OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Desmond Shawe-Taylor, the current Surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures, will give a talk on the theme of ‘Art & Order’: a discussion of the way in which Queen Victoria’s acquisition of paintings contrasted with that of other great collectors, such as The Tate and The National Gallery, in its preference for academic, rather than subversive, art. This will be folowed by a Q&A session.
