dear Hetain, I have come accross your work thanks to Ted Talk books and I am fascinated by what you do. Is there aywhere I can find the full show the Behind the scenes videos refer to? Thanks a lot.

Brilliant, thank you!!

Characterising Breton as ‘misogynist’ is a lie and slander as his long term friendships and associations with female surrealists can attest. There is ample evidence from his friendship with women like Joyce Mansour, Claude Cahun, Meret Oppenheim that this is is not in the least the case. Personally I find it curious that these same white academics comprehensively ignore the work and contributions of women of colour such as Suzanne Cesaire, Jayne Cortez and others without blinking. Isn’t it time the racism and white privilege of these art colonists is called to account?

There's some beautiful collections there. I wish the gallery would have more confidence though in presenting the art, it seemed almost ashamed to be displaying many of its painting when I visited in 2021.

The complete politicisation of art. Alistair Hudson: "how we create a culture that works for everybody", "art as a tool for social change", "art as a tool for changing society", "is the way the artworks are presented the right way for this moment in time?", "does the gallery represent all the cultures in our city?" "whose story are we telling and who decides what story is told?" "Our colonial attitude to other cultures". The taking down of Hylas and the Nymphs was about censorship, not about "opening up different voices". The Nazis banned works of art that didn't suit their taste, branding it degenerate art. That's precisely where this is going. Art is referred to as "white and male". So art is to be judged or selected according to the sex and/or ethnicity of the artist rather than according to its quality as art. To me that is extremely patronising. No one should be judged or selected merely because of their sex or ethnicity. I love the work of Gwen John, for example, because I love her paintings, not because she is a woman. Clare Gannaway asks if artworks are "relevant in the 21st century". Are the contents of the British Museum relevant in the 21st century? Or the V & A? Or the National Gallery? Or the Louvre? Or the Met? Or the Uffizi? Is Giotto relevant in the 21st century"? Or Masaccio? Or Michelangelo? Or Leonardo? Or Titian? Or Caravaggio? Or Cezanne? Or Bonnard? Or Picasso? Is it really to be the job of a curator to tell us what sort of art is relevant - i.e. to her? She talks about "this Victorian fantasy". The story was a Greek myth, not a Victorian fantasy. I've reached 20 minutes and I can't listen to this any more.

52:01 "The past does not sit still. However much we might not want it. Because we are always thinking about it from a perspective from where we are." Which is a way of explaining, rationally, why history is always revisionist

Happy Birthday 🎂

He Doesn't even paint the painting Himself WACK

😆 pr໐๓໐Ş๓

Does this sound system have a name?

Oh to get be in the presence of _The Divine David..!!_

PARABÉNS .....🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁

Was the earthquake a part of it ??

Now do one Islam-y.

This looks brilliant - but not very accessible for people who use wheelchairs and have autism?

What a load of self indulgent shit

🤷 PЯӨMӨƧM

A true "women's collective"! A feminist take over. A foot in the door and the gender fascists find a new, funded centre with all the cushy privileges. Don't even consider being "included" if you're a white male.

May God bless St David the Divine and all who sail in her

Bonkers! We love it!

Bless Derek x

Bless Derek for all he did for us ! Xxxx

Does anyone know who does the song in this. It's sublimr

I HAVE A AUTISTIC GRANDAUGHTER SHES 16 ALL DAY IN HER ROOM HER MINDS ON ART HER WIRKS AMAZING I CANT BELIVE HER WORK.HER SCHOOL ARE AMAZED SHE HAS HER OWN AUTISTIC TEACHERS. I WOULD LIVE TO C HER ART GO SOMEWHERE. SHES INTO AMINA MAKES HER AMINA DOLLS TO.IM HER NANNY EILEEN I LIVE BEXLEYHEATH KENT ANY ADVICE CAN YOU GIVE ME.PLEAS

Untalented people censoring the work of a genius of painting. A lot of bullshit spoken to justify putting resentful ideology over art in its pure state. Ridiculous.

Nicely done - very down to earth.

"Go West YOUNG MAN".....🇻🇨🇻🇨✍🏿

Beautiful place, It's possible to arrange a private exhibition there?? or a group of local artists?? or any recommendation to where can be done??

I thought this was really well done.

We are very grateful for opportunities like this for our special children, they make a real positive difference. Thank you

I love Grayson's Art Club and looked forward to viewing this video. Unfortunately, due to social distancing, the narrator and unbelievably others filming at the same time, were so near the artwork discussed, it prevented the camera getting close enough to the pieces, so that we could enjoy them too.

Sonia is absolutely amazing

Thanks for this video. Alex Robinson’s models are the best! He’s my best friend’s (sisters by heart) son, so I am biased - but many other people think that they’re great too. Definitely hoping & praying for an animated film.

Fascinating lecture. Thank you

What are they exhibiting?

I was so looking forward to seeing this but the camera work and sound needs consideration..... not easy to engage with content.

Terrible sound : I can’t hear my namesake

Thank you. I live in Scotland but if, and as soon as restrictions are lifted, this will be my 2nd bucket list wish to visit .....after my family.

I watched the TV show about this tonight and found it so moving. I would so love to visit this group of works, if covid allows before it closes

An excellent guide to some of the artwork that we can’t get to see because of the latest lockdown. Natasha and Fiona provide an interesting insight and a great supplement to Grayson’s series if you can’t wait for the second one! Here’s hoping that MAG will be able to open its doors soon to this exhibition.
