LACE UNARCHIVED Lace Unarchived brings together a diverse group of designers and artists from across the UK who have each interpreted Nottingham lace in a unique and contemporary way. The exhibition includes lengths of contemporary lace by multi-award-winning and nationally acclaimed textile designers, Timorous Beasties. Light emitting fabrics inspired by Nottingham lace technologies by Sarah Taylor, Research Fellow at Edinburgh Napier University and Sara Robertson, Senior Tutor at the Royal College of Art, will also feature in the show. On display is a complete final collection and unseen development works by high-street women s fashion brand, Oasis. Telling the story of Nottingham lace, Oasis have reimagined some of the 75,000 antique lace samples housed in the Lace Archive at Nottingham Trent University. The collection also features a garment by Final Year BA (Hons) Fashion Design student, Robert Goddard. The exhibition will also include works by Mal Burkinshaw, Programme Director of Fashion at the University of Edinburgh, in collaboration with Sophie Hallette Lace; filmmaker Matthew Woodham; and artist James Winnett, all of which will be presented alongside samples of machine-made lace dating back to the early 1800s. Invited for the diversity of their work, the contributors have all studied the intricacies of Nottingham lace and its technology to create pieces that not only celebrate the rich heritage of lace, but also preserves its place in contemporary design for the future. www.boningtongallery.co.uk/laceunarchived Image MAL BURKINSHAW in collaboration with SOPHIE HALLETTE LACE, photographed by STUART MUNRO
VIDEO DAYS Video Days takes its title from the 90s skateboard video by Blind Skateboards. Produced in 1991 by American skateboarder and filmmaker, Spike Jonze, the iconic video depicts street and park skating in the US, and is considered one of the most influential skate videos of its time. For the duration of 25 days the gallery will be transformed into an open cinema. Running daily, Video Days presents a different film or series of short films each day from different decades and genres. The films screened share several common themes, most prevalent is their relationship to the built environment. Invited participants include independent research agency, Forensic Architecture whose film 77sqm_9:26min documents their counter investigation into evidence relating to the murder of 21-year-old Halit Yozgat in Kassel, Germany. Halit was the ninth of ten racist murders performed by a neo-nazi group known as the National Socialist Underground (NSU) across Germany between 2000 and 2007. Video Days also features Paris-based filmmaker Eric Baudelaire, whose 2017 film Also Known As Jihadi, traces a young man s journey to radicalisation. Other films include contributions from photographer and filmmaker Dick Jewell; and artists Karen Cunningham, and Simon Martin. We launch our open cinema with an evening screen of the 90s skateboard film, Video Days on Thursday 19 April. The full line-up will feature on our website and social channels. www.boningtongallery.co.uk/videodays Image ERIC BAUDELAIRE, Also Known As Jihadi, 2017, digital still
