Inner Balance | Exhibition Closing Evening

This special evening is dedicated to Mother's Day and brings together a lecture, a curatorial talk, and the opportunity to spend time with the works before the exhibition closes.

Good Mother, Bad Mother: A Lecture on Louise Bourgeois

The evening opens with a short lecture exploring the theme of motherhood in the work of Louise Bourgeois, one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century. Bourgeois returned to the subject of motherhood throughout her life and career, transforming it into some of the most powerful and complex works in contemporary art history. The lecture examines how she held together tenderness and ambivalence, protection and entrapment, love and grief, in a body of work that continues to resonate deeply.

Curatorial Talk: Inner Balance

The lecture will be followed by a curatorial talk offering deeper insight into the concepts behind Inner Balance. Ksenia Kirkbride's exhibition draws on mythology, spiritual iconography, and philosophical thought to explore the inner life of a woman in search of meaning and equilibrium. The talk will touch on key works in the exhibition and the ideas that connect them.

Drinks and refreshments will be served. All works in the exhibition are available for acquisition.

Free entry. Registration recommended.
