On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, 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.
