  Course

  21 Feb 2012 to 22 Mar 2012

  Every term the Gallery is running a series of new free artist-led school workshops, inspired by the themes in the current shows. In these sessions, teachers and students critically engage with modern and contemporary art. Participating in a range of activities, groups look, discuss and think creatively about the themes and concepts of current shows. Suggested activities expand and continue the discussion back in the classroom.

• Artists Film International: Corin Sworn at Whitechapel Gallery

  Art

  19 Jan 2012 to 25 Mar 2012

  An exhibition featuring Corin Sworn’s video Lens Prism which presents an unbroken monologue spoken by an actor. Combining a variety of 19th and 20th century reference points to literature, theory and film, the work becomes the prism through which these are reinterpreted. Corin Sworn is interested in the ways that narrative can be appropriated, disrupted and re-edited to construct different stories. Her work weaves together a complex mesh of fragmented references and memories to reveal the subjectivity of personal experience.
