SUMMARY:Telling Stories: Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:Telling Stories: Contemporary Art\nWith David Lilford\, of The Lilford Gallery \nBack after the success of his popular Urban Art talk in 2024\, join David Lilford for a fascinating talk about contemporary art. Here’s what he has to say\, in his own words: \nI love retelling the stories our wonderful artists share with me—sometimes whispered in confidence\, sometimes absolutely true… I’ll let you decide which is which. Today\, I’ll be sharing tales of both the famous and the not-so-famous\, sprinkled with a few secrets that I really hope won’t land me in court. Along the way\, you’ll hear about\, amongst others\, Billy Childish\, Jimmy Cauty\, Blek le Rat\, Luap—and\, if time allows\, a little about Grayson Perry.
