Other Curatorial Activities

Professor Neil Cox recently curated the exhibition ‘In the Presence of Things’ at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon which opened to the public on 21 October 2011.

The exhibition, the second of two focusing on still life, examines still life in modern art from the invention of photography to the beginnings of consumer culture (1840 to 1955).

The exhibition features over ninety works, including major artists such as Monet, Van Gogh, Cézanne, Picasso and Matisse.

On 17th February 2011, CCS hosted a symposium, organised by Jes Fernie, Associate Curator of Firstsite, on the topic of destroyed artworks.
