Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
