You are warmly invited to join art historian Dr Alexandra Loske and artist Brece Honeycutt for a free online talk on International Colour Day, Thursday, 21 March 2024.
7pm GMT, 8pm CET
Hosted by the German Colour Association, Deutsches Farbenzentrum e.V. (DFZ)

The DFZ is delighted to offer a new format for this colour conversation: a joint presentation by German-British museum curator and author Dr. Alexandra Loske (who is also a new DFZ board member for Colour Theory and Colour Literature) and US-American artist Brece Honeycutt.

The theme will be “Women and Colour”

Dr. Alexandra Loske is Curator of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, England, Research Associate at the Centre for Life History and Life Writing Research (University of Sussex) and has recently published a monograph on the English artist Mary Gartside, who was the first woman who published a colour theory, five years before Goethe’s Doctrine of Colours. Her hand-painted illustrations for her book show a high degree of abstraction, making her a pioneer in the field.

Artist Brece Honeycutt frequently references historical sources and has made colour and materiality a focus of her work, with Gartside being one of her inspirations.

The presentation will begin at 8pm CET (7pm GMT) and will be in English. Each speaker will talk for around 30 to 40 minutes, followed by a Q&A session. Questions can be asked in English or German.
