'In Conversation' on Wednesday 3 November at 13.00.
In 2009, through our new Acquisition Scheme, the Contemporary Art Society bought a new work by Emily Wardill for the collection at Aberdeen Art Gallery. The Diamond (Descartes’ Daughter) enters this rich historical and modern collection and adds to the growing group of contemporary works that the gallery are acquiring. The Diamond (Descartes’ Daughter) will open to the public on the 30 October, 2010 and will be the first time that it has been shown as part of the collection at Aberdeen.
On the 3 November to mark this occasion Emily Wardill has been invited by Aberdeen Art Gallery and as part of our Centenary Programme, to do a lunch time ‘In Conversation’. She will talk about her practice and this work in particular.
Exhibition continues: 30 October - 27 November, 2010
