Critical Dialogue - Donna Lynas
What is contemporary art practice? What are the issues, debates and theoretical elements involved?
‘Critical Dialogue’ is a lecture series designed to explore how contemporary art interacts with the social, political and philosophical dimensions of the contemporary world and where it intersects with other disciplines and discourses.
All people enrolled on the Critical Dialogue series will receive exclusive invites to exhibition private views and other appropriate events.
Wysing Arts Centre
Donna Lynas has been Director of Wysing Arts Centre since April 2005 and has been instrumental in delivering the Centre’s £1.7 million capital development project. She has developed new ways for Wysing Arts Centre to work with its 24 studio artists, all of whom now receive professional development support during their five-year tenure at the centre.
Lynas has developed the organisation into one of Europe’s leading centres for the visual arts, challenging artists and audiences to re-think what is possible, often in partnership with each other. In the last five years this approach has led to the creation of extraordinary projects and experiences.
Previously Lynas was Curator at South London Gallery for six years, and Modern Art Oxford for four. She is an experienced producer, has toured major large-scale exhibitions to venues across the world working with notable artists including Barbara Kruger, Keith Tyson and Julian Schnabel.
