From the Curator of Museum Services at the University of Dundee :
Drawing on the University’s outstanding collection of nearly 300 works by the extraordinary artist, poet and gardener Ian Hamilton Finlay, the current exhibition in the Tower Foyer Gallery, Ian Hamilton Finlay: Works on Paper, draws you into an enticing but dangerous world of prints and poems, sails and sundials, gardens and guillotines.
There are special events coming up to accompany the show:
Tuesday 18th November at 5.30pm – we’re delighted to be one of the first venues to screen a new film about Finlay, The Boat in the Writing Room, and to be joined by its makers, Alastair Peebles and Michael Lloyd, for discussion afterwards - see more at www.dundee.ac.uk/events/boat-writing-room-ian-hamilton-finlay-film-screening
Wednesday 26th November at 5.30pm - Poem/Print creative workshop, in which participants will create their own pieces of visual poetry or typographical art, using a variety of materials including typeface printing blocks and collage. – see more at www.dundee.ac.uk/events/poem-print-creative-workshop
